Marshall's study of the Gospel of Luke is part of The New International Greek Testament Commentary, a series based on the UBS Greek New Testament. Each volume provides thorough exegesis on the text that is sensitive to theological themes as well as to the details of the historical, linguistic, and textual context.

Genealogical material occurs frequently in the Old Testament, and in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke as well as in later Jewish literature. What is the purpose of these lists? How do they relate to their historical and literary context, and what is their function in the Hebraic-Christian literary tradition? Dr. Johnson answers these questions in relation to contemporary biblical scholarship, and is concerned to show that such genealogies are not merely appendices to biblical narratives but are closely related to their context in language, structure and theology He attempts to assess the extent to which they reflect the views of the authors of the books or contexts into which they are placed. He also examines the transition of the genealogical form, and shows how its function changed from tribal expressions to the Gospel writers' use of it to illustrate the conviction that Jesus is the fulfillment of the hope of Israel. Concerned as he is more with the literary purpose of this type of biblical literature than with the historical authenticity of various lists, Dr. Johnson examines a subject that is only now beginning to engage the attention of scholars generally.

This is a very controversial subject which disturbs many people. οIf you do get disturbed it will be because of the emotion usually surrounding the subject of "eternal security." οIf you get upset it will NOT be caused by the manner in which Dr. Marshall has presented the subject. It is the contention of the author that there is biblical truth in both the Calvinistic and the Arminian position concerning this volatile subject, and that each camp should candidly recognize the value of the other's positions. John Wesley once wrote, "The truth of the Gospel is within a hairsbreadth of Calvinism." Quite a concession for the chief spokesman of Arminianism! Dr. I. Howard Marshall echoes the contention of Wesley, and then goes even beyond it. "The full Arminian position is as much open to error as is extreme Calvinism. My aim is to reach beyond the Calvinist-Arminian controversy to a position which is biblical."

Pulau Nugini adalah pulau tropis terbesar dan tertinggi, dan merupakan belantara terakhir yang terluas di Bumi. Papua yang berada di bagian barat pulau ini patut mendapat perhatian karena mempunyai gletser khatulistiwa, dataran yang tertutup hutan yang luas, hamparan pegunungan tengah yang menjulang tinggi, kepulauan Raya Ampat yang menawan, dan beberapa ratus masyarakat adat yang tinggal di hutan. Sebagian besar Papua masih dalam kondisi asli dan pengetahuan mengenai lingkungan alamnya masih sangat terbatas. Sebagai salah satu kawasan belantara yang tersisa di dunia, Papua memiliki keanekaragaman hayati dan budaya yang luar biasa. Saat ini, lingkungan Papua menghadapi sejumlah ancaman dari tekanan luar untuk mengeksploitasi hutan dan untuk mengembangkan perkebunan kelapa sawit dan bahan bakar biofuel dalam skala sangat besar. Oleh karena itu penting sekali bagi para pemimpin di Papua untuk menyeimbangkan pembangunan ekonomi dengan pengelolaan sumber daya untuk kesejahteraan penduduknya yang beragam budaya dalam jangka panjang. Penulisan Ekologi Papua melibatkan 76 penulis yang merupakan pakar yang diakui secara global di bidangnya masing-masing. Mereka untuk pertama kalinya menghimpun sejumlah aspek lingkungan Papua. Buku ini dirancang untk para mahasiswa dan pemerhati konservasi, pegiat lingkungan dan peneliti akademis. Masing-masing topik diuraikan secara rinci namun padat dengan data biogeografis, referensi Sejarah, dan wawasan segar mengenai kawasan yang sangat rumit namun mengagumkan ini. Kami berharap buku ini akan mendorong tingkat kesadartahuan tentang Papua, baik pada skala global maupun lokal dan untuk menjadi katalisator bagi konservasi asset alam yang paling berharga secara efektif. Publikasi Ekologi Papua ini merupakan jilid terakhir dalam Seri Ekologi Indonesia.

In the 1990s alone, more than 400 works on angels were published, adding to an already burgeoning genre. Throughout the centuries angels have been featured in, among others, theological works on scripture; studies in comparative religions; works on art, architecture and music; philological studies; philosophical, sociological, anthropological, archeological and psychological works; and even a psychoanalytical study of the implications that our understanding of angels has for our understanding of sexual differences. This bibliography lists 4,355 works alphabetically by author. Each entry contains a source for the reference, often a Library of Congress call number followed by the name of a university that holds the work. More than 750 of the entries are annotated. Extensive indexes to names, subjects and centuries provide further utility.

"Some have argued that life began in the chemical-rich seas of the early Earth, the famous primordial soup, while others are convinced that life began in strange vents pumping hot water out of the sea floor, where the chemical reactions that sustain living cells could get started. Or perhaps life began in volcanic ponds on land, or in meteorite impact zones, or even in beds of clay. Each idea has attracted staunch believers who promote it with an almost religious fervor. But the story of life's origins is more than this: it is a story that takes in some of the greatest discoveries in modern biology, from cells to DNA, and evolution to life's family tree. This book is the first full history of the scientists who struggled to explain one of the greatest mysteries of all: how and why life began"--
