A New Testament Biblical Theology

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The canonical scope and focus on the biblical storyline give Beale’s New Testament Biblical Theology a unique place among the many New Testament theologies now available. The book is vintage Beale, creatively making connections between Old Testament and New Testament and pursuing a definite vision of how the Bible hangs together.”

Acting the Miracle

Christian Living

“A great combination of theological insight and practical advice on one of the most important of all Christian doctrines.”

Called by Triune Grace

Theology

“Jonathan Hoglund's book on effectual calling is very welcome for three reasons. First, it tackles a theological issue that has been relatively neglected in recent study. Second, it is a model of theological method, combining effectively careful exegesis of the Scriptures, insights from the history of discussion, and doctrinal considerations. Finally, the focus on divine speech provides a way to affirm God's initiative in the call to salvation without obscuring the personal relationships between Creator and created.”

Election of the Lesser Son

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The strengths of Election of the Lesser Son are its careful attention to the larger structures of Paul's argument and to the way Paul weaves Old Testament allusions into his argument about Israel.”

Ephesians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Thielman’s Ephesians admirably combines the features that distinguish excellent commentaries on Scripture: breadth of research in both classical and contemporary writings, careful attention to the form and structure of the Greek text, clear writing, and appropriate theological and practical application. This commentary will join Hoehner and O’Brien as the first references on Ephesians to which I turn.”

Ephesians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“One of the best commentaries on Ephesians in English. Hoehner's breadth of research, detail on critical issues, and solid exegetical treatment are impressive.”

Galatians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Todd Wilson’s exposition of Galatians admirably meets the goals of the Preaching the Word series. Wilson knows all the issues in this letter and treats them with remarkable fairness, always making clear just what the text is communicating to God's people today.”

Glimpsing the Future

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Murray Harris reflects decades of thinking, teaching, and writing into this superb outline of personal eschatology. In his usual concise style, Harris packs an impressive array of exegetical and theological topics into a short compass.”

How to Study the Bible's Use of the Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In the crowded field of books on the NT use of the OT, this volume by Matt Harmon and Gary Schnittjer stands out by extending the issue to include the OT use of the OT. This added dimension enhances our appreciation of the unity of biblical revelation. Harmon and Schnittjer are especially focused on providing students of the Bible a method to apply to the issue. Many “case studies” flesh out this approach to methodology.”

Interpreting Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Interpreting Paul usefully brings together all the major essays (some reprints, some new) Luke Timothy Johnson has written on Paul. The thoughtful and often delightfully independent take on current issues in Paul for which Johnson is known is fully on display in these essays. While not a ‘Pauline theology’ in the usual sense of that phrase, the volume provides a breathtakingly broad scope of comment on many of the key issues in the apostle’s theology.”

Judgment According to Works in Romans

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book, which is carefully written and carefully argued, reminds us of the complexity of Paul’s theology of salvation and all aspects of it, including justification. Justification does not nullify the reality of God’s judgment on sin. Kevin McFadden deals with this controverted area and its secondary literature with precision, skill, and evenhandedness.” —Frank W. Hughes Diocesan School of Theology Episcopal Diocese of Western Louisiana “The topic of judgment according to works is a vital but often neglected aspect of Paul's theology. Kevin McFadden's study of this theme in Romans usefully assesses current options and argues an exegetically informed and theologically sensitive proposal.”

Justification Reconsidered

Theology

“Justification Reconsidered is a valuable summary and extension of Stephen Westerholm's fresh and compelling arguments about Paul and Judaism in his Perspectives Old and New on Paul. This book engages with key biblical and theological issues in current interpretation of Paul and is marked by a refreshingly clear and forthright style.”

Maccabean Martyr Traditions in Paul’s Theology of Atonement

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jarvis Williams . . . has provided a valuable and balanced assessment of the influence of Maccabean Martyr Theology on Paul's portrayal of the death of Christ. He makes a case that Paul's theology of atoning sacrifice, while rooted in the Old Testament, has also been influenced by these martyr traditions. The book features a helpful overview of the martyr texts as well as careful exegesis of the relevant Pauline passages.”

New Testament Theology

Theology

“I. H. Marshall surveys the issues and themes of New Testament theology as only the dean of evangelical New Testament scholars could do.”

No Other Gospel

Theology

“Josh Moody’s No Other Gospel blends attention to the text, theological insight, and pastoral application in a model of Scriptural exposition. His focus on Galatians is a great choice, since this letter addresses so clearly the nature and importance of the gospel – a critical matter in an age when so many Christians and so many churches are confused about the gospel and its centrality.”

Paul and Union with Christ

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Union with Christ, a vital and debated theme in Paul’s theology, has not received the attention it deserves. Constantine Campbell seeks to redress this situation with a thorough exegetical analysis of all the relevant Pauline texts. His study both makes its own contribution and provides a great foundation for continuing discussion.”

Paul, Apostle of Grace

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Frank Thielman’s book on Paul does for a new generation what F. F. Bruce’s Paul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free did in his day: provide an overview of the apostle’s ministry based on the testimony of Acts and all thirteen letters traditionally ascribed to Paul. Without sacrificing depth, the book is impressively broad in scope, combining careful historical description with brief interpretations of each of Paul’s letters. This is the book on Paul I would recommend to anyone who is looking for an overview of the apostle of grace.”

Paul's "Works of the Law" in the Perspective of Second-Century Reception

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Since the 'new perspective' burst onto the academic scene in the 1980s, a key phrase at the center of the ensuing debate has been Paul's 'works of the law.' A flood of studies examining the phrase in its Pauline contexts and in Jewish literature has engulfed the world of Pauline scholarship. Matthew Thomas has taken a refreshingly new approach, looking carefully at the way theologians in the first centuries of the church approached the issues about the law that are tied to the meaning of the phrase. His study finds points of continuity and discontinuity with both the 'new perspective' and the 'old perspective.' He describes accurately and fairly the views of the scholars he chooses to highlight. His study will not settle the ongoing debate about the phrase and the issues associated with it, but anyone engaged in this debate needs to take account of his work.”

Paul's Letter to the Romans

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Among the many commentaries available on Romans today, Colin Kruse's Pillar volume stands out for its combination of academic depth and accessibility.”
