Renowned—But . . .

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Paul’s interactions with the church at Corinth provide the context for two of the most important letters of Paul. Murray Harris, who has been thinking and writing about the Corinthian correspondence for many decades, packs into this slim volume a wealth of information about the city and the early Christian letters written to the Christians there. The book provides a marvelous overview as well as appropriate points of application for today’s church.”

Romans

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Naselli’s book on Romans gives believers a brief and accessible overview of Paul’s great letter to the church in Rome. While written for a general audience, this book is rooted in a broad acquaintance with the many issues in recent interpretation of the letter.”

Stewards of Eden

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A number of biblical scholars have demonstrated that 'creation care' is deeply rooted in the Scriptures. But Dr. Richter's book stands apart in its focus on examples from everyday life that illustrate and bring home to us the biblical principles she highlights. Her book therefore is a welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on the biblical basis for appropriate environmental activism.”

Strengthened by the Gospel

Christian Living

“There is obviously great value in working through a book like Romans from beginning to end, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse (what we might call a ‘longitudinal’ approach). But a complementary ‘latitudinal’ approach that outlines the key theological themes of Romans is also important. Brian Rosner’s book takes this second approach. It is the best available survey of the theology of this important and influential biblical book.”

The Blessing of Abraham, the Spirit, and Justification in Galatians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Foreword

“I welcome a book, such as the one I here commend, for its argument for continuity across the testaments. But it is not only its conclusion that I welcome. Facile claims for harmony between the testaments are all too common; too many sweep awkward exegetical details under the rug in order to keep conclusions neat and tidy. Not the least of the virtues of Chee-Chiew Lee's book is her determination to tackle the specifics of the text at the same time as she seeks to move from those specifics to wider biblical, theological conclusions.”

The Final Days of Jesus

Theology

“A clearly presented overview of the most important week in world history. Brief, helpful comments illuminate the biblical story and bring home its enduring and life-changing message.”

The God Who Judges and Saves

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Set in the broader theological context of Scripture, Matthew Harmon usefully summarizes the main theological contributions of these neglected letters. He outlines the considerable theological overlap in the books at the same time as he highlights the distinctive emphases of each letter.”

The Letter to the Ephesians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Campbell’s commentary bears all the hallmarks of the Pillar series: clear exposition, grounded in adequate research, with attention both to the details of the text and to the broader argument. A distinguishing feature of this commentary is its more informal English style, which communicates very effectively and makes reading the commentary a refreshing experience.”

The Moody Bible Atlas

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The Moody Bible Atlas by Barry Beitzel is an astonishingly rich resource for any student of the Bible. It is packed with clear and helpful maps, accurate and readable descriptions of the various lands that play a role in the Bible, and thorough and sensible discussions about debated issues. The reader is provided not only with detailed geographical information, but with a wonderful outline of the story of the Bible.”

The New Creation and the Storyline of Scripture

Theology

“Careful study of the Scriptures is vital for Christian growth, and study of small portions of text pays great dividends. But if we cannot put those smaller bits into the larger storyline of Scripture, we can miss the forest for the trees. Frank Thielman provides a well-written and accurate description of that forest, the big picture of what God is doing in redemptive history.”

The Second Letter to the Corinthians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Mark Seifrid takes a distinctive approach to the commentator's task: rather than cataloging and evaluating the opinions of modern scholars, he chooses to focus on his own fresh, stimulating, and very definite interpretation of the letter, its theology, and its significance for fundamental issues of hermeneutics.”

The Whole Story of the Bible in 16 Verses

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In order to understand our Bibles, we need to understand the big story of God’s redemptive plan. Chris Bruno focuses on sixteen key texts to provide a clear and accessible outline of this big story. I recommend the book highly.”

Understanding the New Testament Use of the Old Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In the crowded field of New Testament use of the Old Testament, Huffman’s book stands out for its methodological rigor. Interacting with a broad range of the literature on this topic, Huffman proposes several taxonomies in an effort to bring some semblance of order to a confusing mishmash of approaches and methods. A genuine contribution.”

Union with the Resurrected Christ

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This volume captures Beale at his best. He creatively draws connections between texts across the canon to craft an attractive biblical-theological picture of God’s revelation in Scripture. His focus on resurrection brings an emphasis much needed in today’s theological landscape.”

When Did Sin Begin?

Theology

“When Did Sin Begin? explores an important issue in the current discussions about Scripture and science. The book models integration at its best, with serious and well-researched work on both the science side and the Scripture side of this discussion. Even when I disagreed with some points along the way (as one inevitably does), I could not fault the author for any failure to treat Scripture or the theological tradition with anything less than full seriousness. I recommend the book as a well-informed entry into many of the current debates among Christians about creation and human origins.”
