Communal Reading in the Time of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Ever since the publication in the 1960’s of Gerhardsson’s ground-breaking work, Memory and Manuscript with Tradition and Transmission in Early Christianity, there have not been significant advances in this highly important area of study until this highly important work of Dr. Brian Wright. He has demonstrated for the first time the importance of communal reading in the Greco-Roman world during the first-century A.D. and its relevance for the reading of the New Testament corpus for the first Christians.”

Secular and Christian Leadership in Corinth

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Andrew Clarke's ground--breaking work is a lasting contribution to our understanding of Corinthian Christianity. It is based on the extant official inscriptions from this Roman Colony that record the multiple public offices held by 160 of its citizens. From these he profiles the nature of secular leadership that was to profoundly influence the first Christians. They cast their understanding of Christian ministry into this mold which resulted in competition that has threatened the well being of this nascent community. This work rightly established his reputation as a leading New Testament Scholar and this updated edition, which brings the discussion up to date, is to be warmly welcomed.”

The Righteous Judgment of God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The book addresses the serious imbalance in much Christian teaching, preaching, and witness on judgment and salvation. Coulson's pauses for thought throughout this book are always helpful challenges. I know of no other work in this area that has produced such an easy read and enormous turnaround for our day and generation.”
