Psalms

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Kristen Kvam and Don Saliers, experienced interpreters of theology, preaching, and liturgy, present the impact of the Psalms in churches, synagogues, and other public places as well as the prayer closets of individuals. Their treatment of Psalms brings together a wide range of voices, across time and space, culture and vocation.”

Remembering Antônia Teixeira

History & Biography

“When Toni Morrison told a story, she opened up a universe. This book does much the same thing: the specific story of Antônia Teixeira describes structures of transnational structures of racial and gendered inequity. This story from the nineteenth century reminds today’s careful readers of the continued persistence of inequity and possibly gives light to a way forward. As the church saying goes, ‘Tell the truth and shame the devil’!”

The Book of Hosea

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The book of Hosea is pound for pound as difficult a prophetic book as one can find in the Bible, so we appreciate the work of J. Andrew Dearman in this extraordinary commentary. . . Dearman captures well the metaphorical theology of Hosea, and his thoughtful reflection on the text attends to the various issues of every passage in the book. In his appendices he guides the reader through ten topics that dominate Hosea scholarship. Readers will consistently appreciate Dearman's clear and succinct writing style. Reading this commentary is a treat.”

The Fear of the Lord Is Wisdom

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Longman provides a combination of innovative scholarship and clear, accessible prose. He covers the tradition’s bases but also addresses a postmodern reading context. The Fear of the Lord Is Wisdom will be an excellent guide for undergraduates, seminarians, and scholars alike.”

Waiting

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Caldwell challenges the reader to exchange hectic, mindless Christmas consumption for thoughtful psalm-based prayer every week of Advent into the Christmas and Epiphany seasons. The waiting of Advent gives way to the Christmas time of God with us and to abiding in the presence of God. This delightful book engages both the individual reader and those involved in group study.”
