In
Exodus 34 Moses asks to see God’s glory, and God reveals himself as a
God who is merciful and just. James Hamilton Jr. contends that from this
passage comes a biblical theology that unites the meta-narrative of
Scripture under one central theme: God’s glory in salvation through
judgment.
Hamilton begins in the Old Testament by
showing that Israel was saved through God’s judgment on the Egyptians
and the Caananites. God was glorified through both his judgment and
mercy, accorded in salvation to Israel. The New Testament unfolds the
ultimate display of God’s glory in justice and mercy, as it was God’s
righteous judgment shown on the cross that brought us salvation. God’s
glory in salvation through judgment will be shown at the end of time,
when Christ returns to judge his enemies and save all who have called on
his name.
Hamilton moves through the Bible book by
book, showing that there is one theological center to the whole Bible.
The volume’s systematic method and scope make it a unique resource for
pastors, professors, and students.
It’s easy to get bogged down in the minutiae of word-by-word,
verse-by-verse exegesis—picking over familiar passages in such detail
can sometimes render them flat and uninspiring. Worse, in the hands of
scholars writing for scholars, even the most profound research can
become stupefying and impenetrable. The Reading the Old Testament series
helps you rediscover the Hebrew Bible with cutting-edge
scholarship—whether you’re a specialist or lay person. Expert authors
such as James Crenshaw, Marvin Sweeney, and Mark Biddle
focus on the larger literary and thought units of a given book,
highlighting how they function in the work as a whole. Utilizing a broad
array of reading strategies and critical approaches, these scholars
help you become a more competent, more engaged, and more enthusiastic
Bible reader.

Title: Smyth and Helwys Reading the Old Testament Commentary Series
“To relish the feast that is Scripture, we
need to use multiple models.” A Christian never gains all that Scripture
offers by reading it with just one approach. Yet too often this is
attempted—whether through an academic obsession with the
historical-critical method or through a consumerist approach that seeks
only the motivation of the moment. Mark Reasoner broadens the options
for scriptural engagement by describing five models of Scripture:
documents, stories, prayers, laws, and oracles. To illustrate each, he
uses examples from throughout the history of interpretation. While he
concedes that certain books of the Bible will naturally lend themselves
to particular models, Reasoner shows how an appreciation for all five
will enrich one’s scriptural insights while also bridging divides
between the various branches of the Christian family.
This is a bold book. It has to do with
changing the life of American society, from the inside out, through
"source action" of prayer.
"I have written a book for Christians," says Eugene Peterson, "who want
to do something about what is wrong with America and want to plunge into
the center, not tinker at the edge. I have chosen eleven psalms that
shaped the politics of Israel and can shape the politics of America, and
I have taken them seriously...I have written to encourage Christians to
pray them both as children of God with eternal destinies and as
American citizens with daily responsibilities in caring for our nation."
Peterson is concerned with the "unselfing" of our self-preoccupied,
self-bound society through the action of praying together with other
believers. He offers insightful, thought-provoking reflections on eleven
select psalm-prayers that can help us overcome such things as
self-centeredness, self-assertiveness, self-righteousness,
self-sufficiency,...
One of the earliest Christian
confessions—that Jesus is Messiah and Lord—has long been recognized
throughout the New Testament. Joshua Jipp shows that the New Testament
is in fact centered around this foundational messianic claim, and each
of its primary compositions is a unique creative expansion of this
common thread. Having made this argument about the Pauline epistles in
his previous book Christ Is King: Paul’s Royal Ideology, Jipp works
methodically through the New Testament to show how the authors proclaim
Jesus as the incarnate, crucified, and enthroned messiah of God.
In four superb homilies and a concluding essay,
Joseph Ratzinger, provides a clear and inspiring exploration of the
Genesis creation narratives.
While the stories of the world’s creation and the fall of humankind have
often been subjected to reductionism of one sort or another—literalists
treat the Bible as a science textbook whereas rationalists divorce God
from creation—Ratzinger presents a rich, balanced Catholic understanding
of these early biblical writings and attests to their enduring
vitality.
It has become commonplace in contemporary culture to
divorce spirituality from religion and regard the two as separate,
competing entities. Yet Prosper Grech, an Augustinian father and
professor of early Christian literature, recognizes no such distinction.
The Christian religion, he finds, is infused with spirituality—which he
defines not in a New Age sense but rather as the believer's full
response to God's offer of salvation in Christ." In this book, Grech
presents the essential spiritual themes of Christian belief for
meditation by any who seek to live out their Christian faith in its
fullness.

Hebrews Verse by Verse (Osborne New Testament Commentaries)
In Hebrews Verse by Verse, the late Grant R.
Osborne, with George H. Guthrie, shows readers how this beautifully
crafted letter encourages believers to endure in faithfulness to Jesus.
By using Scripture and theology to lay the foundation for these
exhortations, the central message of Hebrews continues to be relevant
for the church today. Osborne’s commentary delves into the grand
implications of Christ’s identity and its importance for our spiritual
lives.
James M. Hamilton provides a fresh
translation and canonical interpretation of the Psalms. Though commonly
read in isolation, the Psalms are best read as a collage that tells a
story of God’s faithfulness to his people through his king. Following
the introductory Psalms 1–2, Hamilton observes the significance of the
Psalter’s intentional macro-structuring and intricate links across
neighboring psalms. Hamilton interprets with a literary sensitivity and
an eye towards canonical connections. Learn where the Psalms belong in
the redemptive story, how they relate to God’s people, and how they find
their fulfillment in Jesus.
As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament,
so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of
Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history
of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old
Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and
poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and
focus the experiences of Augustine’s personal life, his theological
reflections and his pastoral concerns as...
A reader-friendly guide to the life and teachings of the Jesus of the Gospels
The Jesus of the Gospels
brings together the best elements of a survey of the Gospels and a
commentary on the Gospels to help readers know Jesus and understand the
good news. Drawing on decades of experience teaching and writing on the
Gospels, Andreas Köstenberger presents a holistic portrait of Jesus by
leading readers through an in-depth study of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
John.Each chapter explores one gospel account, beginning with a short
introduction that highlights the gospel’s individual distinctives,
followed by an outline of the book. Köstenberger breaks each gospel into
short sections, explaining the meaning and how it sheds light on Jesus
and His mission. Numerous sidebars, maps, and diagrams highlight
supplemental information, and regular “Recap” sections summarize key
points. For those interested in further study, footnotes point to useful
resources. In addition to helping readers follow the storyline and
theology of each gospel, Köstenberger also emphasizes practical
application, showing readers how to apply what they’re learning to their
lives.
Ideal for those who are new to the study
of the Gospels, and for instructors looking for an accessible
introduction based on solid scholarship, The Jesus of the Gospels offers readers and students to the riches of the Gospels and a deeper knowledge of Jesus and the good news.
one of the useful features is the dictionary where you can find all the available forms of a Greek word (with NT occurrences in one page. Other features: flash cards, Parsing Practice etc)
The Psalms can be very helpful, but they can
also be hard. Following on from The Way of the Righteous in the Muck of
Life and Slogging Along the Paths of Righteousness, Dale Ralph Davis
delves into Psalms 25 to 37. Using his own recognisable humour and
razor–sharp observations these expositions help us to engage with the
conflict in these twelve psalms.
As Though We Were Dreaming: A Commentary on the Songs of Ascents for Lent
The Eastern Christian liturgical tradition of Lent has long included the chanting of the Songs of Ascents (Pss 120-134)
as “entrance songs” of not only the special penance service known as
the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, but also of the season of
repentance. Ruckhaus’ commentary in As Though We Were Dreaming provides
theological insight and exegetical breadth to this group of Psalms.

Genesis 1-4: A Linguistic, Literary, And Theological Commentary
Much controversy surrounds the opening
chapters of Genesis. They are front-loaded with all manner of vital
topics—such as God's work of creating the world and mankind; what it
means to be human; why our present experience is so different from what
we find in Genesis 2; how we come to know God and to be sure of his
love.
Collins employs a literary-theological method informed by contemporary
discourse analysis in order to read passages as coherent wholes. He
shows how later biblical and inter-testamental writers have used Genesis
1–4 and reflects on how these chapters shape a Christian worldview
today.

For Us and for Our Salvation: The Doctrine of Christ in the Early Church
Dr. Stephen J. Nichols
The belief that Christ is the God-man is definitive of Christian
orthodoxy and imperative to a right understanding of the gospel. By
the middle of the fifth century, the church had wrestled with many
challenges to the biblical portrayal of Christ and, in response to
those challenges, had formulated the doctrine of Christ that
remains the standard to this day. This look to the past helps as
Christians contend with present-day challenges and seek to answer
Christ's question-"Who do people

own time. For twentieth-century Christians, who also know the peculiar
