1 Corinthians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Simply put, David Garland is one of the finest commentary writers of our generation. He consistently integrates first-rate scholarly research with theological discernment, hermeneutical savvy, and pastoral sensitivity, all presented in an eminently readable way. The only thing better than a Garland commentary is an updated and enhanced Garland commentary. This one on 1 Corinthians will constitute a ‘go-to’ gold standard on the book for years to come.”

2 Corinthians: A Short Exegetical and Pastoral Commentary

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Anthony Thiselton has time and again demonstrated himself to be a master of integrative Christian thinking at the highest level. In this most welcome volume he applies his extraordinary abilities in the service of down-to-earth, pastoral reflection on Paul's most pastoral letter, bringing the best of contemporary scholarship on 2 Corinthians to bear on life in the twenty-first century. Church leaders and laypersons alike will find in this commentary a gift both clear and timely.”

Acts, Second Edition

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Gerald Stevens has been living in the book of Acts for a long time and has walked the archaeological sites of Luke’s world extensively, both giving a deep, rich foundation for his narrative study of this fascinating New Testament book. Like a craftsman holding up a massive, beautiful diamond to the light, analyzing it from a wide variety of perspectives, Stevens’s extensive narrative analysis yields numerous suggestive insights that push against some of our most commonly accepted interpretations of Luke’s ‘Volume Two,’ benefiting scholar and student alike.”

Advances in the Study of Greek

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Students — and even some professors! — whose experience with Koine Greek has been limited primarily to standard elementary and intermediate textbooks, would be astounded to know the height and breadth and depth of work that has been accomplished on the original language of the New Testament in recent years. We live in a time in which great advances are taking place in a variety of directions, but both the specialized nature of the discussions and their relegation to stuffy conference rooms and technical journal articles, have limited the needed impact on frontline Greek pedagogy. Enter Con Campbell, who has provided us with a helpful overview of the history and most salient aspects of paradigm-shifting discussions.”

An Expositor’s Handbook to the Greek Text of Matthew

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Dan Gurtner knows Matthew, has a scholar’s eye for the importance of detail, and loves preaching the text of Scripture. These qualities come together in this helpful handbook, which, while probing the Greek text at an accessible level, helps preachers communicate powerfully and accurately key passages of Matthew’s Gospel. Highly recommended!”

Faith in Hebrews

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In his book, Victor (Sung Yul) Rhee offers a helpful challenge to push out understanding of faith in Hebrews beyond an ethical view, and even an eschatological view, to a conception of faith that is Christocentric at its core; that is, a faith that not only finds in Jesus its model but also its object. Although some readers will beg to differ with the author on specific points of exegesis and analysis of Hebrews’ structure, Rhee’s approach, showing Hebrews’ Christology as foundational for its hortatory material and thus significantly integrated with the challenge to faith, is sound and will need to be reckoned with in future treatments of the topic.”

“Associate Editors”

Hebrews

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Amy Peeler’s Hebrews is lucidly, beautifully written, excelling especially in rich theological reflection and an uncommon depth of pastoral good sense. Committed followers of our Great High Priest, rejoice! You will find here both an enjoyable read and much encouragement for enduring in the race of faith.”

Revelation Verse by Verse

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“One of our premiere evangelical scholars on the New Testament, Grant Osborne has applied years of his life to the text of the New Testament's most challenging book. Yet his commentary on Revelation is no ivory-tower tome. The rich, deep-rooted research on display here weaves its way through a down-to-earth prose that is at once wonderfully accessible and devotional, sure to stretch the minds and warm the hearts of Christian leaders and laypeople alike.”

Strengthened by the Gospel

Christian Living

“The church today struggles with massive questions concerning how to live and think Christianly in a world such as ours. Brian Rosner’s crystal-clear, careful overview of the theology of the book of Romans can help. Rosner’s little book is both thorough, covering key topics of the letter, and admirably efficient. Unpacking the apostle’s message in an orderly fashion, Rosner shows how Christ followers might be strengthened in the face of world forces that would deform and weaken us. We need gospel strength, so we desperately need to hear Romans afresh, and this book helps us do just that.”

The Epistle to the Hebrews

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Gary Cockerill successfully integrates a thorough immersion in contemporary research on Hebrews with exegetical insight and pastoral sensitivity. This masterfully organized, crisply written commentary pulls together Cockerill's untiring work over the past three and a half decades. I highly recommend it.”

The First Days of Jesus

Theology

“Köstenberger and Stewart admirably unpack the birth narratives of Matthew and Luke along with that beautiful first movement of John’s Gospel against both the grand sweep of biblical history and the nitty-gritty details of first-century events and culture. The result may dismantle a few of your nativity-scene notions about the Christmas story even while building up your faith in and commitment to the Word become flesh.”

The Letter to the Hebrews in Social-Scientific Perspective

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Modern readers too often forget that the sermon we call Hebrews--a powerful, timeless word that reaches to the heavens--was written in a nitty-gritty, socio-cultural context and was profoundly shaped by that context . . . Whether analyzing the author's rhetorical strategy, the demands of gratitude upon the audience, or the shaping of social identity in a religious group, deSilva provides his readers with a new lens through which to follow the author's arguments and assess the implications for 'hearing' Hebrews in the modern world.”

The Tearing of the Temple Curtain

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Some interpretations take on a popular life of their own and need thoughtful pushback from solid biblical studies research. Such is the idea that the tearing of the temple veil at the death of Jesus connotes entrance to the presence of God, a case of right theology being argued from the wrong text. Jones and Hays offer a compelling counter-interpretation that is both thoroughly researched and cogently argued.”
