Shaping Israelite Identity through Prayers in the Book of Chronicles

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This volume offers a close look at how key texts in Chronicles open the door to what makes up Israel and what it should be. At the same time, it offers more than appears on the surface. It also lays out hermeneutical and theological pathways for reading the Old Testament and discovering its message of hope for the future. Such a contribution is of immeasurable value.”

Textuality and the Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Textuality and the Bible represents a serious engagement with the text of the Bible in its various textual witnesses. Within its pages a reader will find reflections at various levels: from grammatical analysis to the nature of the Bible as canon. Shepherd's close attention to the text itself, at various levels, is to be commended.”

The Problem of the Old Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“For the numerous Christians who have ever found a problem with what the Old Testament actually says, this book provides a sympathetic voice, a discerning eye, and an experienced guide. Garrett faces the problem of the Old Testament, sharply criticizing efforts to minimize the problem (e.g., allegory or theological systems). However, this book offers more than an incisive critique; it provides a roadmap for navigating the Old Testament in its historical-grammatical sense as the first part of the Bible. This book offers a true biblical theology, addressing the overarching concerns of the Old Testament with a close eye to the exegetical details of the text.”
