Haggai & Friends: 66 Perspectives on Stewardship

By Pat McLaughlin

Stewardship is everything you do after you say, "I believe."  So how do you then live your life of stewardship?  From beginning to end, the Bible provides a world class study about stewardship.  And surprisingly, it is the short and often overlooked Old Testament book of haggai tha is a centerpiece of the study.  This "minor" prophet addressed every segment of society and culture, challenging the Jewish population of 522BC Judah and Jerusalem to become obedient managers of God's resources and tangible blessings.  Remarkably, the words, perspectives and principles apply just as well to those of us living in the 21st century western world.

This new book by Patrick McLaughlin, who has 30 years of both "hands-on" professional and practical teaching experience on the subject of biblical stewardship, is a teaching, preaching and discussion guide for discovering God's principles for giving.  You can not help but be challanged by what Haggai and the authors of the other 65 books of the Bible have to say about becoming wise and generous stewards.

The Authentic Gospels DVD

Tyndale House, Cambridge

This DVD contains a series of three full-length lectures and three shorter study sessions, accompanied by a booklet with study guides to accompany the sessions, making it ideal for use in small groups. Each of the sessions considers some of the common questions raised about the origins of Christianity, the reliability of the New Testament and the non-canonical gospels. The aim of the DVD is to give Christians confidence inthe canonical gospels and to equip them to answer the questions of their non-Christian friends.

The three study sessions address

(i) the evidence of eyewitnesses

(ii) the evidence of the manuscripts

(iii) the evidence from history

The study videos are about 10 minutes long, so they can be watched at the beginning of a small group session and prompt discussion, guided by the questions in the accompanying booklet. The lectures which are included on the DVD address the same issues in far greater detail, providing supporting statistics and evidence. These are suitable for small group leaders to watch in preparation, or for anyone wanting to study the issues in more depth.

The lectures and study sessions are presented by:

Dr Peter Williams, Warden of Tyndale House

Dr Dirk Jonkind, Senior Research Fellow at Tyndale House

Bible & Church Conference DVD

Tyndale House, Cambridge

Society is being bombarded with misinformation about the Bible. It has allegedly been corrupted by power-hungry Christians who are charged with having omitted books and material they did not like. They changed the original message of Jesus.

When these wide-spread claims are made in the media, many Christians don't know how to respond or defend the trustworthiness of the New Testament that they believe in. Some end up having their faith shaken as a result.

The Bible and Church Conference was organized to provide Christians with reliable scholarly evidence in support of the historical basis of the faith and to then equip them to share that faith with confidence. It brought together biblical scholars who successfully challenged the false claims made by critics about the scriptures and who brought evidence to the table to show how and why the New Testiment can indeed be trusted.

The conference was held at Westminster Chapel in London on June 20, 2009. Presenters included Dr. Peter (P.J.) Williams (Warden of Tyndale House and former Senior Lecturer in New Testament and Deputy-Head of Aberdeen University's School of Divinity, History and Philosophy), Dr. Dirk Jongkind (Research Fellow at Tyndale House and Laing Fellow at St. Edmund's College, Cambridge) and Dr. Simon Gathercole (author, editor and lecturer in New Testament at Cambridge University and Fellow of Fitzwilliam College).

The conference was sponsored by Tyndale House, which is a residential center for biblical research located in Cambridge, England. For more information about Tyndale House, click here to visit their website. Playing time for this DVD is approximately 138 minutes.
