Before You Were Born, I Anointed You

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a fascinating, well-written, and very useful book. It sets out on a quest to uncover women prophets in the Bible silenced by patriarchy and misogyny in subsequent interpretation. Its inclusion of ‘enacted parables’ in the stories of women, particularly in the New Testament in women’s encounters with Jesus, is particularly insightful, demonstrating how the Bible can be used today to resist patriarchal readings and structures within the life of the church.”

Following John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“William Loader’s commentary provides a vital resource for readers of John who want to understand it in a relevant and timely way, without being engulfed in technicalities. With its vernacular translation, its up-to-date reflections on the text, and its questions for further reflection, this is a simple and accessible commentary. It is written by an eminent Johannine scholar who knows his material so well that he can communicate it with clarity and lucidity.”

Reading the Bible in Australia

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This fascinating collection of essays explores the biblical text in the context of a colonizing history of appropriation. It offers new ways of reading and responding to the Bible from within the Australian context, with its complex cultures and its ancient landscape. The book is invaluable both for its innovative interpretations and for raising acutely the question of what it means to interpret the Bible for today within particular cultural contexts.”

Spirituality in John’s Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Fr. Fiore has produced a highly impressive and authoritative account of spirituality in the Fourth Gospel. Grounded both in the Johannine text and in reception history, this study explores John’s spiritual theology in a careful and coherent way, taking spirituality seriously as an academic discipline in its own right. The book gives valuable insight, not only into Johannine mysticism, but also into John’s theology more generally, as well as his spirituality as it engages in dialogue with the Gospel through the tradition.”

Women Who Do

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A well-written and carefully researched study, which portrays the remarkably positive role of female discipleship in the sociopolitical context of the ancient world where women had little power.”
