New Releases for June 2009
1 and 2 Thessalonians(TNTC)
The apostle Paul's correspondence with the church at Thessalonica provides a valuable glimpse into issues confronting the community. Leon Morris illuminates the original meaning and context of the letters and shows how they bear on the church today.
2 Peter and Jude (TNTC)
The Second Letter of Peter and the Letter of Jude both address false teaching - teaching that affects behaviour. Michael Green offers a penetrating analysis that sets both letters in their historical context and shows their relevance to life today.
Daniel (TOTC)
Daniel is a difficult book - but it is a book about the meaning of history, where God overrules and judges in human affairs. Joyce Baldwin's valuable commentary includes discussion of interpretative and critical issues, and additional notes on key topics.
Darwin, Creation and the Fall
2009 is the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin. This volume focuses on aspects of the relationship between the modern scientific, evolutionary understanding of human origins and the biblical story of human origins, the Fall and sin.
Ezekiel (TOTC)
For most Bible readers Ezekiel is almost a closed book. Its structure, however, if not its thought and language, has a basic simplicity. Taylor's commentary offers a portrait of the prophet and places his prophecies within their historical settings.
Hosea (TOTC)
The remarkable story of Hosea's marriage sets the stage for the prophet's message of God's enduring love, righteous judgment and persistent offer of reconciliation. David Hubbard's commentary explores the historical, cultural, literary and theological dimensions of the book.
I Once was a Buddhist Nun
The search for truth took Esther Baker deep into Buddhism. Yet it wasn't until Jesus Christ disturbed her monastic life that her longings really began to be fulfilled. This gripping story depicts her journey from emptiness to fullness of life, and from idolatry to worship of the living God.
Interpreting Isaiah
Isaiah is a high point of the Old Testament prophetic literature, and has been formative to the identity of God's people. This presentation of evangelical scholarship assumes some foundational knowledge and guides readers through a variety of issues and approaches.
James (TNTC)
Many have argued that the epistle of James is not theological. However, separation between theology and practice leads to the very mindset against which James inveighs. Moo's exposition of these themes illuminates the letter and its message for us today.
Joel and Amos (TNTC)
Joel's imagery has shaped the church's eschatological vision of a day of wrath; Amos's indictments have periodically awakened the conscience of God's people. David Hubbard's commentary is a valuable guide to the fascinating world and challenging word of these prophets.
The Pastoral Epistles (TNTC)
In his letters to Timothy and Titus, Paul is concerned with church order, defending correct doctrine and passing on the faith. Donald Guthrie provides a strong defence of the letters' Pauline authorship, and brings out their deep pastoral wisdom.
Revelation (TNTC)
The book of Revelation has been subjected to wildly different interpretations. Why? 'Its symbolism belongs to the first century, not to our own age,' says Leon Morris, who explains the metaphors and symbols and their significance for the church today.
The Acts of the Apostles (PNTC)
David Peterson offers thorough exegesis, exposition and practical contemporary application of the book of Acts, drawing on recent scholarship in narrative criticism and theological analysis, incorporating insights into historical-social background, and investigating Luke's presentation of his material.
The Letters of John (TNTC)
John Stott's commentary shows how John longs to protect the recipients of his letters - his 'dear children', his 'dear friends' - from both error and evil, and to see them firmly established in faith, love and holiness.
The Song of Solomon
This Old Testament love story, with its strange and erotic imagery, has fascinated and perplexed - and embarrassed - its interpreters. Lloyd Carr skilfully explains the book's meaning in a way that can be clearly grasped and applied by Christians today.
The Unquenchable Flame
The Protestant Reformation was a key period in church history. In this lively introduction, Michael Reeves brings the Reformers to life, unpacks their ideas, and shows the profound and personal relevance of Reformation thinking for today.
This Momentary Marriage
Marriage is temporary and finally gives way to the relationship to which it was pointing all along: Christ and the church. John Piper looks at the unexpected contours of marriage, and its weighty implications for married, single, divorced and remarried alike.
