Fulfilling the Law and the Prophets

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Here is a critically important volume for Matthean scholars—and New Testament scholarship overall—to engage. Anslow offers a solidly argued and strongly convincing study of the prophetic vocation of Jesus within Matthew’s narrative, a topic largely unaddressed within previous Matthean scholarship. In this sociohistorically grounded narrative study of strategic Matthean texts, Anslow demonstrates the deeply ‘prophetic’ character of the words and actions of Matthew’s Jesus and presents compelling new insights into Matthean Christology.”

God Our Savior

Theology

“Creative theologizing. . . . . I find myself constantly challenged and stimulated by these new insights. . . .”

Irony in the Matthean Passion Narrative

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Here is an important 'first of its kind' volume for narrative critical studies of the Gospel of Matthew. With this work, Berg provides the first full-length study of irony from a Matthean standpoint and opens the door wide for further scholarly attention to this crucial literary motif within Matthew's Gospel. Berg’s work is solidly grounded in the study of irony within Western literature. And her treatment of Matthew's Passion Narrative highlights in striking fashion the profoundly ironic modus operandi of Matthew’s implied author as he tells the story of God’s salvific purposes enacted through Jesus, Savior of God’s people (1:21).”

Jesus, Revolutionary of the Poor

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Here is no volume for the fainthearted. Bredin, a British Quaker, sketches a no-holds-barred portrait of ‘Matthew’s Subversive Messiah.’”

On the Face of the Deep

World Religions

“On the Face of the Deep offers readers a compelling nautical journey through the Scriptures that is rich with historical background, biblical insights, and personal reflections. Drawing on long years of firsthand experience plying the Mediterranean in the aptly named vessel SailingActs, Stutzman here traces the biblical story of the people of God from Genesis to Revelation as they move from their land-based origins to engage, in an increasingly vital fashion, with 'the sea and its people.' We owe Stutzman a debt of gratitude for his patient and passionate work at researching and demonstrating the significance of the sea as a crucial historical, theological, and missiological motif throughout the Scriptures.”

The King Who Teaches: St. Matthew’s Royal Curriculum

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Here is a rich and thought-provoking resource for teachers and students on all levels. Eugene Lemcio’s volume provides a genuine treasure trove of pedagogical aids—intra-Matthean, intertextual, and Greco-Roman—for the study of the Gospel of Matthew from a fascinating variety of angles. Lemcio’s study tools draw consistently on inductive methodology. And they offer a sturdy collection of redaction, narrative, and composition-critical exercises intended to draw teachers and students alike into the task of learning from ‘St. Matthew’s Royal Curriculum.’”

The Poetics of Matthew 1

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Here is a crucially new approach to the interpretation of Matthew 1, with significant potential for impacting Matthean studies more broadly and enriching biblical studies overall. Timothy Lewis’s use of ‘text-based’ questions in the search for ‘text-based answers’ opens intriguing new insights into long-debated questions concerning the literary role of the women within Matthew’s genealogy (1:1–17) and results in a strikingly new assessment of Joseph’s marital dilemma (1:18–25). An important read for students of Matthew’s Gospel.”
