Apocalypses in Context

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Apocalypses in Context offers an accessible introduction to apocalyptic literature, as well as its reception and its aftereffects. The range of topics covered and the essay styles are ideal for undergraduates and anyone interested in knowing more about the persistence of end-times thinking.”

Even the Devil Quotes Scripture

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Approachable, engaging, honest, and thoughtful are words I would use to recommend Robyn J. Whitaker’s Even the Devil Quotes Scripture to Christians wanting to know more about biblical interpretation. Drawing upon her own experiences, Whitaker’s invites readers to think about some of the Bible’s most puzzling pieces, such as contradicting stories and multiple versions of the same story. Throughout the book Whitaker models what she describes as a hermeneutic of love, a way of reading the Bible which privileges listening to others, doing no harm, and embracing compassion. This book will be an excellent resource for anyone teaching the Bible in congregational or seminary settings.”

Jude and 2 Peter

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Mbuvi's commentary . . . offers refreshing insight on these oft-overlooked writings by engaging the text in relation to ideas, traditions, and movements stemming out of the vast continent of Africa. Written with preachers, teachers, and laypeople in mind, these moments of 'Fusing Horizons' are thoughtful and leave the reader wanting more. Mbuvi does all of this while offering solid introductions to the texts' historical contexts and rhetorical situations.”

Rereading Revelation

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is the book on Revelation we need now. Bringing contemporary issues and thinking into conversation with the first-century world of John, Greg Carey offers scholars, students, pastors, and anyone interested in Christian tradition a thoughtful and readable guide to a book that has been used and abused for millennia. Carey’s reading of Revelation is equally critical and compassionate, taking the text’s call to resistance seriously while not letting it off the hook for the misogynistic and violent messages it voices. This is a really great book!”
