Acts and the Isaianic New Exodus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The book is a valuable contribution to a comprehensive biblical theology of the Old and New Testaments and to a better evaluation of Luke as a theologian of salvation history.”

Blasphemy and Exaltation in Judaism

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The book brings new insight to the trial of Jesus and the reason for his being handed over to the Romans on the dramatic night before his crucifixion. Dr. Bock's vast learning and knowledge make it a capstone in research.”

Ephesians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This new commentary on Ephesians brings the reader many new, theologically relevant insights. It will be useful for preaching and for scholarly exegetical work. The author has a clear, consciously conservative position combined with broad learning.”

Jesus and the Eyewitnesses, 2nd ed.

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Fascinating! . . . This book ought to be read by all theologians and historians working in the field of early Christianity. Further, Bauckham's convincing historical method and broad learning will also help pastors and students to overcome widespread modern Jesus fantasies.”

Jesus and the God of Israel

Theology

“Fascinating! . . . This book ought to be read by all theologians and historians working in the field of early Christianity. Further, Bauckham's convincing historical method and broad learning will also help pastors and students to overcome widespread modern Jesus fantasies.”

Jesus as God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Learned, thorough, and provoking. It treats a neglected subject in a largely convincing way. Especially important is the intensive exegesis of the discussed texts.”

Judaism in the Beginning of Christianity

World Religions

“An extraordinary suggestive introduction to the Judaism of the first century, brilliantly written by America's foremost specialist on Judaism, who here focuses especially on Pharisaic Judaism because of the large role it plays in the New Testament itself.”

Paul, Missionary of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A well-written, concise introduction to Paul's activities as a missionary based on his letters and Luke's Acts of the Apostles. The book is full of valuable scholarly information and takes a special look at discussed Pauline problems.”

The Book of Acts in Its Ancient Literary Setting

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“An important contribution to a new and better understanding of Luke's Acts in its true literary and historical context. This work is coming at just the right time, when a change in the older pseudo-critical but (in reality) unhistorical assessment of Luke is becoming visible. It shows that Luke is a real Hellenistic historian writing a monograph about the history of a new messianic Jewish sect called 'Christians'. This group of highly qualified authors gives a convincing overview from quite different perspectives, helping us to do more justice to Luke and to better understand this fascinating early Christian author.”

The Missions of Jesus and the Disciples according to the Fourth Gospel, with Implications for the Fourth Gospel's

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This very interesting contribution to Johannine research shows convincingly the importance of the sending motif for the Fourth Evangelist and the interrelation between the sending of the Son into the world by the Father and the sending of the disciples as preachers of faith and salvation for humankind. . . . A thorough exegetical investigation that leads to practical consequences.”

The Testimony of the Beloved Disciple

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This collection of twelve essays on historical and theological Johannine problems is preluded by a comprehensive introduction containing a scholarly program for Johannine research in the future. These studies will give us quite new stimuli for our understanding of the Gospel of John, for Bauckham illuminates neglected historical and theological features of this unique text. The author demonstrates that in our exegesis of John philological accuracy, profound historical knowledge, and genuine theological understanding must work together to gain new insights.”

Theology of the New Testament, Volume 2

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The two books that I consider the most important achievements of the last ten years are Käsemann's Commentary on Romans and Leonhard Goppelt's uncompleted, posthumously published Theology of the New Testament.”
