paperbackProverbs
An Introduction and Commentary
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries
by Lindsay Wilson
In many ways, Proverbs is similar to the wisdom literature of the wider ancient Near East. However, while the book initially appears to consist primarily of practical advice, wisdom is grounded in a relationship with God. In this replacement Tyndale Commentary, Lindsay Wilson shows how the first nine chapters provide a reading guide for the many proverbs in subsequent chapters; and how the fear ...

Reformation Commentary on Scripture
Edited by David C. Fink
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die..."
When the reformers of the sixteenth century turned to this well-known text from the Book of Ecclesiastes, they did not find a reason to despair, but rather confirmation of their hope and faith in God. For example, Martin Luther pointed ...

An Introduction and Commentary
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries
by Knut Martin Heim
Series edited by David G. Firth
Consulting Editor Tremper Longman IIIThe book of Ecclesiastes is probably best known for its repeated refrain that "everything is meaningless," or "vanity." However, a thorough reading demonstrates that this is not its final conclusion.

Rethinking the Language of Biblical Prophecy and Apocalyptic
by Brent Sandy
What are we to make of Isaiah's image of Mount Zion as the highest of the mountains, or Zechariah's picture of the Mount of Olives split in two, or Daniel's "beast rising out of the sea" or Revelation's "great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns"? How can Peter claim that on the day of Pentecost the prophecy of Joel was being fulfilled, with signs in heaven and wonders on earth, the sun turned ...

The Word of God in the Words of Jeremiah
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Andrew G Shead
Series edited by D. A. Carson"I am putting my words as a fire in your mouth; these people are tinder and it will consume them." (Jeremiah 5:14)
In the book of Jeremiah, not only is the vocabulary of "word" and "words" uniquely prevalent, but formulae marking divine speech also play an unprecedented role in giving the book's final form its narrative and theological shape. Indeed, "the word of the Lord" is arguably the ...

hardcoverEzekiel, Daniel
Old Testament Volume 12
Reformation Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Carl L. Beckwith
The Reformation era revolution in preaching and interpreting the Bible did not occur without keen attention to the Old Testament Scriptures. This is especially true with regard to the Hebrew prophets. Ezekiel and Daniel, replete with startling, unnerving imagery and visions, apocalyptic oracles of judgment and destruction, captivated the reformers as they sought to understand their time and themselves ...

paperbackHow to Read Daniel
How To Read Series
by Tremper Longman III
Beyond the familiar lions' den and fiery furnace, much of the book of Daniel seems baffling to modern readers. The first half recounts stories full of ancient Near Eastern protocol and imperial court drama; the second half features apocalyptic visions of monstrous beasts and cosmic conflict. Many Christians misunderstand or simply avoid the book. But failing to read Daniel well ...

paperbackJoel and Amos
An Introduction and Commentary
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries
by Tchavdar S Hadjiev
Series edited by David G. Firth
Consulting Editor Tremper Longman IIIJoel's arresting imagery—blasting trumpet, darkened sun, and marching hosts—has shaped the church's eschatological vision of a day of wrath. Amos's ringing indictments—callous oppression, heartless worship, and self-seeking gain—have periodicallyawakened the conscience of God's people. Twenty-five-hundred years later, those prophetic words still speak powerfully. This Tyndale commentary by Tchavdar ...
