Dance in Scripture

Preaching & Worship

“Angela Yarber has, for over a decade, studied the intersection of dance and worship by women in the Hebrew Bible. She thoughtfully and insightfully searches out the meanings and nuances of the Hebrew words used to narrate acts of worshipful dance and demonstrates that worship in the Hebrew Bible was active and embodied.”

Introducing Old Testament Theology

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Bellinger offers an innovative approach to an Old Testament theology. First, the three-legged stool analogy of creation, covenant theology, and prophetic tradition provides readers with tangible ‘hooks’ on which to hang the seemingly myriad theological ideas present in the Older Testament. And second, using the Psalter as a starting point for exploring this ‘stool’ provides a superb contextual focus for beginning the study. This volume will be a valuable resource for professors, students, and pastors.”

Memories of Asaph

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Karl N. Jacobson’s Memories of Asaph is an important study of one of the lesser-known collections that make up Psalms. His approach, which explores the intersection of memory and history in the Psalms of Asaph, is an example of the rich multiplicity of ways that scholars read and appropriate the biblical text. I anticipate that this work will provide a valuable contribution to the twenty-first-century study of the shape and shaping of the Psalter.”

Preaching and the Personal

Preaching & Worship

“"This volume provides a much-needed insight into the preaching event. Its title aptly reflects the authors' firm belief that text, preacher, and congregant are all active participants in interpreting and understanding Scripture. Divergent voices have contributed essays, yielding a collection that addresses many kinds of preaching events.”

The Book of Micah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jim Nogalski, one of the leading scholars in the study of the Book of the Twelve, presents an in-depth and insightful study of the book of Micah. While placing the book firmly within its historical setting, Nogalski reminds us of the timeliness of the message of the book for the twenty-first century world in which we live. This commentary will be invaluable for pastors, teachers, and students alike.”
