Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jason Whitlark has overcome what many have regarded as an insoluble problem with regard to Hebrews: a way in which it can be understood in the context of the overwhelming emphasis on grace in the New Testament epistolary literature. His use of the category of divine enablement makes possible a new and refreshing reading.”

Spiritual Practices of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Wright combines careful exegesis and painstaking research into the ancient writers with refreshingly authentic reflections from her own Christian community and experience. By expanding the notion of spirituality beyond prayer into the Lukan emphases on simplicity of life and the humility that flows from an understanding of the true self, Wright has found in the Third Gospel resources that could, if taken seriously, restore the Western church to authenticity.”
