Trade Review"Joyce, one of the major experts on this biblical prophet, offers here a thorough commentary on a notoriously difficult book ... a significant contribution to Ezekiel studies." International Review of Biblical Studies, vol. 54:2007/08"Joyce's commentary certainly succeeds...A fine commentary that will prove to be an important contribution to Ezekiel scholarship." -Jason Gile, Biblical Interpretation, Vol. 18, 2010‘Joyce's vast knowledge of Ezekiel studies, reflected throughout the commentary, in not to be taken for granted - this is the most useful traditional commentary currently available.' -- The Scottish Journal of TheologyJoyce's vast knowledge of Ezekiel studies, reflected throughout the commentary, is not to be taken for granted- this is the most useful traditional commentary currently available. -- Journal of SJT[Ezekiel: A Commentary] will be useful to students and scholars on various levels and constitutes a helpful resource for theological and research libraries. -- Religious Studies ReviewMentioned in the Church TimesDr Joyce has put all students of prophecy in his debt with a clear, concise and up-to-date commentary on the book of Ezekiel. This is a thoroughly commended survey of recent studies of the most complex and controversial of the prophetic books of the Old Testament. It explains the problems and recounts and evaluates the proposed solutions to them. From a world where temple-symbolism, ritual-enforced holiness and grotesque visions provided an unfamiliar religious setting, Ezekiel emerges as a figure who upheld human responsibility and awareness of the fundamentally spiritual nature of hope. The commentary should do much to set Ezekiel as a worthy companion alongside the congenial figures of Isaiah and Jeremiah. --Ronald E. Clements, Emeritus Professor of Old Testament Studies, King's College, University of London"the commentary contains an extensive introduction that deals with issues of date, place, authorial unity/disunity, theological themes, allusions to earlier traditions, text and versions, place inb canon, and Ezekiel in later traditions" "The introduction is followed by a concise commentary" "Offers fresh insight into the book of Ezekiel. Joyce never merely repeats another scholar's opinion but always offers his own well-informed perspective. This book is a valuable additin to the literature devoted to the book of Ezekiel and it can be highly recommended" Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, Ex pository Times Vol.119 n.10 July 2008Paul Joyce's commentary on Ezekiel is warmly commended. It is unique in the way that it concentrates on Ezekiel's theology, thereby bringing his thought to life. -- Jacob Milgrom, Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies University of California at BerkeleyIt is a rare commentator who combines judicious historical research with genuine literary sensitivity, and Paul Joyce has done just that in this fresh and deeply insightful theological interpretation of the book of Ezekiel. Rich in exegetical detail but never bogged down by it, Ezekiel: A Commentary gets to the heart of Ezekiel's message, never losing sight of the thorny and fundamental question for understanding the book, What is Ezekiel saying about God and God's relation to his people? How does this most difficult to understand prophet deal with the knotty questions of divine justice and power in the wake of the crisis of exile? Learned, informative and engagingly written, this commentary is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the prophet and his by turns perplexing, bizarre, unsettling and oddly comforting message for a time of national catastrophe. -- J. Cheryl Exum, Professor of Biblical Studies, University of Sheffield"In this relatively short commentary, Paul Joyce - noted Ezekiel scholar and chair of the Society of Biblical Literature's section on 'Theological Perspectives on the Book of Ezekiel" - has given readers an eminently readable, balanced, and useful study of what is arguably the Hebrew Bible's most disturbing and perplexing prophetic book... Joyce sets out to combine a number of techniques, such as close literary readings, sensitive theological analysis, and historical reconstruction, and he does so in a such a way as to provide both a solid base of information for the novice as well as some more rigorous commentary for advanced scholars; thus, the book will prove to be just as at home on the shelves of graduate students and clergy as it will be on the shelves of seminary professors and seasoned theologians." --Brian R. Doak, Harvard University, Hebrew Studies 50 (2009) -- Brian R. Doak, Harvard University'Joyce has produced a fine commentary that will prove to be an important contribution to Ezekiel scholarship.' Biblical Interpretation -- Jason Gile"This important commentary has been many years in the making...Joyce's command of Ezekiel scholarships is impressive and this commentary is fully to be recommended to anyone seeking an up-to-date and balanced commentary on this prophetic book." -Society for Old Testament Study Booklist -- John DayJoyce's welcome treatment of Ezekiel in tradition provides extensive discussion of the role of Ezekiel in Judaism, Christianity, and even contemporary culture. He emphasizes the foundational role of the book in the development of the Merkavah tradition and correctly opines that apocalyptic and Merkavah literature may be related. -- Marvin A.

Book Synopsis2 Baruch is one of the more important apocalyptic writings among the Jewish Pseudepigrapha (written at the end of the 1st century AD and so contemporary with the New Testament). The Epistle is a message to the Jews of the Dispersion. Whitters is arguing that the document was once an authoritative text for a specific community, and gives us clues about the important era between the two Jewish wars of 70 and 132 AD, when Judaism was assuming radical new forms. This Epistle tells Diapora Jews how to live in a world without the Jerusalem Temple.Trade Review"In the present renaissance of pseudepigrapha study, the 'epistle' of the Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch (2 Baruch 78-87) seems to have been overlooked. This study is one of the first major attempts to address this important writing. The years following the fall of Jerusalem in 70 were traumatic ones in which various movements for religious reconstruction were pressing their visions for the future. The one that won out was the rabbinic model, but there were others. The Epistle of Second Baruch was unusual in reaching out to gentiles. Its proposal for leadership of the community was based on the Law but differed fundamentally from the rabbinic in its apocalyptic outlook. Whitters examines the Epistle in the light of epistolary models of letter-writing at the time, and in its literary and historical context, to provide new insights into this pivotal period in Jewish history." --Professor Lester Grabbe

Book SynopsisWhen Jonathan Aitken was in prison, he experienced a religious conversion. When he emerged into the light of day, he headed for Oxford where he read for and obtained a degree in theology. The Psalms have assumed a quite exceptional importance in his life. The Psalms are at the very heart of the Christian life and its liturgy - in them is found the whole range of human emotion, of triumph and despair. In this new book, Aitken expounds his own view of the Psalms, the fruit of much prayer, study and reflection. He has busy, stressed modern men and women and the forefront of his mind as he writes. Aitken was a successful businessman and financier before he ever entered government as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. He is fully aware of the enormous pressures on people in countless walks of life - as speed of communication increases and more and more people are obliged to live with targets hanging over them like the sword of Damocles.

Book SynopsisThis book is a textual and theological analysis of the interaction between the sin and faithlessness of Israel and the grace of Yahweh in response looking especially at Deuteronomy chapters 13 810 and 2930. The author argues that the grace of Yahweh is determinative for the ongoing relationship between Yahweh and Israel and that Deuteronomy anticipates and fully expects Israel to be faithless. Does the Old Testament have an optimistic outlook for the people of God ancient Israel or is it pessimistic The strands of optimism and pessimism seem to be juxtaposed throughout. In this study of Deuteronomy a lynchpin book within the Old Testament the socalled tensions between optimism and pessimism are slow to cohere theologically. Despite the faithlessness of Israel Yahweh's faithfulness to his promises results in the triumph of grace.

Book Synopsis'The Apostle Paul and His Letters' presents a detailed examination of the apostle's seminal writings in the Book of Acts. Paul was writing primarily to converts who had joined church communities only recently, mostly forsaking either Judaism or paganism. Paul's emphases on faithfulness toward God, the faithfulness of Jesus, and his moral teachings are always primary themes. The book discusses a range of topics: the circumstances that led Paul to write each letter; Paul's emphasis on the morality of the believers to whom he was writing; the influence of Old Testament, Qumran, and pagan writings on Paul's own; the intellectual and cultural context of the time; and how careful attention to Paul's language can shed light on his meaning.

Book SynopsisThese two small texts have often been outshone by other New Testament writings and have sometimes been regarded as of scant importance. Neither of them is easy to understand. Their language is sometimes difficult and the symbolism and biblical allusions are obscure to readers who do not know Jewish apocalyptic literature. Knight demonstrates that they do, however, repay careful study. They reveal a thought-world that is dominated by meditation on biblical literature, and they show how such material was interpreted to deal with problems in the life of certain unknown churches in the first century CE.

Book SynopsisThere is a story, one that runs from the beginning of creation itself, through thousands of years of human history. It is a story of triumph and disaster, miraculous deeds and terrible betrayals, divine justice and ultimate sacrifice, and of steadfast faith continuing down through generations and across continents to the present day. This is a story that is still being told, and will be finished only at the end of time. One remarkable chapter in that bigger story is the story of IFES, now 75 years long, with many incredible adventures along the way, just as there are in the books of Luke and Acts. In these 30 days of devotions, we can zoom in on a very important part of the Christian story, and take the lessons it teaches to strengthen our faith and enhance our witness today. Each day there is an opportunity to dig deeper into the themes that Luke uses to build his narrative of Christ and the church; to pray into the issues that Jesus, his disciples and the early church faced, and relate them to the changing times we live in now; to reflect on the passage and consider how we can respond; to explore the context of 'the wider story' in which these important events took place; and take a few minutes to meditate on an 'Evening Psalm' to recentre and bring us back to God after the activity of our day.Table of ContentsPART 1: LUKE DAY 1: The Promise - Luke 1:1-4, 26-56 DAY 2: Good News for Everyone - Luke 2:1-21 DAY 3: Rejected at Home - Luke 4:14-30 DAY 4: Surprising Faith - Luke 7:1-17 DAY 5: Doubting - Luke 7:18-35 DAY 6: Who's Feeding You? - Luke 9:10-27 DAY 7: Pride & Prejudice - Luke 9:43-56; 10:25-37 DAY 8: Mission Impossible? - Luke 10:1-24 DAY 9: Counting the Cost - Luke 14:7-35 DAY 10: Lost & Found - Luke 15:1-32 DAY 11: Too Proud?
