Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In his 1400-page NIGTC volume on 1 Corinthians, Anthony Thiselton explained that he addressed every legitimate question he could think of that someone might ask of the text! The result was a masterpiece, but one that few readers will ever fully scrutinize. In a new labor of love, Thiselton has now created this marvelous digest, at the same time interacting with the newest round of research, adding applicational gems into his exegesis, and inserting thoughtful questions for reflection and implementation at the end of each section. This will immediately become the main text for my English Bible 1 Corinthians elective.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Richard Bewes, Rector, All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, UK”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Ever since it first appeared, Jobes's commentary on 1 Peter has been my primary textbook for teaching this letter. This revised edition keeps the best of what she wrote before while also interweaving interactions with the most valuable literature of recent years along with gems of contemporary application. Jobes's judicious conclusions merit acceptance at almost every turn. A great resource has become even better.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Bible is the story of God and his dealings with humanity from creation to new creation. The Bible is made up more of stories than of any other literary genre. Even the psalms, proverbs, prophecies, letters, and the Apocalypse make complete sense only when set in the context of the grand narrative of the entire Bible. This commentary series breaks new ground by taking all these observations seriously. It asks commentators to listen to the text, to explain the text, and to live the text. Some of the material in these sections overlaps with introduction, detailed textual analysis and application, respectively, but only some. The most riveting and valuable part of the commentaries are the stories that can appear in any of these sections, from any part of the globe and any part of church history, illustrating the text in any of these areas. Ideal for preaching and teaching.”
10 Choices Successful Couples Make
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Marriages can be transformed. Bad habits can be broken. Feelings of love can return where they have been absent. But none of this happens without intentional choices and hard work on the part of both spouses. Ron Welch provides clear, easy-to-understand guidelines for the choices spouses can make to begin the process of strengthening or repairing their marriages. It is not a matter of forces outside of anyone’s control but what one chooses to do, difficult as those choices may seem. This little book is chock full of hope, wisdom, biblical insight, and proven methods from the counselor’s office. Every couple can learn from it, and it ought to be required reading for conversations between every engaged and even pre-engaged couple. An amazing gift to the church and the world from someone who has practiced what he preaches.”
30 Old Testament Passages with Deeper Meaning
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Michael Williams masters technical Old Testament scholarship and makes it accessible to the ordinary layperson. He understands how Old Testament passages point to Christ and apply to believers today. His deeper meanings are neither allegorical nor idiosyncratic but highlight what the original authors intended with the words they chose. He reinforces his interpretations with memorable puns himself. This book could be used in the classroom or for devotions but will enjoyably inform many other readers as well. Countless thanks to Williams for these valuable insights!”
A Grammar of New Testament Greek
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Some instructors and students of intermediate Greek prefer a concise textbook that avoids complicating matters beyond the basics needed for effectively translating large swaths of the New Testament. Others prefer a very comprehensive text, replete with multiple New Testament examples of every grammatical category. Whitacre steers a middle course between these two options. He does not illustrate with many biblical passages but has created an ideal reference tool for those who have had two or three semesters of Greek and want both to review what they learned and to understand further why and how things function as they do. Best used in accompaniment with an inductive study of New Testament passages, as Whitacre himself does.”
A Little Book for New Bible Scholars
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Whether starting out in formal biblical studies as a freshman at a Christian college or completing a PhD in Old or New Testament, students of the Bible need to read this little gem of a book. A veteran biblical scholar joins hands with a younger peer to offer all the right advice about how to approach one's career, what to avoid, and how to keep the main thing the main thing. Laced with humorous and incisive real-life stories and choice quotes from other scholars who have trodden the same path, this work represents Christian wisdom at its finest.”
A New Testament Biblical Theology
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Some New Testament theologies emphasize the distinctiveness of each author or book; others seek a center or unifying theme. Beale’s work is decidedly in the second category as he demonstrates new creation as an umbrella category covering all of the other major motifs not only in the New Testament but also in the relevant Old Testament and Second Temple Jewish background material. Along the way, readers are treated to outstanding up-to-date discussions of most of the main topics they have come to expect and some new ones, especially in light of intracanonical connections. Throughout, Beale is thoroughly evangelical and thoroughly scholarly. This work is a true tour de force.”
Christian Living
“A Peculiar Glory is not just another book defending the reliability of the Scriptures, although it does do that. It is a reminder that without the internal witness of the Spirit, no amount of evidences will ever lead to faith. And that witness works most directly as we read and understand Scripture itself—as it attests itself to us—particularly as we focus on Jesus and the gospel message. Part apologetics, part church history, part almost lyrical poetry, Piper’s book should inspire every reader back to the Bible, to its core and to the Jesus whom it reveals, who loves us beyond measure despite all that we are and do—more than enough reason for being his disciples.”
Theology
“After a flurry of interest in the theology of Luke in the 1970s and 1980s, it has been quite a while since a detailed, reasonably comprehensive work on the major themes in Lukan thought in both his Gospel and Acts has appeared. Here, finally, is one that is up-to-date, thorough, evangelical, and, as an added bonus, largely based on the narrative sequence of Luke's material in his two volumes. Bock adds to his repertoire as the premier recent commentator on Luke and Acts separately. This book is a worthy successor to Andreas Köstenberger's inaugural volume on John in Zondervan's emerging Biblical Theology of the New Testament series.”
A Week in the Life of a Roman Centurion
Fiction
“Biblical scholars are not typically known for writing historical novels, much less gripping page-turners. Gary Burge, however, has accomplished both of these feats. Fully true to the historical-cultural setting of the early first-century Roman Empire, this story not only makes the New Testament world come alive but it creates one very plausible scenario of the career and family of the Capernaum centurion of Matthew 8:5-13 and Luke 7:1-10. The characters become so real that I was even tearing up at the end of Burge's story!”

“parts of the world? Read the applications and you’ll quickly see how universal many of them are! A wonderful gift to the church worldwide.”
An Expositor’s Handbook to the Greek Text of Matthew
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Would you like to preach or teach a fourteen-week series on some of the most important passages in the Gospel of Matthew, with all Greek words parsed and analyzed, succinct explanations given of more puzzling or controversial parts of the text, key talking points for conversation, and a potential big idea to unify your sermon or lesson? Dan Gurtner offers a reliable ready-made guide. Better yet, would you like to preach or teach through all parts or all major parts of the Gospel without having everything force-fed to you? This book will give you models and then leave you better prepared to launch out on your own to the rest of the text. A gem of a book and a wonderful gift of a resource work!”
Artificial Intelligence, Reincarnation, and Resurrection
Theology
“One does not expect to read about artificial intelligence, biblical teaching on life after death, and comparative religions' contribution to the future hopes of humanity all in one book. If one finds such a book, one can almost guarantee that the author will not have specialized in more than one of those disciplines, if that. Valea defies these expectations, demonstrating a mastery of each and producing profound reflections on how AI does not and cannot deliver on the more religious promises of some of its creators, and on how the Christian doctrine of resurrection offers the only realistic hope of a positive eternal existence for human beings today.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Far too few biblically grounded, pastorally sensitive books on church discipline remain in print today. I know of none that is as exegetically accurate, practically relevant, and filled with real-life case studies of how churches should deal with a wide variety of common situations. On top of all this, Leeman is helpfully succinct and remarkably clear. Highly recommended!”
