“In this comprehensive, learned study of the New Testament’s treatment of Abraham, Morgan-Wynne shows that the kaleidoscopic diversity of the first-century church’s readings of the patriarch’s life sprang from Genesis itself. Preachers following in the New Testament’s footsteps may tread paths of theological insight and spiritual renewal. By its careful attention to both the early and the contemporary church, this volume helps us all join the ‘ancestor of the faithful’ in the life of faith.”

“Inviting. Informed. Provocative. Eugene Boring’s new book, Deuteronomy for the Church, helps theologically curious readers hear again the most influential book of the Old Testament, not as a dry collection of obscure rules, but as a vibrant quest for a people’s robust identity. He captures the oral nature of the book as it retells Israel’s story of redemption for new generations and explores the contours of faithful life together as a people repeatedly liberated from the forces of evil. In doing so, he helps the modern church as it also reclaims its heritage as a community of grace. By leading us through Deuteronomy as it narrates stories, gives laws, and calls for decision, Boring helps his readers understand that the ancient text can be totally contemporary.”

“Those who have loved the Bible all of their lives, and those who are coming to it afresh, will find here the sweet aroma of the Holy Spirit wafting through the broken places of our world and reviving all of God's children, both inside and outside traditional churches. The third evangelist's work of introducing Jesus to all comers continues in this valuable work.”
Theology
“In this deeply personal yet intellectually rigorous book, Carroll argues that the entire tenor of the Bible calls for a generous approach to human immigration. This book does not shy away from the challenges facing nation-states or their citizens, nor does it seek simple answers. Yet its meticulous analysis of the biblical witness underscores Scripture’s clear call to regard all humans as made in God’s image, subject to God’s mercy, and therefore of concern to Christians of every stripe. This volume is a must-read for everyone paying attention to one of the greatest human phenomena of our times. Carroll appeals to our humanity and our faith, inviting a similarly hospitable response.”

“Today's church often seems disconnected from both the suffering world and from its own sacred texts . . . With clarity, passion, pastoral sensibility, and an accurate, though not technical, understanding of Scripture, Clark invites readers into a world, not as it is, but as it should--and could--be. Read this book. More importantly, live prophetically and with imaginative joy.”
The Spirit of Jesus Unleashed on the Church
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The book of Acts tells the story of the church's birth and growth as a community imitating Jesus in the ministry of announcing freedom to captives and the renewal of all broken people. In this eminently readable, thoroughly researched, and compassionate book, Ron Clark reminds us that the same story continues today whenever believers and searchers engage each other in the pursuit of human dignity and intimacy with God. Like his previous work, this book brings biblical theology to life in practical ways for church leaders and all interested in hearing good news in a new age.”

“Dalit Rom-Shiloni meticulously analyzes the texts created by Israelite thinkers in the late sixth century as they reflected on the moral defensibility of YHWH’s use of mass deportations and destruction. She shows these texts to be deeply interrelated, and in doing so reframes discussion not only of the relationship between theodicy and protest but of the nature of Hebrew Bible theology itself.”
What Is This Babbler Trying to Say?
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“For more than three decades, Michael Moore has shed light on the social worlds behind, and the imaginative worlds within and arising from, biblical texts. Moving from discrete exegetical problems to the life patterns of communities of faith, these essays model an approach to biblical scholarship that says to all, 'come and enjoy this for yourself.' We may all be grateful that Moore has invited us to share the fruits of his labors.”
