Marking God’s Word–Understanding Jesus
There is much confusion in and out of the church about Christianity—Jesus' life, Jesus' teachings, Jesus' death, and Jesus' resurrection.

These are the questions that have guided this commentary on Mark.

The True Mystery of The Mystical Presence
Think of this book as a contemporary edition of John Williamson Nevin’s book, The Mystical Presence—A Vindication of the Reformed or Calvinistic Doctrine of the Holy Eucharist (J.B. Lippencort & Co., 1846). It is not simply a reissue of an old book. Rather, it’s a sort of dynamic equivalence approach to editing in order to make it more available to contemporary people. I have simply tried to take Nevin’s work and make it my own, in the sense of comprehending its significance and application. In doing so, I have taken broad license to edit, interpret, clarify, and expand what I think Nevin was saying.

Peter’s Vision of The End
The end that Peter was talking about in Second Peter was the purpose of God for Jesus Christ. God was using Jesus Christ to bring the gospel of salvation to the Gentiles, to humanity, to the world. Consequently, Peter was not suggesting that God’s purpose was the destruction of the world. Rather, God was working to save the world. God’s message was and is a message of hope not hate, of love not loathes, of construction not destruction, of peace not war, and of suffering not fulfillment.
Peter’s Vision of Christ’s Purpose
This book understands Peter's first letter with the eyes of modern, post-resurrection faithfulness as if Peter were writing to us. And since he was writing to all the saints, he was. In these pages, we will see how Peter's vision of the progressive revelation of Christ in history fueled the scientific and technological revolutions that have already created a new world.

Practically Christian–Applying James Today
This book seeks to shine the light of Scripture into the darkened recesses of the contemporary church by shining the light of James into the hearts of its contemporary readers. This is an intensely personal work in the sense that it attempts to get at issues that few people (or preachers) are willing to talk about, but are essential for the gospel to take root in our lives.

Informal Christianity–Refining Christ’s Church
Informal Christianity explores the personal relationship with Jesus Christ that underpins true Christianity. It discusses personal discipleship, being born again, and living a regenerated life through the Holy Spirit. The book warns that without these internal realities, churches shift focus from core doctrines to administration and growth. Emphasizing the need for biblical doctrine and theology, it calls for a return to the heart of Christianity, fostering genuine spiritual life and maturity.
The Wisdom of Jesus Christ in Proverbs
This study on Proverbs reveals the biblical message of the Book of Proverbs verse by verse through the lens of Jesus Christ, offering a Christological perspective akin to a commentary. It acknowledges that, as Christians, we interpret Proverbs from the redemption side of the Cross, even though it was written by King Solomon on the anticipation side. The study emphasizes the eternal consistency of God, whose wisdom remains unchanged. The God of Solomon, the author and editor of Proverbs, is the same revealed in the New Testament—Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit. This work embraces this truth of faith, reading Proverbs in the light of Christ, affirming that God's wisdom is timeless and unchanging.
Varsy Arsy–Proclaiming the Gospel in Second Corinthians
Varsy Arsy, the second volume in Ross’s examination of Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, delves into the Corinthian church’s embrace of a false teaching rooted in Greek wisdom. This Gnostic spirituality, while bringing wealth and influence, was denounced by Paul as a façade. In contrast to the celebrated success of the Corinthians, Paul challenges them to return to genuine faithfulness, opposing the worldly wisdom of Greek culture with the true wisdom of Christ. What the Corinthians deemed wisdom, Paul boldly labels as foolishness.
Arsy Varsy: Reclaiming The Gospel In First Corinthians
In this insightful volume, Ross examines Paul's confrontation with the Corinthian church, which, despite its success and growth, had replaced the wisdom of Christ with Greek philosophy and cultural ideals. This study contrasts worldly wisdom—both ancient Greek and modern American—with the transformative gospel of Christ. Through a thorough and passionate analysis of 1 Corinthians, Ross reveals the shortcomings of secular thought and illuminates the profound truth of the gospel, exposing the folly of worldly wisdom and highlighting the clarity and power of Christ’s teachings.
