A Theology of Paul and His Letters
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“studies for four decades, and this book could only arise out of years of mature reflection. A Theology of Paul and His Letters is at the same time both panoramic in scope and attentive to the details of individual words and phrases. Moo draws on a vast wealth of scholarship, interacting fairly and charitably with others, and invariably clarifying not just Paul’s thought but also his emphases and balance. I can recommend it with pleasure—and with envy of the learning and good judgment evident throughout this book.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This book is a rare combination. It will offer beginning students a sure-footed guide to the basics of studying the apocryphal gospels. It also lays down a challenge to many current approaches to the gospels among scholars, in its bold arguments about the relation between the apocrypha and their canonical counterparts. A must-read for all studying or writing about the gospels.”
Apologetics
“This much-needed book provides a mine of information for Christians wanting to know more about the historical background to the Gospels and offers a series of challenges to those skeptical of what we can know about Jesus. Peter Williams has distilled a mass of information and thought into this short and accessible book, and it deserves careful reading both inside and outside the church.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A wonderful combination of clarity, insight, and passion. This commentary captures the great big-picture message of Galatians without avoiding any of the difficult details, whether the curse of the Law or remembering the poor. Anyone reading or preaching on Galatians will benefit from this book.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A wonderfully wide-ranging book, full of learning and insight. One of the most significant books on the gospels in the last hundred years, this work will undoubtedly shake up the current study of the gospels.”
Theology
“Reading Stephen Westerholm's sketch of justification in Paul is a duty and a joy. This volume introduces the subject clearly and elegantly to students. But it also throws down the gauntlet to the New Perspectivists. How will they respond?”
Theology
“This book is full of biblical insight and draws on a rich stock of historic Reformed theologians. In Man of Sorrows, King of Glory, we move from Adam to the new creation and see how in Christ’s exaltation he becomes the human king the world has been awaiting. Jonty Rhodes shows that the death and resurrection of Jesus have so much more importance for Christians than we usually recognize.”
Method, Context, and Meaning in New Testament Studies
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This is a marvelous book. It is clear, methodical, and written with an elegant simplicity. Its content is theologically rich and extraordinarily learned. But this is not just a fascinating collection of essays about the New Testament and New Testament studies. It is nothing less than a brilliant, wise, and faithful manifesto for how New Testament studies should be done.”
Theology
“Those who know Troels Engberg-Pedersen’s work will recognize the immense learning and his trademark rigor. But this is also a gripping read as well as going far beyond what most biblical scholars would attempt. It is illuminating and challenging, presenting not only a Pauline theology but nothing less than a manifesto for Western democracy.”
Paul's Message and Ministry in Covenant Perspective
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“It is excellent to have Hafemann's essays collected together here, and updated to include the latest scholarship. This book encapsulates Hafemann's combination of exegetical skill and theological interest, which are all too rare in Pauline studies.”
Pauline Churches and Diaspora Jews
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“John Barclay has for some years been one of the world's leading New Testament scholars. He has combined in his work an extensive knowledge of the Jewish and pagan environment of the New Testament authors, a keen theoretical awareness, and careful historical analysis of Paul. Far from leading him to a suspicion of theological analyses of the New Testament, as is the case with some scholars, these strengths of Barclay have led to keen theological — and indeed ecclesiological — insights. . . . Barclay's careful historical and exegetical work together with its often immediate theological payoff makes his work widely applicable.”
Perspectives Old and New on Paul
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Written with sparkling humor, this book is a landmark work both in its treatment of the vast scholarly literature and in its crisp exegesis of Paul himself. Perspectives Old and New on Paul is proof again, if proof were needed, that Stephen Westerholm is still head and shoulders above almost everyone else as an interpreter of Paul.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In this careful study of the crucial theme of repentance at Qumran, Mark Jason guides the reader expertly through a wide range of literature as he both surveys the full sweep of the Dead Sea Scrolls and also engages in minute exegesis of especially important texts. This vital study is of relevance not only to Qumran scholarship but to all study of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. I recommend it wholeheartedly!”
The Inner Story of the New International Version
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This book is a fascinating memoir of Murray Harris’s involvement in the monumental task of producing the NIV. The author’s linguistic skill and wisdom are clearly on display in the discussions of the linguistic difficulties both of the biblical languages and of English. The Inner Story gives valuable insight into the workings of translators and translation committees.”
Theology
“A wonderfully clear and faithful account of biblical theology. This book is both intellectually compelling and honoring to God and so deserves to be widely read.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This book is a timely reminder and challenge that pastors, not professors, are the theological leaders of the church. This book is informed by centuries of church history as well as by Scripture and by insightful analysis of the state of the church today. A must-read for anyone seeking guidance on how to bridge—or rather, destroy—the pastor-theologian divide.”
The Pronunciation of New Testament Greek
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This book displays exceptional learning spread across many centuries and various languages to get at a topic that always intrigues Classicists and New Testament scholars. Kantor shows just how much evidence, spanning a vast range of material from classical and Rabbinic literature as well as from inscriptions and documentary papyri, is relevant to this task. It is a monumental achievement to assemble a book of such massive scope as well as linguistic sophistication. A triumph!”
The Surprising Genius of Jesus
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This fascinating study shows how Jesus’s parables, such as that of the prodigal son, are not only powerful stories but also treasure troves of suggestive allusions to the Old Testament. Although short, this book contains a wealth of wisdom to give today’s readers insight into Luke’s parables, thereby helping them understand more of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. A gripping and illuminating read!”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Written with both verve and calm intelligence, this book is head and shoulders above most of the rest of scholarship on Thomas and the Synoptics. It grapples skilfully with both the nitty-gritty of the Greek and Coptic texts and the various scholarly minefields. Read it!”
