Craig S. Keener

Theology

“Menzies rightly reminds us that Pentecostals are people of both word and Spirit, all the more evangelical in mission because we are pentecostal in experience. That is our history and our grassroots identity, from which we are severed only at our own peril. This book’s message is crucial at a time like this, when both some evangelicals and some Pentecostals seem reluctant to embrace our shared heritage and mission.”

Christian Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“Biblical scholars and missiologists have much to learn from each other. This work, with contributions from notable scholars, offers some fresh biblical insights for thinking about Christian mission.”

Communal Reading in the Time of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A truly worthwhile, wide-ranging and ground breaking work! Unlike most publications, this book fills what was a genuine and essential gap in our knowledge of antiquity relevant to the New Testament. Although subsequent scholarship regularly debates some conclusions of any ground breaking work, it remains indebted to the foundations that such a work lays. This work exhibits careful methodology and thorough engagement with both primary and secondary sources.”

Daniel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The Story of God Bible Commentary series invites readers to probe how the message of the text relates to our situations today. Engagingly readable, it not only explores the biblical text but offers a range of applications and interesting illustrations.”

Defending Shame

Theology

“Simultaneously immersed in the biblical milieu and relevant to our world today, this valuable work displays concrete facility in an astonishing range of disciplines. Although its most novel and distinctive contributions are for Pauline ethics and theology, it provides considerations relevant to pastoral counseling, pedagogy, intercultural studies, and even social communications and public policy.”

Destined for the Cross

Theology

“In this book, Randy Clark majors on the major matters: who Jesus is and why He died for us. Throughout eternity, we’ll explore ever more deeply the meaning of God’s love for us and hatred of evil revealed in the cross. Randy invites us to begin that contemplation now.”

Deuteronomy

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Engagingly readable, it not only explores the biblical text but offers a range of applications and interesting illustrations.”

Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Written and edited by leading scholars in this subject, the Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament will prove an invaluable reference tool that focuses on one of the most important topics in biblical interpretation. While many areas of background shed needed light on the New Testament, few if any are as critical as the Scriptures that informed the thinking and theology of the New Testament writers and their audiences. With essays addressing essential topics, this work complements the valuable Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament.”

Discovering John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Ruth Edwards here masterfully surveys the burgeoning secondary literature in Johannine studies, concisely yet with remarkable thoroughness. Readers will be impressed with her command of Johannine scholarship and will find this work one of the most helpful resources of its kind.”

Divine Healing: The Years of Expansion, 1906–1930

History & Biography

“Robinson's work is intriguing and insightful. . . . Tracing connections between historical figures and those they influenced in such a way that historical roots shed light on current ideas and practices.”

Divorce and Remarriage in the Church

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“David Instone-Brewer is one of today's foremost scholars on first-century Judaism and its bearing on the New Testament. In this book he blends his academic expertise with pastoral concern; he sorts through most of the toughest issues with both intellectual rigor and Christian compassion. His persuasive work on this subject has already had far-reaching influence.”

Empowered Believers

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Haya-Prats's influential work bursts with thought-provoking insights for Lukan exegesis and theology, some now familiar and others unexpected, always with a sensitivity to the larger context of early Christianity. The cooperation of Catholic and Pentecostal scholarship in its current production offers a welcome model of ecumenicity.”

Encountering Mystery

Philosophy

“Highly respected scholar Dale Allison dares to raise important questions that academic protocol has too often excluded. Many of the case studies he offers will challenge our own presuppositions about the world—whatever they are—and for that reason are all the more important for us to consider. Allison rightly expands the repertoire of experience that studies of religion and Scripture must take into account.”

Exodus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Exploring Jewish Literature of the Second Temple Period

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“There are many useful books on Second Temple Jewish literature, for which reason I nearly passed this book by. But once I began actually examining it, I recognized the thoroughness of Larry Helyer's acquaintance with the sources and how carefully he has prepared this book with New Testament students in mind. I believe it will provide an excellent resource for those who want access to the most important materials for New Testament study.”

Faith Embodied

Christian Living

“our physical health. Because he usually works through what he has already created, however, he invites us to be good stewards of the health resources he has already provided.”

Finding Love

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Although Vernon Robbins is one of the most erudite New Testament scholars today, he writes here from his heart in language that anyone can understand. He traces the central Christian theme of love through the New Testament, showing how different writers developed the concept with their distinctive emphases. Together these emphases contribute to a fuller picture of how the New Testament invites us to love others.”

Finding Our Muchness

Theology

“Highlighting practical lessons we can learn from many of the women in Scripture, Kim Maas shows God’s heart for women to flourish in their service to the Lord.”

Five Views on the Gospel

Theology

“This book models charitable dialogue while also exposing key differences among approaches. Its contributors reflect not only theological but also contextual and disciplinary diversity. I learned not only about the diverse frameworks but also more about Calvin, Wesley, and other historical theology. I found myself agreeing with much in each essay and hoping that such dialogue can help us synthesize the best insights of each, while keeping Jesus’s identity and work at the center.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries
