Pauls Letter To The Romans
$52.00In this book, Peter Stuhlmacher stresses the Old Testament and postbiblical Jewish traditions as the primary backdrop to Paul’s thought, as these traditions were known by Paul himself or mediated to him through Jesus and the early church. The themes of the righteousness of God and the corresponding justification of both Jews and Gentiles are viewed as the center of Romans. Finally, Stuhlmacher seeks to place the apostle’s theology within its historical context. He overcomes the false dichotomy that has often characterized the study of Romans, mediating between the view that it is a general theological treatise that functions as Paul’s last testament to his Christian faith, on the one hand, and the view that it is one particular and occasion-bound expression of Paul’s thinking.

Revelation
$65.00In this well-known commentary originally published in the Zuercher Bibelkommentare series, Roloff attempts to give a new understanding of the book of Revelation. He argues, “the understanding of Revelation that has been favored down to the modern era is not satisfactory- the book does not intend to present an interpretation of church and/or world history, and it is a mistake to interpret particular images in terms of specific events and persons… John does not intend to provide a predetermined portrayal of the course of the world for the later church. Instead, in a very concrete, contemporary situation he is concerned that the oppressed interpret their situation in light of their faith in the reign of the exalted Christ over this history. Jurgen Roloff is Professor of New Testament at the University of Erlangen in Germany.

1-2 Chronicles
$85.00Because of the size and scope of I&II Chronicles, this commentary focuses on two main issues. According to the author, ” However, attention has mainly been directed to two other areas, which are the heart of the book: the literary aspect, where my goal was to shed light upon thee book as a historical composition and upon the methods and means chosen by the author to convey his ideas; and that of theology, where I meant to illuminate the author’s goals, the comprehensive structure of his spiritual world as reflected in the book, and his message. Because of limitation of time and space I could not devote all due attention to the history of exegesis and research. What I omitted is worthy of inclusion, though this was not possible.” This commentary is written in technical format and employs Hebrew and Greek (LXX) throughout the entire work.

Genesis 12-50 Abraham And All The Families Of The Earth Print On Demand Tit
$27.99This is a print on demand book and is therefore non-returnable.
J. Gerald Janzen approaches Genesis with the “conviction that the final form of the text is greater than the mere sum of its sources, and that the theological vision which it presents is greater and more profound — more ripe or mature — than can be gained simply from studies of historical events and social situations out of which the text arose.” This commentary on Genesis constitutes a profound theological work.

James

Jonah
$50.00Few parts of the Bible have captured the imagination of individuals in the way that the book of Jonah has. James Lim- burg examines this well known book, keeping several questions in mind: How did the story originate? What is its place in the Bible? How did the New Testament understand the story? How has the story been understood in Judaism and Islam? What might it mean for people today? And what does it have to say about God, about the human condition, and even about God and nature? In reviewing the book, Limburg gives special atten tion to the many contributions of artists, musicians, painters, and sculptors who, he says, may have been the best interpreters of Jonah. He also keeps in mind the literary dimension of the texts and takes great care to follow the divisions of the book as they were defined by Jewish scribal tradition.

Mark Volume 2 9-16 A Print On Demand Title
$53.99The fullest commentary ever to come out on the Gospel of Mark, this monumental work by Robert H. Gundry, reflecting years of painstaking scholarship, presents a well-argued alternative reading of the Greek text of Mark. Gundry turns from form and redaction criticism, both of which he considers largely inapplicable to Mark, to a very close reading of Mark’s text as it stands – a reading that pays special attention to such literary devices as word order, chiasm, inclusion, asyndeton, and the historical present tense.
Driving the commentary is Gundry’s provocative thesis that the Gospel of Mark constitutes a straightforward apology for the apparently shameful manner of Jesus’ death; as such Mark is essentially an evangelistic tract rather than an obliquely written handbook of Christian discipleship and church life. Besides positing this bold, seldom-defended thesis, Gundry’s commentary contains these features:
*Thoroughness of treatment, including extensive interaction with other interpretations and detailed discussions of authorship, date, etc.;
*A defense of the Papian tradition, including Mark as getting his materials from Peter;
*A rejection of the view that Mark 13 reflects the Jewish war of 66-70 C. E.
*A lengthy excursus on the Secret Gospel of Mark;
*A rejection of currently popular ironic, polemic, and other symbolic interpretations;
*New literary critical arguments supporting the view that Mark did not originally end at 16:8; and
*A massive bibliography.

Matthew : A Bible Commentary For Teaching And Preaching
$55.00Matthew in the Interpretation Commentary Series proceeds unit by unit, rather than verse by verse, to emphasize what each passage of Matthew means to the author of the Gospel and to the modern church. Douglas Hare shows that the purpose of Matthew’s writing is to convince Christians that a genuine faith in Christ must be demonstrated in daily obedience and that faith and ethics are two sides of the same coin. According to Hare, the turning point in Matthew is the narrative of Peter’s confession and the subsequent passion announcement. His commentary stresses the close connection between the Great Commission, with which the Gospel closes, and the moral imperatives of the Sermon on the Mount.

Deuteronomy : Word And Presence
$33.99In this commentary Ian Cairns presents Deuteronomy as a slowly evolving, complex composite – as legal code, as treaty text or covenant, as Moses’ farewell speech, and as the final volume of the Pentateuch. Despite Deuteronomy’s structural complexity, however, Cairns shows how the theme “Word and Presence” permeates the entire book: God is the living Presence who can be encountered and known through his word addressed to each generation in turn. This commentary is unique in its emphasis on the theology of Deuteronomy (e.g., law as “humane instruction”) as well as in its modern applications and illustrations from non-Western cultures.

Matthew 1-7
$83.33This commentary on MATTHEW 1-7, by Ulrich Luz, undertakes to draw lines to the present and to inquire, for example, about the implications of the Sermon on the Mount for the question of peace or the question of the form of the church. A great help in this regard is the treatment of the history of the influence of each pericope; this shows not only how Catholic or Protestant Christians have been molded by the biblical text but also where we might find correctives for our faith and life.

Judges : At Risk In The Promised Land
$24.99This theological treatment of the Book of Judges is fresh, original, imaginative, scholarly, and relevant. In his commentary E. John Hamlin pays careful attention to the structure and meaning of the text of Judges, and he elucidates the “risk” that Israel faced in the Promised Land – the risk of living among the “Canaanites,” of adopting their ungodly practices and their way of organizing society (the way of death). Hamlin’s characterizations of the various liberator judges are particularly thought-provoking.
Each chapter concludes with “Perspectives” on the text – reflections on the ancient context of the Judges accounts, insights from the Asian cultures among which Hamlin has lived and worked, and applications to modern situations.

Haggai
$48.33In this distinguished commentary, Wolff is concerned to defend Haggai as much more than a “minor” prophet. He was a man whose feet were placed firmly on the ground, one of the dominating figures of the postexilic community, the main instigator of the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple, and so responsible for inaugurating a new era in Jewish history. This commentary is verse by verse, includes the text written out for the reader, and offers excellent bibliographical information with detailed footnotes. Most appropriate for scholars and academics, rather than for laypeople who do not have a working knowledge of biblical Hebrew. Hans Walter Wolff is emeritus professor of Old Testament at the University of Heidelberg.

Ezekiel A Print On Demand Title
$39.99Hals analyzes in detail the structure and intention of the unusually long prophecies of Ezekiel. Because this prophet genuinely qualifies for the designation “theologian,” Hals devotes much attention to examining Ezekiel’s theological perspective and style. He argues that Ezekiel, despite his proclamations of judgment, is not a prophet of despair. Rather, Ezekiel affirms the stubborn grace of Israel’s sovereign Lord – the God who follows his people into the death of exile and loss of nationhood and promises them life out of death via a new exodus, a new “peoplehood,” and a new temple.

This commentary makes Hosea’s message available today to all who struggle with questions of gospel and culture, contextualization, idolatry, church and state, and interfaith dialogue.

Habakkuk And Zephaniah
$19.99Neither Habakkuk nor Zephaniah is very well known or understood by our generation. These Old Testament prophets, who were contemporary with Jeremiah, interpreted events leading up to the total destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian “king of kings and lord of lords,” in 597 and 587 B.C. Writing from within a Socialist society, Maria Eszenyei Szeles offers a unique perspective on Habakkuk and Zephaniah – a profoundly moving interpretation of the mystery of God’s apparent absence or weakness when his own people meet with intolerable suffering at the hands of a cruel totalitarian regime.

Wisdom Of Proverbs Job And Ecclesiastes
$24.99In the Wisdom literature of the Bible we first hear the cool voice of a teacher calling us to think–to think hard and humbly. “How long will fools hate knowledge?” cries Wisdom in the book of Proverbs. Then in Job comes the anguished voice of the questioner, earnest enough to seek answers, honest enough to doubt easy ones. In ecclesiastes the chastened tone of the Preacher warns of the vanity of all life under the sun. Sensitive to both literary form and theological content, Derek Kidner introduces Proverbs, Job and Ecclesiasters, explaining their basic character and internal structure. He also summarizes and evaluates the wealth of modern criticism focused on each book. Looking at all three books together, Kidner show how their many voices compare, contrast and ultimately give a unified view of life.
