Living in the Language of God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Bailey has composed a short but engaging apology for the significance of The Book of the Twelve for a church today that finds itself alienated and in crisis. Drawing on recent biblical scholarship that views the Twelve as an intended unity, Bailey shows how 'embedded speech' in this corpus is the key to unlocking its theological relevance. Could serve as a great supplementary seminary textbook for a course on the (Minor) Prophets, Old Testament Theology, or Hermeneutics.”

Reading Wisdom and Psalms as Christian Scripture

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Christopher Ansberry has produced an aesthetically satisfying and powerfully illuminating introduction from a Christian perspective for a typical poetry and wisdom literature course for advanced undergraduates and seminarians. Not only is it written in easily understandable yet beautiful prose, but its numerous sidebars have gorgeous, apropos illustrations and helpful diagrams. Ansberry’s great breadth is reflected in his use of philosophy and historical theology as lenses for synthesizing and interpreting this important biblical corpus.”

The Old Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This classic, now in its fourth edition, introduces readers to both the nature of the Old Testament and its reflection of the ancient Near Eastern world. It is packed with information, including beautiful maps, insets, figures, study questions, a glossary, and indices. Many parts of the work have been expanded, updated, and revised to make it even more readable and helpful for undergraduates and seminarians encountering the Old Testament for the first time.”
