Stephen E. Fowl
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Those of us who are long-standing admirers of Rob Wall's work will recognize that the Pastoral Epistles, with all of their critical baggage, provide the perfect backdrop for his canonical approach to Scripture. Wall never shrinks back from crucial questions. Nevertheless, he carefully and confidently interprets the Pastorals as full members of the canon. His readings are theologically apt and lively, shaped and regulated by the church's faith.”
Attending the Wounds on Christ’s Body
“This is a wonderfully informative book about Teresa of Avila, but it is also much more. Newman reflects on Teresa's central images, dwellings, marriage, and pilgrimage to challenge modern Christians to reconsider their understandings of such things as time, abundance, place, politics, and economics. Such work helps us better inhabit a divided church, to repent of wounding her, and to imagine and pray for her healing. It is hard to conceive of more important theological work.”
Contextual Theological Interpretation
Theology
“This volume wonderfully combines Bo Lim’s broad and deep scholarship with his wisdom and passion as a teacher and minister. These virtues are all on display as he clearly and ardently argues for theological interpretation of Scripture to become more deeply engaged with and attentive to contextual hermeneutics. This book represents a real advance for theological interpreters of Scripture who want to serve the church.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In Cruciformity Michael Gorman rigorously works through the ways in which Paul narrates himself into the ongoing drama of God’s salvation revealed in the cross and resurrection. Gorman’s accessible prose nicely displays how Paul comes to understand and embody a life that seeks to be conformed to the cross of Christ. In an age when spirituality is often simply a mask for self-projection and self-assertion, Gorman’s Paul reminds Christians that such vital matters as faith, hope, love, and power should be shaped by the story of the crucified and resurrected one rather than by our own whims and desires. This book is readable and timely, and it will enhance the lives of contemporary Christians.”
Enoch and the Gospel of Matthew
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Well-written, learned, and arguing a fascinating thesis, Amy Richter's Enoch and the Gospel of Matthew makes a welcome contribution to our understanding of Matthew and the role of apocalyptic themes in the Gospels.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Adam's analysis is critically acute and theologically edifying. Here is theological hermeneutics at its best.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Christians in the US are severely tempted to bind themselves to political parties and politicians in hopes of exerting and even recovering a measure of power and control. Seeking control, Christians ironically find themselves under the control of forces and movements ultimately opposed to the goals of the gospel. Rodney Clapp's Living Out of Control is a bracing call to Christians in the US to repent of their desires to control and to devote themselves to resisting the powers that seek to control them. This book is filled with probing insights, wise counsel, and careful judgments. These work together to call Christians to the place where they are most secure because they are most out of control: the act of worshipping in word and sacrament.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Among many Pauline scholars it is a truism that several of Paul’s texts are anti-imperial. In this volume, Najeeb Haddad takes this truism and puts it to the test. Methodologically rigorous, historically astute, and exegetically thoughtful, Haddad shows that most of our judgments about Paul and the Roman Empire need to be rethought and made in much more complex and nuanced terms. This volume is a superb introduction to the topic of Paul and empire.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Dramatically advances the discussion of Pauline Christology. Tilling's control of ancient sources allows him to correct several significant misunderstandings and misperceptions regarding Paul's claims about Christ. . . . His keen analysis of long-standing scholarly problems moves several sterile debates in new and promising directions.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“In this broken time, when nothing is as it should be, Rebekah Eklund invites us to learn and practice the habits of lament as part of a faithful life with God and each other. This little volume is filled with compassion, warmth, and insights that will build up the body of Christ.”
Practicing Theological Interpretation
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“For many years Joel Green has been a leading advocate for interpreting Scripture theologically. In this short volume all of his wide learning is on display as he deftly works his way through some of the contested issues surrounding theological interpretation of Scripture. This volume represents a wonderfully accessible window into theological interpretation by one of its most accomplished practitioners.”
Reading the Epistles of James, Peter, John & Jude as Scripture
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“David Nienhuis and Robert Wall argue that if we shift our focus from the point of composition to much later matters of canonization, we can begin to see that the Catholic Epistles as a group round out and enrich the theological emphases of the Gospels and Paul’s letters in ways that form a more complete and even more attractive canonical whole. . . . Nienhuis and Wall present a challenging argument sustained by detailed theological attention to the canonical process and by close and lively readings of the Catholic Epistles. If taken up, their views can dramatically alter the interpretive patterns and concerns the church and the academy bring to these letters.”
Theology
Foreword
“All of the discussions in this book display East’s analytical rigor and theological sophistication. As one of the subjects under discussion in this book, I will speak for all of us and say that there are many times East is able to do more for and with our work than we did ourselves. . . . I look forward to seeing how future theological interpreters take these advances and work with them to push theological interpretation in new and promising directions.”
Theology
“Brad East’s The Doctrine of Scripture raises all the key issues for theologians and biblical scholars to think about with regard to the nature and place of Scripture in a Christian theological framework. In a lucid and highly accessible style, he makes a compelling case for why these issues matter for theology and Scriptural interpretation.”
To Hear the Word - Second Edition
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“For anyone interested in theological interpretation of Scripture, this book is a welcome event. This updated version of To Hear the Word brings together a compelling collection of John Howard Yoder's many writings on biblical interpretation and theology. Those engaged in current discussions about how to interpret and embody Scripture in the church will find that on many of the most pressing issues in the current debates, Yoder has already engaged the issues in provocative and challenging ways. It only sharpens our sorrow that his voice has been lost.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Andrew Lincoln’s Truth on Trial provides richly textured readings of the lawsuit motif in John as well as a series of thoughtful and profound theological reflections. This volume reflects Lincoln’s thorough immersion in Johannine studies as well as his broad understanding of contemporary hermeneutical and theological issues. He never glosses over tough questions. Rather, his patient, clear prose leads readers to a deeper engagement with matters concerning witness, testimony, confession, and truth. All Christian thinkers will benefit from wrestling with Truth on Trial.”
