Theological Interpretation of Scripture (Cascade Companions)
Christians have been interpreting Scripture with an aim of deepening their life with God and each other from the very beginning of the church. The past 20 years or so have witnessed an explosion of scholarly writing devoted to the theological interpretation of Scripture. Stephen Fowl, as an active participant in and contributor to the burgeoning literature, has written an ideal companion for guests at the “large and somewhat chaotic party,” introducing them to important people, texts, and issues.
Song of Solomon: Heavenly Love (Welwyn Commentary Series | WCS)
"In all the world there is nothing to equal the day on which the Song of Songs was given to Israel, for all the Scriptures are holy, but the Song of Songs is the Holy of Holies." This statement by a second-century rabbi contrasts sharply with the attitude of some Christians today, who apparently have little place for this book in their thinking or practice. They hardly ever quote it, read it, or reflect on it. Such extremes remind us that the book has sometimes been controversial. More than one scholar has called the Song of Songs the most difficult book to interpret in the Old Testament. Gary Brady adopts the view that, when he wrote, the biblical author had in mind both a natural and a spiritual understanding, and that those who originally received the book as Scripture understood it both in terms of human love and intimacy and as a portrait of the loving relationship between God and his people. In our own day a study of this ancient book is crucially needed in both these...
The Letter to the Hebrews in Social-Scientific Perspective (Cascade Companions)
A great deal of mystery surrounds the book of Hebrews, especially regarding its authorship, date, and audience. However, by asking the right kind of questions, one can move beyond the impasses typical of historical investigation of the book. In this volume, David deSilva explores Hebrews through a social-scientific lens, asking one of the most important questions when interpreting letters and sermons: What was going on in the community to occasion such a response?
New Testament Theology: A New Study of the Thematic Structure of the New Testament
Julius Scott has a passion for the studying and teaching the New Testament. He carefully unfolds seven themes in the New Testament by answering these seven questions: Who is Jesus? What must I do to be saved? How should a Christian live? What is the Church? What is the church's relation to society? How shall it end? What does the New Testament teach us about God? These are vital questions for all Christians—indeed the answers to them will inform and influence every aspect of our lives. Dr. Scott carefully brings together all the evidence from the New Testament to help us do just that.
Come, Lord Jesus: Meditations on the Second Coming of Christ
Many people are curious about the second coming of Christ—what it will be like, when it will happen, and what signs will come first. In his latest book, Come, Lord Jesus, John Piper addresses all these issues, but stresses that those who love the second coming of Christ will receive a crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:6–8).
Paul and the Creation of Christian Identity (Library of New Testament Studies | LNTS/JSNTS)
Paul and the Creation of Christian Identity argues that diversity in Christ was fundamental to and recognized by Paul, particularly in his ethical guidance. Paul’s relation to Judaism is best understood not as a reaction to his former faith but as a transformation resulting from his vision of Christ. In this the past is not obliterated but transformed. Thus, continuity is maintained so that the identity of Christianity is neither that of a new religion nor of a Jesus cult. In Christ the past is reconfigured and the diversity of humanity continues within the church, which can celebrate the richness of differing identities under the Lordship of Christ.

2 Samuel: Your Kingdom Come (Preaching the Word | PtW)
King David stands as one of the most important figures of world history. From children’s storybooks to Michelangelo’s famous statue, ancient Israel’s most famous king is still remembered and recognized by people around the world three thousand years after he lived. In this commentary on the book of 2 Samuel, professor and former pastor John Woodhouse helps readers deepen their understanding of David’s tumultuous reign by highlighting his place in salvation history—a history that began with Israel but now encompasses God’s plan for the whole world. What’s more, he shows that the concept of the kingdom of God is crucial to the whole storyline of the Bible . . . and for our lives today. Designed as a trustworthy resource for pastors who preach and teach on a regular basis, this commentary makes the case that David’s story is relevant because it lays the crucial foundation for the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, “the Son of David.”
God So Loved the World: A Study of Christian Doctrine
Christian doctrine centers on Christ and what he did for his church at Calvary. Author Lyle Lange’s thorough exposition on Scripture clarifies both the Bible’s basic and its more difficult teachings. Then, as he expounds the heart of each teaching, he shows how they all relate to God’s message of salvation in his Son. For God So Loved the World is written to strengthen belief and encourage Christians to boldly share the gospel. Seven sections on biblical theology cover a host of topics, including the Trinity, justification, sanctification, and Christ’s threefold office. Lange also examines Scripture and Lutheran Confessions, and includes subject indices for easy reference.
Early Christian Creeds
This work is a comprehensive study of both the well- and the lesser-known creeds. J. N. D. Kelly presents the rise, development, and use of formularies in the creative centuries of the Church’s history. The book opens with an examination of creedal elements in the New Testament and continues with an enquiry into the relation of creeds to the rite of baptism. Kelly then studies the evidence for ‘the rule of faith’ in the second century, discusses the old Roman Creed, and finally, considers the cr...
