Chinese edition of Encountering the Old Testament (Bill T. Arnold and Bryan E. Beyer) and Encountering the New Testament (Walter A. Elwell and Robert W. Yarbrough). Rich in background, it provides the sources, historical and geographical overview and principles of interpretation for the whole Bible, with an introduction to each of its major sections so that readers can readily grasp its structure and distinctive features. Each chapter offers an outline and summary, highlights key terms, and ends with study questions, notes and a bibliography for those who want to go deeper. Written from an evangelical standpoint as a textbook for seminary students, it is also a valuable reference for lay people who want to study the Bible seriously.
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones's lectures on preaching, given at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, in 1969 after thirty years at Westminster Chapel, London (published 1971): why preaching is the church's primary task, the preacher's call and preparation, the sermon, the congregation, and the power of the Spirit.
Lewis's 1960 book, grown from radio talks recorded in 1958: affection, friendship, eros and charity. Each natural love is a gift of God, yet turns destructive once made a god; only taken up into divine love does it become what it was meant to be.
Toward a Missional Church (2015) by Chinese New Testament scholar Che-Bin Tan: from the Gospels, Acts and Paul, mission not as one programme among many but as the church's very nature — applied to the realities of Chinese churches today.
J.I. Packer's Knowing God (1973), one of the best-loved theological books of the twentieth century: why knowing God matters most, a meditation on his attributes, and what it means that God is for us — theology that turns knowledge into worship.
