“Racism is perpetuated by claims about history, identity, and religion, especially within the Christian tradition. Resistance to racism must, then, include the reassessment of those claims, pressing back through the problematic history of interpretation to consider the biblical texts themselves in all their complexity and nuance. In this stunning work of engaged scholarship, David Horrell shows how ill-founded claims about early Christianity reveal our complicity in hermeneutical and theological discourses marked by racist assumptions and consequent practices. Horrell’s careful survey of ancient identity construction makes this an important book for scholars and students of Jewish and Christian identity. But the final chapter on the endemic presence of whiteness in New Testament scholarship makes Ethnicity and Inclusion essential.”
History & Biography
“One is struck time and again by the rare combination of intellectual depth, theological insight, and ecumenical passion that pervade [this book's] pages; echoing in so many ways the life of Clements' great hero, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. . . . This is theological biography of the highest quality and greatest wisdom.”

“Simon Perry offers a sustained and strong account of the difference that the resurrection of Jesus Christ makes to theological hermeneutics. Biblical interpretation and the practice of discipleship, the world of the text and the real world of human striving and suffering, are inextricably linked in Perry's vision of the interpretative task. Elegantly structured and demanding both intellectually and existentially, Perry's work offers a new voice into the conversation about biblical interpretation today.”

“Exegetical rigor meets existential reality in this important study of the theme of suffering in Paul's letter to the Christians in Rome. Wu highlights the ways that Paul explores the theme of suffering in the light of his gospel of hope. But his focus on the audience of Romans also reminds us that Paul's gospel is no abstract reflection but a transformative message--for the first audience and for today.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Does Paul say critical things about the Roman Empire in his letters? How could we, centuries later, even tell if he did? In this book Christoph Heilig makes a rigorous and informed case for looking more closely at the evidence and paying attention to issues of methodology. The result is a nuanced, thoughtful, and provocative contribution to an enduring debate in Pauline studies.”
The New Testament in Its World
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Interpreting the New Testament is a complex task and Wright and Bird work at it with customary passion and a commitment to clarity and coherence. These qualities make it an ideal starting-point for anyone who wants to understand early Christianity and its canonical texts.”
