Edward L. Flom
Paperback, 192 pp., $11.99
SEI Publishing (June 2010)

Thirty Three: The Story of Hope
In the first week of April in the year AD 33, a relatively obscure Jewish teacher was tried, brutally beaten and then crucified by the ruling Roman authorities. The Rabbi’s disciples feared for their own lives and went into hiding. Yet, an astonishing series of events would manifest from the moment a highly respected citizen of Jerusalem, Joseph of Arimathea, requested the body of the executed Rabbi for a proper burial. The Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate promptly granted Joseph’s wish. From that very hour in history, a most extraordinary story would unfold.

The Advent of Evangelicalism

The Advent of Evangelicalism
Michael A. G. Haykin, Kenneth J. Stewart, Timothy George
Paperback, 432 pp., $24.99
B&H Books (November 1, 2008)

The Advent of Evangelicalism
David Bebbington’s 1989 book, Evangelicalism in Modern Britain: A History from the 1730s to the 1980s, put forth the idea that evangelical religion is the result of transatlantic revival in the 1730s, and that it took a working together attitude toward the Enlightenment rather than a contradictory one. Today, Bebbington’s thesis has gained international acceptance, and scholars from Europe and North America present a review of its primary arguments and conclusions here in The Advent of Evangelicalism.
