Biblical Studies & Commentaries
Foreword
“We should all be thankful to Dr. Samuel Goh for producing this insightful guide to the conventions of Hebrew poetry. In addition, he not only gives us the principles, but also outstanding examples of poetic analysis from passages in Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and Job. I was privileged to have Dr. Goh as a student when I taught at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia in the 1990s and have been pleased to see how he has gone on to establish himself as a leading scholar in Old Testament studies. This book is thus important for every serious student of the Hebrew Bible who wants to uncover the message that God, through his human authors, intended us to learn from the fascinating and powerful poems of the Old Testament.”
The Best Kept Secret of Christian Mission
Evangelism & Missions
“John Dickson has given us a biblically rich and powerfully written book on evangelism. His views are deeply embedded in Scripture and wellrounded. He does not fall into formulas, but encourages us toward a lifestyle of living and speaking the gospel in our culture today. I recommend this book to those whose passion for evangelism has flagged as well as for those who are actively sharing Christ with their friends and neighbors.”
The Book of Daniel, Chapters 1–6
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Buster and Walton’s commentary is the most complete and up-to-date scholarly treatment of Daniel 1–6 available. All future studies will learn from their work and will take it into account. It’s a wonder that this deep dive into the book’s first six chapters is also accessible and profitable for clergy and interested laypeople. I am already looking forward to Volume 2.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Hosea's complexities begin with translation and extend to its rich use of imagery. Andrew Dearman brings his considerable skills as a Hebraist and historian as well as his expert literary and theological sensitivities to bear on the interpretation of this important book. Serious engagement with the book of Hosea now starts with Dearman's commentary.”
The Book of Proverbs, Chapters 1-15
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Meticulous, insightful, illuminating, erudite, devotional, rich, thoughtful, and wise. All of these words describe this important commentary. . . Everyone who seriously studies Proverbs needs to read this work.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The book of Zechariah fascinates us and informs us about the postexilic Judean community's relationship with God. Mark Boda, a master of this time period and this genre, opens up the book to readers today. His commentary is clear and profound, informative and illuminating. Everyone who studies Zechariah must read Boda's work, which makes an important contribution to scholarship and to the church.”
The Books of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Robertson has produced an outstanding volume that treats three of the lesser-known Old Testament prophecies. He writes in a clear style with an emphasis on the rich theological meaning of these prophets and with a pastor’s insight regarding their relevance to Christians today.”
Science & Faith
“Michael Strauss has a rare combination of being a world-class physicist as well as a devout and sensitive reader of the Bible. Here he argues that the big bang theory not only is consistent with but actually supports the biblical depiction of creation. I recommend this well-written book for all who are interested in the relationship between science and faith.”
Christian Living
“As a former faculty member and a present trustee at Westmont College, I have witnessed Gayle Beebe's outstanding leadership firsthand. He has skillfully led the college through good times as well as moments of crisis. In The Crucibles That Shape Us he draws on his extensive experience to share his profound wisdom about leadership in a way that will enhance his readers' leadership abilities. This book is a must-read for all who want to grow in their capacity to lead with effectiveness, skill, and compassion.”
The Dance Between God and Humanity
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Now in his eighties, Bruce Waltke remains one of the sharpest minds in biblical studies today. How wonderful to have this selection of his studies collected together. . . . I enthusiastically recommend this volume to all students, teachers, and scholars.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Bartholomew and Goheen do a masterful job of presenting the Bible as an organic whole. They powerfully demonstrate how the themes of covenant and the kingdom of God provide a coherence for Scripture that helps the reader make sense of its varied parts. I enthusiastically recommend this book as a university-level textbook, but all who want to enrich their understanding of the account of God’s redemptive plan will benefit from reading it.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Many Christians fear their emotions. They worry their emotions will control them and make them do or say something they will regret. In his excellent and highly readable book The Emotions of God, David Lamb reminds us that emotions can be 'normal, natural, even divine.' After all, he shows us, God has a rich emotional life himself. Those who read this book will grow not only in their understanding of God but also of themselves.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Old Testament tells of God's creation and the redemption of his people. Granted, it is a story that climaxes in the New Testament, but the New Testament cannot be understood apart from the Old. Christians have neglected the study of the Old Testament because (if we are honest) we find it confusing and distant from Jesus Christ, the center of our faith. Sandra Richter's The Epic of Eden helps the reader discover the riches and passion of the Old Testament story. This book will not only expand your knowledge, it will deepen your spiritual life.”
The Fate of Saul’s Progeny in the Reign of David
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
Foreword
(wrote the foreword)
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Was there a ‘Fall’? Was there an ‘original sin’? The prolific author Mark Smith offers insight and writes with clarity and profundity on these pivotal topics that are so vital to biblical theology. While not all will agree with every element of his analysis of the relevant texts, his reflections will provoke better understanding and further discussion. All those who are interested in these important questions will have to reckon with Smith’s perspective.”
The Genre of Biblical Commentary
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“We have many commentaries on Old Testament books, but little reflection on the genre itself, a lack remedied by The Genre of Biblical Theology, a collection of essays from writers who are insightful and experienced commentary writers. How fitting it is that this volume celebrates the career of John Hartley, a scholar who provided the academy and the church with important commentaries himself. This volume should be read by all those write and who read commentaries.”
“There are so many books about the Bible and theology out there, how is a person supposed to figure out what to include in their personal library? Buying and reading a book involves time and money so you don’t want to make a bad decision. That is what makes Robert Yost’s Layperson’s Library so helpful. I find it amazing that Yost not only evaluates commentaries, but so many other resources that are helpful to Bible readers. I recommend this guide to everyone who wants to build a library to assist them in understanding of the faith.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Liturgy of Creation is an important book for many reasons. LeFebvre helps us understand the Israelite calendar in relationship to the significant annual festivals that were so central to the life and theology of the Old Testament people of God. His work on the calendar itself is worth reading, but he goes further and draws crucial conclusions concerning creation in a way that affects the present debate over the relationship between science and faith. This book is essential reading for all serious students of the Old Testament.”
Science & Faith
“John Walton offers a compelling and persuasive interpretation of Genesis, one that challenges those who take it as an account of material origins. His excellent book is must-reading for all who are interested in the origins debate.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Bible describes God who acts in history, in space, and time. The Moody Bible Atlas is the best resource I know to acquaint readers of the Bible with the space of God's acts. Beitzel's writing is interesting and clear, and the maps and illustrations are outstanding. Every reader of the Bible should have this book.”
