“N.T. Wright is a uniquely gifted communicator. His commentaries in the New Testament for Everyone series make clear the complex and make exciting the deep theological truths. Pastors, students, scholars, and laity have benefitted from these little books. I am delighted that they will remain in print and available for future generations!”

“Bob Stein has written a great commentary on the Gospel of Mark. It is rich with interpretive insight, yet it is very reader friendly. Scholars, pastors, students, and lay readers will appreciate how Stein tackles difficult questions head-on and presents sensible solutions. Reading this commentary gives the reader a real sense of what the evangelist Mark was trying to say and how his original readers would have understood him. It makes an excellent contribution to the BECNT series.”
Mark and the Elijah-Elisha Narrative
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“"Adam Winn's new book shows how the evangelist Mark drew upon the Elijah-Elisha narratives of 1-2 Kings. Winn works in a field where others have labored, but he has taken care to avoid the pitfalls that have discredited previous attempts. Winn offers readers a fresh examination of Mark's composition and the contribution that Israel's old and respected Elijah-Elisha narratives exerted on it. Students of Mark (and the other Gospels) must engage Winn's work.”

Matthean and Lukan Special Material
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Matthean and Lukan Special Material provides students and scholars with a concise introduction to the Synoptic Problem, a convenient presentation of the texts (in Greek and in English translation) that may represent the so-called M and L sources, and a succinct and helpful bibliography. Brice Jones has greatly facilitated study of this material, for which all who investigate the Synoptic Gospels will be grateful.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Quarles has provided exegetes of the Greek New Testament a model guide for the study and interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew. Readers will be impressed by the way this scholar and master teacher weighs the lexical and grammatical options judiciously and clearly. Quarles’s commentary is learned yet very readable. All exegetes of the Greek text will benefit from this carefully written book. I highly recommend it.”

“In his stimulating study, Of Conflict and Concealment, Adam Wright probes the difficult and surprisingly complex question of Mark’s literary genre. Swimming against the scholarly current, Wright argues that the Gospel of Mark is best understood as an example of Greek tragedy, not biography. This thesis has been argued before, but not with the clarity and depth that we find in Wright’s informative and well-researched book.”
Other Voices in Old Testament Interpretation
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Professor Marlowe not only offers readers a clinic in contextual exegesis, he tackles several difficult passages, offering fresh interpretations. What I especially appreciate about Marlowe’s careful, critical approach is that he does not force texts into traditional straitjackets; rather, he allows the biblical text, understood against the backdrop of the ancient Near East, to speak for itself. This book will serve both scholar and student well.”
Apologetics
“Michael Licona’s Paul Meets Muhammad highlights the key points of disagreement between Christian and Islamic faith in a way that is easy to understand and fun to read. The imaginary debate between the Paul the apostle and Muhammad the prophet is fair and respectful and will help Muslims and Christians alike to understand better the importance and centrality of the resurrection of Jesus. Although advanced students of religion will find this book useful and stimulating, it will prove especially helpful to non-experts. I highly recommend it.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“W. Tyler Sykora’s study takes a fresh look at a familiar passage in the letters of Paul. The passage—1 Cor 3:12—is well known and often referenced, but is its meaning understood? This new book on Paul’s first letter to the Corinthian Christians is a welcome addition to serious scholarship concerned with the apostle’s eschatology.”
Perspectives of Jesus in the Writings of Paul
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Schoberg sheds new light on the thorny question of how Paul relates to Jesus. Perspectives of Jesus in the Writings of Paul takes a new and creative approach that, in my view, is both stimulating and compelling. Schoberg shows how the lines of continuity between Jesus and Paul are meaningful and very significant. In essence, we see in Paul's outreach to Gentiles a replication of the distinctive elements of the ministry of Jesus. Those who claim Paul invented a new faith need to read Schoberg's well-written book carefully.”
Perspectives on Our Father Abraham
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Students, colleagues, and friends have assembled an outstanding collection of studies in honor of long-serving and widely respected Marvin Wilson. Perspectives on Our Father Abraham, a title that alludes to Wilson's landmark study, is a fitting tribute to a first-rate scholar and beloved classroom teacher. Everyone interested in biblical studies, the relationship of Jews and Christians, and, especially, the figure of Abraham in tradition and history will love this book.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“We have in Douglas Kennard’s latest study a welcome contribution to the ongoing Petrine renaissance. Until relatively recently, modern scholarship has tended to neglect study of Peter, the foremost of the disciples of Jesus. But things have begun to change and studies such as what we have in Petrine Theology are bringing about this change. Kennard’s book is timely.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Max Lee and B. J. Oropeza have assembled a very strong collection of engaging studies that both deepen and broaden our understanding of intertextuality in the late classical period. I really appreciate how the Greco-Roman practice of intertextuality is brought into the conversation. Practicing Intertextuality breaks new ground and puts this important discipline on a very promising path.”
Preaching the Pastoral Epistles
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“We have here in this well-written, concise little book, Preaching the Pastoral Epistles, three decades of learned scholarship and pastoral wisdom. What makes this book special is that Wall shows how rich and meaningful the Pastoral Epistles are for the church, even if they were not written by Paul himself. Their place in the canon is assured and their value for teaching and preaching is immense.”
Reading Mark's Christology Under Caesar
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I welcome this contribution to the study of the Gospel of Mark in the context of the Roman Empire. The Jesus of the New Testament Gospels is thoroughly Jewish, to be sure, but he lived and ministered in a land that was part of the Roman world; and the evangelist Mark, the first to craft a biography of Jesus, understood this well. Mark challenges Rome and its cult of the divine emperor with a compelling portrait of the true Son of God. Adam Winn has perceptively pursued this line of inquiry shedding new light on this important field of study.”
“Reckless Christianity exposes the dangerous and heretical teachings and practices of the Global Movement of Apostles and Prophets. I was struck by the parallels with the so-called Toronto Blessing, or ‘Laughing Gospel,’ that was all the rage thirty years ago. It seems every generation has to cook up something new that allegedly takes us back to the miracles and prophecies of the first-generation church. Pivec and Geivett rightly warn their readers to steer clear of this new heresy.”
Preaching & Worship
“Rediscovering Worship brings together seven essays and seven responses that explore aspects of worship in the major parts of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. . . . This book successfully brings together biblical scholarship and applied theology.”
