“Paul’s letter to the Romans continues to provoke much critical discussion, not least because it opens a window into the theological ferment through which an ancient religious tradition, Judaism, first gave birth to its unexpected offspring, Christianity. Through this careful and thorough study of the Old Testament background of the theme of ‘union with Christ’ in Romans, Wendel Sun contributes creatively to this discussion, offering both answers to neglected questions, and questions which will require an answer.”

All You Want to Know About the Bible in Pop Culture

“My friend Kevin Harvey has given us a creative, lighthearted, and precise perspective of the Bible in pop culture. Pop culture doesn’t often get the Bible right, but make no mistake about it, pop culture, regardless of motive, does get Bible. If current trends are any indication, we can expect more Bible, not less.”

Jesus--the End and the Beginning

Theology

“What if Christ were all in all? What if Jesus truly were our beginning and end? Drawn by these questions, Work presents the reader with a vision of life enfolded by Jesus Christ. A scriptural imagination engages here with matters of faith. This lively book opens up questions of the Christian faith to show their root and resolution in Jesus. All things, Work reminds us, are gathered up in Christ. Here is the engine that propels him through his consideration of numerous issues of faith and contemporary life. Jesus discloses to us our beginning and end, and life is found in the midst.”

Mothers on the Margin?

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Anne Clements's careful and intriguing study of the women in Matthew's genealogy poses a direct challenge to readings that have demeaned them. It opens up vital questions about Matthew's purpose, his reading of the Hebrew Scriptures, our view of women in the biblical story, and our understanding of Jesus himself. It deserves a wide readership.”

The Comical Doctrine

Theology

“A thoroughgoing Christian philosophical underpinning for New Testament interpretation was long overdue, but now we have one. Rosalind Selby tackles central philosophical questions of our day head-on, showing how insights from philosophy of the 'modern' and 'postmodern' periods can be incorporated within a robust theological realism t yield a sound framework for the enterprise. She leads us among the philosophical giants with ease and grace, persuading us that we need have no fear of them, and that they might even turn out to be our friends. I warmly commend this as an important resource for all students of biblical hermeneutics ready to be stretched through such an encounter.”
