1 Corinthians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Once again, Michael Gorman has gifted pastors and teachers with an accessible commentary that takes seriously scripture being ‘written for our sake.’ This is a deft guide through a theologically rich letter. The commentary will serve well all who long to live out the teachings of this sacred text.”

How to Read Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this handy guidebook, Kim writes with passion and clarity about Paul's 'God-centered, Christ-exemplified, and Christian-imitated' gospel. A seasoned teacher, Kim expands the theological conversation surrounding Paul's letters while guiding students deftly and thoughtfully through a survey of the Pauline correspondence.”

Resurrecting Justice

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Paul's letters are often ignored in calls for justice. All who do not naturally gravitate toward the apostle as a champion of justice will be challenged to rethink Paul's gospel as the power of God's justice to rectify the whole world. Harink's rereading of Romans is a welcome, timely, and accessible study for the classroom and the church.”

Rooted and Renewing

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A biblical scholar and experienced pastor, Troy M. Troftgruben makes the struggles, challenges, and vision of the New Testament church come alive for a twenty-first-century church that has much to learn from its earliest heritage. This is a welcome study--substantive, contemplative, and timely.”

Spirituality According to John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“What might we gain by taking seriously the witness of all the Johannine literature—the Gospel, the epistles, and the Apocalypse? We gain a witness incapable of being bound by one genre. We receive symbols, metaphors, imagery, and stories that point beyond the text to a living Word that still inspires, still amazes, and still beckons us to follow. In this volume, Rodney Reeves captures our imaginations by pointing to the myriad of ways the Johannine literature invites us to rethink all we thought we knew about God and God's work in the world. 'Come and see.'”
