And the Word Became Flesh

History & Biography

“This volume of essays is a fitting tribute to Michael Casey, whose academic expertise extended beyond the usual disciplinary boundaries. Essays on Stone-Campbell history, rhetorical theory, and pacifism extend Mike's scholarly interests and provide new contributions that will have a continuing impact on the scholarship of each of these areas of research.”

Defending Shame

Theology

“A unique and valuable contribution to the literature on moral formation. With his thorough analysis of the place of shame in Greco-Roman and Jewish literature, Te-Li Lau provides the context for the study of appeals to shame in Pauline literature and demonstrates that appropriate appeals to shame as practiced by Paul can contribute to moral formation. This book is not only an important contribution to the study of Pauline ethics but also a welcome contribution to contemporary interdisciplinary discussions about shame.”

Dictionary of Paul and His Letters

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Thirty years after the publication of the Dictionary of Paul and His Letters, this new edition offers a comprehensive resource in one volume that will be the standard for another generation. Articles engaging issues that have emerged in recent years will be a valued resource, and the bibliographies are a treasure for professors and students.”

The Letter to the Colossians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This commentary by Scot McKnight provides a rare combination of readability, attention to linguistic details, and knowledge of contemporary scholarship on the letter to the Colossians. It is obviously the product of a career of reflection on this letter.”
