A Relevant Way to Read

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Arguably, contemporary linguistics has more to offer New Testament interpretation than any other 'new' methodology. In this excellently-written and accessible book, Margaret Sim shows how insights from relevance theory, a fresh and fast-growing area of linguistics, can illuminate New Testament texts and enhance our understanding of them. I highly recommend it to serious students of the New Testament.”

As It Was in the Beginning

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this well-conducted study of 'new creation' in Pauline literature (including Ephesians), Mark Owens argues persuasively that the Pauline theme, derived from Isaiah, has a wide reach, embracing the anthropological, ecclesiological and cosmological dimensions of the Christ event. This is a thorough and perceptive treatment of an important topic, and I highly recommend it.”

Beyond Old and New Perspectives on Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Born of a Virgin?

Theology

“A thorough and far-reaching investigation of the topic of Jesus' conception. Andrew Lincoln, one of the finest New Testament exegetes of our time, challenges the view that the New Testament offers a single perspective on Jesus' birth, and he makes a strong case for disentangling the doctrine of the incarnation from the tradition of the 'virgin birth.' This book offers the most important contribution to the subject of Jesus' earthly origins in many years.”

Can We Trust the Gospels?

Apologetics

“With his expert knowledge and skill, yet in a remarkably easy-to-follow way, Williams, one of the world’s leading authorities on the text of the New Testament, takes the reader through various lines of evidence supporting the historical reliability of the Gospels. This books shows why it is rational to trust the Gospels.”

Mark

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Tan has produced an exceptionally fine and delightfully written commentary on the Gospel of Mark, which will be appreciated by a wide range of readers, from seasoned interpreters of Mark to new students of the Gospel. This is one of the most helpful and reliable commentaries on Mark's Gospel presently available.”

Temple of the Living God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this outstanding study, Philip Richardson brings fresh light to Paul’s figurative temple language in the Corinthian correspondence by examining it in comparison with the surprisingly frequent use of such language in Graeco-Roman philosophy . . . Richardson’s work reinforces the opinion that Paul was conversant with contemporary philosophical currents and capable of exploiting this knowledge for theological and pastoral purposes.”

When the Son of Man Didn't Come

Theology

“In this major new collaborative study, the authors, all experts in their fields, address the historical and theological problem of the delay of the Parousia, treating it with the intellectual rigor it deserves. The 'Constructive Proposal' they offer neither plays down the seriousness of the problem nor casts aside biblical authority. This book is a must-read for those with a serious interest in biblical eschatology.”
