CARSON D A A model of Christian maturity (2 Corinthians 10-13) [WAS called From Triumphalism To Maturity]
Baker Book House 2006 0801067685 / 9780801067686 Paperback
[Number in stock: 3]
According to Bible scholar D.A. Carson, 2 Corinthians 10-13 most clearly reveals Paul's heart and mind. It contains well-known passages, such as Paul's description of his thorn in the flesh and an intense chronicle of his specific suffering. This section of Scripture also models Paul's style of spiritual leadership and warns of false leadership in the church, something of crucial importance to anyone with an influential role in the body of believers. Carson unpacks Paul's call for us to embrace discipline and obedience, and his thoughts on the nature of spiritual boasting. Through Paul we explore the struggles, opportunities, and intentions of a Christian under fire, journeying with him as he seeks to guide the Corinthian church and speak to us as well.

CARSON D A Basics for believers (Philippians)
Intervarsity Press 2004 1844740307 / 9781844740307 Paperback
[Number in stock: 11]
Most of us have felt the temptation to opt for a domesticated version of the gospel. We want enough to make us happy and secure, but not so much that it really affects our lives. We want ecstasy not repentance, security not selfless love and services.
We may not like to admit it, but the temptation is there. It is nothing new, but perhaps it is especially strong today. Many changes in society and increasing self-indulgence all put pressure on believers to water down the gospel and minimize its impact on our lives.
Paul saw the insidious evil of similar influences in the Roman Empire of his day and recognized that these pressures could harm the fledgling Christian community in Philippi. He couldn't visit them, but he wrote to encourage them to maintain basic Christian commitments and to be on guard against any array of dangers: temptations from within and seduction and opposition from without.
In Basics for Believers, renowned Bible teacher and scholar Don Carson opens up the life-transforming lessons of Philippians, showing us how we can put the whole gospel first, learn to live as disciples of Christ and never give up the Christian walk.
D. A. Carson is Research Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is also a well-known speaker at events in Britain and is author of many books, including The Gagging of God (Apollos) and The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God (IVP).

Carson D A Christ and culture revisited
Eerdmans 2008 0802831745 / 9780802831743 Hardcover
[Number in stock: 4]
Called to live in the world, but not to be of it, Christians must maintain a balancing act that becomes more precarious the further our culture departs from its Judeo-Christian roots. How should members of the church interact with such a culture, especially as deeply enmeshed as most of us have become?
D. A. Carson applies his masterful touch to this problem. He begins by exploring the classic typology of H. Richard Niebuhr and his five options for understanding culture. Carson proposes that these disparate options are in reality one still larger vision. Using the Bible's own story line and the categories of biblical theology, he attempts to work out what that unifying vision is. Carson acknowledges the helpfulness of Niebuhr's grid and other similar matrices but warns against giving them canonical force.
More than just theoretical, Christ and Culture Revisited is also designed practically to help Christians untangle current messy debates on living in the world. Carson emphasizes that the relation between Christ and culture is not limited to an either/or cultural paradigm -- Christ against culture or Christ transforming culture. Instead Carson offers his own paradigm in which all the categories of biblical theology must be kept in mind simultaneously to inform the Christian worldview.
Though several other books on culture interact with Niebuhr, none of them takes anything like the biblical-theological approach adopted here. Ground-breaking and challenging, Christ and Culture Revisited is a tour de force.
D. A. Carson is research professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois. He has written nearly fifty other books, including The Gagging of God: Christianity Confronts Pluralism and How Long, O Lord? Reflections on Suffering and Evil.

[Number in stock: 2] [Number on order: 8]
Called to live in the world, but not to be of it, Christians face the challenge of how they should interact with their culture, within which they can be deeply enmeshed, and which often departs from Judeo-Christian roots and values in significant ways.

He proposes that these disparate options are in reality one still larger vision.

Carson D A Collected Writings on Scripture
Crossway 2010 1433514419 / 9781433514418 Hardcover
[Number in stock: 2] [Number on order: 2]
Essays and reviews from thirty years of a scholar's reflection on the doctrine of Scripture. Carson defends the inspiration and authority of Scripture through a theologically balanced and confessional perspective.
God's Word has always had enemies, but in recent years the inspiration and authority of Scripture have been attacked with renewed vigor. Respected scholar D. A. Carson has written widely on the nature of Scripture over the past thirty years, and here presents a timely collection of his work in two parts.
In part 1, Carson selects essays written on such themes as how to interpret the Bible, recent developments in the doctrine of Scripture, unity and diversity in the New Testament, and redaction criticism. Presenting a theologically balanced and confessional perspective, Carson defines the terms of a number of debates, critiques interpretive methods and theories, and suggests positive guidelines for future action.
Part 2 presents critical reviews of nine books dealing with the inspiration and authority of Scripture. Though substantial in content, Carson's detailed reviews will foster careful thought and perspective in those who are relatively new to the debates surrounding biblical inspiration and authority.
This volume is a diverse collection that will prove to be a helpful resource to both seasoned pastors and scholars and those who are just starting serious study of the Bible.
D. A. Carson is Research Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where he has taught since 1978. He earned a doctorate in New Testament Studies from Cambridge University. He is an active guest lecturer, and he has written or edited more than forty books. He and his wife, Joy, have two children and live in the north suburbs of Chicago.

CARSON D A Cross and Christian ministry - Leadership lessons from 1 Corinthians
Baker Book House 2003 0801091683 / 9780801091681 Paperback
[Number in stock: 8]
Is the cross truly the center of your ministry?
Today we commonly see images of the cross adorning churches, dangling from necklaces, and gleaming from lapels. Yet the image that is so sanitized for us today was grotesque and abhorrent to those living in the first century. It was a symbol of evil, torture, and shame. It is this realistic and horrifying view of the cross that should call us to Christian ministry and compel us to share the Good News of Christ's triumph over death.
Through his exposition of 1 Corinthians, D. A. Carson presents a comprehensive view of what the death of Christ means in preaching and ministering to God's people. He confronts the issues of factionalism, servant-leadership, shaping world Christians, and the source of knowledge in order to help Christian leaders learn principles for dynamic, cross-centered worship.
D. A. Carson (Ph.D., University of Cambridge) is research professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. He is the author or editor of over forty books, including The King James Version Debate; How Long, O Lord?; A Call to Spiritual Reformation; and Justification and Variegated Nomism.

CARSON D A For the love of God - volume 1
Intervarsity Press 1998 0851115896 / 9780851115894 Hardcover
[Number in stock: 11]
Devotional reading guide with comments and reflections for each day.
At their best, writes don Carson, Christians have saturated themselves in the Word of God... The means by which sanctifies men and women, setting them apart as his own people, is the Word of truth.
Many people, however, would admit that they have allowed the pressures of life to crowd out serious and thoughtful reading of the Bible. Also, in a culture that has moved away from a Christian worldview, the Bible's unwavering proclamations and fantastic stories seem ever stranger. The big picture of the Bible is gradually fading from view.
For the Love of God encourages us to face these challenges. Now, more than ever, the need to read the Bible and to grasp its relevance for our lives is critical.
This devotional guide follows Robert Murray M'Cheyne's Bible-reading plan, taking you through the New Testament and Psalms twice and the Old Testament once. Don Carson has written thought-provoking comments and reflections to accompany one of each day's scriptural passages. And, most uniquely, he offers a perspective that places each reading into the larger framework of history and God's eternal plan, in order to deepen our understanding of his sovereignty and the unity and power of his Word.

Carson D A From the Resurrection to His Return
CFP 2010 1845505778 / 9781845505776 Paperback
[Number in stock: 9]
This is not another book on what view to hold about the reality of Jesus' return but it is about how to live in the light of his imminent return. Don Carson accurately determines that the Christian church has always lived in what the bible terms 'the last days'...the period between his ascension to his Father in heaven and his return on the clouds of heaven.
Based on Paul's teaching in 2 Timothy 3, Don Carson gives wise counsel to today's church to avoid false teaching and to seek good mentors, those who will lead us in truth. He shows that to rely on worldly wisdom is folly, that the world is utterly sinful, but rather to cling to the Bible as the source of our counsel and guidance and help. But more than that he shows us that it is in holding the Bible out to a needy world we take its message to where it is needed the most.
To live in the last days is not to hang on in quiet desperation but to boldly take the word of God and apply it to every situation knowing that it will meet every need just as it has throughout the two millennia since Jesus promised to return again. That is how to live in the last days!
D. A. Carson is research professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. He has been at Trinity since 1978.

CARSON D A King James Version debate
Baker Book House 1979 0801024277 / 9780801024276 Paperback
[Number in stock: 3]
The King James Version is superior to all modern English translations of the Bible: so say many popularly written books and pamphlets.
The King James Version Debate is the first book-length refutation of this point of view written for both pastors and laymen. The author concisely explains the science of textual criticism since the main premise advanced by the KJV proponents is the superiority of the Greek text on which it is based.
After showing the problems with this premise, the author refutes the propositions that: (1) the KJB is the most accurate translation; (2) it is the most durable; (3) its use of the Old English forms (e.g., thou) makes it the most reverent; (4) it honours Christ more than do other versions; (5) it is the most easily memorized; and (6) it is most suitable for public reading.
Concluding the book is an appendix in which, on a more technical level, the author answers W. N. Pickering's The Identity of the New Testament Text, the most forbidable defense of the priority of the Byzantine text yet published in our day.
D. A. Carson, professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, holds the Ph.D. degree from Cambridge University. He is also a graduate of McGill University and Central Baptist Seminary (Toronto). He has authored The Sermon on the Mount: An Evangelical Exposition of Matthew 5-7/

CARSON D A Love in hard places
Crossway Books 2002 1581344252 / 9781581344257 Paperback
[Number in stock: 6]
Too often the Christian version of popular culture's sentimental view of love is that, of all things, Christians should be nice. After all, people ask, isn't the Church about forgiveness? Aren't Christians supposed to love others without condition?
This book not only focuses on the aspects of Christian love that are not easy--such as when it comes to loving our enemies, and even forgiving those loved ones who have hurt us--but also helps readers understand, then, what biblical love really is. As author D. A. Carson points out, thinking seriously about Christian love soon embroils us in reflection on justice, revenge, war, the authority of the state, forgiveness, hate, and much more. This book shows some of the important ways in which the love of Christians is a reflection of the love of God, and enables believers to develop an appropriate understanding of how to love in the hard places of life.
D. A. Carson is Research Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He has authored more than forty books, including the bestseller The Gagging of God and this book's predecessor, The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God.
