Effective Bible Teaching

RYKEN, Leland

James Wilhoit explores how Christian education can go beyond mere activity to instill a solid perspective and make sense of a perplexing world. He envisions the ideal model of Christian education and integrates the discipline with the social sciences. In the final chapter Wilhoit presents an evangelical theory of biblical instruction.

Saints of the past can't seem to say enough about their ecstatic experiences with the words of Scripture. The writer of Psalm 19, for example, can hardly contain himself as he exclaims that God's words and ways have revived his soul, made him wise, brought joy to his heart, given him clarity and correct perspective on his life, and warned him of danger. Why should our experiences of the Bible today fall short of this standard? What are we missing? Spiritual formation experts James Wilhoit and Evan Howard argue that our ancestors in the faith responded to the special nature of Scripture with special habits of reading. In this step-by-step introduction to the practice of lectio divina, you will learn what it means to read your way into a new and life-changing intimacy with God. Their simple, easy-to-follow explanation of this ancient practice provides a perfect foundation for you to begin meeting God in his Word as you: 
<ul>
<li>read,</li>
<li>meditate,</li>
<li>pray</li>
<li>and contemplate.</li>
</ul> Discover a new experience of God's Word--one that leads you to experience more of God himself.

Galvin, James C.

Most books on spiritual formation focus on the individual. But spiritual formation is at the heart of the church's whole purpose for existence. It must be a central task for the church to carry out Christ's mission in the world. This book offers an introduction to spiritual formation set squarely in the local church. The first edition has been well received and widely used as a textbook. The second edition has been updated throughout, incorporates findings from positive psychology, and reflects an Augustinian formation perspective. Foreword by Dallas Willard.

El «Diccionario enciclopédico de imágenes y símbolos de la Biblia» es la primera obra de referencia contemporánea dedicada a la exploración de las imágenes, símbolos, motivos, metáforas y modelos literarios que se encuentran en la Biblia.
Todo lector de la Biblia se ha encontrado con el poder que tienen en nosotros las imágenes y símbolos de las Escrituras ya que son enigmáticas y desconcertantes. Estas imágenes con su fuerza oculta se han grabado en la propia lengua y la gramática de la fe cristiana y la cultura occidental, con un sentido completo y profundo, imágenes y símbolos que dicen mucho más que su sentido gramatical, por ejemplo: Mateo 19.24 Reina Valera 1977 (RVR1977) 24 «Otra vez os digo: Es más fácil que un camello pase por el ojo de una aguja, que el que un rico entre en el reino de Dios». El significado de esta imagen o símbolo dice mucho más de lo que gramaticalmente se expresa, e incluso está interiozizado dentro de nuestra cultura cristiana y occidental. Es una imagen y símbolo con un significado amplio. ¿Por qué entonces los diccionarios bíblicos tradicionales y obras de referencia ofrecen tan poca ayuda a los exploradores de la galaxia de imágenes verbales de la Biblia?
Sobresalen en describir muchos conceptos y palabras, pero a menudo son ciegos a las expresiones artísticas y sordos a los significados musicales que se hacen eco de dentro del mundo del texto bíblico, y perdemos una riqueza enorme a no saber interpretarlos en su profunidad. 
El propósito del Gran diccionario enciclopédico de imágenes y símbolos de la Biblia es servir como libro de referencia que ayude a los lectores de la Escritura, estudiantes y comunicadores cristianos a explorar el fascinante y variado mundo del simbolismo bíblico. 
Los escritores de la Biblia –afirman los autores de este diccionario– eran verdaderos artistas desde un punto de vista literario. Por tanto, leer y estudiar la Biblia desde una perspectiva literaria que incluya la aclaración de sus imágenes, símbolos y figuras de lenguaje, aporta una comprensión mucho más amplia de su significado y con ello una mejor captación de su mensaje moral y espiritual.
Aunque pensado y escrito a nivel académico, su principal audiencia no son los eruditos. Los autores se han esforzado en conseguir una obra legible y entendible, que no solo sirva como herramienta de referencia indispensable para complementar los diccionarios bíblicos, sino también que despliegue nuevas vías de lectura y apreciación de la Biblia.
