From the East Gate

Preaching & Worship

“This is a marvelous jewelry box of a book, each sermon a gem carefully cut and polished to refract the light of the gospel in myriad ways. It can serve as a devotional guide matching theological depth with pastoral warmth. I highly commend it to all.”

Let Creation Rejoice

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Let Creation Rejoice is a marvelously lucid study of Scripture and current ecological concerns. Those skeptical about the magnitude of the threats facing the earth will be challenged by the sober, balanced account of climate change and related issues; those skeptical of Christianity's relevance to such concerns will equally be challenged by the elegant exposition of the Bible's affirmation of the created order. I cannot imagine a more clearheaded and timely treatment of the topic.”

Preludes

Arts & Literature

“Preludes is much more than a conventional autobiography. The reader will find here in equal measure spiritual sensitivity, classical learning, and descriptive poetry of great power and precision, all in the service of a compelling personal narrative. The evocations of the Florida of his youth--a paradise now all but lost--are particularly moving. I enthusiastically recommend Preludes.”

Revelation

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Tom Schreiner has produced an outstanding commentary on Revelation. He treats any number of perplexing issues in a remarkably clear way, firm in his convictions but characteristically charitable to those with whom he disagrees. Scholars will appreciate his thorough analysis of textual and historical issues, while pastors will benefit from his clarity and his thoughtful application of the text. Highly recommended.”

Righteousness, Volume 1

Theology

“Jeffrey Niehaus has provided a lucid and thoroughgoing account of ‘righteousness’ in Scripture against its historical background. Vol. 1 provides a helpful overview of the history of interpretation; his attention to the German language tradition will be especially useful to English-speaking readers. No student of this crucial topic can afford to miss Niehaus’ valuable contribution.”

Righteousness, Volume 2

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In vol. 2 of Righteousness, Jeffrey Niehaus offers an exhaustive treatment of ‘righteousness’ and related words in the Old Testament. His central thesis—that ‘righteousness’ in Scripture mean conformity to God’s Being and doing—allows him to look at each passage with proper nuance. The book will be of immense help to all those investigating this central theological theme.”

Righteousness, Volume 3

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jeffrey Niehaus concludes his trilogy on righteousness by turning to the New Testament. He combines scholarly rigor and theological precision with a clear, inviting style that is accessible to all Christians. The great virtue of the first two volumes is evident here as well: each relevant text is allowed to speak for itself, without being pressed into service for a rigid system.”

The Joy of Hearing

Theology

“Tom Schreiner has provided a lucid and well-balanced overview of the book of Revelation—no small feat! He draws on the best contemporary scholarship treating the book but does not burden the reader with excessive scholarly debate. He is clear in his own convictions but charitable to those with whom he disagrees, and he is honest enough to admit when a given text remains perplexing. Anyone looking to understand the Apocalypse will greatly benefit from Schreiner’s discussion.”
