“Thomas Andrew Bennett has provided us with a well-informed, stylish study of the Johannine letters and their ongoing significance. Passionately confessional, his commentary points to their articulation of major Christian doctrines and ethical practices. John, possibly the author of the letters, the fourth Gospel, and Revelation, summons wavering early Christians to a shared way of life guided by perennial Christian truths.”
A Commentary on the Gospel of John
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
Foreword
“Everyone interested in the Gospel of John—from the student to the pastor to the professional biblical scholar and theologian—has been rendered a great service by the publication of this translation. Uncomplicated, excellently documented, and written with a lightness of touch, Johannes Beutler’s commentary on the Gospel of John will provide a wonderful window for all English-only readers. They can now gaze through it into the exciting world of the best of European Johannine scholarship.”

“Michael Gorman’s book is a major step forward in contemporary Johannine scholarship. Its strength lies in Professor Gorman’s focus upon the all-important ‘other’ in the Gospel: God. Once the dynamism of the relationship between Jesus and the Father is established, the central role of what he calls a ‘missional spirituality’ emerges with great clarity . . . This is a much needed book, appearing on the scene at a critical time in the history of Johannine scholarship.”

“I have had various editions of Anatomy of the New Testament at my elbow since 1972. For me, the balance, logic and teaching skills of D. Moody Smith and Robert A. Spivey, along with the physical beauty of the book, made it the best available introduction for more than 40 years. This Seventh Edition is superb. The addition to the team of C. Clifton Black, one of our most imaginative contemporary interpreters, has led three distinguished authors to write a brand new, and even more beautiful book. It will continue to hold its place at my elbow.”

“With clarity, lightness of touch, and scholarly balance, Edwards engages with the complex debates generated by the Gospel of John. No issue is sidestepped. . . . A treasure for both scholar and student.”
Jesus and the Fundamentalism of His Day
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“William Loader has written the book we all need. In our time of rapid change he looks back to Jesus and the Gospel traditions to find guidance for our approach to Scripture. How did Jesus assess the traditions he received? How did his earliest interpreters? Loader's study points the way forward for all who have a passion for the givenness of our Christian past and the exhilarating experience of the present.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A landmark study. Loader leaves no stone unturned and no significant scholar ignored as he unravels the implications of his insights into the structure of Johannine Christology. Loader's position on John's structure has been widely accepted, but the issues that flow from that structure continue to arouse a great deal of unresolved discussion, all of which can be found in Loader's wonderful documentation. No issue is sidestepped. . . . This book must become the essential point of reference for all future discussion of Johannine Christology.”

“John Painter has brought to bear his considerable skills as historian, literary critic, and interpreter of ancient Christian documents to draw out of the mists a crucial figure from the beginnings of Christianity. Painter's ability to approach biblical, Christian, Gnostic, and other sectarian documents in a fresh, and sometimes surprising, fashioning has produced a significant contribution to the understanding of Christianity's earliest days, and the ways in which early traditions interpreted the Christian church's foundations. A stimulating and important book.”

“Frank Matera has brought a lifelong passion for Paul to this powerful book, directed to all Christian preachers and readers. It is easier to preach on the Gospel stories than on the Pauline gospel. But our preaching will be enriched if we consider carefully why Paul preached, what he preached, and how he preached. The book contains a carefully nuanced presentation of Paul the preacher and the message he preached: the new creation made universally available in and through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Not only does Matera guide all who exercise the ministry of preaching in the Christian church. He also reminds us that we must practice what we preach. Preaching ‘is a ministry of living the gospel one proclaims.’ This sentiment has long been credited to Francis of Assisi: Preach the gospel at all times. Occasionally you may have to say something.”
Scripture and Its Interpretation
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I welcome this unique and much-needed volume. Biblical interpretation in service of the church is necessarily conditioned by the many possible locations of an interpreter, including where she or he comes from geographically and culturally and the interpreter’s particular Christian tradition. This volume gathers outstanding, concerned, and passionate authors from many places and from numerous Christian confessions who introduce the text of the Bible, various interpretative traditions, and the Bible’s relevance for contemporary Christian life. Scripture and Its Interpretation is a unique attempt to cross as many interpretative and cultural bridges as possible and provides rich information for the reader on ‘how the Bible is read elsewhere.’ All of us, from professor to undergraduate student, have much to learn from this book.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Among the many interpretative enigmas of the Fourth Gospel that continue to resist clarification is the statement in John 19:34 that blood and water flowed from the pierced side of the crucified Jesus. Carnazzo's concise study provides an excellent overview of scholarly discussion, from the Patristic era to contemporary scholarship . . . This rich study will guide all interested in a vexed Johannine question.”
Symbolism in the Fourth Gospel
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I have been enriched by Koester's detailed scholarship and beautifully written text.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This book provides a helpful reflection upon an issue regularly noticed by Gospel scholarship: Jesus consistently asks questions, and even responds to questions posed to him with a further question. Outside this scholarship, John McLaughlin's reflections on this literary phenomenon are consistently directed to a popular audience. The pervasive use of the literary form of a question enabled the Gospel authors to present Jesus' rejection of superficiality. This book continues that tradition, focusing on the many superficialities of contemporary society.”
The Rhetoric of the Gospel, Second Edition
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This book is a delight. Clifton Black shares his unique capacities for wit and clarity in coherent theological appreciations of New Testament narratives, read through the eyes of classical rhetoric. His final chapters on preaching may shock—and educate.”
