Called to Marketplace Discipleship


Book Description

The thrust of the message of this book is that the individual Christian, who walks daily under the guidance and discipline of the Holy Spirit, studies and obeys daily the word of God in the Bible, will not succumb to the corruption at the workplace or at home. Rather, the person will become an instrument of righteousness for the edification and constructive development of their community and nation. In the Bible, we read about Daniel, Joseph, Esther, and other professionals who were a blessing to their respective societies as the Lord used them because they walked with Him irrespective of their circumstances and behaviours of people around them. Today, the Lord is calling us to become Daniels, Josephs and Esthers so that He will use us in righteousness to exalt our corners of His world, that is our communities and nations, to the glory of His Name. That is the challenge of the book.

Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies, Issue 6.2


Book Description

The Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies (JBTS) is an academic journal focused on the fields of Bible and Theology from an inter-denominational point of view. The journal is comprised of an editorial board of scholars that represent several academic institutions throughout the world. JBTS is concerned with presenting high-level original scholarship in an approachable way. Academic journals are often written by scholars for other scholars. They are technical in nature, assuming a robust knowledge of the field. There are fewer journals that seek to introduce biblical and theological scholarship that is also accessible to students. JBTS seeks to provide high-level scholarship and research to both scholars and students, which results in original scholarship that is readable and accessible. As an inter-denominational journal JBTS is broadly evangelical. We accept contributions in all theological disciplines from any evangelical perspective. In particular, we encourage articles and book reviews within the fields of Old Testament, New Testament, Biblical Theology, Church History, Systematic Theology, Practical Theology, Philosophical Theology, Philosophy, and Ethics.
