Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Embodiment is the key to this bold new approach to analyzing biblical texts. Relevant theoretical foundations for Embodied Performance Analysis are fleshed out by video recordings of a live performance interpretation of Paul’s Letter to the Romans. Critical reflection elicits the embrace that is so central to the letter and allows it to speak afresh in our time. Sarah Agnew offers us a method that will transform both biblical scholarship and congregational audiences.”

“Thanks to this careful study, readers and commentators of the book of Revelation can no longer overlook its origins as a work composed for performance. Using an eclectic toolbox of methods, Autry has paved the way for others to apply those tools and discover the oral foundation of biblical books that were composed to be heard out loud, not silently read.”
The Future for God's People in a Conflict-Ravaged World
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This volume crosses the divide between academy and church, offering a scholarly commentary on the biblical book of Daniel as well as a guide for studying it that would be useful to clergy and theologically astute congregations. I wholeheartedly endorse this work.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This timely theological reading of the Twelve attends to the long impact they have had: in their original context; as practiced by Jesus of Nazareth; as read by New Testament authors; and in light of the concerns of our own time. It is an accessible introduction to the Twelve that adds more—highlighting key texts and themes arising in individual books and pointing out the connections that hint at their preservation as an anthology. Authors Bartholomew and Thomas, like prophets of old, listen for the voice of God. This volume is no mere academic exercise but will shape faithful action in its readers.”
