Dead to Sin, Alive to God in Christ

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a work of remarkable depth and scale that is informed by contemporary exegetical scholarship and by the richness of historical theology, yet it also succeeds in being accessible to a wide readership. In addition to the expository resources that this book offers to preachers, its sustained consideration of Romans 6 and 7 allows the reader to think through the implications of an approach to salvation that centers on union with Christ.”

Discovering Luke

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Green brings to bear his distinctive combination of theological awareness, literary sensitivity, and historical expertise on the interpretation of Luke’s Gospel. He treats the interpretative traditions of the church with love and respect but recognizes that ‘the grain of the text’ may sometimes run contrary to these and deserves to be traced carefully. The result is a study that is rich and often surprising but always readable.”

Ecclesiology and the Scriptural Narrative of 1 Peter

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Patrick Egan's study is a rich engagement with Christian social identity, as it is represented in 1 Peter. Christology, ecclesiology, and hermeneutics prove inseparable for the author, with the shared identity of Christians always determined by the unique identity of Jesus himself, an identity that is informed by--and in turn informs--the reading of Scripture. The study is as sensitive to the theological implications of 1 Peter as to the critical issues of text and background.”

Engaging Jesus with Our Senses

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Foreword

“An enjoyable and accessible introduction to the sensory qualities of the New Testament writings. I hope that all who read it will find themselves thinking in fresh ways about what it means to participate in God and the world.”

Oneself in Another

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Paul and the Hope of Glory

Theology

“Campbell’s study offers a careful exegesis of Paul’s writing on eschatology and a fresh set of integrative theological reflections, all developed in dialogue with diverse, modern, scholarly treatments of the apostle’s thought. The book will make an important contribution not just to academic activity but to pastoral and homiletical application of Paul’s “hope.”

The Mind of the Spirit

Theology

“Craig Keener's The Mind of the Spirit is a welcome contribution to a largely neglected area of research. While careful to locate Paul's writings within the range of relevant contexts and to read them with both historical-critical rigor and remarkable erudition, Keener never loses sight of the continuing theological vitality of the question. In his analysis, the transformation of the mind that is here explored is never separable from the reality of the Spirit or from the community united by that Spirit to Christ himself. The result is a work of both scholarly and pastoral significance.”

The Origin of Evil Spirits

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This work is marked by several strengths. First, Wright shows an impressive command of the primary and secondary literature. Second, this writer appreciates Wright’s tendency to express cautious conclusions regarding historical and source-critical matters. These qualities are especially helpful in a work dealing with the reception history of a given text. Third, Wright has an extremely helpful discussion of the identity of the nephilim of Gen. 6:4.”—Mark D. OwensLuther Rice University & Seminary “This is an important book that ought to feature in any discussion of the Book of the Watchers, of Jewish demonology, and of the interpretation of Gen. 6:1-4. Wright’s book is helpful in suggesting that the chapters in question may not so much speak of the origin of evil per se as of the origin of evil spirits. This in itself is an important contribution. In addition, the fine detail of the text contains a wealth of helpful analysis.”

The Therapy of the Christian Body

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“We are, all of us, afflicted by sin, and we inflict our sin upon others; the body is indeed sickened by this malady. But Paul does not allow us to despair of the church or to exist as ‘disembodied’ Christians . . . This commentary takes that truth seriously and gives it the place it should have in our hermeneutics.”
