A Ransom for Many

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Lee and Brueske mine the riches of God's word by considering the inner-biblical connections and significance of the so-called ‘ransom statement’ of Mark 10:45. The authors help readers appreciate the importance of Jesus’s death in Mark, and the integrated structure of the Gospel.”

An Introduction to the Gospels and Acts

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The authors' stated aim is to fill a gap in current literature by providing a concise, single-volume introduction for students, pastors, and teachers that covers both the Gospels and Acts. . . This concise and affordable introduction succeeds handsomely in what it sets out to accomplish.”

As It Is Written and Intended

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book will help you see how all of Scripture coheres in Christ, and what that means for your life.”

Bible Crawling

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Olan Stubbs encourages us to slow down and let the riches of God’s word sink deep into our hearts. This book shows practically and simply how we can pray through the Psalms, while not losing sight of our Savior. We’re never too young or old to crawl through the Scriptures.”

From the Manger to the Throne

Theology

“Open up Luke anew with the help of this fresh and faithful tour from a knowledgeable guide. Adam, the exodus, the wilderness, angels and demons, the Son of Man—it’s all there in the Gospel of Luke. Gladd considers these, and more, to help us see the rich Old Testament contours of our great Savior and his great work on our behalf.”

Letters for the Church

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Darian Lockett knows the books of James through Jude well, having written about them extensively. This helpful primer on the Catholic Epistles, which takes a canonical-collection approach, will help readers think carefully about the meaning of these letters and their relevance for today. Here also is a reminder why we need all of Scripture.”

Reading the Word of God in the Presence of God

Theology

“Vern Poythress has done readers a great service by providing an easy to understand guide to the complexities of biblical interpretation. Readers will benefit from his knowledge of the way language works, his emphasis on the divine inspiration of Scripture, and the ways in which every passage relates to God’s unfolding plan of redemption. Here is a trustworthy and practical guide for anyone interested in reading the Bible faithfully.”

The Lord's Prayer

Christian Living

“The Lord’s Prayer is familiar to many of us, but how well do we really understand each phrase? Scholarly works on the Lord’s Prayer can turn out to be surprisingly complex. Here is a clear, grace-filled, practical exposition that will benefit readers of all levels. DeYoung helps readers see the place of the Lord’s Prayer in the context of all of Scripture and how it relates to Christ himself.”

The Nicene Creed

Christian Living

“All Christians need creeds, and the Nicene Creed is for all Christians. Well-informed, persuasive, and clear without being simplistic, this book sketches what we believe and why it’s important. It will benefit a wide range of readers.”

The Sabbath as Rest and Hope for the People of God

Christian Living

“How and whether we are to observe the Sabbath commandment today has proven to be a tricky question. Waters helps us navigate this complexity with nuanced simplicity. He explains the role of Sabbath in creation and redemption, covering key texts from the Old and New Testaments. He covers tricky issues, like the way Jesus related to the Sabbath and why the Sabbath is now celebrated on Sunday. Waters also shows the ongoing relevance of the Sabbath and provides practical suggestions for observing the Sabbath today. This short book is long on helpful insights: it will show you why the Sabbath is good news, how it relates to Jesus himself, and why it is important that we continue to observe it today.”

The Septuagint

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Interested in the Septuagint? Start here. This accessible introduction carefully navigates the what and the so what of the Septuagint, charting a steady course through a quagmire of complex issues. Tricky matters are treated with scholarly precision and theological sensitivity, and readers will find a corrective both to an overemphasis and to an underemphasis on the Septuagint. This book will be useful to the beginning student, the graduate student, the pastor, and anyone interested in learning more about how we got the Bible.”

Those Who Weep Shall Laugh

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Hong has identified an important but often overlooked Lukan theme—the reversal of weeping. He provides sustained discussions of key texts, and helps the reader consider in fresh ways the nature of the kingdom of God in Luke, along with its implications today.”

Turning the World Upside Down
