“Mark Boda has shown himself to be a master of exegetical analysis and theological reflection. He traces repentance in both its relational and behavioral dimensions, both of which call for faith and trust. As he unfolds the richness of biblical teaching about repentance and its significance, we are called again to 'return to the Lord.' Pastors will be motivated by this book to engage their congregations in a study of repentance and a recommitment to it.”
A Guide to Biblical Commentaries and Reference Works, 11th Edition
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In this up-to-date resource for students, pastors, and academics, Evans exceeds what is available through other similar volumes and through the internet by virtue of his balanced and judicious annotations. I recommend it highly!”
Science & Faith
“This is a well-written, insightful, and accessible book with pitch-perfect and well-balanced tone. I couldn’t help but to be drawn into the stories that punctuated the treatment.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Schmutzer's capable hands guide the reader through a close reading of selected texts in Genesis 1-11 that will reward the efforts of anyone who desires to unpack all the literary and exegetical details of the foundational Creation Mandate from a position of believing criticism. In the process he provides a model of exegetical theology for those who want to understand the text on its own terms rather than wielding advocacy readings to 'subdue and rule' the text of Genesis.”
Can a Scientist Believe in Miracles?
Science & Faith
“In this concise volume readers will encounter a remarkable array of topics relating to science, faith, theology, and philosophy that any thinking person should welcome. Hutchinson fields the questions capably and offers thoughtful answers that will provide stimulating insights on these fundamental issues. The book will arm Christians to confront their own deepest questions and those pressed on them by an unbelieving world. It will also provide non-Christians with a sound entryway into the rationale of Christian belief.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A welcome and masterful presentation of how Genesis has been interpreted through the ages. Be prepared to have your mind stimulated by expanded views of hermeneutics and a close reading of the text.”
Encountering the Book of Isaiah
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The book of Isaiah is easy to get lost in, so having a knowledgeable guide can be crucial. Bryan Beyer has provided just such a service in this accessible tour of one of the most complex and magisterial books of the canon. His judicious discussions show a depth of knowledge and a balanced assessment of difficult issues. The student of Isaiah will find the book opened up in ways that will promote scholarship as well as faith.”
Science & Faith
“I was stretched by this book and found myself sometimes arguing with it and at other times enthusiastically affirming it. We need to do more creative thinking about science, tradition, theology, and the Bible, and as the authors affirm, we have to do that as it has always been done when done well—as a community of God’s people seeking to be faithful interpreters. We will have to take risks, as the authors and editors of this volume do, even as we constrain ourselves to the fundamentals that must not be undervalued or dismissed. This book salted my thinking with new ideas and sailed into what, for me, were some uncharted waters. Such mind-stimulating and faith-affirming contributions should be welcomed for thorough sifting as we work together to address the issues that so desperately cry for our attention.”

“This book is a scholar's gift to the church. Block's ability to analyze and synthesize the biblical texts is surpassed only by his passion in challenging us to fresh insights. Biblical scholars and theologians will appreciate his thorough study. Pastors and other worship leaders will wonder how they ever got along without it. We are all in his debt.”

“Any preacher will find in this volume sound scholarship bred of wide research, as well as clear communication of the scriptural message. Kuruvilla attends not only to the cultural context and the details of Hebrew text, but also to the theological message and the modern context. I am excited that pastors will have this sort of resource ready to hand.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Readers will find in this compact volume a judicious introduction to the prophets of the Old Testament. The inclusion of compositional, historical, rhetorical and theological perspectives will serve well to provide an up-to-date and easily understood survey of the most relevant material. The hermeneutical tips allow easy access to prophetic literature, which is sometimes considered obscure and is often misunderstood or distorted, and a section on preaching the prophets completes the circle. This is therefore a welcome addition to the field that I plan to put to frequent use.”
Old Testament Cosmology and Divine Accommodation
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“By engaging with relevance theory, Hilber has provided a dimension of comparative studies that was both lacking and sorely needed. This approach will help readers to understand the concept of a cognitive environment and how important it is for interpreting not just the opening chapters of Genesis, but the entire Bible. . . . Hilber’s judicious balance is evident throughout the book and his insights will become a fundamental aspect of my writing and teaching. Brilliant!”
Theology
“Hansen’s years of teaching internationally have taught him the value of presenting theology through the acceptance of paradox, rather than systematically trying to resolve all the mysteries. We can all benefit from this fascinating and enlightening perspective.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This book represents the fruition of Sandy's many years of careful study and thinking on the commonly misunderstood topic of prophetic language. I have benefited from his insights over the years and am delighted to see his work finally made available to a wider audience. Students of the Bible who have been baffled by the prophetic texts of Scripture and their many interpretations will find great relief and helpful guidance in this book. Sandy's presentation makes excellent use of illustrations from the English language to guide the reader in understanding the language of prophecy. The resulting explanations enable the reader to bypass popular sensationalism and reclaim the biblical prophecies as God's Word.”
Recruiting the Ancients for the Creation Debate
Theology
“I found Brown’s book instructive and informative for evaluating my own use of Christian writers of the past ages as well as providing essential methodological insights for considering how others have employed the traditional Christian authorities in their arguments. We would all do well to sharpen our techniques of historical evaluation under Brown’s guidance.”
Reformed Theology and Evolutionary Theory
Science & Faith
“No matter what perspective readers come from, they will appreciate the frank honesty and refreshing sensitivity demonstrated in this book. The set-up is inviting, the execution impressive, and the conclusions compelling, all supported by research that was both wide and deep. The combination of unapologetic faith and open-minded thoughtfulness charts an important path forward as Van den Brink has demonstrated a clear grasp of both science and theology. On the rare occasion I found reason to disagree with his conclusion, his discussion was stimulating enough to prompt me to think through my position again. With this book, Van den Brink emerges as one of the most important voices in this conversation; I will be recommending it widely.”
Science & Faith
“In the modern conversation about science and Scripture we can easily get the impression that throughout history Christian interpreters spoke with a clear and unanimous voice, upholding Scripture against science. This book not only gives us a clear understanding of the view of the cosmos found in the ancient world and in Scripture, it helps us see the many issues that biblical interpreters have struggled with throughout the centuries. It thus provides important information to help us sort through the issues that face us today.”
