A Biblical-Theological Introduction to the Old Testament
Theology
“For many Christians, the Old Testament is like a thousand pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Where do you start? It helps to look at the box top and see how it all fits together. That’s what these superb teachers of the church do in this insightful book.”
A New Testament Biblical Theology
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“It is tempting to confess that dogmaticians merely rummage around in the mines of biblical theologians. With this volume, the quarry has been enlarged and deepened, exposing the richest veins. I found it to be not exactly a page-turner, but rather on almost every page I discovered another spot at which to linger before moving on. Drawing on decades of exegetical research and teaching, A New Testament Biblical Theology exists at the intersection of biblical studies and theology. Carrying on the tradition of Geerhardus Vos, Professor Beale has raised the bar for biblical theology in our day. We will be digesting this volume for many years to come.”
Christian Living
“It’s easy to take the Bible for granted. We know that it’s the Word of God, but do we really? We know which books belong to it and what distinguishes these texts from ordinary religious literature, right? Of course, we know why we trust Scripture and how to communicate that confidence to others, or do we? Rather than take for granted a high view of Scripture, A Peculiar Glory exposes another generation to the source, authority, reliability, and truthfulness of God’s written word. Dr. Piper has written another important, accessible, and wise account of the things that matter most.”
Women
“It's not just Adam, but the male-female relationship that is nuclear to human identity in Genesis 2–3. Kendra Dahl explores the deep structures of this biblical worldview in ways that challenge as well as support classic exegesis. This is precisely the kind of work that we need today for a richer and more biblical understanding of 'womanhood.'”
A Theology of Paul and His Letters
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Humility is an essential virtue of any biblical scholar, but especially—given the contemporary context—for Pauline scholarship. Doug Moo neither founds nor follows fads. While recognizing wider assumptions in the apostle’s consciousness in the history of Israel, he points out where Paul goes his own way, interpreting the new covenant according to the historical advent of Christ. I have found Moo’s work to be a marvelous blend of biblical-theological breadth and careful exegetical spadework. A Theology of Paul and His Letters is the crown of that exemplary approach.”
Fiction
“God is not only good and true, but beautiful—from whom all blessings flow. This book is an extraordinary example of the beauty and goodness of truth. And not just truth in general, but of the one who is himself ‘the Way, the Truth, and the Life.’ I was riveted by every page as the story unfolded in sparkling resonance. I’m sure that your heart also will be lured to our Triune God by the wisdom and art of Among the Vesper Spires.”
Theology
Foreword
“Christ is the center of this, as all of Stott's other writings and sermons. . . . This book reminds us that wherever we land on the issues related to spiritual gifts, the primary role of the Holy Spirit is to witness to Christ and to equip the church as the witness to Christ, 'that in everything he might have preeminence' (Colossians 1:18).”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“We not only read the Bible; the Bible reads us, challenging familiar assumptions about “the way things are.” A careful scholar of both “horizons,” Watkin guides us upstream from politics and culture wars. This isn’t just another survey or apologetic for a biblical worldview. Rather, Watkin provides a fascinating and bracing exploration of key points at which the biblical story calls into question fundamental preunderstandings we take for granted even before we “engage the culture.” Biblical Critical Theory doesn’t just give us answers; it helps us to come up with better questions. The components aren’t new, but the way he’s put it all together offers an innovative and immensely fruitful paradigm.”
Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church
Theology
“Usually, you have to go to different sections of the bookstore to find good books on biblical theology, systematic theology, ministry, the church, and the Christian life. At the very least, the relationship between theory and practice seems strained. However, this book brings these concerns together. Michael Lawrence believes that good shepherds are theologians and good theologians are shepherds. For anyone who believes that theology needs the church and the church needs theology, this will be a welcome resource. For anyone playing with the idea, it will be a compelling one.”
Theology
“What I often mean by the word ‘blessed’ is not even close to what Christ secured for us. If you want to know how much better, read this book.”
Theology
“In Bound Together, Chris Brauns cleverly unpacks two key theological concepts—union with Christ and original sin—and manages to explain them in a way that readers of any level and experience can understand. Highly recommended.”
Theology
“This book fills a lacuna in evangelical scholarship. Rarely does academic specialization in canon studies converge with thorough commitment to biblical authority. In this work, close evaluation of the history of approaches to the canon is matched by a richly theological interpretation of what it means to call Scripture our ‘canon.’ Careful, accessible, and wise in his explorations, Michael Kruger has given us a gift that will keep on giving for generations to come.”
Apologetics
“At last, a positive defense of the truth of Christian uniqueness that is accessible to the average reader. No longer can we assume that the Christian claims are understood or accepted as "givens" even in our own evangelical circles, and Dr. Lutzer doesn't take anything for granted. Serious in its research, probing in its arguments, reasonable in its treatment of objections, and warm in its devotion to Christ . . . must reading for every pastor or layperson committed to communicating Christ as the world's only hope.”
Christ as Centre and Circumference
Apologetics
“What makes J. W. Montgomery tick? What has driven him over a massively productive career to such wide-ranging interests as computers and Chemnitz, legal theory and apologetics, human rights and Christology, Dawkins and Duchamp? The answer is clear: the gospel of Jesus Christ and its defense, articulation, and application to the real world in which the Word became flesh, died, and rose again as the Savior. Many of our best confessional-era theologians, both Lutheran and Reformed, were "Renaissance men," but that's rarely the case today. Dr. Montgomery is a glaring exception and this book is a wonderful display of that full scope of his remarkable insights. While being an ardent defender of the Lutheran confession, he is far from parochial. Even in places where one might disagree, the clarity, logic, and relentless rigor of his arguments will kindle fires in hearths that we didn't even know we had and make us better advocates for the gospel.”
Theology
“Deeply informed by biblical studies as well as the history of doctrine, van der Kooi and van den Brink engage a wide range of conversation partners and offer a crucial perspective for ecumenical conversation.”
Christian Faith in the Old Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Steeped in decades of close attention to the Book of Hebrews, Gary Cockerill approaches the Old Testament as the promise leading to fulfillment in Christ. For all of us who believe that the Old Testament should be read the way Jesus and the apostles interpreted it, Christian Faith in the Old Testament is a gold mine.”
Theology
“Gathering the jewels of scriptural teaching as well as a glittering array of sources across the centuries, Kapic gives us here a masterpiece. Deconstructing familiar dichotomies, this is the most edifying exploration of the Christian life I have seen in a long time. Let Kapic show you the riches of Christ for you and in his body, the church.”
Theology
“If there is no greater blessing than the forgiveness of sins, then there is no greater ministry than that to which Paul Zahl has dedicated his life. This collection of remarkable essays is a fitting tribute to a great friend and an indefatigable evangelist, in the best sense of that word.”
