God, Gender, and Family Trauma

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a book that "says the quiet part out loud," courageously naming the sexual trauma that pervades the experiences of characters in the book of Genesis. It can be deeply disconcerting to read these texts through the lens of trauma, but Driver does not leave his readers to despair. Instead, he helps us to turn both the horror and the hope of these sacred stories toward the healing of wounds in our communities.”

Introducing the Old Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a textbook written by top-notch scholars who are also extraordinary teachers. Their love of Old Testament study and their commitment to student learning shine through in every chapter. With an affable voice, good humor, and rigorous scholarship, the book offers hospitality to all students, whether they come to the Old Testament classroom with enthusiasm, reluctance, or indifference. Jacobson and Chan approach their subject with joy and humility rather than dogmatism, always keeping the biblical text and its world at the center of their analysis. I can’t wait to use this book in my seminary courses!”
