In a world torn by racial, social, economic, political, and gender tensions, the message of Romans is deeply relevant and needed.

Esther
ISBN: 9781783685059
£11.99
The book of Esther seems to show little interest in the temple, the Promised Land, prayer or other signs of the Israelite religion.

Lau examines the book in its original context, and considers how to interpret and...
-
Leviticus

-
Numbers
ISBN: 9781783684144
£14.99

The Hebrew title, Bammidbar, means “In the Desert”, indicating that the setting is the most important part of the story. The God who delivered them from Egypt is the same God who said he...
