Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Jack Lundbom is a big-part player in the academic fields of Hebrew prophecy and Hebrew poetry. That he has compressed so much of his knowledge and insight into this great little book and made it so enjoyably readable—and informative and contemporarily relevant—for the general reader is a very considerable achievement.”
Dictionary of the Old Testament: Pentateuch
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I like the idea of a Dictionary of the Old Testament: Pentateuch, and the decision to focus on major topics is well judged. There is a great deal of very useful discussion and analysis in the volume. It should open up the study of the Pentateuch in new ways for many a reader, and I welcome the project most warmly.”

“It fulfills superbly its aim of making the prophets accessible to the student reader.”
God's Righteousness and Justice in the Old Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Professor Krašovec is a foremost authority on divine righteousness, justice, and related topics in the Old Testament, which makes this ‘summa’ of his work over several decades especially welcome. Exegetical rigor frequently blends with apt literary allusion and quotation in this magisterial treatment of great, interconnected biblical themes.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“There are several texts on how toxic people manipulate others, but this book is so valuable since it also gives the reader instructions on how to deal with such people: Refuse to allow the projector or blame-shifter to accuse you of what he or she has thought, felt, or done. To do this, you must let abusers know that the negative thoughts and accusations sent your way do not belong to you.”

“The many textual and comparative aspects of this investigation are handled with great competence, and the volume will rightly occupy a place of importance in the study of biblical marriage for a long time to come.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In this revisiting of Genesis 1-11 by a leading commentator on Genesis, the main foci of discussion are the creation narratives and the account of the flood. Wenham skillfully utilizes the opportunity to concentrate on the main features of the narratives, in their own right and in comparison with relevant ancient Near Eastern traditions. The result is an impressive statement of the message, abiding value, and significance for the whole biblical canon, of the 'Genesis protohistory.'”

“Fresh data and new interpretations ensure that death and the afterlife remain a lively center of debate within Old Testament study. Philip Johnston has analyzed the arguments in masterly fashion, and his study will be a must-read for anyone interested in knowing what the biblical writers actually say on the subject.”

“Dr. Jeffrey Cohen employs his poetic skill and biblical scholarship to the challenging task of rendering the Book of Psalms into rhymed verse. This groundbreaking work conveys the inner meaning, lyricism, and message of the psalms in a manner that will engage and inspire adherents of all faiths and none . . . So much in the poems is arresting and impressive, at times downright brilliant!”
Theology in Language, Rhetoric, and Beyond
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Those who know Jack Lundbom as a first-rank commentator and exegete will be delighted with this selection of his essays, which range from technical studies of key Old Testament terms of theological importance to reflections on themes across the two Testaments to imaginative readings of familiar texts, such as Psalm 23 and John 20 (against the background of Song of Songs), to personal and pastoral perspectives that are rich and heart-warming and eminently readable. Theology in Language, Rhetoric, and Beyond . . . would be a not inappropriate title for these splendid essays on biblical theology living and applied.”

“Violet Chiswa Gandiya writes out of a profound acquaintance with storm theophany and related aspects of the depiction of the God of Israel. In this accomplished monograph she attempts a partial resetting of the study of Israelite creation theology by engaging with traditions from the ‘Global South,’ represented here by the creation mythology of the Malian Dogon tribe. This energizes her presentation of Israel’s God as a God of Wind(s) rather than a Storm Deity and enables other fruitful comparisons that have both religious and societal implications. This perceptive study deals with the biblical texts in depth, is on top of the copious secondary literature, and has the ‘exegetical plus’ that one always hopes for in a theoretical approach to Old Testament topics.”
