Do We Need the New Testament?

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The early church's problem with the Old Testament was completely different to ours. Their problem was not how to make sense of the Old Testament given the coming of Jesus, but the reverse: Given that the Old Testament is God's revelation, how do we make sense of Jesus? With this unusual question, Do We Need the New Testament?, Goldingay turns our modern thinking on its head and exposes the weaknesses in the way contemporary Christians understand the Old Testament—and the New. With thought-provoking ideas on every page, this book will help readers look at the Old and New Testaments in new and exciting ways.”

Numbers

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Despite containing some of the most memorable texts of the Old Testament—the priestly blessing, the manna, the spies, the bronze serpent, Balaam and his donkey—Numbers is often avoided by modern readers. Altmann and Peres interpret this intriguing and beautiful book with historical and theological sensitivity, explaining its unfamiliar concepts and unravelling its difficulties. Pastors, teachers, and missionaries, among others, will find it a sure-footed guide to the contemporary understanding of this text.”

That I May Dwell among Them

Theology

“I’d not intended to read this book through in a single sitting, but it is that engaging and compelling. . . . This book provides Christian laity and clergy with a way of understanding these chapters as part of holy Scripture. I recommend That I May Dwell among Them as an exegetically and theologically sure-footed treatment of the priestly material of the Bible.”

The Vine and the Son of Man

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“An engaging and persuasive study. Andrew Streett demonstrates that Psalm 80 had a much greater impact upon the writers of the New Testament than recognised hitherto. The Vine and the Son of Man is an important work that should be required reading for everyone interested in the relationship of the Old and New Testaments.”

Wisdom for Faithful Reading

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Evangelical pastors and church leaders will appreciate John H. Walton's Wisdom for Faithful Reading. Irenic and thoughtful, Walton introduces principles for how to read the Christian Old Testament faithfully. Anyone who reads this book will come away with a better sense of how to read Scripture and an appreciation for its beauty and richness.”
