Christ Crucified

Theology

“Christ Crucified provides a clear, thorough, and knowledgeable introduction to the theology of Galatians. In it, Tom Schreiner leads the reader through every major theological theme in the letter, interacting irenically and thoughtfully with other interpreters and coming to reasonable, pastorally helpful conclusions. This is just the kind of concise, reliable introduction to the letter that students, pastors, and teachers will find helpful in their studies and in preparing to preach and teach this theologically powerful biblical text.”

Colossians Remixed

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This creative and intellectually stimulating understanding of Colossians offers both a fresh reading of the letter in its first-century setting and a provocative attempt to challenge the cultural elites of the twenty-first century with Colossians' worldview. Not all will agree with its hermeneutical approach or its political positions. Everyone, however, will benefit from thinking with the authors about the ways in which the church has become captive to the dominant culture and the ways in which the dominant culture has too quickly dismissed the church.”

Ephesians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Hoehner has placed all students of Ephesians in his debt with this meticulous, exhaustive, and seasoned commentary on one of Paul's richest letters.

The result is a commentary that no pastor or scholar can afford to be without.”

Paul's Gospel in Romans

Paul’s Theology in Context

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a beautifully written study of Paul’s place in early Christianity and a crisp, clear introduction to his thought. It engages the latest scholarship on the apostle without resorting to tedious summaries of what everyone else is saying and, at the same time, supports its own more traditional understanding of Paul with arguments that are fresh and persuasive. Readers may differ on this or that point, but they will find this study clear, evenhanded, and engaging at every turn.”

Perspectives Old and New on Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Stephen Westerholm's most recent missive from the battlefield of Pauline studies will enliven the most dazed student and cheer the crustiest scholar. With his clear head and winsome sense of humor, Westerholm has once again produced one of the most insightful and readable studies available on the role of the Mosaic law, divine grace, and Christian faith in Pauline theology.”

Romans

“Bible study leaders, Christians searching for a devotional guide, and pastors who know the importance of expositional preaching will all benefit from this clearly written, theologically perceptive guide through Paul’s letter to the Christians in Philippi. Lynn Cohick brings not only her valuable expertise in the language and culture of the New Testament to Philippians, but also her Christian experience and mature theological reflection. The result is a clear, helpful guide through this small but rich part of God’s Word.”

Romans

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Anyone interested in studying Romans, or in the history of Christian dogmatics, should read this splendid book cover to cover, and then keep it close by for frequent consultation. Westerholm surveys eighteen centuries of interpretive thinking about Paul’s most influential epistle and does so with the accuracy, sympathy, humility, and delightful bursts of humor that make his scholarship so profitable.”
