Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I have not found another book that sets out to treat repentance in quite the way that Mark Boda has: he patiently, thoroughly and effectively works his way through Scripture to learn what repentance means and what it looks like in each canonical corpus, covering not only commonly used words but also the fundamental concepts.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Commentaries on the Johannine Epistles continue to pour from the presses. This latest contribution, from Dr. Mavis Leung, covers the ground found in most commentaries, but does so with an eye focused on the social discourse features of the text. Influenced by the systemic functional linguistics proposed by Michael A. K. Halliday, Leung seeks to enrich her exegesis by drawing attention to the writer’s deployment of language to flesh out the social world he shares with his readers.”

History & Biography
“These studies are gems, often looking at well-known figures in a fresh light. Now we have all twenty-seven of these studies brought together in one fat volume. If you want to be stirred and challenged by the Christ who stirred and challenged these twenty-seven servants of sovereign joy, look no further.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In an age when we tend to lionize big strategies, big churches, and big cities, Stephen Witmer movingly calls us back to faithfulness, not least when the sphere to which we have been called is small and unknown. Of course, it is not a question of either-or: either big cities or small towns and rural villages. Dr. Witmer does not try to force us into mutually exclusive worlds, but at a time when agendas favor the big and the urban, he patiently summarizes the biblical and theological evidence for underscoring the small and the overlooked. Read Witmer and (ironically) expand your vision.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This short book is a very healthy mixture of candid self-disclosure and rigorous thought. It combines good storytelling with careful handling of the Bible. It is always honest and never glib. In the rising tide of literature on same-sex attraction and homosexuality, this book stands out as one of the most constructive.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Certainly there are few topics more pertinent in the first decade of the twenty-first century. . . . The 'perspicuity of Scripture' (often designated claritas Scripturae) has fallen on hard times. Dr. Thompson's clearly written and robust articulation of the clarity of Scripture will help many people think about these matters knowledgeably, crisply, faithfully, pointedly. The purpose . . . is to handle Scripture itself with greater wisdom and confidence.”
A Gracious and Compassionate God
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Daniel Timmer's volume is exceptional: it engages in a close reading of much of Jonah, but keeps one eye peeled for legitimate canonical ties with what we would today call the mission of God. Dr. Timmer thinks and writes clearly and succinctly, and biblical and theological issues come alive. This is a book to cherish.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“It is extraordinarily rare for a reading of a biblical book to be simultaneously creative and convincing, but Dr Andrew Shead has managed it in this work on Jeremiah. It is even more extraordinary for a book that exemplifies careful exegesis and the best of one kind of biblical theology to speak authoritatively to the discipline of systematic theology, but Dr Shead's work manages that, too. Characterized by tight and disciplined writing and careful thought, this volume deserves careful study. You will never again read Jeremiah exactly the same way you have read it in the past.”
A Pathway into the Holy Scripture
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Although everyone will find bits in this book with which to disagree — or perhaps precisely because of that reason — few will have cause to criticize the competence, breadth, and stimulation of the discussion. Most of these essays ask the right questions about Scripture, engage opposing positions thoughtfully and firmly, challenge cherished biases, or break into fresh conceptualities that help Christian thinkers better grasp the nature of Scripture.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“David Wells's singular examination of where America is going is grounded simultaneously in intellectual developments and sociological analysis. This merging of information from different disciplines provides many fresh insights, which become the focal points that prompt Wells to articulate the historic Christian gospel once again, with fidelity to the 'givens' of revelation and with relevance to the declining splendor of Enlightenment gods. . . Those who are serious both about the gospel and about thoughtful cultural engagement will not want to miss this book.”

Acts and the Isaianic New Exodus
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Enriches and enlivens every thoughtful reading of Acts. No one who teaches or preaches through Acts will want to be without this volume.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Not only the importance of God's family, but also the enormous privilege of belonging to it, are powerfully underscored by Paul's understanding of what it means to be the adopted sons of God. With such themes in view, a wide array of pastoral implications soon springs to light. In other words, this volume not only probes a neglected theme--it also edifies.”
Theology
“The last few decades have witnessed an abundance of studies on the rich ways in which the two Testaments are properly tied together. According to Luke, the resurrected Jesus held and taught strong views along these lines. Starting with a focus on Luke 24:46–47, and concentrating especially on the depiction of Jesus in Luke and the depiction of the church in Acts, Brian Tabb demonstrates how deep the links are: the Old Testament does not simply sidle up to the line and point to Jesus, but unpacks the narrative of redemption so powerfully and coherently that thoughtful readers cannot help but see how the narrative is truly fulfilled in the mission of Jesus and the mission of the church—a connection that Acts 1:1 makes explicit. This book will enrich your grasp of biblical theology while calling your heart to worship.”
