A People Heeds Not Scripture

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Allusion is an important literary device, crucial to any study of biblical intertextuality. Yet, it has not always been clearly understood and has often been based primarily on the scholar’s intuition. Moreover, literary allusion in the book of Judges as a whole has never been fully explored. Fortunately, Jillian Ross’s significant monograph addresses these issues.”

An Introduction to Ancient Mesopotamian Religion

World Religions

“Tammi Schneider has provided an extremely useful initiation into the very complex world of ancient Mesopotamian religion. Students will benefit from the clear presentation and writing style of the author and will, undoubtedly, be challenged to dig deeper into the intricacies of the various topics and issues that are introduced.”

Ancient Israel's History

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is an outstanding work that will provide students and scholars alike with a fine introduction to the multifaceted issues and sources that are crucial to interpreting and reconstructing a history of ancient Israel. This is achieved through an impressive cadre of scholars contributing their individual expertise.”

Confronting Old Testament Controversies

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The Old Testament is full of difficult and controversial passages. These are often read without consideration of their original, ancient cultural contexts. Dr. Tremper Longman has tackled four of the most controversial topics: evolution, history, violence, and sexuality. Rather than settling for simplistic explanations that will not hold up under genuine scrutiny, Longman has brought many years of study and scholarship to bear on these problems. In a truly marvelous way, he explains these very complex issues with a clarity that will enhance readers’ comprehension. Far from being a mere Christian apology, this book wrestles with the real issues and sheds light that brings about a full engagement. It is a pleasure to recommend this very significant volume.”

Every Promise Fulfilled

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The analyses are refreshingly insightful, challenging the reader to delve deeper into the exciting world of the text. This is certainly one of the most important recent contributions to the study of the Book of Joshua.”

Judges

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Based on solid exegesis of the original text, this commentary makes the literary form and message of the book of Judges accessible, and demonstrates in clear fashion how to preach the different sections of the book faithfully and effectively.”

On the Reliability of the Old Testament

Apologetics

“Eminent Egyptologist and ancient Near Eastern scholar Kenneth Kitchen has produced here a tour de force that questions many of the simplistically assumed hypotheses of Old Testament scholarship while at the same time contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the environment in which the Hebrew Bible was composed. Kitchen's lifetime of study of the ancient context of the Old Testament makes this volume a must-read.”

Reading the Wife/Sister Narratives in Genesis

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The so-called wife/sister narratives in Genesis have been the focus of numerous compositional studies throughout the period of modern critical scholarship. Dr. Hwagu Kang has produced a very important work that utilizes a text linguistic and type-scene analysis in order to provide significant insights into these stories. Kang’s methodological approach uncovers numerous interconnections and subtle differences within these texts and the way that they have been composed that have often been overlooked by scholars. Moreover, his volume naturally contributes to the larger question of the use and development of type-scenes in both the Old and New Testaments.”
