The New Testament in Antiquity, 2nd Edition

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I’ve assigned The New Testament in Antiquity for years, with appreciation for the wealth of information the first edition offered students: photographs to help them visualize life in the New Testament world; sidebars with information on social, historical, and cultural backgrounds; quotations from primary sources; maps and charts galore. The new edition keeps these distinctives, but the revisions to the layout, organization, and the text itself make the volume even more accessible to students—including those with little preparation for the study of the New Testament. This comprehensive, comprehensible introduction is a valuable asset for the classroom.”

Unexpected Jesus

Theology

“In a world overpopulated by studies that claim to explain the historical Jesus, Craig Hovey reminds readers of the surprise of Jesus in the gospel, in the story of the church, and in the lives of Christians today. Through flowing prose and pithy observations, Hovey challenges the church to take up the difficult task of living out the truly surprising life of Jesus.”
