The New Standard in Biblical Exposition Based on the International Sunday School Lessons (Issl)

International Bible Lesson Commentary-Kjv September 2006 - August 2007

In this study of John 1-12, the author develops the thesis that Jesus is the divine, incarnate Torah, and that Jesus as Torah is the conceptual center of the Fourth Gospel. An overarching goal of the treatise is to explore the Evangelist's portrait of Jesus as the fulfillment of the Mosaic law. Connected with this aim is the central thesis that the Messiah appears in the Gospel of John as the realization of all the law's redemptive-historical types, prophecies, and expectations. A corresponding major claim is that those who trust in Jesus for eternal life and heed his teaching satisfy fully the requirements of the moral law recorded in Scripture. An examination of John 1-12 substantiates the truth that Jesus is the perfection of the gift of the Tanakh. He existed in the beginning with the Father and Spirit as God. The eternal Torah is light and life, fulfillment and joy, in fellowship with the triune God for all eternity. The divine Tanakh, by becoming incarnate, revealed the glory of the Father and made the fullness of God's grace and truth available to humankind. The living Word not only provides salvation but in so doing unveils the loving and redeeming heart of the Father for all to see. The Son of God is the one to whom all the Old Testament luminaries--such as Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and Isaiah--pointed, and in whom their eschatological hopes were realized. The Anointed One is greater than and supreme over all the religious institutions once associated with the Jerusalem tabernacle and temple. Even such Jewish festivals as the Feast of Tabernacles, Pentecost, Dedication, and Passover find their fulfillment in the Messiah. This volume is appropriate for personal study and is also suitable as a college and seminary text.

Jesus as Torah in John 1-12

In this work, Dan Lioy first investigates the biblical concept of the law. He then conducts a thoroughgoing analysis of the Decalogue and the Sermon on the Mount. He gives particular attention to the connection between these two great bodies of biblical literature. The result is a comprehensive study that argues for the enduring relevance of the moral law. This volume is appropriate for personal study and is also suitable as a college and seminary text.

The Decalogue in the Sermon on the Mount

By making use of a grammatical-historical form of exegesis, Dan Lioy conducts a thoroughgoing textual analysis of Revelation with special attention given to the connection between its Christocentric themes and its doctrinal rationale. The result is a comprehensive study that is informed by the Old Testament, the New Testament, and extrabiblical material. Appropriate for personal study as well as a college and seminary text, this book provides an insightful, engaging, and scholarly treatment of the Apocalypse.

The Book of Revelation in Christological Focus

With Uplifted Head: Preaching Hope is a book that exalts Christ by giving insight into the biblical teaching about hope. The book also shows interested readers how to preach in a way that will foster hope among members of their congregations. Because the book is designed for both pastors and lay church leaders, it does more than just present a theological understanding of biblical hope. It also has plenty of suggestions for preaching hope directly and indirectly. The authors maintain that only biblical hope, focused on the resurrection and affirmed by the renewing Holy Spirit, can change believers internally and create anticipation for a future in the presence of the living God.
