A Guide to Biblical Commentaries and Reference Works, 11th Edition

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“John F. Evans’ A Guide to Biblical Commentaries and Reference Works is an indispensable handbook for scholars, preachers, and serious students of the Bible.”

Biblical Theology, Volume 1

Theology

“This first volume of Niehaus’s Old Testament theology is a fresh and refreshing study of covenantal theology, which engages ancient near eastern parallels informatively and corroboratively. His interpretive work with the text hardly leaves a stone unturned, and he does theology with an awareness that this testament is only one of two. The reader will be challenged to re-think earlier paradigms as the covenants unfold with new insights into God’s master plan of grace.”

Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther

“Psalms, two volumes”

Imprecations in the Psalms

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“There are few ‘eureka’ moments in Psalms studies, but Steffen Jenkins has found one! The problem of retribution, especially the pesky imprecations (‘curses’), has been a sore spot in biblical theology for centuries. . . . Jenkins, powered by a canonical approach, argues that David, in book 5, . . . has become the master teacher of how to pray for Israel and the nations, both objects of Yahweh’s undeserved ‘steadfast love and plenteous redemption.’”

More Precious Than Gold

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Sam Storms lays the pieces of our contemporary world down on the template of the Psalms, and the result is what it has always been: the power of the Psalms to illumine, to interpret, and to direct our lives in the ways of the Lord. This book is a particularly insightful exposure of that power.”

Portraits of the Righteous in the Psalms

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Daniel Owens has given a forward thrust to the ethical study of the Psalter, which helps fill a lacuna in Psalms research, and currently joins a plethora of scholarly efforts to examine the Psalms for their ethical content. His careful and sensitive exegesis of Psalms 15, 24, 34, and 37 leads him to propose a form-critical shift from their traditional identification as entrance liturgies to character sketches, based upon the model of Deuteronomy 10:12-22, and designed to enable and encourage character formation.”

The Beginning and End of Wisdom

Christian Living

“I have long thought that the Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament is a good grid on which to introduce our unbelieving and troubled world to the gospel—it is so down-to-earth and practical. Douglas O’Donnell does this in an appealing way. His homiletical exercises in Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, conveyed in fresh, conversational prose, leads the preacher from the text to the pulpit to the pew. If a sermon is like a painting, it should always be like a Rembrandt with the famous beam of light that characterizes his portraits. O’Donnell’s model sermons glow with that beaming light of the gospel. And he helpfully instructs his readers in Chapter Seven: ‘How Shall Wisdom Be Preached?’ on the hermeneutical principles that can engage the text and enlighten the preacher for the awesome task of gospel proclamation, yes, even from the Wisdom Literature!”

The Divine Mandates

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Professor Inch undertakes an exposition of the four biblically-imposed divine mandates: labor, marriage, government, and the Church. These mandates form the essence of human endeavor as God has planned our life of grace, and Inch uses them to set the three divine endowments enunciated by the Declaration of Independence (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness), in sharp relief. The result is a penetrating analysis of contemporary American culture, augmented by details from his own life and the college classroom where he has himself lived out these divine mandates in stellar dimensions of grace. This is a book contemporary Christians will find informative and edifying.”

The Liberating Image

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“J. Richard Middleton examines an exegetically worn phrase, ‘the image of God,’ and gives it a theological freshness. His careful attention to the Genesis context as the decisive factor for understanding this intriguing concept is a good example of exegetical method.”
