Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This volume makes a textual, paratextual, and theological case that Jesus Christ is the center of the biblical canon. The unique contribution of this volume is the distinctive and detailed path that Bokedal takes to establish this important claim. With careful interdisciplinary attention to the shape and meaning of biblical texts, abbreviation patterns in early manuscripts, and theological implications for the rule of faith, Bokedal weaves together several lines of inquiry that are sometimes isolated in the study of the New Testament and early Christianity. There is much for the serious student of the biblical canon to consider in this interesting and instructive work.”
Children & Youth
“How do we help our children process the shock of tragic loss or the exhausting strain of chronic pain? When young voices need a response to their cries, we often grasp for words that seem just out of reach. He Always Hears is a special resource that gently answers the confusion of grief with the language of lament. Thoughtfully written and beautifully illustrated, this book offers a hopeful word for little hearts with big hurts.”
Theology
“With careful historical and theological precision, Jonathan Watson examines not only the presence of catechesis, baptism, and Communion in the life of the churches but also the relationship between them. Watson’s model for navigating this matrix of meaning and practice has considerable explanatory power for the study of historical theology and theological reflection on contemporary practice. For scholars and pastors, this volume would be an excellent initiation into this strategic area of ecclesiology. Warmly recommended!”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“With careful exegesis and a focused hermeneutical method, Rogers makes a substantive contribution to the study of Zechariah’s prophecy, John’s Gospel, and the Revelation. Focusing on the divine identity of the Messiah, Rogers delineates several cogent and compelling implications for a theology of the cross and the eschatological return of Jesus. This volume will help readers look upon the Pierced One themselves and respond with deeper textual understanding.”
Reading the Bible for a Change, Second Edition
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The second edition of this volume is an excellent entryway into the heart of the interpretive task. Like a seasoned sherpa, Ray Lubeck guides readers along the literary landscape of the biblical canon with careful attention to textual detail and instructive awareness of the Bible’s full scope. Warmly recommended!”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Most biblical readers value resources that help them understand the Scriptures but often take for granted the various interpretive aids that are already embedded in the Bibles they are reading. In this volume, Goswell explains the meaning and function of paratextual features such as the ordering of books in canonical collections, the titles given to individual works, and the subtle ways manuscripts and print editions mark and divide sections within biblical texts. Far from being beside the point, these features that are physically ‘beside the text’ have the potential to influence the way a reader approaches and navigates a passage of Scripture or a biblical book. Drawing on Goswell’s extensive scholarly work on these features, this volume is rich with analysis of ancient evidence, synthesis of contemporary scholarship, and reflective connections to biblical theology. Because of these factors, this volume itself would be an excellent paratextual resource to come alongside your study of God’s word.”
The Beginning and End of All Things
Theology
“The Bible's rich theology of creation is sometimes sequestered to the opening chapters of Genesis or linked exclusively with debates about scientific origins. With careful and thoughtful precision, Edward Klink guides readers to broader biblical-theological horizons with a resized view of creation, redemption, and new creation. This volume gracefully equips readers to look on the doctrine of creation across the grand story line of the Bible and declare, 'This is very good.'”
Theology
“Studies of the biblical canon often focus on questions of historical development or hermeneutical function, while theologies of Scripture frequently leave the question of canon underdeveloped. In this volume, Matthew Emerson brings these conversations together with impressive theological and exegetical skill. Situating the canon within the broader framework of Christian doctrine, he offers a constructive account that engages the best of contemporary canon studies while illuminating the theological significance of Scripture's shape and scope. This volume fills a gap in current scholarship and provides a thoughtful contribution to the study of Scripture and canon. Recommended without hesitation!”
Theology
“This succinct volume brims with fresh textual observations and insightful canonical connections. Drawing from a deep well of thoughtful study, Dempster skillfully shows that the reign and return of the king is not only a central theme in redemptive history but also a strategic summary of the Bible's unfolding story line. This biblical theology of God's kingdom is a gift.”
