A New Song

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I will be recommending this book to students and scholars alike!”

How to Read the Psalms

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this updated introduction to the Psalms, Longman offers readers a solid foundation for understanding and appreciating these beloved Scriptures. In addition to learning about important facets of the Psalms, such as genre and poetics, readers have an opportunity to see interpretation of the Psalms modeled, and even test their understanding with exercises for each chapter. I will be recommending this book to my students, church members, and everyone who wishes to explore this 'mirror of thesoul'!”

Reading the Old Testament as Christian Scripture

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is one of those textbooks that won’t be discarded at the semester’s end but will be cherished as a valuable, lifelong resource. Gignilliat and Thomas introduce readers to the ‘lay of the land’ of the Old Testament, with a host of colorful charts, maps, and artwork. They also take readers beyond the typical boundaries of introductory textbooks by showing how the Old Testament texts echo through the canon and into reception history and theological discourse. This resource is a gift for both the classroom and the church!”

Reading Wisdom and Psalms as Christian Scripture

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Reading Wisdom and Psalms as Christian Scripture has made me fall in love with these formative books more than ever before! With attention to poetics, historical context, and intertextuality, Ansberry shows how each book offers a unique vantage point of ‘faith seeking understanding.’ He introduces readers to key interpretive and theological issues, both historical and contemporary, inviting them into an ancient and global conversation with those who desire to know and fear the Lord.”
