HardbackGreek Commentaries on Revelation
Ancient Christian Texts
by Oecumenius and Andrew of Caesarea
Edited by Thomas C. Oden
Translated by William C. WeinrichThe Eastern church gives little evidence of particular interest in the book of Revelation. Oecumenius of Isauria's commentary on the book is the earliest full treatment in Greek and dates only from the early sixth century. Along with Oecumenius'scommentary, only that of Andrew of Caesarea (dating from the same era and often summarizing Oecumenius before offering a contrary opinion) and that of Arethas ...
HardbackLatin Commentaries on Revelation
Ancient Christian Texts
by Victorinus of Petovium, Apringius of Beja, Caesarius of Arles, and Bede the Venerable
Series edited by Thomas C. Oden and Gerald Bray
Edited and Translated by William C. WeinrichInterest in the book of Revelation in the Western tradition is stronger and earlier than that in the East. The earliest full commentary on the Apocalypse is that of Victorinus of Petovium written in the mid to late third century by the earliest exegete to write in Latin. Victorinus interpreted Revelation in millennialist terms, a mode of interpretation already evident in works by Irenaeus, as well ...

Psalm 110 in Biblical Theology
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Matthew Emadi
Series edited by D. A. CarsonDespite its importance in the New Testament and the priestly messianic promise identified by King David, relatively little has been written on Psalm 110 from a biblical-theological perspective.
By considering David's biblical warrant for bringing together priesthood and kingship in a single figure, Matthew Emadi shows how we are able to uncover the theological foundation on ...

Crafting Expository Sermons in Post-Christian Communities
by Mark R Glanville
An Expository Preaching Guidebook for Post-Christian Communities
Preaching must connect with its hearers. As the perception of the pastor has changed in recent years, and as congregations battle with increasing doubt, preaching appealing solely to rationality doesn't resonate in the same way as it once did.

PaperbackLife in the Son
Exploring Participation and Union with Christ in John's Gospel and Letters
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Clive Bowsher
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThe New Testament writers use spatial language and imagery to portray our relationship with God, speaking both about God or Christ in us and us in them. Believers are also described as possessing and participating in divine qualities such as life and glory. Both aspects are prominent in John's Gospel and letters. However, outside the Pauline writings, union with Christ has hardly ...
PaperbackA Little Book for New Philosophers
Why and How to Study Philosophy
Little Books
by Paul Copan
What's the point of studying philosophy when we have theology? Is philosophy anything more than a preparation for apologetics?
Often called "theology's handmaid," philosophy has sometimes suffered from an inferiority complex in the church. Many Christians see little point in it at all. But as Paul Copan contends, it is possible to affirm theology's preeminence without diminishing the value ...
PaperbackForetaste of the Future
Reading Revelation in Light of God's Mission
by Dean Flemming
For many Christians, the book of Revelation inspires confusion and fear. It's seen as a coded screenplay for the end times, or it's just too strange to understand. The problem, Dean Flemming contends, is that when we read Revelation as focused on the future, we miss what it says about what God is doing in the world now.
Revelation is one of the richest texts in Scripture ...
PaperbackUnceasing Kindness
A Biblical Theology of Ruth
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Peter Lau and Gregory Goswell
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThe 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. In the academy, the book has been a testing ground for a variety of hermeneutical approaches, and many different ways of interpreting it have been put forward. However, the single interpretative ...
