Isaiah 40–66: A Commentary (Eerdmans Critical Commentary | ECC)
This Eerdmans Critical Commentary volume is
Shalom Paul’s comprehensive, all-inclusive study of the oracles of an
anonymous prophet known only as Second Isaiah who prophesied in the
second half of the sixth century B.C.E. Paul examines Isaiah 40–66
through a close reading of the biblical text, offering thorough exegesis
of the historical, linguistic, literary, and theological aspects of the
prophet’s writings. He also looks carefully at intertextual influences
of earlier biblical and extrabiblical books, draws on the contributions
of medieval Jewish commentators, and supports the contention that Second
Isaiah should include chapters 55–66, thus eliminating the need to
demarcate a Third Isaiah.

Minor Prophets, Part 2 (Forms of the Old Testament Literature Series | FOTL)
In this volume Floyd presents a complete form-critical analysis of the last six books in the Minor Prophets: Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. By looking carefully at the literary genre and internal structure of each book, Floyd uncovers the literary conventions that help shape the composition of these prophetic books in their final form. His approach yields fresh views of how the parts of each book fit together to make up the whole — particularly with respect to Nahum, Haggai, and Malachi — and provides a basis for reconsidering how each book is historically related to the time of the prophet for whom it is named. This work will be useful to scholars because it advances the discussion regarding the holistic reading of prophetic books, and useful to pastors and students because it shows how analysis of literary form can lead to a more profound understanding of the messages of the Minor Prophets.Add a Third Book for $5.99
Exodus (Eerdmans Critical Commentary | ECC)
In this new commentary on Exodus in the
Eerdmans Critical Commentary, scholar Thomas B. Dozeman examines the
book of Exodus under the rubric of the myriad literary genres that occur
in the book. Dozeman accepts the conclusions of the “literary” of
“higher criticism” movement and thus believes the book was composed over
time throughout Israel's history.

An Introduction to the Bible
An Introduction to the Bible provides a survey of the content of all biblical books, section by section, focusing on the Bible’s theological themes. Rather than introducing students to the Bible merely as history, literature, a record of political or ideological history, or a testimony to societies living or dead, authors Robert Kugler and Patrick Hartin stress that the Bible must be read as the text presents itself, as a theological witness to the nature of God and of humanity in relationship with God. Perfect for undergraduates, church study groups, and interested laypeople, Kugler and Hartin’s An Introduction to the Bible ably delivers on its title.The Gospel of John in Cultural and Rhetorical Perspective
Given all that has been written about the Gospel of John over the past twenty centuries, can anything more possibly be said about it? Yes, says Jerome Neyrey—by reading this "maverick Gospel" in terms of ancient rhetoric and cultural anthropology. By interpreting the text in these two fresh ways, Neyrey distinctively illuminates the Gospel of John, casting new light on its theological message and on such topics as Jesus practice of secrecy, foot-washing as transformation ritual, and the Jewish background of Jesus equality with God. Neyrey’s scholarly study will certainly educate—and at times provoke—attentive readers.
