“Dearman's commentary provides the most recent deep engagement with the ancient text of Hosea the prophet. Dialoguing with the best of scholarship, the commentary offers both detailed exegesis of the text with accompanying translation from the original Hebrew, as well as general overviews at key literary junctures to orient the reader to the progressive development of the book as a whole. Particularly helpful is Dearman's sensitivity to the social context of ancient Israelite households. He restores the vivid metaphorical colors of the book of Hosea long faded by history. This is a welcome addition to the NICOT series.”

“An accessible engagement with the theological riches of the Book of the Twelve with attention to the best in recent scholarship. This book provides a new starting point for all those interested in the message of these (clearly more than) ‘minor’ prophets.”
The Fear of the Lord Is Wisdom
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Longman once again makes the riches of the Old Testament accessible to readers today. After unpacking the core texts related to the wisdom tradition in the Old Testament, he highlights key features that prepare us to read these texts theologically with greater sensitivity to their historical and canonical contexts.”

“In The Historical Writings, Lamb and Leuchter have provided an accurate, honest, and wise account of the key interpretive issues related to the historical books of the Hebrew Bible. This volume helpfully orients its readers to the major issues while providing further opportunity for a closer reading of the details of these texts. It sets the standard for a new generation of introductions to the Bible.”

“Finally in one place, the learned reflections of a sage who consistently focused his exegetical gaze over the past four decades on one of the masterpieces of biblical literature. This collection opens up the riches of the book of Isaiah, providing historical, literary, and theological insights that cannot help but prompt further research and proclamation.”

“Carroll takes us to the heart of the ancient prophetic message, focusing on justice, worship, and hope. The power of this book lies in the dialogue it creates between ancient and contemporary prophets. As readers we are constantly forced to consider the message of the prophets in light of present realities, and the response demanded echoes that of the prophets themselves: nothing short of repentance.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This new primer on the Minor Prophets provides the kind of orientation that is needed to engage with and embrace the message of these timely Old Testament books. This work is historically accurate and rhetorically sensitive, and yet builds the necessary theological framework for listening anew to these prophetic words in their inscripturated form for our present generation. Prepare to be challenged!”
The Persuasive Portrayal of David and Solomon in Chronicles

Foreword
(wrote the foreword)
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In The Prophet and the Sage, Brian Koning facilitates a deep conversation long overdue. Separated by canonical boundaries for millennia, Job and Habakkuk have striking connections that are highlighted within this volume, providing insights for reading both texts. The result is a richer understanding of Scripture, especially the voice of suffering and protest and the theological implications for life in all eras both ancient and modern.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Modern readers of the biblical prophets are drawn to their honest, vividly presented messages but can easily get lost in the flow of their presentation. Andrew Abernethy's The Prophets provides trustworthy guidance for such readers, supplying historical and literary context to help readers hear afresh the message of each section in the prophets. This guidance always moves toward the theological, releasing the incredible riches of these ancient books for life today. This is a great starting point for the study of the Old Testament prophetic books.”
The State of Old Testament Studies
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The State of Old Testament Studies is now required reading not only for those entering this contemporary field of research but also for those wanting to ensure that they are up to speed on the latest developments.

Be prepared for new insights into how the riches of the Old Testament can be assessed and accessed. An essential resource.”

“Here is a book well worth reading. The authors provide a masterful road for the average reader who wishes to understand the teaching of major Old Testament themes, their understanding by the writers of the New Testament, and their essential meaning for today. From creation to the digital age, we are introduced to the great works of God and the means by which we can interpret this largest part of the Bible as a valuable resource in our faith and life.” —Richard S. Hess, Professor of Old Testament, Denver Seminary “Biblical Theology at its best . . . Firmly rooted in the witness of Scripture, focused on Christ, connected to contemporary faith and life.”
