Divorce and the Christ Community:
A New Portrait
2004

Download Only

So many books are written to “move” us and make us “soar”. This isn’t one of them. So many books are a rehash of what went before. . . . Collier’s book is no rehash of anything I’ve read.
Jim McGuiggan, Author (see full review)

"As I read the book I keep thinking,  'This book comes from the heart and not just the mind.'    It is so well researched over years of time and comes from a wealth of knowledge on the subject - but also comes from the heart of one who has seen the hurt and felt the hurt of divorce.  The scholarship is first rate here - but written in almost a story form at times.  Very readable for anyone.    I have read a dozen books or more on this subject through the years and I found this one to be the most helpful in my counseling and coaching families around the issue of divorce."

"Having a cup of coffee with the authors of the NT" is both an exciting and appealing way to conceive of what is a unique encounter with the text of the NT. Gary Collier, the moving force behind the program, is an extremely gifted Bible scholar and at the same time an especially exciting and effective teacher. Those who participate in this program will not only receive the very best instruction but will find practical resources for their spiritual life and their daily walk. I know of nothing comparable to this exciting innovative program and I am happy to recommend it with the highest enthusiasm.

Standing Under Scripture:
An Exercise in Contextual Hermeneutics
(with some thoughts on Women in Ministry)
2004  (Download Only)

"This little book is an exercise in contextual hermeneutics -- i.e., the reading of Scripture in the midst of life.  It looks at a general concern (how we read the Bible) in light of an actual, specific situation and series of events (a prolonged discussion about women in ministry at a particular church).  The book demonstrates that biblical hermeneutics is most meaningful and useful when it pays close attention to both ancient and current context." 

 -- from Chapter 1

The Forgotten Treasure:
Reading the Bible Like Jesus

1993  (Paperback)

This is a bold attempt to interpret Scripture as a believer and follower of Jesus and as one committed to Jesus' community of faith which is manifested historically in the Restoration tradition of Churches of Christ. Collier's very manner of presentation models what to me is a refreshing approach to biblical studies -- reading the canonical texts with one's own commitments to God and church always on the table."
Andre Resner, Restoration Quarterly
