Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Brent Sandy wakes up readers to the fact that while reading seems natural to us, it was not natural to ancient people, people who first experienced the events of the Bible. With conversational prose arranged in digestible sections, Hear Ye the Word of the Lord offers a fresh approach to this vital aspect of ancient cultures, so that those who hear it walk away not only much better informed concerning orality, but also inspired to engage with Scripture more holistically, creatively, and therefore, more faithfully. Sandy's contribution will tune our ears to listen better to the One speaking to us through Scripture.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“With appropriate attention both to Hebrews’ historical situatedness and to its soaring theology, Doug Moo provides a clear and compelling reading of this unparalleled biblical book. Moo’s gift for organizing a complicated text shines forth in the many outlines and charts and the way he patiently walks through all the pieces of the argument allows readers to follow him or see the precise moment in which they might make a different decision. I look forward to putting this adept guide in the hands of many students.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Like having coffee with a wise and gracious friend, but also like contemplating well-crafted art, Households of Faith is both approachable and profound. Emily Hunter McGowin embodies her vocation as a pastor-theologian, and in this writing, the reader is invited behind the curtain into the nuts and bolts of her calling. She suffers neither foolishness nor pretense; she gifts her reader the respect of frank speech which makes you want to purge yourself of the false daydream into which you've been lulled concerning the purpose of families and press forward instead, into the coming kingdom. Neither does she guilt trip the reader. Her successes spark ideas; her failures remind you that you are not alone and that it is possible to grow in your apprenticeship of love. Her expertise and her passion shine through on each page, providing insightful life hacks, revelations for difficult theological conundrums, and the confidence that the triune God works graciously and mightily through families.”

“With a capacious structure that covers a plethora of fascinating and vital topics, Max Botner provides a fresh approach to New Testament introduction as well as hermeneutics. His hermeneutic of love is not saccharine, but probing. Because sections are brief and tools for engagement are frequent, How Then Shall We Read? allows educators and students to engage with the issues he presents from a wide range of perspectives. I look forward to putting this into the hands of my students to kick-start a conversation—where we might agree or disagree, but without question, where we will be excited and equipped to engage.”
Introducing the New Testament, 2nd ed.
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“From several luminaries of New Testament studies comes an updated version of a rich textbook that unveils the complicated and fascinating story of this collection. Enhanced by primary sources and visual aids, the book presents a compelling discussion of the content of each book as well as significant chapters that explain the context that created, sustained, and spread the New Testament. I would recommend this text to serious students to launch their study of the New Testament and sustain it for years to come.”
Christian Living
“Giving voice to the deep anxieties in our age made all the more pressing by those of us who confess Jesus as Lord over it all, Robert Snitko points readers toward an answer: the kingdom of God. With a conversational style, Snitko not only clearly lays out the scriptural vision but also plots a way forward for readers to participate in it. This is an inspiring book that equips readers to begin to live in light of God’s goodness and power.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“From the heart of a scholar who has lived in Hebrews and the heart of a pastor who has lived the ups and downs of life, Michael Kibbe, in Life in a Lifeless World, offers readers an in-depth look at Hebrews to answer the real questions of those who want to have faith in the midst of a broken world. I cannot wait to put this into the hands of those who are interested in studying Hebrews, and even more, those who need to encounter the life-giving heart of God.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“beginning exegetical theologians and capacious enough to invigorate mature practitioners of the craft, all readers will be revived to kneel at the feet of God’s voice in Scripture and become faithful respondents, “canonically aware and redemptively responsible.” This is a beautiful book that will become, I wager, a giant in the field because it so faithfully points to the light of Christ.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“It seemed highly unlikely to me that anyone could say anything fresh about 1 Timothy 2. Sandra Glahn has proven me wrong. With its close attention to material culture and biblical text, Glahn's evidence demands that we understand Artemis differently and therefore read this passage with fresh eyes. Immediately compelling through Glahn's honest personal narrative, Nobody's Mother kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't wait to see Glahn's conclusions. Now that I've read them, I know I'll be thinking about them, and changing how I teach this text, for a long time.”
Men
“Boldly vulnerable, Zachary Wagner gives voice to the brokenness of male sexuality within contemporary Christianity, and in so doing he points the way toward healing. Because he is dogmatic only about the goodness of the gospel, readers from a broad spectrum are invited to join him as he continues to process the complexity of these issues. As one who advocates for the value of women in the Christian story, I am thrilled to recommend this book as one that restores and cultivates the God-given value of men.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“From a richly diverse group of authors—not for the sake of performance but because this is how the transformative work of God always plays out—this volume seeks to carry forward the vast impact of Mark Labberton. Through the exegesis of the Scriptures, revelation of history, and thoughtful construction of theology, readers will hear their deepest questions articulated and be challenged and inspired to become part of the answers God is bringing about.”
Theology
“Beilby's scriptural and theological arguments are cogent, careful, and convincing. He does not claim too much for any of the passages but simply shows how those texts that might seem to close the door to Postmortem Opportunity, when considered fully and in context, do not. Beilby's book has convinced me of the plausibility of a Postmortem Opportunity for salvation for those who have not heard at all or have not heard well. Such a suggestion aligns with what I have found to be true of the character of God and enlivening for Christian mission and discipleship.”
Women
“Like holy water for a parched soul, Power Women refreshes with a clear articulation of what had remained at the level of unspoken thoughts or ephemeral conversations. With this volume, a diverse set of voices speaks to the heart of what all Christian academic mothers hold: a deep sense of vocational calling both inside and outside the home as well as significant challenges to the flourishing of both vocations. Contemplation, conversation, and even institutional change will be the fruits of these faithfully honest words of power.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Utilizing her trademark skills as an exegete and historian, Cohick’s clear prose and efficient comment make this commentary incredibly accessible and a delight to read. Even more, especially in the most complicated passages, Cohick’s exacting insights brought multiple moments of clarity and deeper appreciation for this magisterial epistle. I will return to her insights in my study and in my classroom many times over.”
Reading the Gospels as Christian Scripture
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This wide-ranging treatment of the Gospels does not suffer from bland generalities. Instead, Jipp both reiterates established teaching and offers fresh insights. An untrained reader acquires an introduction to the central issues and even complicated debates with a clear presentation of what really matters. The scholar is equipped with a pedagogical resource that makes connections to art, literature, and culture. Reading the Gospels as Christian Scripture comforts the common anxieties inherent in Gospels studies as well as sparks passion to read, understand, and live these texts. I look forward to sharing this in my parish and my classroom.”
Reading the Later New Testament as Christian Scripture
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Reading the Later New Testament as Christian Scripture addresses the dearth of material on these fascinating letters and orients students to the unique and influential contributions they make to Christian belief and practice. With attention to contemporary issues, maps, explanatory sidebars, and striking art, this book positions readers well to comprehend and experience the impact these texts make on their lives. I'm eager to recommend this work to those who already love these letters and also to those who don't, yet!”
Theology
“From the author who has revolutionized Hebrews’ studies, Rethinking the Atonement presents in one place many of David Moffitt’s exegetical arguments. Readers are challenged to recover a holistic affirmation of God’s work in Christ: incarnation, death, resurrection, ascension, and session. Moffitt has changed not only how I read Hebrews but how I conceive of my faith. I’m eager to put this volume into the hands of my students and parishioners.”
Christian Living
“Immediately convinced of the need for this book, readers become acquainted with the history of Trinity drift as well as the history of its antidote. Barrett’s style is both inviting and accessible, utilizing first-person narrative and cogent theological explanation to communicate communicate rigor and depth. He presents a biblically and historically thorough case for the simple triune God differentiated only by eternal generation and spiration. I will value this book as a scholarly dialogue partner and pedagogical teaching text, showing that if we fail to submit ourselves to the image of our gracious God consistent in text and tradition, we will have no foundation from which to think and live theologically in such a demanding time as this.”
