Abraham Kuruvilla

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a fine work from an Old Testament scholar that straddles the boundary between exegesis and exposition. And for this rare species of writing I, speaking for myself and for the guild of preachers, am grateful. It is adequately sized for homileticians, sufficiently deep in its analysis, and thoughtfully considerate of sermonic issues. This tome promises to be one of the first I will pick off my shelves when I’m preaching Ezekiel.”

From Ancient Text to Valid Application

Preaching & Worship

“The results of Boyd’s attempt to delineate the effectiveness of preaching in a specific church situation by employing notions of pericopal theology and a christiconic hermeneutic resoundingly affirm the manifest value of such an approach to homiletics. An encouragement to all expositors, indeed!”

Preaching as the Word of God

Preaching & Worship

“Chan explores some new ground in the interface between Speech Act Theory and preaching. He demonstrates that the gospel is a divine speech act that is 're-locuted' and 're-illocuted' by a preacher who, commissioned by God, derives the message from Scripture, in line with the Christological goal of the divine author. Chan's lucid exposition is worthwhile reading for all interested in the hermeneutics of homiletics.”

Preaching with Cultural Intelligence

Church Leadership & Ministry

“As an ‘Other’ myself—in more ways than one—I found Kim’s book to have touched on an issue worth serious consideration by every preacher. This work will start us on the process of becoming more culturally intelligent, whether we are preaching in South Hamilton or South Korea, New York or New Delhi. And, as we engage with this book’s concepts, the Word of God will be better served to the community of God from our pulpits, molding a diversity of peoples into the unity of the image of Christ.”

Signs of the Messiah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Signs of the Messiah is a compelling journey through the Gospel of John, and Kostenberger, with his expertise on this remarkable text of Scripture, is amply qualified to be your tour guide. ... I especially appreciated the author's attention to how the narrative is constructed by the inspired writer. This book promises to be a substantial foundation for anyone planning to employ this Gospel in the ministry of the word.”

Trinitarian Interpretation in Light of the Identity of YHWH as the Triune God

Theology

“Alias Eldhose’s work furthers the understanding of Yahweh in the Old Testament, is a significant contribution to biblical and theological studies, and will continue to be an impetus for future research. Well-written, accessible, and comprehensive in its tackling of sources, Trinitarian Interpretation in Light of the Identity of YHWH as the Triune God is worth a careful perusal for every student of Scripture and of theology. This focus on a faithfully trinitarian—and thus truly theological—interpretation of Scripture is timely.”

Women in the Gospel of Mark

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Malick has done the church a service with his incisive and cogent analysis of the ‘Marked’ women, while also providing readers with a substantial discussion of related and ancillary issues. This work will, no doubt, enable students and preachers of the second Gospel to proclaim its truths more accurately, finessing the lineaments of the feminine characters who are painted by the evangelist in a marvelously lapidary fashion.”
