Description
In this fine new commentary on Paul's letter to the Philippians, Stephen Fowl notes that for the great pre-modern commentators of the Christian tradition, the literal sense of Scripture is always regulated by theological concerns. Thus, unlike commentaries that simply append theology to historical criticism, Fowl's volume displays disciplined attention to the text of Philippians in ways that enhance rather than frustrate theological inquiry.

Description
The book of Joshua is often troubling - what should we make of the fact that the violent occupation of land is not simply presented, but celebrated? How can we reconcile that with the key role the book plays in the biblical drama of salvation?

This theological commentary on 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus by Robert Wall powerfully demonstrates the ongoing relevance and authority of the Pastoral Epistles for the church today. Wall uniquely employs an apostolic "Rule of Faith" methodology for interpreting these texts as sacred Scripture.

Description
The book of Revelation is perhaps the most theologically complex and literarily sophisticated -and also the most sensual -document in the New Testament. In this commentary, John Christopher Thomas's literary and exegetical analysis makes the challenging text of Revelation more accessible and easier to understand. Frank Macchia follows up with sustained theological essays on the book's most significant themes and issues, accenting especially the underappreciated...

Description
The letters from John written to churches at the end of the first century CE possess meaningful theological insight for Christians today-in a sense, they were written for us.
Working from this standpoint, Thomas Andrew Bennett keeps historical speculation to a minimum and delves into the theological depths of 1—3 John in this commentary. He begins by providing a new translation of the text from the Greek, along with verse-by-verse exegesis, and...
