Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Jesse Nickel gives a clear and convincing argument that the gospels present Jesus as a peacemaker. Not only this, but Nickel also connects Jesus's anti-violence posture to that of the Christian. The result is an exegetically based challenge for the church to put peace at the center of Christian identity and practice. This study has a rare combination of implications; it contributes to gospel scholarship while also offering practical implications for the church today.”
Beyond the Greek New Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Botner’s premise is that reading beyond the Greek New Testament equips you to read it more skillfully. This book provides an incredible incredible spread of texts to do just that, with readings from the Septuagint, the Apostolic Fathers, Jewish and Greek historians, and Greek poets. Even more, Botner demonstrates his own skill by providing masterful introductions, notes, and glosses. Anyone who picks up this book will have an exceptional resource for improving their Greek. It should be a standard textbook for any advanced Greek class.”
Theology
“This brilliant book is impressive not only in its methodological and exegetical depth but also in its practical substance. Lau powerfully unpacks Paul's Christ-centered concept of shame and demonstrates that it is an essential emotion for moral formation--and he does so with great sensitivity to the complexity of shame and shaming in our culture today. Scholars and pastors alike will be indebted to Lau for his careful and insightful work.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A superb one-stop shop for students looking for resources that open up the New Testament world and its writings.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“How Then Shall We Read? is a fresh, inviting guide that helps readers move beyond easy assumptions and step into a richer, more honest engagement with Scripture. Max Botner blends clarity, depth, and pastoral warmth as he shows how interpretation, theology, history, and community come together to form faithful readers. It’s a book that doesn’t just teach you how to read the Bible—it helps you love it more deeply.”
Preaching & Worship
“In Season is a unique gift to all students of Scripture. . . . Rich with contextual and metaphorical gems, packed with persuasive power, and laced with contemporary relevance, Johnson’s special collection of sermons spans the range of his career. Over and over, with each sermon, Johnson sparked my imagination to see the world of Scripture as my world—our world—where God is living and active to transform us. I will treasure this little book.”
Fiction
“Adam Winn uniquely and subversively contributes to historical Jesus research through this compelling story about the events leading up to Jesus' death. Through the eyes of a varied cast of characters, Adam illuminates Jesus' historical, social, and political world and challenges some conventional understandings of the Gospels. If you are interested in engaging your theological students, pastors, or congregations in issues and questions surrounding the study of Jesus and the Gospels, you should get this book.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“With his customary literary verve, C. Clifton Black has delivered a stunning exegetical and theological reading of the Gospel of Mark. Black shows that Mark exercised exquisite control over the traditions he received and delivered a surprising yet coherent message for Christian audiences of all ages. This volume marks something of a watershed in Markan studies (and much else).” —Francis J. Moloney, SDB University of Divinity, Melbourne“Mark’s Gospel by Clifton Black is a gold mine for anyone who wants to know anything about the second Gospel. It is rare to find such a breadth of topics in one volume, but unsurprising because Black has been sitting with Mark for decades. Every essay is marked by Black’s trademark balance of careful, critical scholarship and clear, beautiful writing. Whether you are a teacher, preacher, or student of Mark, this will be essential reading.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Bauckham takes us on a remarkable journey along the anxious path of his failing eyesight. He leads us to a vista where God’s providential care illuminates the experience of grace in weakness and results in the call to a life of thanksgiving. The book is striking in its vulnerability and clarity, as it weaves together the warp of human experience with the weft of scriptural study, theological reflection, and poetical imagination. The result is a rich tapestry that displays God’s loving care, to encourage and challenge anyone who reads.”
The Jesus You Really Didn’t Know
“Few topics are as difficult to negotiate as Jesus’ teachings on judgment and forgiveness. Yet Andy Angel has produced a remarkably accessible book that shows how these teachings fit together. I especially appreciate Angel’s informed reading of Matthew’s Gospel, and his genuine, pastoral concern that Christians reflect the Lord Jesus in their lives and communities. He convinces us that the Jesus we think we don’t want to know—who preaches obedience and judgment, forgiveness, and grace—is actually the Jesus we really need and have really wanted to know all along.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Wright’s careful exposition of the Lord’s Prayer effectively joins exegetical study to theological reflection and spiritual practice. Both detailed and accessible, this book presents the prayer within the contexts of Jewish Scripture and tradition as an example of ‘divine pedagogy.’ On nearly every page, I encountered fresh insights about how, through his prayer, Jesus teaches about God, himself, and disciples then and now. A must-read for all students of Scripture.”
The New Testament in Its World
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“From beginning to end, Tom Wright and Mike Bird relentlessly orient the study of the New Testament to questions of faith, transformation, worship, and mission. Not only does the book assemble Tom’s massive scholarship in one volume, but also integrates it with the concern of his ministry as Bishop of Durham, to serve the church. If you are invested in the development of theological students, pastors, and congregations, you should get this book. In fact, no matter what your view, you will find much to benefit you, from discussions of primary texts to practical examples.”
