Outraged at his arrogance, Amelia vows never to speak to him again, which proves a more difficult feat than she anticipated. As Amelia attracts the attention of other wealthy gentlemen, Jeremy feels compelled to warn her away from certain suitors, a goodwill gesture that she does not appreciate.

15 New Testament Words of Life: A New Testament Theology for Real Life

"Biblical scholar Nijay Gupta explores in-depth some of the most important New Testament words, including: Righteousness, Grace, Fellowship, Holiness, Witness, and Love. These are familiar terms in the Christian vocabulary, but many of us don't know their original background and theological importance and how they can be life-giving for Christian faith and life today. To access the deep meaning of these words in the theological vocabulary of the New Testament writers, Gupta discusses each word within a key text and interprets it in three contexts: - Canonical-how the New Testament is grounded in the Old - Literary-the meaning developed within the key text - Historical-the Jewish and Greco-Roman world of the first century With Gupta's skilled guidance, readers will find their engagement with the New Testament revitalized as they begin to understand how these inspiring ancient words can still be captivating, thought-provoking, and worldview-shaping words for real life today. 'While the New Testament is full of depth and complexity, its most important ideas have a profound simplicity to them. In this collection of word studies, Nijay Gupta explores foundational themes in New Testament theology, but in a very accessible way. If you're looking to deepen your understanding of some of the most essential concepts in Christian belief, this book is for you!' -TIM MACKIE, cofounder of the Bible Project 'Nijay Gupta has provided the church and its pastors with a remarkable resource. Wearing his deep learning lightly, he winsomely portrays how the New Testament writers draw on the Old Testament to theologize in ways that are immensely hopeful and intensely practical. A book like this is just what the church needs today-a rich biblical theology that speaks words of life to the lives of the people of God in our increasingly fraught and complex world.' -DERWIN L. GRAY, Cofounder and lead pastor of Transformation Church, author of How to Heal Our Racial Divide Bible references, suggested reading, and a bibliography are included in the audiobook companion PDF download."
