Author Interview with Baruch Maoz

Posted on by Kim

Get to know Baruch Maoz, author of Come, Let Us Reason Together: The Unity of Jews and Gentiles in the Church by reading his interview.

  • Question #1 – Tell us a little bit about yourself: where you’re from, family, job, personal interests, unique hobbies, what do you do in your spare time, etc.

I am an Israeli Jewish Christian and a retired pastor. I was converted in Israel in 1963 during the course of my mandatory military service. I retired from the pastorate after serving for some 33 years in a church in the country and am involved in writing Christian literature in Hebrew, translating the New Testament into modern Hebrew and the promotion of biblical and theological thinking in my country. My wife and I have been married for 45 years. We have three marries daughters and two foster daughters, one of whom is married and the other now getting ready for her wedding. My hobby is reading, just about anything, but particularly history.

 

  • Question #2 – What inspired you to write this book, about this topic?

Most of my writing is exegetical and expositional, but I wrote Come, Let Us Reason Together because I was disturbed by the eclipse of a Christ-focused faith and the resultant erosion of confidence in the finished and sufficient work of Christ, inadvertently promoted by the Messianic Movement. I share what I believe to be Paul’s concerns and motivations, expressed repeatedly in his letters, particularly to the Galatians and the Colossians.

 

  • Question #3 – Do you have a favorite author? Who is it and why?

My favorite author is John Calvin because he is so clearly devoted to the word of God rather than to a theological system. I believe that is the right priority. In addition, Calvin is so warmly pastoral, and I believe the Bible should be read in order to live, not merely to understanding.

New Paperback Edition – From Age to Age by Keith Mathison

Posted on by Kim

We have just released the new edition of From Age to Age by Keith Mathison. This is now a paperback book which allowed us to lower the list price by 25% – which lowered the price from $39.99 down to $29.99.

From Age to Age: The Unfolding of Biblical Eschatology by Keith Mathison

Pages: 832 | Paperback | List Price: $29.99

Summary: Readers will only understand a book’s final chapter if they have understood all that came before it. Likewise, “in order to understand biblical eschatology,” writes Keith Mathison, “we must understand the entire Bible.”

From Age to Age looks not only at the fulfillment of God’s purposes at the end of history, but also at the stages along the way. The millennium and second coming of Christ are eschatologically important—but Christ’s first coming was the beginning of the end. Deftly working through each book of the Bible, Mathison traces God’s preparations throughout redemptive history, which have laid everything in place for the last day.

 

About the Author:

Keith A. Mathison (MA, Reformed Theological Seminary; PhD, Whitefield Theological Seminary) is dean of the Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies and an associate editor of Tabletalk magazine at Ligonier Ministries. He is the author of numerous books. He is editor of When Shall These Things Be: A Reformed Response to Hyper-Preterism and associate editor of The Reformation Study Bible. He lives in Lake Mary, Florida, with his wife and children.
