Lawgiver and liberator. Seer and prophet. The only human permitted to converse with God "face-to-face." Moses is the most commanding presence in the Old Testament. Yet as Jonathan Kirsch shows in this brilliant, stunningly original volume, Moses was also an enigmatic and mysterious figure--at once a good shepherd and a ruthless warrior, a spiritual leader and a magician, a lawgiver who broke his own laws, God's chosen friend and hounded victim. Now, in Moses: A Life, Kirsch accomplishes the wondrous feat of revealing the real Moses, a strikingly modern figure who steps out from behind the facade of Sunday school lessons and movie matinees.
Drawing on the biblical text and a treasury of both scholarship and storytelling, Kirsch examines all that is known and all that has been imagined of Moses. In these vivid pages, we see the marvels and mysteries of Moses's life in a new light--his rescue in infancy and adoption by an Egyptian princess; his reluctant assumption of the role of liberator; his struggles to wrest his people from the pharaoh's dominion; his desperate vigil on Mount Sinai. Here too is the darker, more ominous Moses--the sorcerer, the husband of a pagan woman, the military commander who cold-bloodedly ordered the slaying of innocent people; the beloved of God whom God sought twice to murder.
Jonathan Kirsch brings both prodigious knowledge and a keen imagination to one of the most compelling stories of the Bible, and the results are fascinating. A figure of mystery, passion, and contradiction, Moses emerges from this book very much a hero for our time.

In 1 Peter, explains Wayne Grudem, readers are encouraged to grow
in their trust in God and their obedience to him throughout their
lives, but especially when they suffer. "Here is a brief and very
clear summary both of the consolations and instructions needful for
the encouragement and direction of a Christian in his journey to
Heaven, elevating his thoughts and desires to that happiness, and
strengthening him against all opposition in the way, both that of
corruption within, and temptations and afflictions from without,"
says Archbishop Robert Leighton in the introduction. The Tyndale
New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for
Bible study. Written by some of the world's most distinguished
evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable,
and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament. These
Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand what the
Bible actually says and what it means. The introduction to each
volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship,
date, and historical background of the biblical book under
consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by
section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on
individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The
aim throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to
make its message plain to readers today. The original, unrevised
text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a
larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the
series.

No book of the Old Testament is more frequently quoted in the New
than Isaiah, and no portion of Isaiah is more frequently quoted in
the New than the typologically fertile soil of Isaiah 40-66. Still,
as interpreted by the fathers, Isaiah presents a message that is
far more soteriological than christological, leading readers to a
deeper understanding of God's judgment and salvation. Isaiah 40-66
provides us with the closest thing the Old Testament has to offer
regarding a systematic theology. The excerpts included in this
volume offer us a rich array of differing styles, principles and
theological emphases from Theodoret of Cyr to Eusebius and
Procopius, to Cyril of Alexandria, Jerome and Augustine. Readers
will be enriched by the wide-ranging selections, some of which are
translated here into English for the first time.

The Gospel of John was beloved by the early church, much as it is
today, for its spiritual insight and clear declaration of Jesus'
divinity. Clement of Alexandria indeed declared it the "spiritual
Gospel." Early disputers with heretics such as Cerinthus and the
Ebionites drew upon the Gospel of John to refute their heretical
notions and uphold the full deity of Christ, and this Gospel more
than any other was central to the trinitarian and christological
debates of the fourth and fifth centuries. At the same time, the
Gospel of John was also thought to be the most chronological, and
even to this day is the source of our sense of Jesus' having a
three-year ministry. And John Chrysostom's Homilies on John,
perhaps more than any other commentary, emphasize Christ's humanity
and condescension toward the human race. In addition to the serial
homilies of John Chrysostom, readers of this volume will find
selections from those of Origen, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Cyril of
Alexandria and Augustine. These commentaries are supplemented with
homiletic material from Gregory the Great, Peter Chrysologus,
Caesarius, Amphilochius, Basil the Great and Basil of Seleucia
among others. Liturgical selections derive from Ephrem the Syrian,
Ambrose and Romanos the Melodist, which are further supplemented
with doctrinal material from Athanasius, the Cappodocians, Hilary
and Ambrose. This rich tradition, some of which is here translated
for the first time, offers a vast treasure out of which today's
scribes trained for the kingdom may bring forth that which is new
and what is old.
Ambrosiaster ("Star of Ambrose") is the name given to the anonymous
author of the earliest complete Latin commentary on the thirteen
epistles of Paul. The commentaries were thought to have been
written by Ambrose throughout the Middle Ages, but their authorship
was challenged by Erasmus, whose arguments have proved decisive.
The commentaries, which serve as important witnesses to pre-Vulgate
Latin versions of Paul's epistles, are noteworthy in several
respects. Ambrosiaster was a careful and thoughtful interpreter,
who made little use of allegory, though he employed typology
judiciously. Writing during the pontificate of Damasus (366-384),
he is a witness to Nicene orthodoxy and frequently comments on
themes related to the Trinity, the consubstantiality of the Son,
the problem of the unbelief of the Jews and the nature of human
sinfulness. He had a keen eye for moral issues and often offers
comments that reflect his knowledge of how the church had changed
from the time of the apostles to his own day. Here for the first
time his commentaries on Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians,
Colossians, 1-2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon are
made available in English, ably translated and edited by Gerald L.
Bray.
