(Re)reading Ruth

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This well-written and easily accessible study of the book of Ruth is a treasure. Tooman highlights the sophisticated narrative structure and poetic features of the book and demonstrates persuasively how reading it intertextually together with the rest of the biblical canon is essential for understanding its message and appreciating its literary artistry.”

Darkness Visible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a very well written, well informed, and thoughtful discussion of Isaiah 14 from multiple Christian angles. Bordjadze’s own readings of the text—in the light of Jesus—are well-grounded in Scripture, and his dialogue with the works of Tolkien is illuminating and enriching.”

Discovering Isaiah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This introductory study offers a balanced discussion of Isaiah with a focus on its historical setting, theology, and Christian reception. Its pedagogical style and lucid structure render it well-suited to undergraduate teaching.”

Jonah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Claassens’s hands, Jonah becomes the ‘other’ who, given a voice, forces us to confront difficult theological and ethical questions. This commentary belongs on the shelf of every Bible reader.”

Miracle in Isaiah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Goldingay has written a concise, engaging, and thought-provoking book on what constitutes a miracle in the book of Isaiah. Goldingay’s definition, which may surprise readers, is well supported by the text, and Goldingay communicates his insights lucidly and with scholarly gravitas. The outcome is an easily accessible yet also very learned study. I can recommend this book wholeheartedly.”

Remember Their Sin No More?

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Despite its theological import, the concept of forgiveness has often been neglected in academic writing. This well-rounded and tightly edited volume rectifies this omission and sheds new and significant light on the topic. I can highly recommend it.”

The Books of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I can highly recommend this carefully researched, well-rounded, and comprehensive commentary. Its close attention to text-historical, text-critical, and literary issues makes this a very valuable addition to the scholarly library. Renz interprets the three books as distinct literary units which address matters of import for Judah living in the shadow of the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian empires, yet he also explores their significance when read within the Book of the Twelve, the wider Protestant Canon, and later Christian reception.”

The Incomparable God

Theology

“This excellent collection of articles showcases Strawn’s deep exegetical insights. Strawn challenges us to ponder God’s incomparability and encourages us to explore how the metaphoric language about God in the Hebrew Bible together fashion varied, often conflicting, yet always wondrous images of God. At the same time, this collection is deeply Christian in character, where many of the articles emphasize the canonical relationship between the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament.”
