A Basic Introduction
by Scott W. Sunquist
Foreword by Richard J. Mouw- 2020 Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year ("Also Recommended," Church)

by Phillip E. Johnson
Foreword by Nancy PearceyPhillip E. Johnson pries the lid off public debate about questions of ultimate concern--questions often suppressed by our society's intellectual elite.

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 ...

Theology and Mission in Ezra–Nehemiah
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Dean R Ulrich
Series edited by D. A. CarsonFor various reasons, the books of Ezra and Nehemiah have suffered comparative neglect in Old Testament scholarship.

It focuses not so much on how to be an effective leader but on how to be a godly participant in God's story. God may ...

Theology and Ethics in Deuteronomy
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Gary Millar
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThough written thousands of years ago, the book of Deuteronomy is unmatched in its relevance for the affluent Western church of today. Moses' words were meant to equip God's people for living godly lives in a prosperous, pluralistic world. The cultural changes now taking place in our own social setting make the parallel between Israel and the church—and what Deuteronomy has to say—both pertinent ...
