Did Jesus Speak Greek?

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Scott Gleaves has written a well-reasoned, and quite readable, book on the thorny question of what language Jesus spoke, and in what language the gospels were originally written. Gleaves gives a judicious critique of the Aramaic hypothesis and provides evidence for the alternative view that Greek was the first language for Jesus and his contemporaries. I recommend this book highly.”

Misreading Ritual

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Who would have thought that a book dealing with Jewish practices of sacrifice, ritual purity, and dietary laws could be so engaging, so thought-provoking? Written from a respectful Christian perspective in an almost-whimsical style, this study takes a very careful look at these ritual practices and the various interpretations—both Jewish and Christian—that have been given them over the years. Congratulations to Kaplan for providing us with this readable, revealing work.”

Psalms of Christ

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Dr. Fletcher is a thoughtful, careful scholar whose commitment to the biblical text shines through on every page of Psalms of Christ. Starting from the conviction that ‘the New Testament reads the Old Testament from a post-resurrection perspective,’ Dr. Fletcher consistently applies that hermeneutical understanding throughout his treatment of twelve ‘non-messianic’ psalms that span the five books of the Psalter. This is an excellent book, one that I recommend highly.”
