Books by Thomas Jackson

From the very first pages of Chapter One, you will notice that Dr. Jackson's writing is accessible. Most of us, as bible students seek out commentaries to provide us with clarity on just what the Scriptures are saying to us. It is important to remember that we are separated from both the writer and the initial audience by thousands of years, thousands of miles and cultural differences that are unquantifiable. Dr. Jackson applies his scholarship as a bridge over that which separates us, to the original author and his intended meaning. As early readers would have well understood colloquialisms, turns of phrases and examples, contemporary ones are used here to help us get the same message. This style of writing brings the word of God right to where it can be reached and understood.

Low Motives in High Places is written to educate and expose congregations to the mounting epidemic of clergy abuse and provide for them a model of restoration for the minister who becomes guilty of this hidden crime that produces secret pain and public shame.Above all, Low Motives in High Places is written to the victim of abuse to convey to them that there is, in the body of Christ those who have a listening ear, a heart of compassion, a desire to help understand and communicate their pain in a way that will bring justice and accountability to their abusers.
