Introducing the Pseudepigrapha of Second Temple Judaism
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This is a comprehensive, well-informed, and up-to-date introduction to a large body of literature deriving from early Judaism. Scholars are becoming more cautious about which of the so-called Old Testament Pseudepigrapha we can be confident derive from that milieu. Gurtner rightly gives most attention to those that are generally agreed to be Jewish works from the Second Temple period, but he also discusses others that have often been treated as such so that readers may be aware of the issues of date and provenance that are still uncertain. This is a very helpful reference work, both for those who are new to this field and for those who have already engaged with this fascinating body of literature.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The central argument of this book is very important: it asks us to take seriously the fact that in the Gospel of Matthew, mission is orientated to nations, not only individuals. Moreover, it sees the different categories of disciples portrayed in the Gospel as a strategy for such mission, with differentiated roles assigned to prophets, teachers, scribes, and others. So, this will prove a significant contribution not only to Matthean studies but also to missiology.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This commentary is full of careful historical exegesis that is especially well informed by the literature, philosophy, and rhetoric of the Greco-Roman world. It is an ideal companion to a detailed study of these still undervalued New Testament books.”
Theology
Foreword
“There has been a movement on the part of some biblical scholars and some systematic theologians to bring their disciplines back together after a long period of alienation. This is not a matter of dissolving one into the other, but of finding ways in which serious dialogue can bear fruit. Poul Guttesen's work is an exemplary contribution to this. By engaging Jurgen Moltmann's theology and the biblical book of Revelation in a mutually illuminating dialogue Guttesen is, of course, hosting such an encounter within the creative theological context of his own engagement with both. He enters with sympathy and perception into both of these visions of the kingdom of God, with their very different theological idioms, and explores both the consonances and the tensions he finds between them.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This is a book that speaks to a great need of our time, the need for hope that does not depend on illusion. It takes very seriously both science and exegesis. It has the potential to mobilize authentic Christian hope in fearful and perplexing times.”
Theology
“Participation in Christ is at the heart of Paul's theology, but it is difficult to understand and easy to neglect in practice. Macaskill challenges us to take it fully seriously in our Christian lives as well as in our theology, making his case with exegetical care and spiritual wisdom.”
Luke among the Ancient Historians
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This is an important contribution to what should now be the central task of Gospels scholarship: to reassess the nature of the Gospels after the demise of form criticism. . . . Peters shows that Luke claims to have sourced his work directly from eyewitnesses, including some of the disciples of Jesus. It hardly needs saying that this must have a major impact on the study of Luke’s Gospel in particular, but also the Acts of the Apostles.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Tilling achieves a major advance in the task of rediscovering the full significance of Paul's Christology. He joins other scholars who have recently been arguing that Paul sees Jesus Christ as truly divine, and he adds a very fruitful fresh perspective, focusing on the way believers relate to the living Christ as divine.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
Foreword
“This is a book that could transform many people's reading of the Gospels. Jonathan Pennington has a wide knowledge of the specialist literature, and he skillfully distills what matters most for the task of reading the Gospels wisely. He is especially concerned that we read the Gospels in ways that are appropriate to the sort of texts they are. What comes across is a powerful sense that the Gospels are not only historical but also life changing.”
Science & Faith
“No serious study of human nature can confine itself to one academic discipline. The contributions of philosophy, the natural and human sciences, paleontology, and theology are all needed, but rarely are they all brought together. This outstanding volume contains up-to-date contributions from distinguished scholars in all these fields. . . A landmark contribution to our current task of rethinking human nature in the light of both what we have long thought and what we have only just begun to envisage.”
Theology
“In this important work, Bockmuehl deploys his wide knowledge both of the world of the early church and of the history of modern New Testament scholarship. His diagnosis of the contemporary state of New Testament studies is acute, and his recommendations for future directions are suggestive and important.”
Arts & Literature
“In this illuminating comparison between the parables of Jesus and the fiction of George MacDonald, Kreglinger shows how both told stories that de-familiarize by using shocking versions of symbolic meaning that draw the reader into transformative participation in the kingdom of God. . . . With these insights, Kreglinger opens up in a fresh way the pervasively Christian nature of MacDonald's mature fantasy literature.”
The Best Kept Secret of Christian Mission
Evangelism & Missions
“weary of what often goes by the name evangelism, this book will be a most refreshing and inspiring experience.”
The Core of the Christian Faith
Christian Living
“Here is the biblical depth needed for the contemporary church’s reflection on and practice of its missional identity.”
The Early Christians in Ephesus from Paul to Ignatius
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Paul Trebilco's masterly study of the early Christians in one of the greatest cities of the Roman Empire analyzes in detail all the available evidence and creates an intriguing picture of a diversity of Christian groups that were distinctive without necessarily being hostile to each other.”

Foreword
“I commend this book warmly. It is likely to remain a standard work to which everyone engaged with this issue will constantly return.”
The First Letter to the Corinthians
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Two experts on 1 Corinthians provide detailed yet lucid exegesis of one of Paul's more difficult letters. I particularly appreciate the very full introduction, which covers many more topics than the usual introductions to a Pauline letter.”
