“Fresh and accessible contribution to biblical theology.” —Thomas R. Schreiner [Crossway] What Does It Mean to Be Blessed by God? As Christians, the term “blessing” has been so integrated into our everyday vocabulary that it is rarely considered carefully. Many people think that blessing is described as either physical (Genesis 1:22) or spiritual (Ephesians 1:3), but a fuller biblical-theological approach reveals that God’s blessing has always been physical, spiritual, and—ultimately—relational. Unpacking this pattern throughout redemptive history, Divine Blessing and the Fullness of Life in the Presence of God shows that divine blessing is not just a good gift here or there, but the fullness of all we were created to be, in relationship with our Creator. “Osborne brings clarity to this subject by providing an excellent overview of the biblical teaching on blessing.” —T.

Did You Know That Serpents Are a Theme throughout Scripture? Tracing the theme of serpents and dragons through both Testaments in The Serpent and the Serpent Slayer, trusted scholar Andrew David Naselli demonstrates that these stories reflect our desire to know the ultimate story—the struggle between God’s offspring and the offspring of the serpent. As we come to experience this captivating, unifying narrative, we will rejoice in the ultimate victory of Jesus—the serpent slayer—over the devouring dragon in Revelation. “In this enjoyable book there is considerable insight into Satan, the fall, Christ’s victory, and our future.” —Christopher W.
