Memoirs of an Unfinished Tale

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Drawing from certain aspects and features of the historical novel, the narrative sermon, and the exegetical commentary, Whitters creatively performs a new genre of biblical interpretation by retelling the story of the Acts of the Apostles. His performance sets the story in the historical and cultural setting of first-century Jews and Gentiles and their world. The boundary between the first and the twenty-first centuries, however, dissolves as Whitters entices the modern reader to leave the spectator's seat and to enter the story as a participant . . .”

Memoirs of How It All Began

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Memoirs of How It All Began, Whitters bridges the yawning gap between scholarship and everyday life and between divine revelation in Scripture and subjective spirituality. Like a skilled movie producer, Whitters takes the old written movie about Jesus’ life first produced by the Evangelist Luke and remakes it for a contemporary audience. Beyond vividly portraying Christ crucified before their eyes, Whitters compels the audience to enter the Lukan story as performers and to react to the dramatic characters and unfolding events. This prequel to Whitters’s Memoirs of an Unfinished Tale is sure to capture the attention of modern audiences, and I give it two-thumbs up!”

Paul and the Corinthians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Paul and the Corinthians, Paul Duff brings his career-long investigation into the Corinthian correspondence to its ultimate fruition. Through judicious assessment of the evidence in these letters, he produces a coherent explanation for both their composition and canonization. This comprehensive synthesis of the Pauline mission and the Corinthian correspondence should inform all future studies of these letters.”

Reading 1 Peter After Supersessionism

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Reading 1 Peter after Supersessionism, Liebengood provides the most complete and thorough post-supersessionist reading of 1 Peter to date. Moving beyond the recognition that this letter is silent on the status of Jews in God’s new salvific plan in Christ, Liebengood demonstrates that instead of replacing Israel with the church, this letter emplaces its gentile recipients in an Israelhood composed of both Jew and gentile. This book makes a significant contribution to the conversation of how to read 1 Peter in new ways that foster Jewish- Christian relations.”

Steward of God's Mysteries

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“An extensive and sustained argument against sensationalist claims that Paul was the inventor or second founder of Christianity or that he somehow corrupted the pure religion of Jesus. Sumney’s careful historical approach situates Paul within pre-Pauline and non-Pauline traditions in the earliest church and presents Paul as more of a transmitter than an innovator of these traditions. Enormously helpful to students and scholars alike.”
