Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Ross’s volume offers readers of Judges a more nuanced look at just how the biblical book traces the Israelites’ disobedience to their divine Sovereign. Her diligent analysis of the text reveals the intricacies of the Judges narrative and the crucial role Pentateuchal allusions play at key points in its unfolding message.”
Divine Blessing and the Fullness of Life in the Presence of God
Theology
“Divine Blessing and the Fullness of Life in the Presence of God is an accessible reminder of how the Bible—not this cultural moment—defines being ‘blessed.’ Osborne nicely unpacks this idea and demonstrates its prominence in the unfolding narrative of both Testaments. Readers will come away encouraged and enlightened, with a better grasp on the good life that God desires for his people.”

“What a delightful book! In Engaging the Old Testament, Hernández invites readers into a virtuous and careful reading of the Scriptures. Well-written, honest, and approachable, the volume both forms and informs its readers, so that they may engage Old Testament texts in all of their literary artistry and theological depth. Hernández meets beginning students where they are and provides all the tools necessary to begin reading—really reading—the Old Testament.”
Exegetical Journeys in Biblical Hebrew
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This volume offers what so many students need after they finish their initial Hebrew grammar classes: a guided tour through the biblical text with a skilled, pedagogically sensitive tour guide. Hardy is exactly that. Exegetical Journeys is an expertly compiled Hebrew reader that stands out from so many others by considering carefully a student’s needs and growth as they become more and more comfortable reading the Hebrew Bible.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Five Views on the Exodus offers a thorough investigation of the historical details of the exodus that helpfully identifies and demonstrates the methodological, theological, and disciplinary commitments that fuel an ongoing debate about a formative biblical event. Written by experts who offer a mass of evidence for consideration, this book is an essential resource for anyone entering the discussion.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The concerns this book addresses are not new, but the perspective of its author and this cultural moment are. Flood and Fury addresses these age-old problems with sensitivity to the unique questions of a new generation. And most importantly, Lynch does this by inviting his readers to face these issues head-on—acknowledging the struggle—all the while considering some of Scripture's most challenging texts with care, literary sophistication, and confidence in the good God we encounter there.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Hebrew for Life addresses conclusively the most common questions my students pose about learning biblical languages and provides important resources, approaches, and concrete study habits. The chapter on vocabulary memorization alone is an incredibly valuable resource that I expect to make required reading in my courses. The true value of the book, though, extends beyond its mastery of the mechanics of language acquisition; the authors encourage students to consider the more fundamental issues of the learning process, like setting realistic goals, valuing imagination, and living a life of diligence. Hebrew for Life is the kind of resource that helps to form students into faithful stewards of the unique privilege of reading the Hebrew text.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“As we have come to expect, John Goldingay, in his newest commentary, provides a vibrant and down-to-earth engagement with the book of Joshua, challenging interpreters at every turn to reconsider their assumptions and think about the text afresh. Readers can expect to find stimulating literary, theological, and canonical reflections as they engage anew one of the most consequential books of the Hebrew Bible.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Michael Rhodes's exploration of justice is real and insightful, born out of hard-learned lessons, careful theological inquiry, and humility. He speaks concretely from his life and work—giving his book clarity and power—without straying from the conspicuous and unyielding call of Scripture to embrace 'justice and righteousness.' Just Discipleship sounds its own clarion call for those who have neglected justice as an essential category of discipleship and welcomes them into a conversation about how God's people might be more faithful disciples in an unjust world.”
The Art of Preaching Old Testament Poetry
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In The Art of Preaching Old Testament Poetry, Mathewson offers a master class in powerful, genre-sensitive preaching. Mathewson throws the doors open to any interested reader by providing a nuanced introduction to Old Testament poetic texts in the most accessible language. He offers exegetical insight, preaching strategies, and theological considerations for each poetic book, equipping preachers to engage these challenging texts with confidence and clarity. Drawing on his extensive experience in the pulpit and a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures, Mathewson’s guide is sophisticated, profound, and exceptionally clear.”
The Prophets and the Apostolic Witness
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“These essays offer a range of answers to a foundational question of biblical hermeneutics: How are the apostles reading their Bible, and ought we to follow suit? Here readers have the privilege of listening in as thoughtful exegetes formulate their answer to this timeless question in conversation with others who disagree. The result is both enlightening and useful. Readers will gain not only an understanding of the complexity of the hermeneutical question but also a greater appreciation for the fundamental theological truths that draw the volume's contributors together.”

“Short and sweet but nuanced and insightful, this is the introductory textbook I’ve been seeking. Understanding Biblical Law immerses students in the world these laws actually served, training them to think differently about an oft-misunderstood corpus. Without neglecting the literary norms of Torah, Johnson goes beyond discussing the genre of biblical law to uncover the logic of ancient Israel’s legal traditions. Readers will learn to think outside of contemporary legal frameworks and appreciate anew the goodness of the God who gave this law to Israel.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Worship and Waste is thought-provoking and raw, theologically astute, and refreshingly insightful. I tire of published work that simply repeats what has been said elsewhere. Stulac could never be accused of that. Every installment of his Christological Companion series has pushed me to better reading and better living before God.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Wrestling with Job brings together the experience of a seasoned pastor with the expertise of a premier scholar to render the book of Job relatable and approachable for today's readers. The volume's pastoral voice, sensitivity to contemporary questions, and expositional orientation make it a valuable resource for those preparing to preach from this challenging text.”
