SPCK Publishing Friend of God
Book SynopsisThis richly detailed account of the life and times of Abraham adds depth to our understanding of this pivotal figure in God's plan of salvation - both for us and for the whole world.Trade Review'I read everything John Lennox writes.' -- Rick Warren'John C. Lennox is not only one of the best minds and voices promoting and defending the Christian worldview, he is also an excellent Bible teacher. Whether he's preaching on the Logos of John's Gospel, or writing about the lives of Daniel, Joseph, and now, Abraham, his spiritual insight and application for believers of all ages and backgrounds is incalculable. In a day when the deep study of Scripture is often neglected, I'm thankful that Dr Lennox has given us this new volume on Abraham, the Father of all who have faith, and the friend of God.' -- Brian Brodersen, Pastor, Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa, CA, USA'John Lennox - both an accomplished mathematician and a serious Christian - has blessed the world with many works showing why science and faith make good companions. Now he has blessed us with another, this time an exposition of the Abraham story in Genesis, which displays many virtues. He wants you to be sure that the stories are true, but also that they have a bearing on us today. In this well-written and thoughtful book, he keeps his eyes on the ancient settings of these tales, but also on the New Testament, traditional Jewish reflections, and modern application. In all of this he reminds me of another Oxford Cambridge academic, who likewise came from Northern Ireland, C.S. Lewis: an "amateur" in Biblical Studies, who has something to say, not only to us "professionals," but especially to the general public. I am pleased to commend this book to you.' -- C. John Collins, Professor of Old Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary, St Louis, MO, USA'I was not prepared for how much I would enjoy Professor John Lennox's Friend of God, probably the greatest book ever written on the life of Abraham. A book with massive scholarship but with personal anecdotes, this will encourage the ordinary Christian. Friend of God is both an apologetic achievement and one that will increase the reader's own faith - and make him or her desire to be a friend of God like Abraham.' -- R. T. Kendall'Friend of God is an insightful, profound and deeply relevant exploration of the person of Abraham. We learn what it means to be human and to have a relationship to God. Author, John Lennox, also carries these essential truths into the heart of our contemporary distress: like connecting the ancient story of the Tower of Babel to contemporary author Yuval Harari, who insists we are on the brink of creating a new kind of species who will become human gods who will live forever. I finished reading with tears of gratitude to God for how he pursues us in order to offer his indescribable gift.' -- Rebecca Manley Pippert, author, speaker, evangelist: founder of Becky Pippert Ministries'Reformed faith has three components - evidence, meaning and action. To take each in turn, I had no idea there was so much evidence for Abraham. I think I just thought it was so long ago, one just had the precious chapters of Genesis, which were uncorroborated, but you will be staggered by the evidence for this patriarch. Again when it came to the meaning of Abraham's life, though I was familiar with the narrative and most of the 60 New Testament references, I discovered my understanding was so shallow as my eyes were opened to text after text. Lastly, of course, once the evidence and meaning have been grasped, then the difference it makes to one's living faith is quite thrilling. I shall never read Hebrews 11 verses 8 to 10 with the same mindset. We need to thank Professor Lennox for waking a sleeping giant of Scripture for us.' -- Rico Tice, All Souls and Christianity Explored

Yale University Press An Introduction to the Gospel of John
Book SynopsisPresents a perspective on the historical development of the Gospels. This volume includes a section devoted to Christology, as well as a section on the representation of Jews in the "Gospel of John".Trade Review"A bittersweet read! Intended as the introduction to a major revision of the landmark Anchor Bible commentary on John, but sadly cut off by his death in 1998, this work stands alone as a magnificent survey of major issues in the study of the Fourth Gospel. With his accustomed thoroughness and respect for the work of others, even in disagreement, Brown updates and often moves beyond positions first articulated over three decades ago. Scholars will be long in debt to Francis Moloney for his own insightful introduction and conclusion as well as for signposts along the way which point to shifts in Brown's work along with developments subsequent to his death, and current bibliography. This eminently readable work will extend the influence of Brown well into the present century."—Fr. John Donahue, Raymond E.

Yale University Press Divine Bodies Resurrecting Perfection in the New
Book SynopsisA path-breaking scholar's insightful reexamination of the resurrection of the body and the construction of the self When people talk about the resurrection they often assume that the bodies in the afterlife will be perfect. But which version of our bodies gets resurrectedyoung or old, healthy or sick, real-to-life or idealized? What bodily qualities must be recast in heaven for a body to qualify as both ours and heavenly? The resurrection is one of the foundational statements of Christian theology, but when it comes to the New Testament only a handful of passages helps us answer the question What will those bodies be like? More problematically, the selection and interpretation of these texts are grounded in assumptions about the kinds of earthly bodies that are most desirable. Drawing upon previously unexplored evidence in ancient medicine, philosophy, and culture, this illuminating book both revisits central textssuch as the resurrection of Jesusand mines virtually ignored passages Trade Review"[An] excellent new book"—The Catholic Herald“In this informed, witty, and provocative study… Professor Moss presents a timely challenge to modern sense and sensibilities.”—John Saxbee, Church Times“There is a tremendous wealth of learning and reflection in the short 200 pages of this book…Definitely one to read.”—Matthew V. Novenson, Journal for the Study of the New Testament“Why does Christianity see bodily resurrection as salvation? How do ideas about embodied eternity encode time-bound cultural values concerning health, wealth, beauty, sex, and self? Candida Moss’s lithe essay investigates all these questions with lively erudition, with humor and with insight. Divine Bodies is divine reading.”—Paula Fredriksen, author of When Christians Were Jews“With enormous learning and gentle sensitivity Candida Moss explores the intricate pathways of the Christian imagination. In the process she skillfully and insightfully reveals the complex ironies of a hoped for future life and the ways it often mirrors an unexamined present.”—Harold W. Attridge, Yale Divinity School“Are our bodies ourselves? Candida Moss shows how culturally constructed notions of human perfection and beauty have shaped New Testament passages about the resurrected body—and modern biblical scholarship as well. A thought-provoking work of intellectual and cultural history.“—David Brakke, The Ohio State University“This fresh, careful study will change our classical images of bodily resurrection. Shining new light on both well-known texts and more neglected sources, Candida Moss shows how earthly disabilities are an integral part of resurrected, glorified bodies.”—Christoph Markschies, Humboldt-University Berlin“In this thought-provoking book, Candida Moss invites readers to rethink our views about the resurrection and critically question our (often implicit) assumptions of the perfect and impaired bodies.”—Ismo Dunderberg, University of Helsinki

Zondervan Daniel
Book SynopsisThe Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament series is the go-to resource for pastors and Bible teachers looking for deep but accessible study that equips them to connect the needs of Christians today with the biblical text.Trade Review'A broadly inclusive, evangelical commentary on Daniel that at the same time engages respectfully and thoroughly the critical issues without partisanship, argument, or accusation. This is one of a kind!' * RONALD W. PIERCE, professor of Old Testament, Talbot School of Theology *'A masterful introduction followed by close analysis at the microlevel, clear discourse analysis at the microlevel, and stimulating biblical theological treatment at the intertextual level. And Widder's ability to link all of this to the big idea at each point makes for stimulating reading--I literally read it straight through. Henceforth, it's my go-to commentary on Daniel.' * DALE BRUEGGEMANN, retired missionary and educator *'A new day for Daniel studies. If persons were trapped until they preached through Daniel--which describes the way many approach such a series--and only one commentary was allowed, it's an easy choice. Wendy Widder's commentary combines her expertise in Hebrew and Aramaic and builds on her series of important studies on Daniel over the past decade. She never minimizes interpretive difficulties. But Wendy leads us past the long-line of interpretive cul-de-sacs created by earlier commentators on Daniel. Anyone who wants to understand and teach Daniel and trust the Most High God needs to start here.' * GARY EDWARD SCHNITTJER, distinguished professor of Old Testament, Cairn University *'I have come to appreciate the clarity and precision of Dr. Widder's writing over the years, so it is with great pleasure that I commend her latest work on Daniel. Readers of this volume will find a solid command of the challenging issues surrounding Daniel blended with up-to-date insights from discourse analysis and linguistic approaches to the Hebrew and Aramaic text.' * STEVEN RUNGE, scholar in residence, Clear Bible *'Widder provides a close reading of the text of Daniel, highlighting the essential features of the book's clauses in its original languages. By auditing how the book creates its discourse, she builds a solid platform for moving from grammar and syntax towards meaning and theological interpretation. Students will appreciate the attention to detail, as well as the wider connections Widder makes between different parts of the book of Daniel. Widder does not shy away from the difficult critical issues, of which there are many. She presents multiple perspectives, which she evaluates with generosity, while also being up front with the conservative Christian framework within which she is working. Christian exegetes and preachers will find both food for thought and good guidance for their analysis and preaching endeavors.' * GEORGE ATHAS, director of research, Moore Theological College *'Widder provides well-reasoned evangelical positions on critical matters and her comments are thorough, clear, and accessible. Her translations are carefully crafted to convey the nuances of the Hebrew and Aramaic, and it is clear she has a deep familiarity with the book. Her facility in discourse-linguistic analysis is evident throughout, making it a wonderful contribution to the series.' * JOHN COOK, professor of Old Testament and Semitic languages and director of Hebrew language Instruction, Asbury Theological Seminary *

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Christ the Heart of Creation
Book SynopsisIn this wide-ranging book, Rowan Williams argues that what we say about Jesus Christ is key to understanding what Christian belief says about creator and creation overall. Through detailed discussion of texts from the earliest centuries to the present day, we are shown some of the various and subtle ways in which Christians have discovered in their reflections on Christ the possibility of a deeply affirmative approach to creation, and a set of radical insights in ethics and politics as well. Throughout his life, Rowan Williams has been deeply influenced by thinkers of the Eastern Christian tradition as well as Catholic and Anglican writers. This book draws on insights from Eastern Christianity, from the Western Middle Ages and from Reformed thinkers, from Calvin to Bonhoeffer as well as considering theological insights sparked by philosophers like Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein. Christ the Heart of Creation concerns fundamental issues for Christian belief and Williams Trade ReviewI have not caught anything like the full complexity or density of William's book ... [It is] a display of daunting wide erudition, of a powerful and well-stocked mind at work making connections and offering insights, judgements and suggestions in many directions across a whole range of scholarly debates ...
