I Alone Am Left

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Everyone knows Luke-Acts is laced with Old Testament imagery. And everyone knows the Old Testament figure of Elijah plays a prominent role, at least in Luke. Before reading this work I was content, however, with underwhelming explanations of the meaning of Elijah (and Elisha) imagery that had little impact on the larger Lukan theology. After reading this book, I now find myself wondering how Luke-Acts could actually be understood without Otten’s thesis. . . . I myself will never read Luke-Acts the same way again. . . . Otten’s scholarship is thorough, his argumentation clear, and his prose engaging. All Gospel scholars, let alone Lukan specialists, owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Otten for this contribution to our understanding.”

Mapping the Origins Debate

Science & Faith

“It's about time a book like this hit the market! No caricatures of 'them,' no hackneyed stereotypes of 'the other side,' this is an honest assessment of where the debate lies. Although an expert himself, Dr. Rau shows his seasoned pedagogical skills and does not lose nonspecialist readers in unnecessary technical jargon. If you've suspected that there are more options than just creationism or philosophical materialism, this book is for you.”

The Royal Priesthood and the Glory of God

Theology

“With the recent surge in biblical-theological studies, especially thematic developments across the canon, it is a little surprising that the theme of priesthood has not received more attention. David Schrock’s work fills this gap beautifully! Specifically, this book probes the significance of the priesthood for a precise understanding of the gospel, as well as our own calling as royal priests through Jesus. Essential reading on this major biblical theme!”
