William B Eerdmans Publishing Co Letter to the Galatians
Book SynopsisNew volume in a favorite Bible commentary series. Writing a commentary on Galatians is a daunting task. Despite its relative brevity, this Pauline letter raises a number of foundational theological issues, and it has played a vital role in shaping Christian thought and practice over the centuries.In this replacement of Ronald Y. K. Fung's 1988 New International Commentary volume, David deSilva ably rises to the challenge, providing a coherent account of Galatians as a piece of strategically crafted communication that addresses both the immediate pastoral challenges facing Paul's converts in Galatia and the underlying questions that gave rise to them.Paying careful attention to the history, philology, and theology of the letter, and interacting with a wealth of secondary literature on both Galatians and the rest of the Pauline corpus, deSilva's exegetically sound commentary will serve as an essential resource for pastors and theological students.

William B Eerdmans Publishing Co Reading Paul with the Reformers
Book SynopsisIn debates surrounding the New Perspective on Paul, the 16th-century Protestant Reformers are often characterised as the apostle''s misinterpreters in chief. In this book Stephen Chester challenges that conception with a careful and nuanced reading of the Reformers'' Pauline exegesis. Examining the overall contours of early Reformation exegesis of Paul, Chester contrasts the Reformers with their Roman opponents and explores particular contributions made by such key figures as Luther, Melanchthon, and Calvin. He relates their insights to contemporary debates in Pauline theology about justification, union with Christ, and other central themes, arguing that their work remains a significant resource today. Being published in the 500th anniversary year of the Protestant Reformation,Reading Paul with the Reformersreclaims a robust, contemporary understanding of how the Reformersreallyread Paul.

Book SynopsisThis book revisits and revises some of the most basic concepts of time in the Judeo-Christian tradition, drawing on St. Paul's writings to rethink a new kind of radical faith in truth as an event, as the advent of the incalculable, a modality that remakes the pairing religious/secular.Trade Review"Badiou introduces the reader to the notion that philosophy stands somewhere beyond the commonplace . . . [and] illustrates the way in which during [St. Paul's] time Paul decided that for God particularities such as nationality or sex are unimportant and therefore everybody is (compared to God) just a human being."—Peter Takac, Human Affairs: Postdisciplinary Humanities & Social Sciences

He writes about Jesus and the Christian life with perception, wisdom and wit." -- Nicky Gumbel“Most commentaries are dull. These are alive. Most commentaries are for scholars. These are for you!” -- Canon Michael Green“In taking us straight to the heart of the text, Phil Moore has served us magnificently. We so need to get into the Scriptures and let the Scriptures get into us. The fact that Phil writes so relevantly and with such submission to Biblical revelation means that we are genuinely helped to be shaped by the Bible’s teaching.” -- Terry Virgo“These notes are amazingly good. Lots of content and depth of research, yet packed in a Big Breakfast that leaves the reader well fed and full.

However, this book is a great legacy, and I am really looking forward to the publication of Volume 2.'-- The Inner Light Magazine, February 2010'Emil Bock was a leading light in the early days of the Christian Community, which is rooted in the teaching of Rudolf Steiner... The topics covered are very broad, including parables, Miracles, The Sermon on the Mount, John the Baptist, Judas and Peter. I found his comments on the Beatitudes especially interesting in shedding new light on their layers of meaning.' -- Scientific & Medical Network, Winter 2009/10'Bock's thorough knowledge of his subject and the insights gained through the cosmic and spiritual understanding of Steiner's investigations in the supersensible worlds give his writings widths and depths that perhaps cannot be obtained in any other way. It is not necessary to accept it all in order to feel grateful for how much one's own understanding of what are often difficult and initially incomprehensible matters is enhanced and enriched by thinking along with him.'-- Louise Madsen, Perspectives, March-May 2010
