Honoring the Wise

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The essays contained in Honoring the Wise bear the hallmarks of the Old Testament scholar they are written to honor: careful analysis of the biblical text, wise judgments, readings with a strong ethical flavor, and pertinent application to the current world. It is not common for there to be such a concord between what scholars spend their life studying and their own character and life, but this is true for Lindsay Wilson.”

Strengthened by the Gospel

Christian Living

“Everyone likes to receive a present! Paul wrote his famous letter to explain and apply the gospel to his Roman readers. That clearer understanding of the gospel is described by Paul as his ‘spiritual gift’ to the church (Rom. 1:11). What better gift can be imagined than to be helped to properly understand the message of the gospel. Rosner’s book is like wrapping paper around this precious gift that is the message of Romans, helping us to recognize Romans as a good gift. He shows that Romans is best read through the double lens of the key motifs of the gospel and righteousness.”

The Future for God's People in a Conflict-Ravaged World

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this second volume, Michael Wilson continues and completes his helpful exposition of the book of Daniel. Wilson is a great communicator, for he has a lovely turn of phrase and an admirable ability to sum up in a few well-chosen words what are seemingly interminable debates over the meaning of the text of Daniel, and so he succeeds in providing the kind of help that readers of the book of Daniel really need. It is a marvelous achievement.”

The King-Priest in Samuel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I have been dissatisfied with the usual explanations of who the promised ‘faithful priest’ of 1 Samuel 2:35 may be, and Nicholas Majors has cut the Gordian knot by proposing that the figures of the faithful priest and God’s anointed in 2:35 are the same person, namely David as he anticipates the promised future king-priest. This is a provocative thesis, but it is thoroughly argued. This rich biblical-theological argument deserves serious attention.”

Unfolding Redemption

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“For too many of us, the Old Testament has no more shape than a dismembered skeleton, a pile of bones on the floor. We need someone to put it back together and show us its shape and function. We may have heard brilliant sermons on a single Bible verse or chapter, even a helpful series of sermons on one Bible book, but until now, we have not received help that we need to grasp the meaning of the Bible as a whole. In this brilliantly clear and insightful book, Unfolding Redemption, Ian J. Vaillancourt comes to our rescue. He takes us through the Historical Books and the prophetic books and enables us to see the Old Testament as one story of redemption that reaches its intended goal in the redeeming work of Jesus Christ. We are in his debt.”

Who Is to Blame for Judges 19?

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With Dr. Tsoi as their expert guide, readers are helped to negotiate the various contexts of the shocking crime described in Judges 19. . . . The ancient biblical context, the Chinese context of the translators of the CUV Bible, and Western biblical criticism are adroitly explored, critiqued, and, through the skill of Dr. Tsoi, enabled to inform each other. The result is both liberating and challenging. This study exposes the evil of violence against women, an evil that the Bible refuses to condone.”
