2 Kings

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this excellent commentary, John Woodhouse blesses the reader with careful and clear writing that delves into the stories and drama of 2 Kings. He helps us think through how to interpret these chapters in their historical context, and he faithfully guides us to see the stories in light of the redemptive trajectory of Scripture. Amid fiery prophets and a declining nation, the righteousness and faithfulness of God is on full display. If you're studying or teaching 2 Kings, you’ll want Woodhouse’s commentary within arm’s reach.”

Biblical Typology

Theology

“As readers learn how the New Testament relates to the Old, they will encounter the subject and language of typology. I’m grateful for Vern Poythress providing this accessible resource so that interpreters can think about how the patterns and shadows of the Old Testament point to Christ, the church, and the new creation. The divine author of Holy Scripture is summing up all things in his Son. Let Poythress help you identify key symbols and types along the storyline of redemption.”

From the Manger to the Throne

Theology

“The Third Gospel takes us from incarnation to ascension, or as Benjamin Gladd puts it, from the manger to the throne. We need to take this journey with Luke so that we might hear and rejoice in the good news—with Mary in her humble estate, with shepherds in a field, with tax collectors and sinners at meals, with Zacchaeus in a tree, and with the penitent criminal on the cross. Gladd discerns major themes and motifs to help us get our bearings, and he is a faithful guide who has insights to share and Old Testament connections to disclose. The theology of Luke’s Gospel ultimately reveals the person and work of Christ to us. Gladd’s work is clear, accessible, and edifying. Read it not only to understand more about Luke’s Gospel but also to join the angels in celebrating good news of great joy for all people.”

The King-Priest in Samuel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Understanding the themes of kingship and priesthood will enrich our understanding of Scripture as a whole, and in his careful and thorough research and work on this motif, Nicholas Majors is an insightful and edifying guide. He shows the important pentateuchal background of this king-priest motif and how it is heightened in 1 and 2 Samuel. Furthermore, Majors demonstrates that David himself hoped for a greater king-priest who was to come—the Messiah.”

The Mission of God and the Witness of the Church

Theology

“God made us for communion with himself, so we should care about his mission in the world. In The Mission of God and the Witness of the Church, Justin Schell helps us see how God’s mission emerges from the story that Scripture tells. Through God’s power in judgment and salvation, God is displaying his glory in the world he loves. Schell guides us through the panorama of Scripture as he takes us from Eden to the church’s Great Commission. We bear witness to the redemptive work of the triune God, and we long for the consummation of his mission.”
