  • Building A Theological Library: Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Thessalonians

    Several weeks ago, we covered the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament portion of the Building A Theological Library series. Just to reiterate, these are my preferences and what make up my library (for the most part). There are definitely some great resources I’ve overlooked. What I’m trying to do here is give you what…

  • Matthew (ZECNT)

    As I mentioned a couple weeks back, I want to start rolling out more preview-type reviews. I’ve got several larger volumes that I am actually putting to use in classroom prep and thought it apt to preview them for you. One such volume is Grant Osborne’s Matthew commentary in the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the…

  • Building A Theological Library: The Gospels and Acts

    Last week, I introduced the New Testament portion of the Building A Theological Library series. Just to reiterate, these are my preferences and what make up my library (for the most part). There are definitely some great resources I’ve overlooked. What I’m trying to do here is give you what I typically look for, and in…

  • Building A Theological Library: New Testament Commentaries

    Several months back, almost 6 to be precise, I finished up a series on building a theological library focused on Old Testament commentaries. I had meant to carry right on to the New, but one thing lead to another, and well here we are picking up the NT many months later. Much like I did…

  • Preaching The New Testament

    Back in February I think it was, I retweeted a link to a new collection of essays from IVP Academic called Preaching The New Testament. A few weeks later I was surprised to find a copy in my mailbox, but that’s just how awesome Adrianna Wright is over at IVP.[ref]She can almost read my mind when it comes…

He has written several books and is not only the author of the book at hand, Interpreting the Pauline Letters: An Exegetical Handbook, but serves as the NT series editor. Future titles will include…

  • The Epistle To The Hebrews (NICNT)

    Gareth Lee Cockerill is professor of New Testament and biblical theology at Wesley Biblical Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi. He has previously contributed to a book on the warning passages in Hebrews, as well as written numerous journal articles related to Hebrews. Now, he has gifted us with the newest installment in the NICNT series, which…

  • Jesus Is Lord, Casear Is Not

    In early April, IVP Academic sent me a copy of Jesus is Lord, Caesar is Not: Evaluating Empire in New Testament Studies. I don’t think I formally requested it since it is a bit more of a niche NT book than I would normally read. But I was definitely intrigued, especially after reading Peter Leithart’s…

  • Scripture and Tradition: What The Bible Really Says

    Edith M. Humphrey is the William F. Orr Professor of New Testament at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. She has written a few books including Grand Entrance: Worship on Earth as in Heaven and And I Turned To See The Voice (in Baker’s Studies in Theological Interpretation series). Here in Scripture and Tradition: What The Bible Really…

  • 40 Questions About Interpreting the Bible

    Way back in January, I reviewed Paul’s Missionary Methods: In His Time and Ours. The book was edited by Robert Plummer and John Mark Terry, the former of whom got in touch with me over Facebook and offered me the opportunity to review his other book, 40 Questions About Interpreting the Bible. I already had a…
