Babylon’s Cap

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a book of rare compassion, at once scholarly, deeply personal, eclectic, and enjoyable. It opens up a text that most Christian readers would find opaque and impenetrable. And it invites us, as Godfrey says in his opening pages, to 'dream a different dream, to transport us to a different story.'”

Entertaining Angels

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Entertaining Angels takes us on a leisurely journey through a 'tricky bit' of the New Testament. Describing the beautiful, challenging Letter to the Hebrews as 'a masterpiece of faith encouragement,' Godfrey demonstrates its relevance to any twenty-first-century Christian who may be losing heart in the absence of 'signs and wonders.' This book--underpinned by scholarship and Godfrey's wide reading in philosophy, the classics, and poetry--encourages and reassures: hold fast, we worship a Lord who is victorious.”
