“A superb collection orienting readers to historical data and debates relevant to ancient Israel--judiciously weighed, accessibly presented.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Gedeon calls for a new vision of spirituality and a renewed role for spiritual leadership by creatively fusing the horizons of ancient Scripture and contemporary human experience. This work of theologized psychology is provocative, forcing all who read to reflect on their own spiritual journey and leadership.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Once again Daniel Block has provided wise perspectives that enable us to 'see with our eyes, hear with our ears, and set our hearts' (Ezek 40:4) on many of the enigmas in the book of Ezekiel.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A fresh, accessible and at times provocative explanation of the enduring relevance of the Old ('First') Testament for Christians. It will challenge readers to embrace the first seventy percent of the canon as truly Christian Scripture.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Bartholomew provides an exegetically accurate, theologically sensitive, and culturally relevant reading of the enigmatic Qohelet. For Bartholomew, Ecclesiastes is neither a dusty museum piece confined to ancient history nor an alien treatise limited to a past religious era. Instead, by combining the best historical, linguistic, literary, canonical, theological, and hermeneutical perspectives on this text, Bartholomew treats Ecclesiastes as a dynamic text that speaks powerfully into the (post)modern context of church and culture.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“"Ironically, by taking the reader on a journey to a world far away and long ago, Ezekiel in Context brings the text of this fascinating biblical book alive. Peterson's sensitivity to the ancient milieu in which the book of Ezekiel was shaped and to the literary pictures through which its message was communicated makes this monograph essential reading for those interested in hearing the original message of this exilic prophet.”
Christian Living
“In his commentary on Habakkuk, Heath Thomas provides an accessible introduction to this short but relevant prophetic book. His theological and interpretive essays orient all readers to the riches of this book and its relevance for the Christian life today.”
Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Jack Lundbom provides helpful notes to introduce readers to three ‘minor’ but significant Hebrew prophets. These notes showcase his well-regarded expertise in the rhetoric of the Hebrew Bible as well as his sensitivity to the intricate connections between these prophets and the rest of Scripture. Readers will find in the reflective questions concluding each section helpful prompts to consider the relevance of these passages for Christian theology and contemporary life.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries

This work emerges from a distinguished career of honestly grappling with biblical texts and provides a starting point for those seeking guidance in how to read Scripture.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Chalmers orients Christian readers to Old Testament prophecy, providing insights into the role of prophets and the books that arose from their ministry, as well as strategies for reading and preaching the prophetic collection. While engaging the best in recent scholarship, this book is accessible to the uninitiated. Interpreting the Prophets is a helpful resource for those who want to hear the breadth and depth of the message of the prophets.”

“Emma Austin's Landscapes of Memory is an invitation to read and reread the text of Scripture in a way that engages with its visual and physical dimensions. Her intimate style makes you feel like you're on your first tour of Israel with the Bible in hand, engaging this unique landscape on which so much of Scripture unfolds.

Living Waters from Ancient Springs
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Honoring a scholar who continues to pursue integration between the theological disciplines, this fine volume brings together deep reflections with starting points at various locations in that exciting space between the horizons of Scripture and culture. These essays reveal the rich results of a reformed hermeneutic for the life and mission of the church.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Founded in deep exegetical reflections and broad canonical connections, Dempster’s commentary draws out theological implications that will challenge contemporary audiences to embrace the message of Micah for faith and life.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In My Salvation Is Close at Hand, Benjamin Giffone provides the tools necessary for preachers in our present generation to engage responsibly with the closing section of the book of Isaiah. These chapters, from what is often considered the ‘fifth gospel,’ are rarely broached in Christian circles, even though Jesus began his ministry by reading from their very core in Isaiah 61. Take this opportunity to read and preach the full context of Christ’s missional text with attention to its message to a community reeling from the exile which provides perspective for all of us bringing the gospel into alienating circumstances.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This volume not only provides an accurate and vivid translation of the text of Proverbs, followed by textual notes and detailed commentary, but also concludes each section with a careful consideration of the theological implications of the text for the Christian interpreter today. Longman provides an elongated introduction, orienting readers to this biblical treasury of wisdom and equipping them to interpret it appropriately in its ancient context. Although it will be consulted by the best scholars, it is ideal for seminary courses on Proverbs and for anyone interested in teaching or preaching on the book of Proverbs for contemporary audiences.”

Reading the Prophets as Christian Scripture
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Reading the Prophets as Christian Scripture invites readers to encounter the prophetic books of the Old Testament afresh. Like the prophets of old, Tully is highly visual as well as creative, with the goal of making the Prophets accessible to contemporary readers without ignoring recent debates and challenging issues. This volume provides a helpful interpretive framework for understanding the prophets as people and books before introducing the prophetic texts from Isaiah to Malachi. A superb primer for those who have always wanted to understand the Prophets.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In Remember Their Sin No More?, readers have the opportunity to grapple with some of the key biblical texts related to the theme of forgiveness. Guided by a group of renowned scholars, readers do not find here simplistic answers but helpful guidance for navigating both divine and human dimensions of forgiveness in Scripture. A must-read for those interested in the conception and practice of this important theme.”

“In The Bible and Spirituality we find responsible exegesis with an eye focused on the spiritual dimension of reading and experiencing the biblical text. This book sets the trajectory for an emerging hermeneutic that reunites the oft-estranged emphases on Spirit and Word within biblical reading communities.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Carroll responsibly interprets Amos’s witness to his original hearers and readers with sensitivity to the social and rhetorical dynamics evident in the text. These same dynamics ensure that the original message will continue to speak as a living word for church and society today. The culmination of decades of deep reflection on this book, this commentary is the new standard for interpreting the book of Amos.”
