A Lifetime in the Church and the University
History & Biography
“This book is not merely a walk down memory lane with a devoted Christian and a superlative scholar. Rather, Thiselton provides a basis for reflecting on providence, precociousness, piety, illness--and humor.”
Theology
“With over thirty years invested in the topic, Darrell Bock knows Luke–Acts. He knows the literature, the issues, and what is really important. Unlike more abstract approaches, Darrell focuses on a detailed treatment of the biblical text, the narrative of Luke–Acts. He allows the major themes of Luke–Acts to control his approach, and he explains convincingly how these themes are developed and what their significance is. The result is an informative and practical guide for the church and anyone who cares about these major two New Testament books. This is a ‘must have’ for pastors, students, and church libraries.”

“Anthony Thiselton has provided perhaps the easiest and quickest access to the issues in the letter to the Romans and to the relevant scholarship and trends concerning the letter. Few people have the ability to demonstrate the contribution and relevance of the tradition of Romans interpreters throughout the church's history the way Thiselton can.”

Her knowledge of the ancient world allows her to bring historical and sociological information to bear on the text and its interpretation. People seeking an easily accessible and non-technical treatment of Ephesians will enjoy this commentary.”

“This collection of essays does not merely represent Korean scholars honoring their mentor. The essays, which deal with a variety of New Testament topics, provide mature scholarship of the best sort. This is a wonderfully fitting honor for a scholar like Seyoon Kim.”
Theology
“In this book, Fred Gaiser, a first-rate scholar with a pastoral heart, offers no simplistic answers to complex questions about healing, but he will make you think. His comments are sane, balanced, and scriptural to the core and remind the church of its necessary healing ministry.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“For many years Gary Burge has focused on issues relating to Palestinians and the land of Israel. In this careful survey of biblical material, he pulls the rug from under any Christian emphasis on a special status for the land of Israel and from under Christian Zionism. Churches and pastors need to give serious attention to this study and follow its lead.”

Puzzling the Parables of Jesus
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Ruben Zimmermann is one of the leading researchers on parables today. His new book deserves the attention of anyone working on parables, for it wrestles with the hermeneutical and methodological issues involved in interpreting parables and does so in a way that gives access to recent research, especially from Germany. Zimmermann knows the literature on parables intimately and summarizes much of it along the way. The book raises issues especially with regard to interpretation and application of the parables.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This is no typical commentary on 1 Corinthians. Recognizing the importance of identity and with expertise in identity theory, Brian Tucker supplies an identity lens for readers to see with new perspective. The result is a practical and insightful explanation of 1 Corinthians that underscores how much Scripture focuses on identity issues and how relevant such thinking is for theological and missional purposes. This book deserves your attention.”
World Religions
“In our day when the evil of anti-Semitism is rising, Christians need to know they stand on a Jewish foundation and are part of a Jewish story. Jay Phelan tells that story down to our own time and draws attention to the questions and efforts Jews made to live in alien cultures, particularly regarding theological issues such as the role of the law, particularity, and the land of Israel. In doing so he draws parallels to similar questions and dynamics in the Christian faith. This is a helpful contribution and will assist Jewish-Christian dialogue.”
The Beatitudes through the Ages
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Hardly anyone has done such extensive and thorough research on the Beatitudes as Rebekah Eklund. She has provided insight on the biblical text and a wide purview on the impact of the Beatitudes throughout the centuries. In the process, with each Beatitude she provides a walkthrough of church history, an exercise in devotion, and an invitation to consider the nature of Scripture, the tensions in interpretation, and the significance of the Beatitudes for living. If you are studying the Beatitudes, you will find real and impressive help here.”
The Holy Spirit -- In Biblical Teaching, through the Centuries, and Today

“Christians must focus on hermeneutics, and this book provides the opportunity for conversation with a master, someone who has devoted his life to the discipline. Tony Thiselton has done more than anyone to lay bare the issues and the history of the discussion, and his latest offering on the topic focuses on the importance of hermeneutics and the main contours of the discipline, especially with regard to Paul Ricoeur.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The use of Genesis in the formation of Isaiah has been unappreciated, but Teram convincingly shows how important Genesis is for understanding Isaiah. He gives careful and fair attention to the text, and his focus on the reframing of identity for exiles is insightful and relevant for modern readers. Heartily recommended!”
