Christian Focus Publications Ltd Jeremiah & Lamentations: The death of a dream and
Book SynopsisJeremiah was set aside to be the prophet to the nations. Set apart to be a voice that was not afraid to stand up for sharing the message of the Lord to those aiming headlong for judgement. There are responsibilities for those who belong to God. However God still loves his people even when they have sinned against him. We are reassured that hope can be found even in times of suffering.Lamentations tells Jerusalem's story of suffering, starvation, and despair, till finally the walls are breached, the survivors deported, the goods looted and the city torched.Trade ReviewIn this book, Michael Wilcock has done a real service to students of Scripture: he has made Jeremiah and Lamentations accessible and applicable. From page 1, it is clear that the reader is in the hands of a careful scholar and faithful guide to the life and writings of the prophet Jeremiah. In short, this is a wonderful resource for anyone who wants to preach, teach, or simply study these sometimes intimidating books. When people in my church ask for a resource to help them read Jeremiah and Lamentations, this book will be at the top of my list! -- Michael McKinley (Senior Pastor, Guilford Baptist Church, Sterling, Virginia)Michael Wilcock's thorough and creative exposition of the books of Lamentations and Jeremiah is a joy to read. His clear style and pastoral perspective provide a valuable resource for preachers in the pulpit, teachers in the classroom, and other students of this important, and at times, difficult prophetic pair. I recommend it to those who would encounter Jeremiah's message in light of its ancient context, the redemptive work of Christ, and its application into the contemporary Christian life. -- Scott Redd (President and Associate Professor of Old Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Washington, D.C.)In this book, Michael Wilcock has done a real service to students of Scripture: he has made Jeremiah and Lamentations accessible and applicable. From page 1, it is clear that the reader is in the hands of a careful scholar and faithful guide to the life and writings of the prophet Jeremiah. In short, this is a wonderful resource for anyone who wants to preach, teach, or simply study these sometimes intimidating books. When people in my church ask for a resource to help them read Jeremiah and Lamentations, this book will be at the top of my list! -- Mike McKinley (Senior Pastor, Sterling Park Baptist Church, Virginia)It is a pleasure to commend this fine piece of commentary writing by Michael Wilcock. Over the years he has produced many commentaries on both Testaments, including some fine examples in the BST series. Here he has lost none of his touch as with sure-footed exegesis, spiritual insight and elegant writing he tackles the difficult books of Jeremiah and Lamentations. All Bible readers will profit from reading these books with a sympathetic and knowledgeable guide. However, they will also be of great use to preachers who will find themselves stimulated, enlightened and emboldened to tackle these often neglected books in the company of an experienced and erudite preacher. -- Bob Fyall (Pastor, Preacher and Old Testament Scholar)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Introducing Numbers: A Book for Today
Book SynopsisDesigned to accompany the more extensive Teaching Numbers by Adrian Reynolds, this short book will not take long to read, but will be a great help to all those seeking to understand the book of Numbers better.Trade ReviewThe need of the hour is Bible knowledge. When knowledge fails, faith fails, and we are shaped instead by cultural forces alien to God. This teaching series, written by skilled and trustworthy students of God's word, helps us to understand the Bible, believe it and obey it. I commend it to all Bible readers, but especially those whose task it is to teach the inspired word of God. -- Peter Jensen (Retired Archbishop of Sydney, Sydney, Australia)The Teaching series is a great resource for Bible study leaders and pastors, indeed for any Christian who wants to understand their Bible better. -- Mark Dever (Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church and President, 9Marks.org, Washington, DC)North India desperately needs men and women who will preach and teach the Bible faithfully and PT's Teaching series is of great value in encouraging them to do just that. -- Isaac Shaw (Executive Director, Delhi Bible Institute, New Delhi, India)The task of moving from the text of Scripture to clear and faithful exposition is challenging. This series of excellent guides aims to help the Bible teacher to observe what is there in the text, and prepare to convey its significance to contemporary hearers. In this way these volumes often do more than the weightier technical commentaries. It is like having the guidance of an experienced coach in the wonderful work of rightly handling the word of truth. -- John Woodhouse (Retired Principal and Lecturer in Doctrine and Old Testament, Moore College, Sydney, Australia)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd The First Chapters of Everything: How Genesis
Book SynopsisAlasdair Paine writes in his introduction, "Genesis was not given to satisfy our speculation but to bring us urgent truths about God, our world and ourselves." This book was written to bring out the beginnings recorded in Genesis - where we came from, what went wrong, and the first promise of the Saviour to come.Trade ReviewAnyone seeking a wise, accessible guide to the crucial first chapters of Genesis need look no further. I found Alasdair's sure-footed work most illuminating and enriching. -- Julian Hardyman (Senior Pastor, Eden Baptist Church, Cambridge)Alasdair Paine is an accomplished geographer, pastor and Bible student and all these disciplines add to the rich depth of his writing. Alasdair's insights, illustrations and sensitive application make this a very healthy read indeed... Here's a hearty read for the health of your soul. -- David Cook (Retired Principal, Sydney Missionary and Bible College, Sydney, Australia)There is no better brief introduction to [Gen. 1-4] than this. Alasdair Paine helpfully engages with the complex questions of interpretation but never gets bogged down... The focus throughout is God's contemporary message to us through these chapters, which is presented with great clarity and powerful application. -- Vaughan Roberts (Rector of St Ebbe's, Oxford and Director of Proclamation Trust)Deceptively clear and digestible style... He is preoccupied with 'What is God saying to us here?' and refuses to allow the elephant of secondary issues to stand between us and the Genesis text (though he provides additional notes for the curious). Here is a book I found refreshing my spirit, stimulating my mind, and nourishing my soul. -- Dale Ralph Davis (Respected Author and Old Testament Scholar)... devotionally engaging and stirring as well as useful for thinking how I might preach these important chapters. I've done that on a number of occasions, but this book made me want to do it again... It will be an encouragement to you devotionally. And it will help you preach these passages well. -- Adrian Reynolds... a helpful commentary, and a winsome evangelistic tool within a subject which has often been neglected by evangelicals. -- Evangelicals Now

Christian Focus Publications Ltd 1 Chronicles: God's Faithfulness to the People of Judah
Book Synopsis The books of Chronicles have had a chequered past. Neglected for many years under the unfortunate name Paraleipomenon or 'Things Omitted', meant that they occupied a subordinate position in the scriptures until the 4th century AD when the title 'A Chronicle of the whole of Sacred History' was suggested instead. This has since been shortened to Chronicles and the rest is, literally, history.Probably penned by Ezra, Chronicles is a selective history of the Jews encouraging them to trust that God is intimately involved in their story. Written at a time when the Jews were newly out of captivity and with their capital city in ruins, Chronicles assures them of God's faithfulness.If they would obey and serve him then his people would still enjoy his blessing. Trade ReviewThis title is an invaluable addition to the commentary shelves, and yet reads like a good book. -- Tabernacle Bookshop

Random House USA Inc Let There Be Light: The Real Story of Her
Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • An “irreverent yet profound” (Publishers Weekly) retelling of the Book of Genesis, starring a female God, from the acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist and author of Passing for Human WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New YorkerIn this ambitious and transcendent graphic novel, Liana Finck turns her keen eye to none other than the Old Testament, reimagining the story of Genesis with God as a woman, Abraham as a resident of New York City, and Rebekah as a robot, among many other delightful twists. In Finck''s retelling, the millennia-old stories of Adam and Eve, Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob and Esau haunt the pages like familiar but partially forgotten nursery rhymes―transmuted by time but still deeply resonant. With her trademark insightfulness, wry humor, and supple, moving visual style, Finck accentuates the latent sweetness and timeless wisdom of the original text, infusing it with wit and whimsy while retaining every ounce of its spiritual heft. Let There Be Light is proof that old stories can live forever, whether as ancient scripture or as a series of profound and enchanting cartoons. The Book of Genesis is about some of the most fundamental, eternally pertinent questions that we can ask: What does it mean to be human? What is the purpose of our lives? And how should we treat one another? The stories that attempt to answer these questions are an immediate link with the people who first told them. Unable to fathom the holiness and preciousness of that notion, or put it into words, Finck set out to depict it. The result is a true story of creation, rendered by one of our most innovative creators. LONGLISTED FOR THE CAROL SHIELDS PRIZE FOR FICTION

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Gemeinde ohne Tempel /Community without Temple:
Book SynopsisWie verarbeitete Israel beziehungsweise das antike Judentum die Herausforderung theologisch, daß der Tempel als kultisches Zentrum nicht mehr zur Verfügung stand, weil er zerstört war, als religiös disqualifiziert galt, oder - wie im Falle des Diasporajudentums - für eine konkrete Beteiligung am Kult zu weit entfernt lag? In diesem Sammelband gehen internationale Wissenschaftler dieser Frage nach. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt ihrer Forschungen in der Epoche des Zweiten Tempels. Analoge Problemstellungen und Entwicklungen in rabbinischer Zeit, im Neuen Testament und der frühen Kirche, im Alten Orient und in der griechisch-römischen Welt werden ebenfalls berücksichtigt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Heiligkeitsgesetz und Priesterschrift :
Book SynopsisDas sogenannte "Heiligkeitsgesetz" (Leviticus 17-26) stellt eines der wichtigsten Gebots- und Rechtskomplexe im Alten Testament dar. Zum einen galt dieses Rechtskorpus in der Forschung bisher als ein von seinem literarischen Kontext, der "Priesterschrift", weitgehend unabhängiger Text. Zum anderen wurden die hier vereinigten Gebote und Rechtsbestimmungen meist als sachlich uneinheitlich und in ihrer Zusammenstellung ungeordnet angesehen.Andreas Ruwe zeigt, daß das "Heiligkeitsgesetz" einen festen Bestandteil des priesterschriftlichen Textbereichs darstellt und der gesamte Komplex rechtssystematisch konsistent aufgebaut ist. Dabei wendet er literaturwissenschaftlich orientierte Analyseverfahren an. Die Orientierung auf 'Sabbat' und 'Heiligtum', die zentralen religiösen Institutionen der "Priesterschrift", bildet die konzeptionelle und strukturgebende Basis für das "Heiligkeitsgesetz". Die Grundverpflichtung zur Sabbat- und Heiligtumsobservanz ist der Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Komposition des "Heiligkeitsgesetzes" und zu seiner literaturgeschichtlichen Einordnung. Die spezifischen Inhalte dieses Rechtskorpus, die Definition der Konturen von Familie und Gesellschaft, die Bestimmung der Minimalbedingungen von Familien- und Nächstensolidarität, die Analysen zur Loyalität der Priester zum Heiligen im Verhältnis zur gleichzeitigen Verpflichtung zur Familien- und Gesellschaftssolidarität, die Bestimmungen über den Umgang mit Tieren sowie die Regeln zu den Jahresfesten und zu Sabbat- und Jobeljahr, sind an jenen Basisnormen orientiert und ergeben einen schlüssigen Gesamtzusammenhang.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Das Auge Gottes: Textstrategie im Hiobbuch
Book SynopsisMit welchen Mitteln wird der Leser zur Interpretation des Hiobbuches angeregt? In welchem Zusammenhang stehen dabei Dramaturgie und Inhalt? Melanie Köhlmoos erarbeitet die grundlegende 'Textstrategie' des Hiobbuches unter dem Aspekt der Gegenwart Gottes. Ihre Interpretation basiert auf der Interaktion zwischen dem Text, seinen Lesern und anderen Texten.'Das Auge Gottes' stellt eines der inhaltlichen Grundthemen des Hiobbuches dar. Gott schaut auf die Erde, sieht Hiob und wählt ihn zum Gegenstand des Experiments um Leid und Frömmigkeit. Obwohl Gottes Nähe nach alttestamentlichem Denken eigentlich erstrebenswert ist, besteht Hiobs Leiden darin, von Gott nicht aus den Augen gelassen zu werden. Melanie Köhlmoos erörtert diese Nähe in wechselnden Zuordnungen verschiedener theologischer Aussagen, in denen Gottes 'Sehen' eine gewisse konstante Funktion hat. Sie stellt fest, daß sich der sachliche Gehalt der Hiobdichtung im Konzept des 'Auge Gottes' bündelt.Darüber hinaus ist mit dem 'Auge Gottes' der eher formale Bereich der 'Textstrategie' angesprochen. Die gesamte Hiobdichtung wird aus der Perspektive eines allwissenden Erzählers dargeboten, wobei der Text den Handelnden immer voraus ist. Der Leser wird dabei in die übergeordnete Perspektive einbezogen und weiß wie der Autor selbst mehr als die Akteure. Er blickt gewissermaßen mit dem 'Auge Gottes' auf das Geschehen, das sich im Text vollzieht. Die Rolle des Lesers ist somit die des Mitspielers in der Strategie, wobei allerdings eine Distanzierung des Publikums von den Akteuren der Handlung vorausgesetzt ist. Keine der vorgeführten Personen ist auf Identifikation des Publikums hin angelegt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Priester und Leviten im achämenidischen Juda:
Book SynopsisDie Perserzeit wird zunehmend als einer der bedeutendsten Abschnitte der israelitisch-jüdischen Geschichte entdeckt. Das geschieht sowohl im Hinblick auf die institutionengeschichtliche Entwicklung in Juda und Jerusalem als auch hinsichtlich neuer theologischer Konzepte und Entwicklungen der Literaturproduktion dieser Gegend.Joachim Schaper liefert einen Beitrag zur Erforschung des perserzeitlichen Juda. Er wendet sich dabei gegen die bisher übliche Beschränkung auf rein traditionsgeschichtliche Fragestellungen und geht statt dessen konsequent historisch vor. Er rekonstruiert die Lebenswelt der Priester und Leviten jener Zeit. Dabei stellt er neue Fragen und bringt religions-, sozial- und wirtschaftsgeschichtliche Positionen miteinander ins Gespräch.Dieses Vorgehen ermöglicht ein vertieftes Verständnis der Geschichte des nachexilischen Priestertums in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt. Joachim Schaper greift vor allem die Fragestellungen und Methoden Albrecht Alts, Marc Blochs und Max Webers auf, die für die weitere Erforschung der Geschichte Israels richtungweisend sind.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Samaritan Scribes and Manuscripts
Book Synopsis"This book aims to provide the critical tools to help scholars in their use of Samaritan manuscripts. The basic codicological tools is a series of complementary data-bases compiled from typological studies of the physical properties of manuscripts. Each typology is in effect a diachronic profile created by painstaking comparison and analysis of the physical properties of manuscripts of known provenance and/or date. Using these typologies or diachronic profiles it is possible to evaluate the chronology of the physical characteristics of any manuscript - the quire or gathering structure, ink, ruling, spacing of the text on the folio, sewing of the sections ... Naturally, the more information available about the physical properties of any manuscript the better the chance of making correlations between the typologies of different properties.The basic rule in palaeography and codicology is that the researcher works on an inductive basis from as wide a sample as possible of dated manuscripts. It is hoped that in the studies in this volume, evidence has been provided which will serve as a guide both to the appearance and the nature of Samaritan manuscripts and to the evaluative process that one would employ in examining them for codicological purposes. The reader should be able to apply the criteria provided here to the evaluation of whatever data can be retrieved from any undated Samaritan manuscripts with which he is confronted." Alan D.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Divine Judgement and Divine Benevolence in the
Book SynopsisScholarly interest in the apocryphal Book of Wisdom has grown over the last fifty years. In addition to the main commentaries, several literary studies have been produced on sections of the text, giving new and richer insights. Moyna McGlynn examines the interwoven themes of divine judgement and divine benevolence as they are presented in the text of Wisdom. The full extent and interplay between these themes is only revealed by a literary reading of the whole text. This reading examines the poetic techniques, structures, vocabulary, verbal repetitions, and the questions the author has employed to provide a framework for a theology of justice and mercy.Further study of these themes leads to reflections upon God as creator and humans as creatures, the kindness of God in the gift of divine wisdom, and the formation and protection of Israel as the paradigm community with responsibility for teaching and demonstrating the knowledge of God to the world. These twin themes, then, provide us with an integrated and coherent reading of the text of Wisdom, and offer a new insight into the role of Israel and Jewish self-awareness just prior to the formation of rabbinic Judaism and Christianity.The Book of Wisdom falls naturally into four, major sub-divisions, with a fifth central section providing the theodicy which underpins the action and reflection of the other four. Moyna McGlynn has retained this five-fold division for her analysis.A brief Appendix, at the close of the book, outlines Wisdom's history and reception in the Jewish and Christian communities.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Das Priestertum bei Sacharja: Historische und
Book SynopsisWollten die frühnachexilischen Gruppierungen im Jahre 520 v. Chr. ganz einfach da anfangen, wo Juda spätvorexilisch aufhören mußte? Sollte Serubbabel sogar zum König erhoben werden? Für Thomas Pola heben das Haggaibuch, Sacharja 1-6 sowie Esra 1-6 allein um der Legitimität des Zweiten Tempels und seiner Ordnung willen die Kontinuität zu den entsprechenden vorexilischen Größen hervor.Deshalb arbeitet Thomas Pola den historischen Hintergrund von Hag 1f, Sach 3f und 6,9ff sowie Esr 1-6 heraus. Traditionsgeschichtlich untersucht er in diesen Texten die Transformierung der davidischen Herrschererwartung von einer überwiegend politischen zu einer idealen Gestalt vor dem Hintergrund der sogenannten Messiaserwartung in der vorexilischen und exilischen Schriftprophetie.Er kommt zu folgenden Ergebnissen: Aus der Exilszeit, insbesondere in der Schule des Propheten Ezechiel, war frühnachexilisch eine auch politisch relevante Aufwertung des Priestertums vorgegeben, ohne daß das davidische Ideal dabei verkümmert wäre. Im visionären Grundtext von Sach 4 erscheinen Serubbabel und Josua in kultischem Kontext. Komplementär dazu löst Sach 3 das Problem der Legitimation des neuen Amtes des Hohenpriesters und des ebenfalls neuen Sühnekultes. Weder Haggai noch Sacharja hatten also Serubbabel für eine Inthronisation zum König Judas bestimmt. Vielmehr beschränkten sie Serubbabels Kompetenz bei der Grundsteinlegung des Tempels auf die Funktion eines davidischen Schirmherren.
