Echoes of Exodus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Scripture presents salvation in Jesus Christ through the grammar of Israel’s exodus out of Egypt. Estelle’s book, pulling together the riches of current scholarship on the topic, ably sets forth how the New Testament authors conveyed the wonders of Christ’s new exodus after the theological pattern of the old. Along the way, Echoes of Exodus demonstrates the unity of both God’s purposes and his word.”

Ezra-Nehemiah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Many studies on Ezra-Nehemiah falter on key theological and literary features, including the identity of God's people, the basis for including or excluding 'the other,' and especially the nature of the book's ending in terms of the success or failure of Nehemiah's reforms. Thankfully, Schnittjer's careful exegesis, grounded in Scripture's interconnectivity, opens the way to understanding the sure message and significance of Ezra-Nehemiah within the context of redemptive history. Let this commentary be your first resource on Ezra-Nehemiah!”

How to Study the Bible's Use of the Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“They have done it again—How to Study the Bible’s Use of the Bible by Gary Schnittjer and Matthew Harmon is a fountain of wisdom for biblical interpretation! Modeled on the exegesis employed within Israel’s own scriptures, this book ably offers an eminently useful workshop for understanding how the Bible’s revelation unfolds organically. How to Study the Bible’s Use of the Bible forms a needed corrective to a variety of hermeneutical errors even while deftly guiding readers into the deep riches and beautiful layers of the biblical canon. This book is a must-have for pastors and Bible students.”

Return from Exile and the Renewal of God's People

Theology

“Nicholas Piotrowski has authored a gem. Return from Exile and the Renewal of God’s People is a trustworthy exposition of the Bible’s storyline, filled with beautiful layers and rich connections. This book will prove a blessing and source of joy to God’s people, enabling them to know and enjoy their Bibles more deeply!”

The Art of Narrative Analogy

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Narrative analogy is arguably the central literary feature of biblical narrative. Without an appreciation for this literary device, even seasoned readers will miss the subtle clues and substantial layers that contribute to the Scriptures’ depth of meaning. Seth Postell’s The Art of Narrative Analogy is, therefore, a remarkable achievement and a brilliant tool for understanding and enjoying the Bible. In a fun and engaging way, Postell takes students by the hand and equips them to explore the Scriptures for themselves, uncovering their significance and majestic beauty. I highly recommend this book, which not only is a delight to read but also gives us the lenses to delight afresh in familiar Bible stories as we learn to read them with new eyes. The Art of Narrative Analogy winsomely curbs false hermeneutical assumptions and will undoubtedly revolutionize many people’s approaches to studying the Bible.”

The Open Sanctuary

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Moore has made a very useful contribution to temple studies in the New Testament. His fourfold taxonomy, delineating the spectrum of heavenly sanctuary portrayals in ancient literature, brings clarity to the topic and will surely be foundational for future studies. The Open Sanctuary will open new vistas for many readers on the New Testament’s proclamation of heavenly access to God in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The Transfiguration of Christ

Theology

“Jesus’s transfiguration is a fountain of rich theology and a wellspring of joyous hope for contemplation. In The Transfiguration of Christ, Patrick Schreiner excavates treasures of glory, blessing the church with a sure guide to this momentous and oft-neglected event in the life of our Lord. His book will lead you to the summit of revelation to behold the eternal light of the Triune God in the face of Jesus Christ and the unveiling of God’s infinite love for his people. Read it, and long for the beatific vision.”

The Wisdom of God

Theology

“Matthew Harmon has given us a unique and readable primer on the role of wisdom in Scripture. Rather than surveying the content of wisdom books, he uncovers the function of wisdom within a recurring narrative paradigm in redemptive history. The Wisdom of God offers a reading of Scripture that underscores the worth of wisdom even while demonstrating our need for the one who is wisdom incarnate, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Treasuring the Psalms

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Ian Vaillancourt has written a delightful guide to the Psalms. Judiciously anchored in the latest scholarship, enthusiastically christological, and written with a pastoral heart, this warmly recommended book will indeed enable readers to treasure the Psalms and to sing afresh the glories of the Messiah.”

YHWH Is There

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The heart of God’s covenant dealings with humanity—the goal of both creation and redemption—is the promise that he will dwell among his people. The temple vision in Ezekiel 40–48, which contributes significantly to this central theme in biblical theology, has been largely neglected in scholarship, a gap addressed by YHWH Is There. Grounded in sound methodology, judicial assessment of competing views, and careful exegesis, Grumbles has written a solid guide for understanding the temple vision of Ezekiel as typological and eschatological, gesturing toward a greater fulfillment—as developed in the New Testament. YHWH Is There offers not only a solid grasp of Ezekiel’s prophecy, but opens a window to the panorama of redemptive history and its dawning glory, when YHWH will bring his people to himself forever to dwell with him on his holy mountain.”
