Chloe and Her People

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A stunning womanist reading of resistance of Paul’s 1 Corinthians. Mitzi J. Smith has brilliantly choreographed and conducted this conversation about an ancient text, its patent dangers and continual reverberations, and sent it soaring with her wise, eloquent, and ethically urgent voice.”

Introduction to the Synoptic Gospels

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Pheme Perkins provides an accessibly written, evenhanded, and carefully reasoned guide to major issues in Gospel studies. In economical fashion she enables the reader to gain a sure understanding of the place of Synoptic and apocryphal Gospels in ancient literary culture and in the development of early Christianity. Highly recommended.”

Jewish Literature between the Bible and the Mishnah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A terrific book made even better by this extensive updating. Nickelsburg is a superb guide to this wide body of texts, their literary forms and historical contexts, and why they matter for religious history.... Rarely does the same book provide both a foundational introduction for students to a field of inquiry and make significant contributions to advance that field. This book does just that.”

Mark for the Nations

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"It is a unique privilege to read the Gospel of Mark with Prof. Lars Hartman as a guide. His excellent commentary combines keen erudition in philological and historical matters with a cogent and lively narrative-critical reading of the first gospel. This is a virtuoso performance by a major scholar, which not only gives a compelling and informative interpretation of Mark's Gospel, but also opens up a vital conversation about the tasks and goals of New Testament commentary. Not to be missed!”

Physician of Souls

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Jeanne Stevenson-Moessner summons her deep pastoral experience and a wealth of personal insights to bring the late-fourth-century preacher John Chrysostom's vision of "a physician of souls" to life as a compelling model for multireligious healing ministries in the present-day world. Her reflections on real-life examples at the intersection of religion and medicine today are especially thought-provoking, and compellingly call for a more integrated approach to health and healing.”

The Nine Asks

Church Leadership & Ministry

“An important book that will allow you to discover you. Each agreement invites readers to embrace courage, humility, and accountability while navigating personal, cultural, social, and systemic dynamics. The Nine Asks equips you with actionable steps to be more—more authentic, more purposeful, more true. This book is your compass for transforming obstacles into opportunities and paving the way for a more inclusive and empowered future.”

Wisdom from the Witch of Endor

Christian Living

“What an astonishing joy to hear Tikva Frymer-Kensky’s wise voice reemerge in the summer of 2023 in these pages of her reflections on the “mistress of the ’ob” in 1 Samuel 28. As with her much-loved Motherprayer: A Pregnant Woman’s Spiritual Companion, Professor Frymer-Kensky turns ancient lore into modern jewels of wisdom, wit, and lived virtue. In this newly discovered book, she addresses each reader personally, summoning each of us, and especially those whose talents and worth are continually called into question, to follow the example of the enigmatic ‘wise witch’ of 1 Samuel 28 and strive persistently for uncommon excellence and unselfish benevolence.”
