When writing to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul used figurative temple language repeatedly to shape the identity of his audience ("Temple of God," "Temple of the Holy Spirit," and "Temple of the Living God"). While other scholars have identified the place of the Jerusalem temple in Paul's thinking or the impact of temples in the life of Corinth, there has been no comprehensive study of the way that figurative temple language in philosophy could have influenced the Corinthians' worldview. Hellenistic philosophy was pervasive in the first century and provided theological guidance for faith and practice to Paul's Gentile audience before their conversion. Philip N. Richardson provides a comprehensive survey of figurative temple language in Hellenistic philosophy, shedding light on the way that the kinds of philosophical thought known in cities like Corinth may have influenced the Corinthians to think about figurative temple language. This study throws into sharp relief the similarities and differences between Paul's use of temple language and that of philosophy, and illuminates Paul's setting of this language in the wider framework of 1-2 Corinthians and his purpose for its use in the argument of the letters.

You are uniquely and wonderfully created as an individual. Do you ever think about how you allow yourself to feel and think daily and how the decisions you make as a result constantly influence how you 'get presented to God'? The inward shines through and affects the outward. Your behaviors are as a result of decisions you make every minute of each day. What is informing and controlling these decisions that culminate into who you are becoming and the 'You' that is being presented to God? He asks you to be a living sacrifice, Holy and acceptable to Him. How does this happen? Marguerite Okpoti Join me in this book to explore some simple and foundational ways of improving and maintaining your health and well-being on your journey in life through a holistic approach which draws from biblical principles and physical activity. This book also focuses on encouraging you to be thoroughly equipped to understand God's will for you as His temple and what is required to solidify and maintain the innate structures of this uniquely created and designed temple in fulfilling God's plan for you throughout this journey. Joseph Okpoti 'This book not only allows readers to reflect upon the ways in which the underpinning principles of the Christian faith might challenge the values and practices of modern-day life, but also how, as individuals, we see and value ourselves in relation to our own health and wellbeing. I believe that, it is by way of such reflection that our understandings of the Bible can deepen and that our desire for on-going personal development in this area will be stimulated and encouraged. Needless to say, I trust that this book will be both a stimulus and an encouragement to all who take the time to thoughtfully consider its contents'.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS Shares the author's personal testimony and spiritual journey with speaking in tongues Examines the history of this gift in the church for the past two thousand years Interacts with those who have denied that this gift is valid for today's church Speaks to the relationship between Spirit baptism, Spirit filling, and the gift of tongues Few other issues have separated the church more than the issue of tongues. Sam Storms focuses on this controversial subject with his signature insights to theology and the gifts of the spirit. What does the gift giver say about the gift He gave? Storms seeks to bring balance to this subject in The Language of Heaven as he wrestles with this sensitive issue experientially as well as theologically. He ultimately provides a platform to allow God to speak for Himself as he addresses every text of Scripture on the subject and engages with every theological issue that speaking in tongues provokes. As a pastor, Storms knows the questions that the typical churchgoer is asking and provides clear and accessible answers to them all, including: Is the gift of tongues for every Christian or only some? How does the gift of tongues operate in the life of the believer individually in private practice? How does the gift of tongues operate in the corporate assembly of God's church? How is the Christian edified and strengthened by praying in tongues? How do I pray for the gift and prepare my heart to receive it? You can overcome the arguments, fears, and anxieties related to this spiritual gift. Remember, God gives only good gifts, and it is His intention that His church utilize all that He has provided so that we might experience all that He is.

Believers know that when we die we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing there? Won't it get boring at some point? According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God's glory. Not just his glory in the moment, but during all of time. The mysteries of providence, the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God's people will be unveiled so that we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be learning more about God's glory, inspiring us to return joyful praise and thanksgiving. If your vision of heaven has been limited to clouds and harps and angels, it's time to expand that view with the truth found in this biblically based look at the afterlife.
