Head over to Fundamentally Reformed for day 5 of the 4th Annual 12 Days Before Christmas Book Giveaway. Today’s giveaway is sponsored by Accordance Bible Software, InterVarsity Press, & Zondervan.

Welcome to day 4 of the 4th Annual 12 Days Before Christmas Book Giveaway! Today’s giveaway is sponsored by Accordance Bible Software, InterVarsity Press and Zondervan. We have three prize packs up for grabs, which will be explained below. The resources featured in today’s giveaway are:

 

	The Scholar’s 9 Introductory Level offers a basic Greek and Hebrew study package at an affordable price. Perfect for the seminary student on a limited budget, the Scholar’s Intro includes the Greek New Testament (NA27) and Hebrew Bible (BHS) with full grammatical tagging, Thayer’s Greek Lexicon and Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon, the King James with Strong’s numbers, your choice of an additional modern English Bible, and a basic package of study aids. That’s the equivalent of $585 worth of print resources for a retail price of just $149***Click here to find the answer to question 4.
	This volume focuses on five views of justification and calls on representative proponents to set forth their case and then respond to each other. The five views are:Traditional Reformed (Michael S. Horton) Progressive Reformed (Michael F. Bird) New Perspective (James D. G. Dunn) Deification, or Theosis (Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen) Roman Catholic (Gerald O’Collins and Oliver Rafferty)
	For over twenty years, Craig Blomberg’s The Historical Reliability of the Gospels has provided a useful antidote to many of the toxic effects of skeptical criticism of the Gospels. Offering a calm, balanced overview of the history of Gospel criticism, especially that of the late twentieth century, Blomberg introduces readers to the methods employed by New Testament scholars and shows both the values and limits of those methods. He then delves more deeply into the question of miracles, Synoptic discrepancies and the differences between the Synoptics and John. After an assessment of noncanonical Jesus tradition, he addresses issues of historical method directly.
	Uncovering this North African tradition and offering it to a wide reading audience is the task that Tom Oden sets for himself in this fascinating tour de force. The book, originating as lectures delivered at the Islamic Da’wa University in Tripoli in 2008 and later expanded as the W. H. Griffith Thomas Lectures in 2009 at Dallas Theological Seminary, has been expanded and refined to provide additional insights and references, surveying the texts, architecture and landmarks of this important period of Christian history. It also serves as a valuable companion to Oden’s earlier offerings in How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind and The African Memory of Mark.***Click here to find the answer to question 3.
	Spirituality often evokes images of quiet centeredness, meditative serenity and freedom from life’s pressures. It’s become a chic commodity, with its benefits evoked by images of sunrises and secluded retreats. Contrast the apostle Paul, who promotes a cross-shaped spirituality for fools making their way though life’s trials.As he explores this ancient spiritual path, Rodney Reeves probes our understanding of what Christian spirituality should be. And to illuminate its transformative power, he gives us living illustrations of what it means to follow Paul as he followed Christ. Here is a book that joins a deep understanding of Paul with a pastoral and spiritual wisdom born of experience. ***Click here to find the answer to question 2.
	According to author Con Campbell, making a small, regular time commitment and utilizing the right tools can make all the difference in preserving and improving the abilities Greek students work so hard to obtain. This primer sets out the basic practices pastors and former language students can follow to retain their Greek language skills.***Click here to find the answer to question 1.
