Becoming a Disciple of the King

Theology

“What a remarkable gift! Pennington’s Becoming a Disciple of the King bears all the marks of the best and kindest biblical teaching. This book reflects Pennington’s decades-long careful and devoted scholarship on Matthew. More than this, it comes from the pen of one devoted to Matthew’s principle subject matter and graciously serves the reader’s pursuit of Jesus Christ. Becoming a Disciple of the King is absent jargon, marked by the author’s own verve, and shimmering with an energy fitting to the Gospel itself. Pennington’s new gem of a book ranks as a first stop for anyone seeking to come to terms with Matthew for the sake of growing in worship and devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Matthew remains a remarkable museum of Christological painting, and Pennington serves as a first-rate docent. I for one am grateful. Give this book to the people you love!”

Mere Christian Hermeneutics

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“redemptively irresponsible. Mere Christian Hermeneutics calls on its readers to ascend the mount of a transfigured text, to see Jesus just as he is. The church and its members—and academics too!—would do well to go hiking with Professor Vanhoozer up this mountain. Who knows? Perhaps we will be transfigured as well. I certainly hope so.”

Reading the Prophets as Christian Scripture

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Reading the Prophets as Christian Scripture takes a deep yet accessible dive into the prophetic literature. Covering a wide range of material, Tully guides readers through a thick interpretive forest for the sake of understanding one of the Bible’s more challenging sections. The Prophets often intimidate readers. How can we understand unless someone teaches us? Tully’s introduction takes its place as an answer to this question. Students and teachers alike will benefit from Tully’s clear guidance and excellent teaching.”

The Beginning and End of All Things

Theology

“Written in the shadow of personal loss, Edward Klink's The Beginning and End of All Things sparkles with Christian joy and hope. Klink rejects the instrumentalization of creation, where creation becomes an expendable prop for redemption's prior purposes. On his account of Scripture's broad reach, creation and covenant remain necessary to one another. Written with the skill of a scholar and the heart of a pastor, The Beginning and End of All Things should find a happy home in the library of clergy and laity alike. Absent jargon and academic fussiness, Klink's book is a gift of biblical, theological, and pastoral insight. May his tribe of pastor-theologians increase.”

The Lord Is Good

Theology

“Biblical exegesis and speculative theology need each other. Christopher Holmes demonstrates as much in this gem of theological engagement with the psalms. Joining the chorus of Neo-Thomist enthusiasts, Holmes offers a compelling and hopeful account of God's goodness—an account whose aim is to draw the Christian toward prayer and praise. The distinction between essential and relational attributes provides a set of theological and critical tools for coming to terms with Scripture's plain sense. Readers who desire an able guide through the terrain of classic Christian metaphysics, Barthian misgivings about this tradition, and theological interpretation will welcome this volume.”
