Christ Jesus, the True Israel

Theology

“Briefly summarized, Brent Parker presents a solid biblical-theological argument in Christ Jesus, the True Israel, demonstrating that throughout the Old Testament, Israel’s prophetic-typological role foreshadows the promised Messiah, the True Israelite, the promised Seed of Abraham, in whom all God’s covenant promises converge establishing the new covenant people of God, the church. Preaching and teaching that addresses (1) the relationship between Israel and Christ’s church and (2) how biblical types function without consulting this book will be impoverished.”

God Is Impassible and Impassioned

Theology

“Whether God is subject to suffering is hardly a recent question, but it is an issue that contemporary Christians have been constrained to ponder carefully in order to provide scripturally measured and biblically tempered answers in a generation that prefers to conceive of and worship a God forged after human likeness. Despite the profundity of this issue and the inherent difficulty of giving adequate expression to whether God is passible or impassible, Rob Lister provides accessibility and clarity to this issue in a scripturally governed, admirably balanced, and manifestly humble manner. He engages theologians ancient and modern as his theological conversation partners while he guides readers through the many pitfalls and hazards that threaten to entangle us primarily in two antithetical but equally defective views of God: either to cast him in our image and likeness or to project onto him an aloofness that renders him cold, even grotesque. Lister rightly insists that in order to provide biblically rooted answers to the questions he addresses it is crucial to acknowledge and embrace the chasm that distinguishes the Creator from his creatures. Yet, equally crucial is the fact that the Creator made humanity, the creature, in his image and after his likeness, for this is God’s revelatory nexus by which God makes himself known to us both as impassible and as impassioned.”

Questions and Rhetoric in the Greek New Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Just as questions bear significant rhetorical import within our conventional discourses, they play crucial roles within written texts. While Christian preachers and teachers may have learned well how to do exegesis of declarative statements, the rhetorical and semantic implications of questions have often eluded them, with detriment to their teaching and preaching. A conspicuous vacancy in exegetical studies is filled with Questions and Rhetoric in the Greek New Testament, a thorough, even if not exhaustive, exegetical guide concerning the rhetoric and semantics of questions in the Greek New Testament.”

The Person of Christ

Theology

“Stephen Wellum has proved himself to be a trusted guide through the lurking dangers that scatter the theological landscape. This volume is concise and accessible, written for folks who desire to engage theological depth without being overwhelmed. It will serve well students who desire serious consideration of the second person of the Trinity, our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Vessels of Wrath, Volume 1

Theology

“The magnitude and depth of Richard Blaylock’s exegetical-theological research, thinking, and argumentation is evident and persuasive. He leaves no biblical text untouched that speaks to God’s reprobating activity in both the Old and New Testaments. He carefully demonstrates wherein the biblical texts uphold God’s reprobating activity retributively and non-retributively. Blaylock states well his thesis and does likewise for the objectives of each chapter in both volumes.”

Vessels of Wrath, Volume 2

Theology

“The magnitude and depth of Richard Blaylock’s exegetical-theological research, thinking, and argumentation is evident and persuasive. He leaves no biblical text untouched that speaks to God’s reprobating activity in both the Old and New Testaments. He carefully demonstrates wherein the biblical texts uphold God’s reprobating activity retributively and non-retributively.
