Daily Liturgy Devotional

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Many Christians find it difficult to use the Bible devotionally and to be both disciplined and expansive in their personal prayer life. Doug O’Donnell has provided a great resource to meet that need. His forty-day pattern of reading and reflecting on a biblical theme uses Scripture, traditional prayers, and familiar songs to focus hearts and minds in the worship of our great God. Warmly commended.”

Faithfulness and Restoration

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Faithfulness and Restoration, Timothy Escott examines four possible strategies for a Christian theological reading of Ezra-Nehemiah, offering a new and holistic way of understanding these often-overlooked books. Salvation-historical and eschatological approaches provide the framework for carefully considered ethical readings. The relevance of Ezra-Nehemiah for Christian faith and life is thus exposed in a thoughtful and compelling way.”

God’s Praise and God’s Presence

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Gabriele Braun’s proposal that Scripture reveals a reciprocal relationship between God’s presence and the praise of his people is carefully argued and illustrated. The result is a biblical theological exposition that is wonderfully relevant to contemporary debates among Christians about the nature and significance of praise. God-honoring praise is rightly considered in relation to gatherings for worship and the biblical call for a life of worship.”

Patterns of Repetition, Structure, and Meaning in the Book of Hebrews

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Michael Clark surveys and critiques landmark studies on the structure of Hebrews and builds on them to develop his approach. Following the wider linguistic discipline of Cohesion Analysis, he notes ‘link clusters’ of repetition and considers how they function individually, in relation to one another, and to the wider discourse as a whole. With helpful summaries at the end of each section, this complex study provides fresh and significant exegetical and structural insights for the interpreter of Hebrews.”

Reformation Anglican Worship

Theology

“Michael Jensen offers a new generation of Anglicans a refreshing opportunity to investigate and appreciate the Book of Common Prayer and its biblical roots. Cranmer’s liturgies enable the grace of the gospel to be heard and gratitude to be expressed with repentance, faith, dedication, service, and praise. Jensen happily combines biblical, theological, historical, and liturgical insights to reveal the ongoing potential of this Reformation standard for edifying churches and promoting God-honoring worship today.”

Sanctification as Set Apart and Growing in Christ

Christian Living

“This short but careful, compelling, and comprehensive study accomplishes a great deal, exposing the reason for conflicting views about sanctification, examining the biblical terminology in context, and tracing the way the theme develops as God’s purpose for humanity is progressively disclosed in Scripture. Marny Köstenberger writes with great clarity, showing how a biblical-theological approach to this topic is both necessary and empowering for those who would lead a godly life.”

The Message of the Old Testament

Christian Living

“Mark Dever has done the Christian community a great service in publishing these sermons. The material is academically informed but presented in a very accessible way with relevant application. With its Christological focus and careful Christian application of the Old Testament, this book enables readers to get into the theological heart of the message of each biblical book.”

The Mission of the Triune God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Given the size and complexity of the book of Acts, scholars have proposed various candidates for the main theological themes and offered analysis for how they all fit together. In this engaging work, Patrick Schreiner shows that the idea of God as Trinity is foundational to the entire book of Acts and that Luke’s other emphases develop and cohere in light of this central truth. This study would be an excellent resource for anyone wishing to delve more deeply into the message and intention of Acts.”

The Power of Pentecost

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this competent and engaging study, Martin Salter argues that Acts presents Pentecost as a new Sinai, a regathering of God's people under Christ's rule, receiving the constitutive gift of the Holy Spirit. Salter wisely proposes a 'third way' in debates about contemporary charismatic teaching. There is no warrant to argue for the complete cessation of phenomena mentioned in Acts, but norms for subsequent situations cannot simply be extrapolated from Luke's narrative.”
