Excavating John's Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Foreword

“"Now in this commentary he [Bennema] takes us through the gospel in a way that is scholarly but not technical, bringing out the original author's meaning, but also reflecting on its relevance. The gospel is simple, but profound, and the commentary is similar--easy to follow, but full of insight.”

Interpreting the Parables

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“It is good news when a good book on an important topic gets a new lease of life. Blomberg's book is lucid, well-informed and reliable, and I warmly welcome this new updated edition.”

Jesus and Paul Reconnected

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I warmly welcome this collection of essays by distinguished scholars and its serious engagement with an important and often neglected theme. The essays explore persuasively some of the agreements of Jesus and Paul (e.g., Barclay on grace and Longenecker on money and possessions); they ask important questions (e.g., Markus Bockmuehl's masterly discussion of Peter's role in the context of recent New Testament study); and they are at times provocative (e.g., Francis Watson's surprising contribution on the Lord's Supper). There is much here to stimulate thought and to encourage ongoing reflection and discussion.”

Oral Tradition and Synoptic Verbal Agreement

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A remarkable book, the product of years of work, including doctoral study in Oxford and firsthand research among Arabic-speaking Christians of the Middle East. Through incisive and detailed engagement with scholars' ideas, Derico thinks the unthinkable, and asks if the almost universal assumption that high levels of agreement between the gospels require a literary explanation is actually true. A timely, informative, and important contribution that should not be ignored.”

The Holy Spirit and Christian Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“What a vital subject for today’s church! We too often neglect aspects of biblical truth, and our life and witness are thus impoverished and weakened. I warmly welcome this book’s focus on mission and the Holy Spirit, and hope that its insights and challenges will be heard and heeded.”

The Power of Saving Wisdom

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book is one of the most interesting and informative books I have read recently on John's gospel… The book is lucidly written, interacts intelligently and informatively with a wide variety of other literature on John, and again and again says insightful things about John's gospel… Some books on John make the gospel seem more obscure not less; this is not one of them. Bennema I found illuminating and helpful.”
