1 Corinthians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A major achievement, Garland's commentary will take its place alongside other 'big' works on 1 Corinthians (notably those of Fee and Thiselton). The author displays an enviable grasp of the cultural challenges raised in the letter as well as an assured familiarity with biblical and Greco-Roman sources and the secondary authorities. At the same time his text is both readable and relevant. This is a further significant contribution to Corinthian studies.”

A Gospel Pageant

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Allan Chapple has reflected deeply on Revelation for many years and has now produced a book that is simply profound and profoundly simple. If you want to understand and be blessed by the Apocalypse of John, this is the book for you. To my knowledge it has no equal.”

Jacob’s Story as Christian Scripture

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Profoundly erudite yet elegantly written, Philip Kern’s Jacob’s Story faces the paradox of the grace of God operating in the lives of Jacob et al., whose behavior baffles us. This book in effect takes the lid off the whole book of Genesis, but more than that of the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and ultimately the whole canon. Philip Kern’s Jacob’s Story blesses us through his many years of patient, scholarly research and reflection.”

Patterns of Repetition, Structure, and Meaning in the Book of Hebrews

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The Letter to the Hebrews is rightly esteemed for the depth of its theological understanding on the one hand and the complexity of argument on the other. In this study of the ‘mystery’ of Hebrews, Michael Clark has appreciatively analyzed the major efforts of scholars before him, before advancing his own thesis. This is a work of outstanding scholarship that will chart new directions in the understanding of the Letter to the Hebrews.”

Paul's Letter to the Romans

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Kruse's Romans will take its place among the best of the best English commentaries on Paul's magisterial epistle.”

Phenomenal Sydney

History & Biography

“In this astonishingly wide-ranging book, Dr. Cameron reviews the Diocese of Sydney's history with skill, an eye for detail, clarity, and integrity. She points to its strengths, but does not shirk from disclosing its flaws. This is a must-read for those interested in the impact of Anglican Christianity in Sydney on the modern world.”

Salvific Intentionality in 1 Corinthians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Scott Goode has effectively combined the fruits of first-class research (primary and secondary) with warm pastoral experience. His detailed analysis of the text of 1 Corinthians and his engagement with a breadth of scholarship has issued in a text that is astonishing in its insights and practical applicability. A must-read for pastors and pastoral educators.”

The Book of Acts in Its Graeco-Roman Setting

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The results of our rapidly expanded historical and archaeological knowledge have here been brought to bear on the Book of Acts to stunning effect. Outstanding as Jackson and Lake was in its day, this volume on the Graeco-Roman setting of Acts holds out the promise of equaling if not surpassing that great achievement.”

The Letters of John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A splendid achievement and a welcome addition to the excellent Pillar series. The numerous notes on Johannine themes and the helpful attention to the relevant patristic sources are notable features. Comprehensive, thorough, and judicious, Kruse’s work promises to be a standard for many years.”

The Poor and Their Possessions

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“It is good that David Seccombe’s magisterial study The Poor and Their Possessions will be republished. . . . His insights based on in-depth exegesis of key texts and his engagement with alternative views combine to make this work one of rare scholarship. The new edition incorporates subsequent inquiry into this subject and includes an appendix with the author’s critical review of ten more recent studies. Highly recommended.”
