Abide and Go

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Having successfully demonstrated the value of exploring the relationship among theology, spiritual formation, and mission in Paul’s letters, Michael Gorman now fittingly turns to John. With his usual flair, Gorman provides a fresh and illuminating reading of how, in its own distinctive fashion, this Gospel too presents a spirituality of participation in both the divine life and the divine mission in the world. What is more, integral to this work is its reflection on how such a spirituality might be embodied in contemporary local communities.”

Colossians Remixed

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A gripping, powerful and penetrating interpretation of Colossians for the third millennium! Based on responsible scholarship, enlivened by a discerning imagination and fired by commitment to Paul's gospel, this reading of Colossians by Walsh and Keesmaat is an outstanding contribution to the church's task of conceiving Christ rather than global consumerism as sovereign in our world. At the same time, it is a provocative stimulus to the church's mission of living out that alternative sovereignty in a community of compassion resistant to the forces of coercion from within and without.”

The Gospel of John

Theology

“Ford gives a wonderful exhibition of theological interpretation of Scripture. Thoroughly conversant with exegetical and critical issues, his commentary focuses on the Gospel of John's major core themes of meaning, life, and love within the horizon of God and all reality. Ford's clear, direct, and impassioned style conveys excitement about this Gospel's potential for transformation of lives, managing to sustain the sense that in engaging with the evangelist's testimony readers are engaging with the presence of Christ through the Spirit. It is that rare sort of commentary that invites one to just keep reading.”

The New Perspective on Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“For those who want to know what all the fuss is about and whether and how it matters, this is just the book. Kent Yinger, while thoroughly conversant with the huge amount of discussion generated by the New Perspective on Paul, has the gift of making the key issues accessible to others. Here is a readable, succinct, clear, accurate, and fair-minded introduction to the ongoing debate. For both the academy and the church Yinger provides a much needed perspective on the New Perspective.”

The Vision of Ephesians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With his usual flair, and writing in an accessible teaching style, Tom Wright indicates how Ephesians, whether or not by Paul himself, sets Paul’s gospel in a universal context, relating it to God’s purposes for the church and the cosmos. While sounding some of the familiar, if controversial, emphases of Wright’s own theology, the enthusiastic section-by-section exposition enables readers to sense the worship and challenge evoked by the Christ-centered big picture of Ephesians.”

The result is a clear and accessible guide to how the Jewish Scriptures function in these stories. . . . In this excellent resource Moyise judiciously surveys and interacts with the main interpretive options, equipping students to make their own informed judgments.”
