An Introduction to the Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The editors of the Tyndale House Edition of the Greek New Testament claim that they have produced ‘the most accurate edition of the Greek New Testament published so far’ (with accuracy defined by faithfulness in representing the apostolic autographs). This is a bold declaration, and senior editor Dirk Jongkind does much to back up this assertion in his new introduction to the Greek New Testament. The book is precise, irenic, and lucid. Only time and broader scholarly scrutiny will adjudicate the claims of the editors. Nevertheless, even in the early days of its public appearance, The Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge should be celebrated by all as a magnificent achievement. I heartily encourage my students to read it, and this introduction is an invaluable companion to that joyful enterprise.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In G. K. Chesterton’s autobiography he writes, “As for Greek accents, I triumphantly succeeded, through a long series of school-terms, in avoiding learning them at all.” If many a Greek teacher is honest, his or her knowledge of Greek accents may not be too far behind Chesterton’s. Thankfully, in this compact and well-written new book, John Lee guides both professors and students to a competency in Greek accents. Thanks are due to Dr. Lee for producing a resource that has been needed for generations.”
Can We Recover the Original Text of the New Testament?
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The field of New Testament textual criticism is ever-changing, and perhaps as a surprise to many readers, there’s a fresh need to defend the goal and possibility of seeking the biblical authors’ original wording. Editors David Alan Black and Abidan Paul Shah, along with contributors Peter Gurry and Maurice Robinson, are to be commended for this timely and instructive volume.”
Christian Stewardship in Light of Paul’s Collection for the Poor
Work, Money & Leadership
“For believers seeking to base their understanding of Christian stewardship on faithful and rigorous exegesis, I know of no better resource than Murray Harris’s Christian Stewardship in Light of Paul’s Collection for the Poor. Harris takes the reader on a ‘deep dive’ of an often-neglected subject.”
Commonly Misunderstood Verses of the Bible
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“With exegetical skill, clear prose, and pastoral warmth, Van Voorst looks at two dozen such passages. Just skim through the table of contents, and you will not be able to put down this book without reading a chapter! Van Voorst will make you think carefully about how to handle the Scripture.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“I know of no other devotional book like this one. It will draw you into the beauty of God’s Word while simultaneously strengthening your knowledge of Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“If you really care about students and pastors competently reading the Greek New Testament, then you should read David Miller’s insightful study. His observations and prescriptions will enable Greek teachers to be more deliberate and effective in their pedagogy.”
Identity and Moral Formation in 1 Thessalonians
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I am pleased to endorse this work, in which Kiwoon Lee guides us to understand more clearly how Paul’s First Letter to the Thessalonians shaped the recipients’ sense of identity and moral vision. Christian scholars and pastors will not only learn from Lee’s skilled analysis, but also be moved to imitate in their own Christian communities the apostle Paul’s doctrinally shaped approach to ethics.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Of all the recently published New Testament and Greek resources, the EGGNT series is the one that excites me the most. You can think of this volume as a seminary-level Greek exegesis course in paperback. Also, each EGGNT volume provides sermon outlines based on the structure of the Greek text—connecting meticulous exegetical analysis to the faithful preaching and teaching of God's Word. Quarles’s excellent new volume on Matthew will not disappoint. It is a faithful guide to the Greek text and will benefit students, pastors, and scholars for years to come.”
Evangelism & Missions
“‘Place’ and ‘geography’ are trendy topics these days. How important, then, that when we reflect on these matters, we are guided not by the zeitgeist but by careful biblical reflection. Matthew Hirt’s fine new book is an example of such faithful work.”
Christian Living
“David Bowden is a captivating speaker and engaging author who will inspire you to look into your heart, listen to the Scriptures, and pursue the God of Holiness.”
Christian Living
“Brad Wetherell has written an extraordinary book that will help ordinary Christians understand and embrace the significance of their union with Christ.”
Theology
“An engaging and gifted writer, Daniel Stevens will help even the most experienced interpreters to read the book of Hebrews and the Psalms more faithfully and, thus, treasure Christ more deeply.”
The Greek New Testament Study Bible
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“As I skimmed through The Greek New Testament Study Bible, I asked myself, 'Why has no one ever created a resource like this?!' Many pastors, students, and laypersons will come to a deeper understanding of God's Word through this wonderful study Bible.”
The Principle of the New Era in Galatians
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Although countless books have been written on Paul’s view of the law, Ho-Hyung Cho’s careful analysis of νόμος in Galatians 6:2 will be of benefit to every reader. I am happy to commend this work.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Pastors and seminary students regularly ask me about the Septuagint and its significance for a modern, English-speaking Christian. The Septuagint: What It Is and Why It Matters is my new number-one recommended resource for these inquiries. The book is informed by a scholarly knowledge of the subject, yet it remains accessible and a pleasure to read.”
History & Biography
“Whenever I see a new children’s book by Jared Kennedy, it jumps to the top of my list of books to recommend to parents. This skillful retelling of Martin Luther’s life is no exception.”
Theology
“Goldilocks found that some of the porridge was too hot, some too cold, and one bowl just right. Similarly, many books on the theology of mission can either be too superficial or too detailed (dense!). J. D. Payne has provided an invaluable service to his readers by writing a text that is ‘just right’―just right in depth of biblical reflection, scholarly engagement, and practical application. This book is my number one recommended text for a biblical theology of mission.”
Three Nuances of the Perfect Indicative in the Greek New Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Even advanced Greek scholars sometimes struggle to explain a New Testament author’s choice of the perfect tense. Building on the very good insights of Rutger Allan, Hanbyul Kang demonstrates that three distinct nuances of the perfect tense occur in the New Testament. Kang’s careful analysis goes a long way toward resolving the mystery of the perfect tense’s usage in the New Testament. I have cited Kang’s study in my own writing and will continue to point others to his detailed and insightful work.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“John and Greg live their talk. They are open and honest about their struggles and wins and are thoroughly biblical in their approach, as well as humble and wise beyond their years. True Riches challenges winsomely without prefab formulas. I highly recommend this work.”
