Exegetical Journeys in Biblical Greek

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Merkle provides a 90-day guide that is perfect both for students eager to sharpen what they’ve learned in their classes and busy ministers intent on picking back up what they’ve forgotten. What’s more, Merkle’s five-step presentation helps bridge the growing gap between the seminary classroom and the pastor’s study. I highly recommend this resource for those who want to continue on or return to their Biblical Greek journey.”

From Research to Teaching

Discipleship & Christian Education

“If only I could go back in time and give this book to my former self! To be honest, though, Michael Kibbe's From Research to Teaching still taught the current me plenty. It not only gave this midcareer scholar some really handy teaching ideas, but more importantly, the Lord used it to renew my passion for the classroom, my commitment to excellence in every course, and my overall joy in doing what I do. As in life so also in print, Kibbe is brilliant, honest, humble, and fun, making this book extraordinarily insightful and thoroughly entertaining.”

Paul and the Giants of Philosophy

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Reading Paul as Christian Scripture

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Constantine Campbell’s Reading Paul as Christian Scripture serves as an extraordinarily clear, succinct, and engaging complement to the already brilliant volume Reading the New Testament as Christian Scripture. Focusing on the apostle’s letters in light of the whole Bible, Campbell examines key Pauline themes and theological insights and unpacks their significance for the church today. It is especially refreshing to have a textbook that gets students into the biblical texts themselves as it chronologically moves them through the apostle’s life and letters. I particularly recommend this book for any course on Paul in the academy or class on Paul in the church.”

Spiritual Practices of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Spiritual Practices of Jesus, Catherine Wright invites readers into a delightful place where biblical studies and spiritual formation meet, a rare space that allows for Luke's Gospel and his literary world to embrace. I enthusiastically recommend this book. Wright's work not only expanded my understanding of how Luke's audience would have first heard his Gospel, but it also inspired me to double down in my own pursuit to imitate his Christ in simplicity, humility, and prayer.”

The Tearing of the Temple Curtain

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jones and Hays have written a compelling and carefully argued case that the tearing of the temple curtain at Jesus's death is best understood as God grieving and mourning the loss of his Son. Drawing on wide-ranging evidence from Jewish and Greco-Roman literature, Jones and Hays demonstrate convincingly that first-century audiences would have recognized this immediately, even if modern Western readers have lost that cultural instinct. While the scholarship is rigorous, the book remains accessible to pastors and laypeople alike. This will (and should) change the way you read the crucifixion narratives.”

Uncovering the Treasures of the Apocalypse

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Uncovering the Treasures of the Apocalypse, Dave Matthewson provides expert advice and necessary keys for how to approach, navigate, interpret, and apply Revelation: not only for the sake of understanding its message but also for the sake of putting its truth into practice. To these ends, I wholeheartedly recommend this book.”
