Barrenness and Blessing

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Hemchand Gossai has long been working on the stories of Abraham and Sarah with great clarity, literary sensitivity, and theological savvy. In this volume, he expands upon that journey with new studies regarding God, the human characters, and their interrelationships. Gathering the major themes from these narratives, Gossai presents them in such a way that Israel's stories can speak once again into the complexities of our interreligious world. Students and scholars alike will benefit from his many insights.”

Encounters with Biblical Theology

Theology

“John Collins is one of the most sophisticated Hebrew Bible scholars active in the discipline today. The breadth of his scholarly work is considerable, ranging from learned exegetical analyses and historical investigations to thoughtful theological studies. These lucid essays demonstrate especially the value of the integration of the history of Israel's religion and its theological reflection.”

God's Wounds: Hermeneutic of the Christian Symbol of Divine Suffering, Volume One

Theology

“Jeff Pool has written a thorough and thoughtful study of the issues raised regarding a God who suffers. His careful and groundbreaking work ranges widely across the theological disciplines, including the biblical fields, evident not least in his remarkably inclusive bibliography. All who will address this theme in the next generation must take this study seriously into account.”

Healing in the Bible

Theology

“Fred Gaiser herein offers a collection of insightful essays on the difficult issues related to healing. These chapters bear the marks of long and deep reflection. Students and professionals alike will benefit from these close and clear studies. They ring true to the scriptural texts, are sensitive to the pastoral context, and bring a sure theological hand throughout.”

Learning on Life’s Way

“A remarkable journey! Paul gathers key themes of his extensive theological work over the years and weaves them thoughtfully into his personal and professional life story.”

Seeing the Lord's Glory

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Students of the Old Testament may be tempted to think that this book is too far removed from their discipline to merit special attention. That would be a mistake. Numerous Old Testament texts are thoughtfully discussed and considered within a larger biblical and theological context in Seeing the Lord’s Glory.”

The Book That Breathes New Life

Theology

“For more than a generation readers have regularly benefited from Walter Brueggemann's lively studies of biblical texts. These essays take a step behind that textual work to muse on issues of biblical authority and to survey the landscape of Old Testament scholarship regarding key critical questions and major theological developments. As always, readers can count on Brueggemann for clear, engaging, and insightful reflections on issues important for both church and academy.”

The Cave and the Butterfly

Theology

“Fluent in theological and philosophical reflection, Paul Chung herein engages in a learned conversation across disciplines and cultures. Woven into the fabric of his discussion are insightful linkages to biblical texts and contemporary social issues.”

The Crucifixion of the Warrior God

Theology

“Gregory A. Boyd has written an impressive work: theologically alert, careful and thorough in its treatment of many difficult texts, comprehensively referenced, and moving in depth through both testaments. It deserves wide attention from readers across theological disciplines.”

The Hebrew Prophets after the Shoah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Hemchand Gossai has gathered key emphases from the prophetic corpus with remarkable clarity and enabled a sharp and thoughtful connection to contemporary issues. The prophets live again in this insightful book!”

The Old Testament and Process Theology

Theology

“In many ways, this careful analysis is an overture to Old Testament theology, covering the major themes of the Hebrew Bible. This welcome cross-disciplinary study deftly shows the extent to which current theological understandings of the Old Testament often resonate with process categories. At the same time, Gnuse shows how the latter open up even wider vistas in our efforts to probe the heart of the biblical message.”

Theological Themes of the Old Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"Marty Stevens understands that the Old Testament is a 'theological text first and foremost.' She is to be commended for this clear and careful study of key themes that are well-chosen and thoughtfully developed.”
