subtle in interpretation, is ever-present, but so is the danger of “underreading.” V.

"Step inside the wardrobe. . . . You may be surprised at what you find. In C. S. Lewis's classic, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Lucy, Peter, Susan and Edmund discover Narnia for the first time, precariously navigating their way through the unpredictable, enchanted world where beavers talk, a Witch turns people to stone, and a Lion rules as King. For decades their adventure has captivated the imagination of both children and adu ..."
"Leland Ryken, Tremper Longman III ... Further, careful literary analysis enables
us to see unity in texts where previous scholars saw only the results of ancient
editors' vain attempts to bring together disparate tribal traditions. ... Rather than
viewing this passage as an instance of two traditions, tribes and elders, ineptly
spliced together by an editor, Alter offers it as a paradigm of the biblical literary
stratagem now known ..."

"f the many Bible translations available today, are some better than others? If so,
what criteria can we use to determine what makes a good translation? Leland
Ryken introduces readers to the central issues in this debate and presents
several reasons why essentially literal—word-for-word—translations are superior
to dynamic equivalent—thought-for-thought—translations. You don't have to be a
Bible scholar to recognize the need for a ..."

So begins C. S. Lewis's Prince Caspian and the children's second remarkable escapade into Narnia--a Narnia known but unknown, looking much different than it did in their first adventure. C. S.

story of Old Narnia, the country of Aslan. As the story unfolds, the faith of various
characters in the myth of Old Narnia is proven and validated. Of course this
paradigm is an analogy to the Chri ..."

"Randall Gruendyke, longtime friend and former associate of Kent's at College
Church, has done a great service in putting Kent's story down on paper. Such an
exercise, however, serves more than the public record; it provides us with a living
example of faithfulness to one's calling and faithfulness to one's Lord. We all

inspiring portrait of how the Pauline parad ..."
"It is a reader's Bible by virtue of dividing the Bible into units of a size that lends
itself to daily reading or weekly group Bible study. The commentary and tips for
reading appear at the head of passages instead of in footnotes. These leadins,
moreover, move readers into the text that follows, instead of being a distraction
from the text. The introductions to the books of the Bible provide a roadmap that
points out what a reader ..."
