Mark A. Jason offers a detailed investigation of the place of repentance in the Dead Sea Scrolls, addressing a significant lacuna in Qumran scholarship. Normally, when the belief system of the community is examined, "repentance" is usually taken for granted or relegated to a peripheral position. By careful attention to key texts, Jason establishes the importance of repentance as a fundamental way of structuring and describing religious experience within the Qumran community. Repentance was important not only for entry into the community and covenant but also for daily governance and cultic activities, and even for authenticating understanding of the end times. Jason shows, then, that repentance was a central and decisive element in shaping that community's identity and undergirded its religous experience from the start. Further, comparison with relevant texts from the Apocrypha and pseudepigrapha shows that the Qumran community represented a distinctive penitential movement in Second Temple Judaism.

For five decades prior to his death in 1993, Rabbi Joseph Dov Soloveitchik was the unchallenged leader of modern Orthodox Judaism in the United States. His understanding of both traditional Judaism and secular philosophy shaped two generations of rabbinic students at Yeshiva University, and charted a new course for American Orthodox Jews. In On Repentance, noted scholar Pinchas Peli has gathered the major points of Rabbi Soloveitchik's teachings on teshuvah (repentance), based on the annual series of lectures on the theme of teshuvah, presented on the anniversary of his father's death. For many Jews, these lectures were the major academic and intellectual event of the year. Outside of his followers however, few were able to experience the genius of Rabbi Soloveitchik. He gave his lectures in Yiddish, and generally refused to publish. Now readers can experience the brilliant thinking of this great teacher and sage.

C. John Miller looks at the painful but liberating, humbling but strengthening, consequences of repentance, which he sees as a process continuing throughout the life of the believer, the drawing near to God of the whole person.

A deadly lie has crept into Christianity, filling our churches with carnality and false converts. Preachers today redefine repentance as only a turn from unbelief and not a turn from sin. Removing God’s law and conviction of sin from the gospel call has made sinners secure while clutching to their daggers of sin and rebellion. Christ does not save sinners in their sin – only from it. Yet the lie of Easy Believism has rendered the gospel powerless to transform the believer. This groundbreaking treatise on the gospel proves from both history and the Bible that:·Repentance from sin is not works salvation·The law is perfect, converting the soul·Nearly every time the word is used in Scripture in the context of mankind, repentance means a turn from sin·Easy Believism is merely the resurrected lie of Antinomianism (lawlessness) refuted long ago by Martin Luther·The New Birth transforms sinners into saints, holy and pureINCLUDES: Introduction to the subject, 9 fact-filled chapters, 2 appendixes providing extensive research, Scripture index for easy reference, and thorough Notes & Bibliography sections to verify all documentation. A powerful reference tool in just under 250 pages.

Ed Anton's new book, Repentance, really gets to the heart of what repentance really is. The author is convinced that many want to live repentant lives, but not everyone understands how to do so. Giving in-depth biblical and historical background on this all-important topic, he helps the reader know how.

John Charles Ryle (May 10, 1816 - June 10, 1900) was an evangelical Anglican clergyman and first Bishop of Liverpool. He was renowned for his powerful preaching and extensive tracts. "Except you repent, you shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3 The text which heads this page, at first sight, looks stern and severe, "Except you repent, you shall all perish." I can fancy someone saying, "Is this the Gospel?" "Are these the glad tidings? Are these the good news of which ministers speak?" "This is a hard saying, who can hear it?" (John 6:60.) But from whose lips did these words come? They came from the lips of One who loves us with a love that passes knowledge, even Jesus Christ, the Son of God. They were spoken by One who so loved us that He left heaven for our sakes—came down to earth for our sakes—lived a poor, humble life, for three and thirty years on earth for our sakes—went to the cross for us, went to the grave for us, and died for our sins. The words that come from lips like these, must surely be words of love.
