Ephesians Verse by Verse

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Dr. Grant R. Osborne is well-known to have invested his entire life in the study and explication of the New Testament. His many writings reflect the detailed breadth and depth of his involvement with the text, but in this series, he seeks to complement much of his other work by removing the complexity of many modern commentaries. Here, he provides an easy-to-read explanation of Ephesians and applies its teachings to our lives today. Anyone interested in the mission and writings of the Apostle Paul will find this work to be personally enriching and refreshing indeed.”

The Roads and Highways of Ancient Israel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Anyone familiar with transportation and communications systems in the ancient Near Eastern world is well-aware of the groundbreaking work of David A. Dorsey, The Roads and Highways of Ancient Israel. This work represents original first-hand research; it is the product of years spent across a wide sweep of Israel actively engaged in on-site and regional research, including working with the vestige of archaeological remains, local topography, and giving consideration to literary sources, both biblical and secular. In simplest terms, this volume as well as any shows us how a biblical character may have gotten from point A to point B in a given biblical episode. In unprecedented ways, this work seeks rather comprehensively to describe and to delineate roads in Israel during the Iron Age, a period of history that has become very much at the center of today’s biblical scholarship. I congratulate Wipf & Stock for its farsighted wisdom in bringing this necessary, valuable and widely-applicable biblical resource back into print.”
