An Introduction to the Old Testament, Third Edition

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“As one who has a foot in the seminary and another in the church, I am often asked to recommend resources for the teaching of the Bible in local congregations. This third edition, by Brueggemann—who is perhaps the single most known Old Testament scholar among pastors and congregations—and Linafelt, is an exceptional resource that I highly recommend, not only for seminarians and college students but also for pastors and congregations. It is elegantly written with tremendous insights and is easily accessible. It continues to be highly imaginative and creative. The addition of two new chapters at the end provides the untrained reader with strategies for close reading as well as relevantly bringing the study of the Old Testament into conversation with the issues of our contemporary world.”

Closing Costs

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I am delighted that Dutra has put together this very practical resource. This book is the fruition of his long career of helping institutions explore their purpose and mission for the future. Closing Costs is a wonderful and timely resource that will benefit churches tremendously during this uncertain time for organized religion.”

Shetland Mist

Fiction

“Heather Hammer is an amazing storyteller. Having known her and her parents, it is fascinating to read this family, fictionalized story that her father, Robert C. Leslie, a renowned Methodist scholar and theologian, told her. I was completely drawn into the story and highly recommend Shetland Mist to anyone interested in stories of family, faith, migration, and change.”

The Language of Power in the Simile “Like a Caged Bird”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This groundbreaking work sets a new standard in biblical and Near Eastern studies. With exceptional sociolinguistic and historical insight, it examines Sennacherib’s 701 BCE campaign against Jerusalem through Assyrian and biblical sources. By exploring trauma, resilience, and cultural memory, it reveals why and how the Assyrian Empire and Judah remembered the same event so differently, offering fresh perspectives on conflict, survival, and meaning making.”

White Privilege in Transition

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“White privilege has bred white Christian nationalism here in the United States of America for over five hundred years. In this volume, Choo Lak Yeow takes white privilege head on and names it a heresy when it comes to theology. Writing in his usual affable style, he recounts the damage that white privilege has inflicted on people and provides his theological perspective to why and how all of us need to be healed from white privilege.”
