The Cradle, the Cross, and the Crown guides serious New Testament students through the historical, literary, and theological dimensions of the biblical text, allowing them to better understand and share God’s “word of truth” (2 Tim 2:15). It offers a thorough introduction to all twenty-seven books of the New Testament and closely examines events such as Christ’s incarnation and virgin birth, his crucifixion and resurrection, and triumphant return. The second edition features updated bibliographies and footnotes, interpretation sections that cover different literary genres in the New Testament, an epilogue that canvasses the entire storyline of Scripture, and a variety of maps. All of these new features contribute to making this a life-long resource for students of Scripture.

Imagine you spent your whole life on this Earth just to reach your deathbed, never to have lived. We live in a world where most people don't have a concrete conviction of who they are and why they exist. Many of us see what's in the world and automatically align our identity with the trends. The more we discover about the world, the greater distance it seems to create between us and our true identity. If someone asks you, "Who are you?" would you be able to tell him or her without any doubt who you are without having to reference your career, the company you work for, your skills, circumstance, and experiences, etc.? All of those can change your status, but they can't change "who you truly are." This book should encourage you to pursue yourself, the crown that is hidden within you, rather than be enslaved by the uncertainty of the world; it will help you transform your mind to your true worth and value. You will discover that you are more than what you can ever imagine. You will inspire to affirm yourself with what is promised to you instead of what others think of you.

Crown corporations are widely regarded as a Canadian invention. Since 1841 they have been dexterously implemented and hotly debated as instruments of public policy. However the failures of a number of state-run enterprises in the twentieth century have led a majority of Canadians to conclude that government has no place in the boardrooms of the nation. Matthew Bellamy's comprehensive account of Polymer's rise and evolution contradicts this widely held position and brings to light the accomplishments of one of Canada's pioneering crown corporations.
