"At the Pure Fountain of Thy Word"

Apologetics

“In the context of an extraordinary, busy life as a dedicated pastor and tireless missionary advocate, Andrew Fuller was also an indefatigable writer with an alert mind. These lucid, scholarly essays expand his perceptive interaction with a number of important doctrinal themes, reminding us of our continuing debt to a self-taught but highly gifted evangelical theologian.”

1 Corinthians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Conzelmann has a genious for brevity, and those familiar with Corinthians will generally read with great profit his incisive judgements....English speakers are indeed fortunate to have Conzelmann made available...first-rate.”

A Commentary on 1 Peter

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Goppelt's German commentary on First Peter is balanced and informative. It is a pleasure to have it now in English as a solid source of information. The book offers an admirable base from which to enter the ongoing discussion of this very important epistle.”

A Home for the Homeless

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jack Elliott's A Home for the Homeless is one of the most exciting works in biblical scholarship that I have read in recent years, and the best book on 1 Peter that I have ever read. In my mind he is certainly on the right track in detecting the life-situation addressed in this important epistle. It is consoling to find that amid the plethora of writings on the Bible really worthwhile discoveries can still be made.”

Following in the Footsteps of Jesus

“The Bible offers magnificent examples of what is required to be a disciple, waliking on the path that leads to God--a path that Jesus illuminated so clearly. This book draws on those examples with faithful perception and insight, and gives most helpful guidance. It is encouraging to see the Bible put to the service of spiritual growth in this way.”

From Paul to Valentinus

History & Biography

“Peter Lampe's extremely thorough study of the Roman Christians ... I would judge it the best work on an early Christian Church I have read in the last decade ... Lampe exhibits such balance and care that I would find myself hard-pressed to write the usual review, agreeing with some points and disagreeing with others. His conclusions are likely to be the basis of most on-going discussion ... The interest of these (Lampe's) theses for church history, as well as for New Testament, should be obvious.”

Inspiration and Authority

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In an evaluation of the Scriptures as the Word of God, inspiration is an essential element. The long Protestant experience with this issue is both fruitful and painful, for many have drawn false conclusions from the justified belief in inspiration. Paul Achtemeier is a first-rate scholar who combines scientific investigation with faith, and his sensitivity and honesty make this a most useful book for all interested in the Bible. . . . A better practical book on the subject would be hard to find.”

Symbolism in the Fourth Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“John's use of symbols is an essential key to understanding the Gospel . . . Craig Koester's book is an admirable and important contribution in the extent of its coverage, the quality of its judgment, and the appreciation both of the scholarly and religious implications of the Fourth Gospel's symbolism. A first-rate book well worthy of our attention.”

The Christology of the Fourth Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“First rate! Probably the most detailed and perceptive study of John 6 available today. From the account of the multiplication of the loaves and Jesus's bread of life discourse, Anderson derives admirable insights into John's Christology and the way the Gospel was composed.”

The Text of the New Testament in Contemporary Research

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A very helpful, up-to-date treatment of this very difficult topic. These contributions by recognized scholars are worthy of the great scholar the volume honors.”

The Tribe of Dan

History & Biography

“This first systematic treatment of the General Baptist "New Connexion" skillfully traces its history from a dynamic Evangelical Revival protest movement through to late nineteenth century amalgamation with a mainline denomination. In addition to providing significant contextual and regional perspectives, Dr. Rinaldi's informative study focuses on the theological, sociological and missiological factors that combined to effect this gradual transition.”
