  • Paul and Union With Christ: An Exegetical and Theological Study

    Constantine R. Campbell is a senior lecturer in Greek and New Testament at Moore Theological College. He brings a very strong Greek background to this study of Paul as you can see from his previous publications (like Verbal Aspect, the Indicative Mood, and Narrative (Studies in Biblical Greek) and Verbal Aspect and Non-Indicative Verbs (Studies in Biblical Greek) as…

  • Prepositions and Theology In The Greek New Testament

    Murray J. Harris is professor emeritus of New Testament exegesis and Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Before that, he was Warden of Tyndale House, which if you didn’t know (and it’s ok if you didn’t) is a biblical research library in Cambridge, England (I think they need an Orlando extension campus). Despite all that,…

  • Handbook on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament

    G. K. Beale is the kind of guy who reads books while brushing his teeth. In fact, he read The Resurrection of The Son of God a few pages a day this way. In some ways, that’s about all you need to know about the kind of scholar Beale is. “Meticulous” sounds petty, but Beale is that…

Buy it: Amazon | Westminster Read an excerpt Visit the publisher’s page Thanks to Crossway for the review copy! Generally speaking, I try to read anything Carl Trueman writes.

  • Nothing Is Impossible With God

    I was initially hesitant to take part in this blog tour for Nothing Is Impossible With God. Not because I lack enthusiasm for most New Growth Press releases, but rather I wasn’t sure if I’d really connect with the book. Consider the description: No one likes to feel weak. Just thinking about our inadequate resources can fill…

  • A Charitable, Yet Critical Review of A Year of Biblical Womanhood

    I think this is the best I’ve read, both in terms of charity toward Evans, and in terms of critical insight. It’s nice to read a review that doesn’t a) fawn over the book like its the best thing ever or b) demonize Evans as the worst author ever. A Charitable, Yet Critical Review of…
