Every Promise Fulfilled

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Hawk's volume, which focuses exclusively on Joshua, presents an extensive interpretation of the book as a unified piece whose writer understood literary artistry and composed a carefully structured whole. Hawk's well-written study effectively challenges prior assumptions about the disjointed character of the book of Joshua… He has made a good case for viewing the book of Joshua as a coherent literary work whose stories can, when sensitively read, be seen to coalesce into a viable literary piece… this is a fine, effectively written study, which opens new avenues for understanding the book of Joshua.”

Psalm 29 through Time and Tradition

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book provides a fascinating sample of the insights to be gained through the application of reception history to a specific biblical text . . . The span of the articles is encompassing, treating interpretation of Psalm 29 by early and medieval rabbis, the church fathers and medieval Christianity, Syrian Christianity, Luther, Calvin, and indigenous churches in Nigeria . . . Overall, this is an impressive and engaging collection of essays, well-rounded and informative to both scholars and lay readers.”
