Isaiah 1-39

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Sweeney's book marks a major milestone in Isaiah studies. The close examinations of the forms of the prophecies of Isaiah 1–39 and the role that this primary collection has played in the structure and formation of the book of Isaiah as a whole are splendidly shown. . . This volume must surely become an indispensable starting point for the serious student, and I warmly recommend it.”

Psalms

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The study of the Old Testament Psalter has undergone great changes during the twentieth century in an effort to recover a fuller awareness of its original setting and purpose. Bellinger's book admirably fulfills the task of exploring the many insights of modern scholarship on the psalms in order to clarify the faith to which they bear witness. It does this by showing the real-life situations that occasioned the formulation of prayers of complaint and praise, opening up a warm sense of the humanity and faith that they nurtured. Readers will find a great richness of scholarship here set out in vigorous and exciting language to make plain that the Psalter retains a powerful challenge for the present day. These psalms explore the whole range of human experience and provide a vehicle by which faith can become articulate and sharply focused, even when faced with pain and doubt. The sheer honesty of these prayers challenges contemporary complacency.”

Where Is the God of Justice?

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"The Bible does not shy away from the problem of human suffering and the challenge it presents to belief in divine justice. In this book, Michael Thompson gives the reader a first-rate insight into the many-sided approaches that are offered by the prophets, psalmists, and sages of the Old Testament. I commend it very highly for its clarity and readability.”
