Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In 'Return to Me' Mark Boda has made his immense scholarship on repentance and penitential prayer accessible to all who want to study this critical biblical-theological concept in Scripture. As he moves from Genesis to Revelation, his stimulating study is exhaustive and demonstrates the richness and extensive scope of the theme. All serious students of the Bible, but particularly pastors and seminarians, will benefit from his impressive work. I have learned much from Mark, and you will as well.”
Christian Living
“Christopher Wright has given us a powerful and incisive analysis of the nature of idolatry both in biblical times and today. He spares no punches as he exposes the dangers of political idolatry, which has tempted many contemporary Christians. Importantly, he not only diagnoses the problem, he gives us the remedy. This book should be a must-read for Christians as they engage with the political process.”
30 Old Testament Passages with Deeper Meaning
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Michael Williams brings out the “hidden depths” of thirty Old Testament passages by careful attention to context and the details of the passage. He is not discovering some secret meaning, but rather brings out the surprising dimensions of the passage he is so skillfully reading. Written in an accessible and winsome style, this book is recommended for all lovers of the Bible.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“No one knows the prophecy of Micah more thoroughly than Bruce Waltke. No one is more deeply ingrained in the secondary literature that discusses and debates this prophet. No one is better positioned to be a helpful guide to the correct interpretation and application of this marvelous book. It's rare when a commentary is helpful to scholars, clergy, and laypeople alike, but Waltke has accomplished this masterfully.”
A Complete Handbook of Literary Forms in the Bible
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In this essential handbook, Ryken guides us to a proper understanding of the many literary forms of Scripture. Pastors and all readers of the Bible will deepen their understanding of God’s Word if they read this book cover to cover and keep it nearby for future reference.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“John Walton and Andrew Hill are two of the very best Old Testament scholars of my generation. I am so thankful they have updated their bestselling and influential textbook, A Survey of the Old Testament, for the next generation of students. I enthusiastically recommend it.”

A Time to Tear Down and a Time to Build Up
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Already established as one of the foremost interpreters of Hebrew wisdom literature, Fox presents a powerfully persuasive reading of the book of Ecclesiastes. Though enigmatic, Ecclesiastes, with its focus on life's 'absurdities,' is certainly one of the most relevant of the ancient writings of the Hebrew Bible. I recommend Fox's work for all serious Bible readers.”
Theology
“The first volume of Niehaus’s Biblical Theology focuses on the common grace covenants of the Bible (the Adamic and Noahic) and what he offers his readers is a culmination of a lifetime of reflection and study. This work must be taken into account in all future thinking about the important theme of covenant. All students of the Bible and theology will benefit from Niehaus’s insights that build on and advance previous research on the topic.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The events of 9/11 brought Christians a new level of concern, even anxiety, about the pervasive divine violence found in the Bible. How can a God of love be involved with and, even worse, bring harm against his human creatures? Webb and Oeste have thought long and hard with great biblical insight about this question. Everyone who struggles with the ethics of divine warfare needs to read Bloody, Brutal, and Barbaric? in order to gain a biblical perspective on this difficult subject.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Change doesn't happen overnight for the Christian. It's a lifelong journey. Paul Tripp and Tim Lane masterfully guide us along the biblical path that points us to the cross and a lifestyle of faith and repentance. I recommend this book to all Christians who desire to grow in their relationship with God.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“We seek God's presence, but sometimes we experience God's absence. Chloe Sun moves the theme of the absence of God found in the book of Esther and the Song of Songs from the margins to the center to remind us that 'experiencing divine absence is part of the faith journey.' She masterfully employs a sensitive understanding of genre, intertextuality, close reading, and the canon to disrupt our stereotypical understanding of God to lead us to a more profound faith. I enthusiastically recommend this book to all who want a better understanding of the Bible and, indeed, of God.”
Theology
“Douglas and Jonathan Moo have written a theologically profound assessment of the critical issue of creation care. Their analysis is scripturally sound and rich, and their understanding of our present predicament is insightful. Rather than browbeating their readers, they present a hopeful vision that will stir the church to action. Every Christian needs to read this important book.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Terence Fretheim explores the biblical materials to grapple with the devastation of natural disasters. He encourages readers to reconsider their traditional understanding of the relationship between God and suffering. I enthusiastically recommend Creation Untamed to all who want to be honest with the Bible and with life.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Michael Emlet has written a readable and insightful guide on how to move from the ancient text to our present situation. This book is especially important for counselors, pastors, and seminarians, but all thoughtful Christians will benefit from reading it.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Daniel invites us into a transcendental, unseen, and inaccessible world. Stephen Cook recognizes that this apocalyptic vision cannot be fully understood through historical-critical or grammatical methods alone. So Cook incorporates insights from analytic psychology, quantum mechanics, and more to vividly and powerfully reveal the richness of Daniel's divinely given revelation. Every reader of this commentary will gain from Cook's thoughtful and innovative exposition.”
Science & Faith
“Many Christians believe that theistic evolution is incompatible with the Bible because the former requires animal death before the Fall, while the Bible teaches that death began only with the first sin (Romans 5:12). Osborn successfully addresses this issue with a wealth of exegetical and theological insight. He further exposes the intellectual weakness and devastating spiritual consequences of the kind of literalism that leads to 'creation science.' This book is a must-read for all Christians (but particularly for pastors and other Christian leaders), especially for those who insist on a rigid literalistic approach to Genesis 1-2. It will also be an eye-opening introduction to religious ways of thinking about evolution for those nonbelievers who have assumed that the only alternative to 'scientific creationism' is the ultra-Darwinism of the so-called new atheists.”
