A Guide to the Dead Sea Scrolls and Related Literature

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Fr. Joseph Fitzmyer has been one of the premier experts on the Dead Sea Scrolls for more than fifty years. His guidebook is full of accurate information about the ancient texts and the best modern scholarship. It is the ideal starting point for doing serious research on these important documents and their significance for early Judaism and early Christianity.”

An Introduction to the Bible

“Two veteran teachers and distinguished scholars have joined forces to present a solid and up-to-date introduction to both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. They are especially effective in showing how to read the Bible on the literary, historical, and theological levels. Their work is ideal for a college course, personal study, and long-term reference.”

Eerdmans Commentary on the Bible

“Produced by an ecumenical team of biblical scholars from all over the English-speaking world, this one-volume commentary on the entire Bible will be a great resource for theology students, religious educators, and pastors. The serious attention given to the Old Testament Apocrypha (and 1 Enoch) is an especially welcome feature. The contributors are distinguished and diverse, the scholarship is solid and up to date, and the format is inviting and user-friendly.”

Introduction to the Synoptic Gospels

“Pheme Perkins provides a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of each Synoptic Gospel and a balanced analysis of all the apocryphal and Gnostic Gospels that have attracted so much attention recently. Her knowledge of the ancient texts, long experience as a teacher, sound judgment, and clarity of expression make this book a reliable guide for college and seminary students and for all who are perplexed about the Gospels and the development of early Christianity.”

Jesus

“One of the best religion writers today, Fr. Martin has produced a remarkable combination of modern scholarship on the Gospels, his experiences on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, his own creative imagination and sense of humor, and wise advice pertaining to Christian life.”

Jesus the Teacher

“This volume breaks new ground in Markan study in the areas of historical background, genre, structure, plot, and theology... It contains more fresh ideas than most books of its size.”

The Gospel in Parable

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Among the many fine books on the New Testament parables in recent years, Donahue's work stands out for its concentration on the meaning of the parables in their Gospel contexts. His clear and orderly interpretations are based on a thorough mastery of contemporary scholarship. Students and scholars alike can learn much about the parables and the Synoptic Gospels from this mature study.”
