    Teaching Learning in Proverbs 1-9

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Daniel J. Estes
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    Even a cursory reading of the book of Proverbs reveals that it is dominated by the subject of education, or personal formation. The voice of the teacher addressing his pupils resounds from its pages. A wide array of topics is presented, and frequent exhortations challenge the learner to hear and heed the teacher's instruction. This material, however, comes for the most part without recognizable ...

    "They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha. . . . And they crucified him. . . . Some women were watching from a distance." (Mark 15:22, 24, 40).At the climax of Mark's Gospel, Jesus of Nazareth is put to death on a Roman cross. The text tells us that, in that lonely hour, a group of women were watching the crucifixion "from a distance." In a sense, they are given a stance toward the cross ...

    Unceasing Kindness

    A Biblical Theology of Ruth

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Peter Lau and Gregory Goswell
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    The Old Testament book of Ruth is understandably a firm favorite in the church for small-group study and preaching: a heart-warming story of loyalty and love, a satisfying tale of a journey from famine to fullness.

    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    The book of Isaiah has nourished the church throughout the centuries. However, its massive size can be intimidating; its historical setting can seem distant, opaque, varied; its organization and composition can seem disjointed and fragmented; itsabundance of terse, poetic language can make its message seem veiled—and where are those explicit prophecies about Christ? These are typical experiences ...

    Is there a single message of the New Testament?Theologians seek to bring coherence to the diverse teachings and approaches found in the New Testament, but this is no simple task.

    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    The book of Jonah is arguably just as jarring for us as it was for the ancients.

    Ninevah's repentance, Jonah's estrangement from God and the book's bracing moral conclusion all pose unsettling questions for today's readers.

    For biblical theologians, Jonah also raises tough questions regarding mission and religious conversion. Here, Daniel Timmer embarks on a new reading of Jonah in ...
