Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The NIV Application Commentary series has been an essential resource for a generation of pastors and laypeople seeking a deeper understanding of the biblical text and its relevance today. The series features careful exposition of the text by some of the most well-respected evangelical scholars alive today with an eye to contemporary relevance. I'm delighted to commend it to a new generation for personal and group Bible study, preaching, and classroom use.”

15 New Testament Words of Life
Theology
“Do you suspect there’s more to the Christian faith than what you’re hearing? Dr. Gupta brings the best of biblical scholarship to the pews, where standard Christian ways of talking about things have grown stale. By highlighting these fifteen key words, he opens a whole new world of understanding that will reinvigorate Christian practice. If you are hungry to move beyond clichés, this book is your invitation to a nourishing feast.”

Christian Living
“you do you” world paralyzed by relativism on the one hand and seduced by certainty on the other, the virtue of teachability is rare. Are we willing to admit that we have much to learn? A.J. Swoboda urges us to be willing to learn from experts, strangers, children, parents, the dead, enemies, and the wider culture. Our collective future depends on it.”
Theology
“Are church leaders supposed to exercise authority? Yes and no. Pairing methodological clarity with practical implications, McKirland disentangles various types of authority to discern how, when, and by whom the exercise of authority is legitimate according to the Scriptures. This book is a gift to the church today, offering a sure foundation for discussions of ministry roles and responsibilities that will move the tired conversation forward to ensure that our churches—and all their members—can flourish.”
A Woman's Place Is in the Story
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Preaching often centers the male experience—Bible stories about men, illustrations about men, practical applications for men. As a result, many women wonder whether they have a place in God's story. Sandra Glahn introduces us to many forgotten women who are central to the plot of the Bible and whose stories are essential reading if we want to understand God's purposes. She teaches us to read more carefully, to reconsider negative stereotypes, and to reenter God's story as full-fledged participants. A compelling book with a crucial message!”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Michelle Keener has given us all a gift to be treasured—whether we have experienced trauma or want to walk well with those who have. Comfort in the Ashes assists readers in understanding trauma and the healing process while offering a perceptive and illuminating reading of the book of Job. Reading Job through the lens of trauma recovery makes space for a healing encounter with God on the pages of Scripture. I'm personally grateful for the way this book taught and ministered to me, and I'm eager to share it with others!”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“At last, Block has written his magnum opus! With characteristic rigor and boldness, Block sweeps aside false dichotomies and stale debates to invite fresh reflection on the ‘one continuous story of divine redemption.’ His book does a tremendous service to Christians struggling to see continuity between the Testaments. Students and scholars alike will appreciate his exegetical insight and synthesis of the Bible’s teaching on covenant.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“‘Use it or lose it!’ they say of biblical languages. This attractive and practical volume offers a simple way to keep exercising your language muscles. Texts are thoughtfully selected and attractively laid out so that your knowledge of one biblical language can aid your recall of another, whether Hebrew, Greek, or Latin. Best of all, these texts illuminate intertextual connections, making them ideal for devotional reflection and prayerful response.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Many thought leaders today both inside and outside the church are concerned about the global rise of Christian nationalism. What I love about Caleb Campbell's approach is that he recognizes Christian nationalists as neighbors who need discipleship in the way of Jesus. Caleb has taken the time to understand the movement from the inside, and he offers practical ways to engage in substantive conversation without shutting people down. If you share our concern that Christian nationalism distorts biblical principles, then this book will show you what to do about it. It's not enough to disagree. We need to engage.”

“Matt Lynch is an able guide to these difficult Old Testament texts. He carefully unravels the caricatures of these texts to make way for a faithful alternative. Lynch weaves personal stories with close readings of biblical texts to offer fresh perspective. I heartily recommend his work!”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Mike Kibbe has a rare gift for being able to pass along not just the content of his expertise but the process that got him there. He shares his hard-earned wisdom for teaching well without losing your soul in the process. The result is a lively and engaging tutorial in the art of becoming a world-class professor. I couldn't put it down. Grab a copy for every recent PhD you know in Bible, theology, or related disciplines. They'll thank you!”
Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Reading the Bible is a cross-cultural experience. Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible makes the ancient context accessible and understandable, helping students and adult learners understand what they are reading and why it matters. My own students will benefit from the book’s clear organization and orientation to key aspects of culture on display in the Hebrew Bible. Backfish and Shafer-Elliott prove able guides to the ancient context and its implications for the Bible’s message. Bravo!”

“With exegetical care and pastoral sensibility, these articles are a fitting tribute to a man who has taught and shepherded students for thirty years. The contributors ably cover a wide range of texts in the Hebrew Bible, and their accessible insights will no doubt make their way into my classroom as I share them with students. Bravo to everyone involved, especially the honoree!”
How to Study the Bible's Use of the Bible
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Can a textbook also advance scholarship? This one does. Schnittjer and Harmon take the exploration of Scripture’s use of Scripture to the next level by identifying weak areas and problematic approaches in previous scholarship, especially the widespread neglect of the Old Testament’s use of the Old Testament. I expect to return to this volume again and again. It’s methodologically rigorous, with clear examples in every chapter. The book will benefit advanced students who are ready to build on the basic foundation of their Hermeneutics 101 as well as career scholars who want to keep growing.”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The church today urgently needs to be discipled by the Scripture's vision for justice. Michael Rhodes illuminates passages across the Old and New Testaments to show how the call to justice is central to God's vision for the community of faith. It will challenge pastors, seminary students, and many others to discover a costly but rewarding vocation.”
