An Ideology of Revolt

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a daring, intriguing, and notable book, the first to treat a Johannine theme employing the methods of social-science research. While buiding on recent insights into the Gospel and its setting, Neyrey forges beyond what has been proposed to a new and bold suggestion for ways of penetrating the enigmatic view of Christ found in John. This book will become an exemplary study of Johannine theology that will provoke and lead scholarly research in years to come. The controversy it is bound to stir will help to refine methods of invesitgating other Johannine themes.”

Social-Science Commentary on the Gospel of John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a splendid guidebook through the dense language of John's Gospel. The authors unmask new depths of meaning for any who puzzle over the Fourth Gospel. It is going to be a very important book.”

The Parables of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is undoubtedly the best book available on the parables. In this veritable enyclopedia Arland Hultgren masterfully employs a wide range of the best scholarship in the service of the church, providing helpful and insightful comments on how the parables can be taught and preached. A treasure for both scholars and preachers.”

The Parables of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Ford's interpretation of the parables is provocative and creative . . . Preachers will find here loads of fresh approaches to texts that seem to have been preached to death.”

The Prophet-King

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

““It is precisely this presentation of Jesus as a king and its associations with his presentation as prophet which is the central focus of Wayne Meeks’ exhaustive study of the traditions concerning Moses and their influence on Johannine Christology…. Meeks finds the milieu of Johannine Christology to include a complex Jewish and Samaritan tradition, probably centered in Galilee, concerning the figure of Moses.”

Why John Wrote a Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Tom Thatcher effectively rewrites the agenda for the study of the Gospel of John for the next decade. Dotted with diagrams, drawings, and numerous contemporary examples, Thatcher carefully leads readers into new and unexplored territory. He works with contemporary ideas of social memory and builds on the thesis that we discover the fourth evangelist's message in oral rather than written form. He presents us with new understandings of history and of the purpose of the Gospel of John.”
