“Morgan has produced an intriguing, thoroughly modern paradigm for working with Scripture.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“We are in the debt of editors Walsh and Elliott for a volume that is historically informed (from Gabler on), engaged with all the relevant secondary literature of the past century, and thoughtfully undertaken. I have wondered if a contribution of B. S. Childs was simply his ability to keep an eye on biblical theology and interpretation at widest possible scholarly range, and to evaluate it on those comprehensive terms--the danger being that the discipline would otherwise break up into tribes of special interest or self-reference. The editors and contributors to this volume have kept that same goal in mind and have done so with fine scholarship and focused attention. The uncluttered title, Biblical Theology, is just right.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Stephen Cook invites us to travel back into the world of Daniel. It is not a world to be translated into another domesticating idiom, in which images and personalities are constrained by historicism and positivism as indispensable interpretive registers. Cook knows where the canon of modern exegetical work is useful and where it is over-determining. The literature of theologically grounded enchantment comes alongside as a useful guide but never dictates what Daniel the wise prophet asks us to see. The result is a creative re-encounter with this rich book of wisdom into God's purposes from on high.”
Dictionary of the Old Testament: Pentateuch
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“By focusing on a single main section of Scripture, the Dictionary of the Old Testament: Pentateuch allows for greater scope and in-depth handling of individual topics. Well researched and comprehensive in treatment, it will be a good addition to the library of students, pastors, scholars and laypeople.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Elegant and clear in presentation, with masterful control of the history of interpretation, Bartholomew has made a significant contribution to Ecclesiastes studies. He handles all the critical issues with care and insight and has given us a readable and penetrating portrayal of this enigmatic witness. A new standard.”
Theology
“Very rarely does one encounter the intelligent combination of pastoral insight, cultural engagement, theological sharpness, and exegetical talent displayed in this fine book. It is wise, reflects years of teaching and pastoral experience, and will be a joy to read for pastors, teachers, and the more general culture.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“An up-to-date and engaging presentation of the Twelve from the perspective of recent scholarship. The author unlocks an angle of vision that feeds directly into theological and pastoral application, and he does so with energy and clarity. This balance is what makes for such a strong contribution to theological exegesis for our day. Highly recommended.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Old Testament theology in the form of eight exegetical performances. A Moberly omnibus: clear, thoughtful, engaging, and of contemporary relevance.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This volume on biblical theology jumps into the fray and poses the right kind of questions. It does not offer a single way forward. Several of the essays are quite fresh and provocative, breaking new ground (Bray, Reno); others set out the issues with clarity and grace (Bartholomew); others offer programmatic analysis (Webster; Bauckham); others offer a fresh angle of view (Chapman, Martin). The success of this series is in facing the challenge of disarray in biblical studies head-on and then modeling a variety of approaches to stimulate our reflection.”
Practicing Theological Interpretation
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In a compact and carefully argued presentation, a prominent New Testament scholar shares his convictions about proper apprehension of the New Testament's word of address. This serves as an introduction to many of the key points of critical evaluation in what is now called theological interpretation. He helpfully locates the theoretical discussion of narrative, the 'model reader,' history, and Rule of Faith in relationship to the reading of New Testament texts. Informed, engaged, accessible.”
Theology
“In this important work on the Psalter, Brian German deploys a fascinating marriage of twenty-first-century canonical-historical reading with an investigation into the sixteenth-century exegetical instincts of Martin Luther. A careful serial reading of the canonical shape of the Psalter "pressured" a remarkable theological and pastoral break-through for the Protestant Reformer. German's historically informed contribution opens up a fresh vista for theological exegesis in our day.”
Reading the Old Testament as Christian Scripture
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This is an outstanding resource. It is clearly presented with useful sidebars and images and with text that is economically stated and moves along, covering the important relationship between history, text, theology, and canon. Reading the Old Testament as Christian Scripture reminds me of a cross between the influential Understanding the Old Testament by Bernhard Anderson and the canonical introduction to the Old Testament by Brevard Childs. We are indebted to Gignilliat and Thomas for this fine collaborative effort. This book is sure to be seen in undergraduate and seminary classrooms. Bravo.”
Theology
“A thoroughly up-to-date and well-researched account of how Barth deploys Scripture, especially in doctrinal statements concerning God's character. Pokrifka moves resolutely and carefully through the secondary literature and offers his own fresh appraisal.”
The Books of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“With a lifetime of investment in studying the main critical issues, Renz has produced a learned and judicious commentary on three prophetic books. He is aware of more recent efforts to think of the Twelve as a whole, and the contribution of these three books in that same context, though he is cautious about preserving their individual character. This is a commentary with technical expertise and pastoral sensitivity. An impressive contribution to the well-regarded NICOT series.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This book is an intelligent, engaging overview of the narrative of Scripture in six acts. Bartholomew and Goheen have produced a clear and theologically sensitive account of the Bible that is perfect for college students or adult Bible study groups.”
Theology
“Douglas Knight has produced an ambitious, engaging, and creative account of the drama of redemption by changing the baseline terms in the discussion. This is constructive theology of a bold and fresh kind, taking seriously Israel, sacrifice, and an account of the problem of the human condition indebted to Irenaeus and Zizioulas. It is remarkable for its timely account of the church’s destiny in the world of God’s urgent, consummative work.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“A timely, sober, and intelligent account of Anglicanism's travails, equally matched by a bold call to holiness of life in communion and in conciliar forbearance in Christ. In the end this is a hopeful book about God's vocation for Anglican Christianity, that is, for a communion which finds its calling in obedience, mutual submission, and missionary service. In its trenchant analysis of American culture, The Fate of Communion is much more than a book for Anglicans alone.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In his treatment of Judith, LaCocque reflects on the paradox that Judith - more 'woman-oriented' than (the conceivably female-authored) Susanna - was probably written by a man. He concludes that this deserves to be celebrated: 'The best advocates for a cause are those who are not self-serving.' LaCocque appears to plead his own cause here, as he celebrates the underrepresented but bold interventions of women on behalf of God, for Israel and the world. As literature and as individuals, Susanna, Judith, Esther, and Ruth accomplish a peripeteia that allows God to convict, convert, and save.”
Theology
“Hard to put this down. Elegant and clear in expression, charitable in exchange, at points poetic, and always with direct application to lived Christian life. Christopher Holmes writes in a genre of deep and generous learning coupled with keen spiritual insight. A wise look at a theme absolutely central to who God is and how he is toward us. The Psalter is an especially well-chosen area to take us on his journey of discovery.”
