Galatians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this eminently readable and erudite commentary, Peter Oakes guides the reader through the text and argument of Paul's Letter to the Galatians with careful exegesis and theological sensitivity. His considerable knowledge of ancient Greco-Roman culture and the latest scholarship is everywhere on display. He has produced a volume from which not only students and pastors but also professional scholars and teachers will benefit.”

The Crucifixion

Theology

“In this thoroughly readable book, preacher-theologian Fleming Rutledge demonstrates that she is also a fine exegete. She brings recent scholarship on Paul's apocalyptic theology (in particular the work of J. Louis Martyn) fruitfully to bear in her profound and far-ranging theological reflections on the crucifixion. Through careful exegetical study of the Bible in dialogue with a range of interpreters, she has produced a book that merits a wide readership among theologians, biblical scholars, and preachers.”

The Self, the Lord, and the Other according to Paul and Epictetus

Theology

“Gorman convincingly demonstrates that Paul’s use of reflexive pronouns and phrases is an essential element of Paul’s theological and ethical formulations. The detailed comparison of Paul’s usage with that of Epictetus brings the apostle’s distinctiveness into sharp focus and bears considerable theological fruit. This important contribution to Pauline studies deserves a wide readership.”
