A Little Book for New Bible Scholars
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Dodson and Richards have given young biblical scholars a book that charms while it instructs. Their combined years of wisdom are presented with whimsy and honesty that will be helpful in discernment for emerging biblical scholars. This book gets at not only the head knowledge, but also the heart. The interspersing of other biblical scholars throughout the book adds diversity, breadth, and weight to each chapter. As an advisor for students pursuing work in biblical scholarship as their vocation, this is precisely the kind of book I will gladly recommend to them!”

Lewis's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Carmen Imes plunges her reader deep into the world of the Old Testament (and the New). The journey will reshape what you know about God's name, Israel's law, and our identity as Christians who bear God's name.”

“Emerson and Smith provide a powerful reminder of why it is vital that we think in terms of the triune God––Father, Son, and Holy Spirit––acting in history. This book offers fresh eyes to see how all three persons of the Trinity act as one and offers hope for everything that our triune God wants to do in us and in the world.”

“Block’s Covenant guides readers through the cosmic story of God’s plan of redemption through the framework of covenant. Block charts the covenantal story, which begins in Genesis and comes to its dramatic climax as Jesus Christ appears in the New Testament, fulfilling the divine plan. It’s a journey that uncovers the heart of God in profound ways, draws the reader into Scripture’s great drama and God’s great mission, and culminates with the resounding sound of worship. An inspiring and valuable read!”

“Tremper Longman's How to Read Daniel is a fantastic read! He leads his reader thoughtfully through hungry lions, fiery furnaces, and monstrous beasts to show how Daniel reminds us that God is not only present but in control, even in the darkest places. This book provides a stirring reminder that God has the ultimate victory. He can care for us, even in toxic environments, and meets us in the midst of a troubled world as the ultimate victorious King.”
Children & Youth
“In this book of depth and whimsy, Jared Boyd inspires the imagination with new ways of engaging children in the work of the Spirit. I will be using this book for years to come, not only with the ministry leaders I teach, but with my own children! Jared's book speaks to a deep need felt within the church and within the lives of parents to help our children learn new and creative ways to engage with what the Holy Spirit is doing in their lives and in the world today. The result is a book thatis practical and reflective: a deep reflection on a way of approaching the inner spiritual life of children.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Combining humility and thoughtful reflection, M. B. Lang draws her readers into the harmful history that has arisen from a lack of listening to Native American voices alongside the profound beauty and depth when they are heard. Pointing to the social and theological significance of this listening, Lang shows the continuing value of responding to what we hear from Native American speakers and the potential for change.”

This in-depth exploration of the audience of God-fearers in Luke-Acts gives his readers a helpful introduction to social identity theory and narrative and intertextual aspects of Luke-Acts. Readers will find Fox’s work a deep and meaningful reflection on God’s desire for inclusivity of God-fearers in God’s kingdom.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Lord Roars offers a powerful call toward living a prophetically formed ethic grounded in the biblical prophets Amos, Isaiah, and Micah. This call is desperately needed in our fractured world. Carroll’s unique lens of poetics and literary imagination offers a new way to encounter the prophets. Readers are empowered not only to read and learn but to respond responsibly. This means critiquing the structures of human arrogance and injustice in economic and sociopolitical dimensions, identifying the way worship and social responsibility are intertwined, and finding hope in the ashes through the prophetic vision of plenty, justice, and peace. The roar of the Lord is a call we all need to hear and heed.”

Pastors, students, and scholars alike will find this book a joy to read and a source for messianic theology for years to come!”
