  Additional Info
  In this volume an expert teacher of the Bible provides an introduction to New Testament exegesis that will appeal to students across the spectrum. Clayton Croy begins with the preparation of the interpreter, proceeds to analysis of the text, and concludes with appropriation of the message of Scripture in the context of modern faith communities. He combines a step-by-step plan for historical exegesis with substantive discussion of broader hermeneutical issues. The book interacts with recent scholarship and is academically rigorous but is written in an engaging style, incorporating anecdotes, humor, scriptural illustrations, and examples of the practical payoff of disciplined interpretation. Each chapter includes discussion questions and suggestions for further reading.

  Mutilation Of Marks Gospel

  $29.99

  In modern scholarship, Mark is usually viewed as the first of the Gospels; therefore, literary critics have carefully investigated its overall structure and interpretation. But Croy argues that the book has suffered physical damage at both its beginning and end, so this must temper all one’s conclusions.

  Endurance In Suffering

  $162.66

  Hebrews 12:1-13 portrays the suffering of its readers with two images: an athletic contest, and God’s fatherly discipline. N. Clayton Croy places this important passage in the context of Jewish and Greco-Roman traditions. He argues that the idea of “training” unites the passage, which presents Jesus as the supreme athlete. It also supports a nonpunitive understanding of discipline, in which God’s children undergo a positive process of education. These ideas combine to support a call in Hebrews to faithful endurance rather than repentance.
