Jesus the Teacher

“This book makes an important, indeed a groundbreaking, contribution to Markan studies. Not only does it address a lacuna in these studies, but it does so by means of an innovative methodology... that permits a satisfying integration of the Jewish background of Mark's Gospel with its Greco-Roman background while retaining a sensitivity to the literary dimensions of the text as well as an interest in its reader. Robbins has accomplished a remarkable feat... Markan studies are certain to benefit greatly from this work.”

Paul on Marriage and Celibacy

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“What a boon to have this landmark study published in a new, updated edition! This guarantees that the debate over the nature and meaning of Christian asceticism and celibacy will continue to benefit from Will Deming's meticulous arguments and sound conclusions.”

The First and Second Letters to Timothy, Volume 1

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A rich, readable, and rewarding commentary. The introduction is a model of clarity; the commentary proper is filled with theological and exegetical insight. This commentary is certainly the magnum opus Jerme Quinn intended it to be, and it is destined to become the standard English-language reference work on these letters.”

The First and Second Letters to Timothy, Volume 2

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A rich, readable, and rewarding commentary. The introduction is a model of clarity; the commentary proper is filled with theological and exegetical insight. This commentary is certainly the magnum opus Jerme Quinn intended it to be, and it is destined to become the standard English-language reference work on these letters.”

The Temptations of Jesus in Mark's Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“An excellent work, adding fresh new insights to the well-plowed terrain of Mark's Gospel. Garrett is attentive equally to the interpretive options of first-century readers and to the theological interests of twentieth-century readers. At once scholarly and accessible, this book has much to offer.”

The Testimony of the Beloved Disciple

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This substantive collection of essays focuses and reenergizes the debate over the historical reliability of the Gospel of John. With probing questions, methodological rigor, and revisionist zeal, Bauckham challenges the 'dominant approach' at every turn. Whether he will manage to unseat it remains to be seen, but Johannine scholarship is well served by his thought-provoking critique.”
