Sometimes business can seem so shady—manipulating the “bottom line,” deceiving the consumer, or gaining promotions because of whom you know.    But Wayne Grudem introduces a novel concept: business itself glorifies God when it is conducted in a way that imitates God’s character and creation. He shows that all aspects of business, including ownership, profit, money, competition, and borrowing and lending, glorify God because they are reflective of God’s nature. Though Grudem isn’t naïve about the easy ways these activities can be perverted and used as a means to sin, he knows that Christians can be about the business of business.    This biblically based book is a thoughtful guide to imitating God during interactions with customers, coworkers, employees, and other businesses. See how your business—and your life in business—can be dedicated to God’s glory.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56299105550709,"sku":"9781433581342","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781433581342_e9f91277-d263-4b1e-8aa8-66035510e890.jpg?v=1786034143"},{"product_id":"9781433532610","title":"Evangelical Feminism and Biblical Truth – An Analysis of More Than 100 Disputed Questions","description":"What does the Bible really teach about the roles of men and women?

Several respected scholars endorse this theory, but is it consistent with the Bible’s teaching? In A Biblical Case against Theistic Evolution, condensed and adapted from Theistic Evolution, Wayne Grudem and other leading scholars challenge the belief that Genesis is mostly symbolic, rather than a true, historical narrative. Grudem examines 12 specific events in Genesis 1–3 and explains why acknowledging their historicity is critical to understanding the rest of Scripture. He also emphasizes several foundational doctrines, including God’s ongoing involvement in creation, the beginnings of mankind, and the origin of sin and death, to show readers how the theory of theistic evolution undermines essential truths throughout the Old and New Testaments.

The Bible provides some clear answers, but other areas remain blurry: Is divorce morally acceptable in a case of physical abuse?

In this short booklet, theologian Wayne Grudem offers a thought-provoking analysis of what the Bible says—and doesn’t say—about divorce and remarriage.

How should Christians live when the surrounding culture is increasingly hostile to Christian moral values? Granted, the Bible is our guide—but how can we know if we are interpreting it rightly with regard to ethical questions about wealth and poverty, marriage and divorce, birth control, abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, ethical business practices, environmental stewardship, and dozens of other issues? And on a very practical level, how can we know God’s will in the ordinary decisions of life?  To address questions like these, Wayne Grudem, author of the bestselling book Systematic Theology, draws on 40 years of teaching classes in ethics to write this wide-ranging introduction to biblical moral reasoning, organized according to the structure of the Ten Commandments.

Peter's short letter to 'the exiles of the Dispersion' addresses many topics of ongoing relevance: holiness, the sufferings of Christ and his followers, God's sovereignty and grace, the work of the Holy Spirit, the church as the new people of God, the reality of the unseen spiritual world, and the challenge of trusting in God in the midst of daily life. For Wayne Grudem, these seemingly disparate themes are tied together by suffering as a form of imitating Christ.   The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries (TNTC) have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament.   These commentaries are designed to help readers understand what the Bible actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The aim throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today.   \"The Tyndale volumes have long been the premier shorter-length commentary series on both Testaments throughout the English-speaking world.\"Craig Blomberg, Denver Seminary\"Tyndale commentaries are always useful, not least because they focus so clearly on the text of Scripture, and do not fall into the trap of paying too much attention to other commentaries and not enough to the scriptural text they are intended to expound and explain.

The most widely-used text of the last 25 years in its discipline, Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem has been thoroughly revised and expanded (all 57 chapters) for the first time, while retaining the features that have made it the standard in its field: clear explanations, an emphasis on each doctrine’s scriptural basis, and practical applications to daily life.   Part of the brilliance of Systematic Theology over the years has been its simplicity and ease of use. Each chapter follows the same structure. First, there is discussion of the doctrine being considered, such as justification or the Trinity or the deity of Christ. An explanation of where that doctrine is supported in the Bible and possible objections follow. Personal application and key terms to know for personal growth are then provided. Chapters also include a scripture memory passage, references to other literature on the topic, and suggested hymns and worship songs.   With several hundred pages of new content, this new edition now includes the following distinctive features, including:Updated, fuller analysis of several recent controversies within evangelicalism, including the eternal relationship between the Father and the Son in the Trinity, the question of God's atemporal eternity, the role of women in the church, \"seeker-sensitive\" churches, miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, and contemporary worship music.   New, thoughtful critiques of open theism, the \"new perspective on Paul,\" Molinism (or \"middle knowledge\"), \"Free Grace\" theology, and the preterist view of Christ’s second comingCompletely revised, stronger chapter on the clarity of ScriptureCompletely revised, stronger chapter on creation and evolution (including a longer critique of theistic evolution)Completely updated bibliographiesAll Scripture quotations updated from RSV to ESVA contemporary worship song added at the end of each chapter (while retaining the traditional hymns as well)Wayne Grudem's warm, pastoral and practical approach to systematic theology has been widely appreciated.
