Our Reason for Being

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Ecclesiastes continues to intrigue and confound readers. It is surprisingly contemporary in tone, and yet its relevance for Christian theology is elusive. T. F. Leong addresses this problem in this carefully researched commentary. He has provided readers with a readable analysis that will provide guidance in appreciating Qoheleth’s theological relevance and canonical authority.”

Proverbs

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Not long ago, Proverbs was sadly neglected by much of Old Testament scholarship. Happily, the situation has been rectified in recent years by the publication of several major interpretations of Proverbs. Tremper Longman's commentary is a welcome and substantial addition to this corpus. Readers will recognize his attention to detail and his knowledge of the scholarly literature. Students and teachers interested in doing serious research on Proverbs will not want to proceed without taking Longman's comments into account.”

Separation of the People, Separation of the Land

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The relationship between the sometimes-parallel narratives of Ezra and Nehemiah is fraught with difficulties, and the problem of whether or how they cohere to form a unified contiguous work has long challenged scholars. Because of the complexities of the problems, studies of Ezra-Nehemiah can be forbiddingly dense. Nicholas Campbell has produced a thoroughly researched and insightful analysis of the relationship between these two books. His analysis and conclusions are well-reasoned, and his prose is clear and straightforward.”

The Old Testament in Seven Sentences

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Communicating the essence of the Old Testament to the Christian believer is a challenge. Christopher Wright has creatively met the challenge, summarizing its major themes under seven simple headings. These headings, beginning with creation and concluding with Psalms and Wisdom, lay out in easy-to-remember terms the history of salvation as it exists in the Old Testament and as it is fulfilled in Christ. With this as a guide, readers will find their way through an exciting but daunting journey, finding out how Jesus is the completion of the hope of Israel.”
