American Christian Nationalism

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Christianity loses its bearings when it is made to serve nationalist interests. In this concise and accessible book, Michael W. Austin rightly raises the alarm about the role of the faith in US politics, especially since 2016. American Christians who don’t want to go down in history as a cautionary tale will take heed.”

The Genesis of Good and Evil

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With a welcoming voice and his characteristic erudition, Mark Smith takes on some of the most profound questions in Western religions. As he readily acknowledges, this book raises more questions than it answers; it could not be otherwise. But for those interested in further explorations, it also offers a wealth of resources.”

The Genre of Biblical Commentary

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The commentary has been the most enduringly popular genre of biblical criticism. In this welcome volume, leading scholars pull back the curtain and give readers an uncommon look inside their processes and the way they think about the challenges and craft of writing commentaries.”

Unwavering Faithfulness

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Isaiah is a book of such large scale that it can be hard to come to grips with it. Walter Brueggemann and Brent Strawn offer here a great gift: a compilation of pathways into its grandeur by way of key moments. One could hardly ask for two guides with more knowledge and wisdom about the Bible, and it’s a particular blessing to hear Brueggemann’s voice now that we have lost him.”
