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.

Commentary On 1 Peter A Print On Demand Title
$43.99The work of a highly esteemed New Testament scholar, this commentary on I Peter has unparalleled breadth and depth and reflects a lifetime of devoted scholarship. Leonhard Goppelt presents here a rich exposition of I Peter that New Testament students and scholars will consult time and again with great profit.
Goppelt’s detailed section- by-section and phrase-by-phrase commentary is preceded by a complete, up-to-date bibliography and an extended introduction. Scattered throughout the commentary are special notes and excursuses on several themes and issues related to the text of the letter. The footnotes contain a wealth of bibliographical information, which has been updated by translator John Alsup, and an appendix by Alsup provides a brief appreciative survey of the life and works of Leonhard Goppelt. Besides its unusually thorough treatment of the biblical text and the history of interpretation, what distinguishes this commentary is Goppelt’s balanced focus on I Peter as a document setting forth social-ethical guidelines for Christians not just in the first century but in today’s world as well.
A scholarly Christian classic, this monumental commentary on I Peter will find a welcome place in seminary courses (New Testament, social ethics), in theological libraries, and in pastors’ studies.

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
$25.00This volume in the New International Biblical Commentary provides insightful answers for the modern reader confronted by the puzzles of James’s thoroughgoing Jewish character.

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.

1-3 John (Reprinted)
$25.00Author Tom Johnson combines familiarity with recent scholar ship and lucidity of thought and expression into a fine and readable commentary on the espistles of John. While packed full of exegetical, philosophical and historical notes that help the reader to make sense of the argument and thought of the epistles in their original setting, the commentary is not overloaded with the freight of technical jargon and debate. Johnson deftly leads the reader through difficult passages, but provides plenty to chew on in the process. The student who wants a reliable guide to the thought of the epistles will be well served by this volume.

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.

Planned and written specifically for teaching and preaching needs, this critically acclaimed biblical commentary is a major contribution to scholarship and ministry.
