Minor Prophets : A Theological Introduction
$45.99Add to cartThe good news from the Minor Prophets is that, even in dire times, God speaks.
While the Minor Prophets are among the most succinct books of the Old Testament, their theological richness has much to offer us today. And not only did they have something to say to their original audience, but God continues to speak through their words in ways that are of utmost importance for the continued flourishing of God’s people. In this unique introduction to the Minor Prophets, biblical scholars Craig Bartholomew and Heath Thomas survey the twelve books and explore the theological themes of each. Filled with helpful exegetical insights, this book is an invaluable guide for students, pastors, and scholars looking for a cohesive exploration of these often-overlooked books of the Hebrew Bible.
More than a survey of the text, each chapter offers theological insights that help frame the message of the Minor Prophets for preaching and living in our world today. This introduction contextualizes the Minor Prophets within a larger biblical-theological framework, illuminating these twelve books as masterful works of literature that address the realities of human life with unblinking honesty and uncompromising hope.

Habakkuk
$28.99Add to cartThe book of Habakkuk has much to teach us about suffering and complaint, faith and fear, and the fidelity of God in times of trouble; it generates reflection on prayer, peace, violence, and faithfulness. In this volume-one of the few commentaries examining Habakkuk by itself-Heath Thomas explores this overlooked Old Testament prophet in order to hear God’s address for us today.
Utilizing traditional biblical scholarship, Thomas draws from the well of Christian and Jewish interpretation through the centuries. The first part of his commentary is a theological exegesis that engages with both systematic and biblical theology. The second part reflects on the text from a theological perspective, looking for main themes and connections to the rest of the biblical canon.

Story Of Scripture
$19.99Add to cartOne of the most common sermonic axioms is that while the Bible contains 66 books, written by 40 authors, spanning over 1500 years, it is ultimately one book written by one author, the Holy Spirit, with one subject, Jesus Christ. But how is that so? How do these very different books– from Esther to Romans, Obadiah to John, Job to Revelation–fit together?
The Story of Scripture provides practical, Christ-centered ways that we can read the Bible as one book. Through an extended tour of the story of the Bible, from Creation and the Fall to Redemption and New Creation, Emerson shows that Scripture tells a coherent story centered on Jesus Christ. If we see how each part of the Bible is connected to that Christ-centered destination, we will understand how Esther, Job, Obadiah and all the rest are each landmarks on the journey leading to that goal.
