Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Foreword

“. . . the fruit of a lifetime of detailed research. . . . There is in fact no replacement for 'Crum.' . . . [Later works] stand on Crum's shoulders and will never replace Crum as the foundation on which modern Coptology has been built.”

A Myth of Innocence

“This imaginative book is not just a study of the Gospel of Mark, but of primitive Christianity in all its variegated forms, for which it represents a new paradigm ... It deserves serious reflection and discussion at several levels, in a variety of contexts, by quite diversified discussion partners.”

Commentary on Romans

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Käsemann's Romans is written with a theological passion comparable only to that of Barth's Romans — and Paul's Romans itself! The striking similarities to the doctrine of God's righteousness in the Dead Sea Scrolls are here for the first time analyzed in detail, and the distinctiveness of Paul's teaching disengaged with new precision. This commentary, free of school attachments, is saturated in the scholarly tradition and presents the growing edge of scholarship in a mature and compelling way. It is clearly the best commentary on Romans available today.”

Excavating Q

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Having launched the current resurgence of interest in Q with the publication of The Formation of Q (1987), Kloppenborg Verbin rode the crest of the Q movement as leader of the International Q Project; and now with his masterpiece, Excavating Q, he brings in the harvest of Q studies. This is without a doubt the most thorough, wide-reaching, and convincing analysis of Q, tracing the course of Q since its discovery in 1838 down through its central position in the new dimensions of theology for the coming millennium. From now on, Excavating Q is required reading for anyone wanting to discuss Q.”

Four Other Gospels

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“...Simply breathtaking..., can hardly fail to convince the open-minded. Gospel studies - and hence studies about Jesus and the origins of Christianity - should never be the same again!”

Jesus in Q

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Dr. So is a very careful and thorough scholar. He is one of those very few scholars who is able to bridge the academy and the laity. He is an astute scholar who is able to translate scholarship in very meaningful and significant ways for the individual Christian. . . . I am also very appreciative of his dedication to scholarship, the church, and to the growth of the individual Christian pilgrim. Ky-Chun So is an exemplar in terms of a professor who is dedicated to his students.”

Matthew 1 - 7

“There is nothing else in English that compares with Luz's commentary; it is the best!”

Sayings Parallels

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“For the first time in the hstory of biblical scholarship the apocryphal texts will have a fair chance to present their versions of what Jesus said. Ninety percent of professors don't go to the trouble--much less expect it of their students--to look up apocryphal texts. Our prejudices against the apocrypha have been aided and abetted by their relative inaccessibility. Now they are equally accessible--and all we have to cope with are our prejudices!”

The Formation of Q

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“John Kloppenborg's impressively wide-ranging survey of the various genres of collection sayings in antiquity and his placing of Q within that context have elevated this dimension of the study of Q to a new niveau of sophistication. With its publication, all previous studies of the genre of Q are rendered inadequate.”

The Gospel of Judas

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Marvin Meyer has a track record of a series of serious academic publications that are both readable and reliable, which distinguished tradition The Gospel of Judas continues on the same high plane.”
