Defending Hope

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The study of semiotics promises an approach to exegesis that focuses on the study of signs, communication theory, and meaning in order to give a cohesive understanding of how the New Testament uses the Old Testament. Defending Hope elucidates a methodology for employing semiotics in exegesis. Having laid out the method, Langford then gives pragmatic demonstration and application of 1 Peter's use of Isaiah to bring hope to God's people in tribulation. Langford's work on semiotics gives us a promising new tool in our arsenal of methodologies for intertextuality studies.”

Heaven or Halakah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I am honored to endorse Andrea Robinson’s publication of Heaven or Halakah. Her thesis was born in a doctoral seminar we shared together. She challenges traditional interpretations of John 14 where she offers exegetical insights in line with rabbinical halakah and walking in obedience to Jesus Christ here and now. Robinson is a capable scholar in both Hebrew and Greek. Her work is worthy of consideration by all Johannine scholars.”

New Testament Greek Intermediate

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Gerald Stevens' 'New Testament Greek Intermediate' follows the time-honored deductive approach to learning second-year Koine Greek. In addition to reviewing morphology, Stevens introduces the student to second-year syntactical issues without overwhelming him with third-year, exegetical concepts. His explanations are exact with copious examples from the New Testament that underscore the concepts. The self-contained homework exercises from the New Testament eliminate the need for purchasing an additional workbook. Stevens' intermediate grammar is a natural sequel to his Primer, also published by Cascade Books. For the professor looking for a true, intermediate Greek grammar, Stevens' will not disappoint your expectations.”
