An African Introduction to the New Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“world, and they asked and answered Western questions. Recently, African scholars have contributed essays and monographs that focus attention on the African reader of the biblical text. This volume continues that trend but fills an important gap. Now African students and scholars have a resource that addresses traditional “questions of introduction” but also includes profound reflection on how each book of the New Testament relates to contemporary Africa. The church and the academy will both benefit from this magnificent achievement.”

Called Out of Darkness Into Marvelous Light

History & Biography

“In recent years when I have mentioned that I am from the Diocese of Pittsburgh some have responded by giving me a hug while others have (literally!) turned their backs and walked away. What has made even the mention of this diocese so polarizing? Jeremy Bonner's detailed but readable study of the 250-year history of Anglicanism in western Pennsylvania sheds light on this surprisingly important epicenter in the modern story of Christianity in America and Anglicanism worldwide. Most local histories are relevant and interesting to those who call that place home. This volume should be read much more widely, as this particular local place has become a focal point both for tremendous conflict and renewal.”

Reformation Anglican Worship

Theology

“I am thrilled with this clear, concise statement of the Reformation Anglican view of worship in language that is generous and accessible. Michael Jensen makes it clear that the Anglican Reformers simply wanted the prayer book to be God-centered, Christ-centered, and Bible-centered. I hope and expect that this volume will receive a wide readership.”

The Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9–13

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The difficulty of forming a new multiethnic community identity emerging from, but not identical with, the Jewish world and in the midst of a sometimes-hostile Roman Empire was a complex and daunting task. M’bwangi’s study throws light on how the Lord’s Prayer aided in that community formation. This is a stimulating contribution to the field of New Testament studies.”
