A Theology of Paul and His Letters

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Douglas Moo is one of the leading New Testament scholars of our generation, and his many books on the apostle Paul have benefited students and pastors all over the world. This volume on Paul’s theology is arguably Moo’s magnum opus, as it presents an analytic summary of the theology of Paul’s individual letters as well as a synthesis of Paul’s overall thought. Moo has produced here a massive and monumental work on Pauline theology that will teach readers for decades to come. Rev. Dr. Michael F. Bird, academic dean and lecturer in theology, Ridley College in Melbourne, Australia Doug Moo’s A Theology of Paul and His Letters is a book all scholars and pastors should have on their shelves. First, it gives an updated discussion (interacting with the most recent and relevant secondary sources) of all the major topics and issues in Pauline studies. Second, it also gives a sane and very well-reasoned interpretation of the key topics in Paul’s theology. Among the outstanding discussions, as one would expect, are those dealing with the “New Perspective,” justification, grace, and the necessary transformation of true believers. One will gain many insights into various Pauline passages by reading this book (e.g., on various uses of the Old Testament). Even when one may disagree with Moo, he gives an evenhanded, fair, and balanced discussion of debated issues. This, in fact, is a hallmark of the book. I heartily recommend Moo’s work. I will consult it often.”

Exegetical Fallacies

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This new edition of Exegetical Fallacies updates and expands Carson's original book, first published in 1984. Andy Naselli, Carson's long-time research assistant, has done a good job revising the book. It will give the book a longer life, which it deserves. I recommend this book to students, teachers, pastors, and anyone seriously interested in the interpretation of the New Testament.”

In the Fullness of Time

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The first thought that comes to my mind about Richard Gaffin is that he is a reliable interpreter of Scripture. In the Fullness of Time thoroughly demonstrates this point. It balances what Christ accomplished at his cross and resurrection in the first century and how that relates to believers now in their own Christian experience. In particular, Gaffin shows how important Christ’s death and resurrection are for the Christian’s suffering in the present. While many past commentators have focused on the importance of Christ’s death in Paul’s theology, Gaffin explains how important Christ’s resurrection is, especially for Christian living. Those who read Gaffin’s book are in for a ‘theological treat.’”

The Messianic Theology of the New Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“While one may not agree with all that Joshua Jipp contends for in this book, there is much good material for thought, which has been well-established in scholarship. Throughout this book Jipp highlights the key theme unifying the documents of the New Testament: the messiahship of Jesus. ‘Christ’ is not a meaningless name; rather, the name expresses Jesus’s messianic identity. Jipp stresses the importance of union with the Messiah, especially with respect to the Messiah’s people participating in his rule. The resulting book gives a good overview of how the idea of Jesus’s messiahship is woven throughout the New Testament and how it forms part of the skeletal structure of New Testament theology.”

When the Stars Disappear

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Anyone who has suffered, regardless of how much, should read this book. It ministered to me. We are reminded to be honest with God in prayer about how we feel about our suffering by, for example, asking God questions like the suffering psalmists do. But then Talbot places our suffering within Scripture’s overall storyline of creation, fall, redemption, and new creation, reminding us always to try to understand how God is using our suffering to fulfill that storyline. He explains how our suffering helps us better understand our relationship to Christ and his suffering. By continually going to Scripture, he shows us how saints such as Naomi, Job, and Jeremiah worked through their suffering and came to ultimate trust and hope in God about it.”
