Written by notable evangelical scholars, each volume in the
Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series treats
the literary context and structure of the passage in the original
Greek. The series consistently provides the main point, an
exegetical outline, verse-by-verse commentary, and theology in
application in each section of every commentary. Critical
scholarship informs each step but does not dominate the commentary,
allowing readers to concentrate on the biblical author s message as
it unfolds. While primarily designed for those with a basic
knowledge of biblical Greek, all who strive to understand and teach
the New Testament will find these books beneficial. The ZECNT
series covers the entire New Testament in twenty volumes; Clinton
E. Arnold serves as general editor. In this volume, Grant Osborne
offers pastors, students, and teachers a focused resource for
reading the Gospel of Matthew. Through the use of graphic
representations of translations, succinct summaries of main ideas,
exegetical outlines, and other features, Osborne presents the
Gospel of Matthew with precision and accuracy. Because of this
series focus on the textual structure of the scriptures, readers
will better understand the literary elements of Matthew, comprehend
the author s revolutionary goals, and ultimately discovering their
vital claims upon the church today."
Introduces readers to the key passages that must be examined when
trying to understand what the New Testament says about Jews and
Judaism. An ideal resource for students studying the New Testament
at undergraduate level and for bible study groups.

commitment to Scripture as divine revelation. This series
emphasizes a thorough analysis of textual, linguistic, structural,
and theological evidence. The result is judicious and balanced
insight into the meanings of the text in the framework of biblical

Introduction-covers issues pertaining to the whole book, including
context, date, authorship, composition, interpretive issues,
purpose, and theology. Each section of the commentary includes:
Pericope Bibliography-a helpful resource containing the most
important works that pertain to each particular pericope.
Translation-the author's own translation of the biblical text,
reflecting the end result of exegesis and attending to Hebrew and
Greek idiomatic usage of words, phrases, and tenses, yet in
reasonably good English. Notes-the author's notes to the
translation that address any textual variants, grammatical forms,
syntactical constructions, basic meanings of words, and problems of
translation. Form/Structure/Setting-a discussion of redaction,
genre, sources, and tradition as they concern the origin of the
pericope, its canonical form, and its relation to the biblical and
extra-biblical contexts in order to illuminate the structure and
character of the pericope. Rhetorical or compositional features
important to understanding the passage are also introduced here.
Comment-verse-by-verse interpretation of the text and dialogue with
other interpreters, engaging with current opinion and scholarly
research. Explanation-brings together all the results of the
discussion in previous sections to expose the meaning and intention
of the text at several levels: (1) within the context of the book
itself; (2) its meaning in the OT or NT; (3) its place in the
entire canon; (4) theological relevance to broader OT or NT issues.
General Bibliography-occurring at the end of each volume, this
extensive bibliographycontains all sources used anywhere in the
commentary.
First published in 2011, The Jewish Annotated New Testament was a
groundbreaking work, bringing the New Testament's Jewish background
to the attention of students, clergy, and general readers. In this
new edition, eighty Jewish scholars bring together unparalleled
scholarship to shed new light on the text. This thoroughly revised
and greatly expanded second edition brings even more helpful
information and new insights to the study of the New Testament. *
Introductions to each New Testament book, containing guidance for
reading and specific information about how the book relates to the
Judaism of the period, have been revised and augmented, and in some
cases newly written. * Annotations on the text-some revised, some
new to this edition-provide verse-by-verse commentary. * The thirty
essays from the first edition are thoroughly updated, and there are
twenty-four new essays, on topics such as "Mary in Jewish
Tradition,", "Christology," and "Messianic Judaism." * For
Christian readers The Jewish Annotated New Testament offers a
window into the first-century world of Judaism from which the New
Testament springs. There are explanations of Jewish concepts such
as food laws and rabbinic argumentation. It also provides a
much-needed corrective to many centuries of Christian
misunderstandings of the Jewish religion. * For Jewish readers,
this volume provides the chance to encounter the New Testament-a
text of vast importance in Western European and American
culture-with no religious agenda and with guidance from Jewish
experts in theology, history, and Jewish and Christian thought. It
also explains Christian practices, such as the Eucharist. The
Jewish Annotated New Testament, Second Edition is an essential
volume that places the New Testament writings in a context that
will enlighten readers of any faith or none.
Thomas Schreiner's substantial New Testament Theology examined the
unifying themes that emerge from a detailed reading of the New
Testament canon. Magnifying God in Christ provides a student-level
digest of Schreiner's massive work, exploring the key themes and
teachings of the New Testament in a more accessible and concise
way. In addition to summarizing the findings of Schreiner's larger
work, this survey provides answers to the 'so what?' question of
New Testament theology.
During the Orthodox celebration of Holy Week, the Church relives
the arrest, trial, sufferings, and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. On
Matins of Holy Friday (commonly served on the evening of Holy
Thursday), there is a special service where, the passion of
Christ's sufferings in the Garden of Gethsemane, His Trial, and
Crucifixion through all four Gospels is read aloud in church. This
book provides the English text for those twelve Passion Gospel
readings.
Greek Scripture Journal: 1-3 John contains the text of The Greek
New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge with added

unique way to interact with this New Testament book in its original
language.
In Being and Becoming, Frederick David Carr offers a fresh
examination of the theme of human transformation and identity in
Paul's letters. Carr structures his investigation beneath two acute
questions about Paul's writings: What does Paul mean when he speaks
of people being transformed? What do such transformations tell us
about Paul's understanding of the self? Carr's study yields new
insights into the apostle's anthropology, shedding light on the
interpretation of the Pauline canon. Carr approaches the topic of
"new creation" in Paul's letters analytically, comparatively, and
synthetically. Analytically, he gives special attention to specific
references to human transformation found in the Pauline epistles.
Comparatively, he places Paul's transformation references into
conversation with a range of other ancient writings, and in doing
so highlights the distinctiveness of the apostle's approach to
anthropological questions. Synthetically, he considers how these
varied references relate to one another and what they entail for
how we understand the apostle's thought. From these categories,
Carr develops a phenomenology of human transformation in Paul and
analyzes the "models" of selfhood at work in his language of human
change. Carr argues that Paul portrays human selfhood as, in part,
constituted by transformation. Unlike some writers in antiquity,
Paul does not describe change as a threat to the self-it is a
fundamental element of subjectivity. Foundational changes in this
life produce new moral selfhood in Christ's body, and
eschatological transformation will effect wholesale change. In the
present, believers' existence is determined by a state of becoming
in Christ. For Christ-followers, therefore, transformation is not
merely something that happens to the self, or just an aspect of who
a believer is, but rather a defining feature of selfhood.
Preaching's Survey of Bibles and Bible Reference award InterVarsity
Press is proud to present The Lightfoot Legacy, a three-volume set
of previously unpublished material from J. B. Lightfoot, one of the
great biblical scholars of the modern era. In the spring of 2013,
Ben Witherington III discovered hundreds of pages of biblical
commentary by Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library. While
incomplete, these commentaries represent a goldmine for historians
and biblical scholars, as well as for the many people who have
found Lightfoot's work both informative and edifying, deeply
learned and pastorally sensitive. In addition to the material on
the Acts of the Apostles, published in volume one, there were
detailed notes on the Fourth Gospel, a text that Lightfoot loved
and lectured on frequently. These pages contain his commentary
notes for John 1-12. Lightfoot had long wanted to write a
commentary on the Gospel of John, but he was unable to do so due to
more pressing demands on his time, as well as his respect for his
colleague B. F. Westcott. As a result, though he continued to
compile notes on the text, they never saw the light of day until
now. Included alongside the commentary are Lightfoot's long
out-of-print essays on the historical reliability of the Fourth
Gospel. Now on display for all to see, these commentary volumes
reveal a scholar well ahead of his time, one of the great minds of
his or any generation.
"The followers of Jesus are to be different," writes John Stott,
"different from both the nominal church and the secular world,
different from both the religious and the irreligious. The Sermon
on the Mount is the most complete delineation anywhere in the New
Testament of the Christian counter-culture." In the Sermon on the
Mount, the "nearest thing to a manifesto" that Jesus ever uttered,
we find Jesus' own description of what he wanted his followers to
be and do. In this Bible Speaks Today volume, Stott guides readers
through Jesus' well-known but often poorly understood teachings in
Matthew 5 through 7. Leading us to listen carefully to the meaning
of each verse in its context, Stott also confronts the challenges
this text raises for today's Christians and draws out practical
applications. This revised edition features lightly updated
language, current NIV Scripture quotations and a new interior
design. A seven-session study guide at the end of the book will
help you more deeply ponder the message of the Sermon on the Mount
and how it speaks to your life.
In his epistle to the Philippians, Paul addresses internal
struggles and external pressures that the church faced. In the
letter he presents the sacrificial life of Christ as the ultimate
example, "the ethical foundation for all of life," and then calls
believers to imitate Christ in their own lives. In this volume,
Mark J. Keown scrupulously examines Philippians with a clear eye on
the original text and a fine-tuned ear to first-century culture
while also interacting with the full history of scholarship on
Philippians. Keown also carefully considers the letter's
theological and devotional importance for present-day believers.
The result is the most comprehensive commentary on Philippians yet
published.
Preaching's Survey of Bibles and Bible Reference InterVarsity Press
is proud to present The Lightfoot Legacy, a three-volume set of
previously unpublished material from J. B. Lightfoot, one of the
great biblical scholars of the modern era. In the spring of 2013,
Ben Witherington III discovered hundreds of pages of biblical
commentary by Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library. While
incomplete, these commentaries represent a goldmine for historians
and biblical scholars, as well as for the many people who have
found Lightfoot's work both informative and edifying, deeply
learned and pastorally sensitive. Among those many pages were two
sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the Apostles. Together they
amount to a richly detailed, albeit unfinished, commentary on Acts
1-21. The project of writing a commentary on Acts had long been on
Lightfoot's mind, and in the 1880s he wrote an article about the
book for the second British edition of William Smith's Dictionary
of the Bible. Thankfully, that is not all he left behind. Now on
display for all to see, these commentary notes reveal a scholar
well ahead of his time, one of the great minds of his or any
generation. Well over a century later, The Acts of the Apostles
remains a relevant and significant resource for the church today.
This book views the strange imagery of Revelation not as prophecies
of historical events, but as an expression of the entire destiny of
humankind on earth.
Using the words of Jesus in Luke 24:46-47 as a springboard, After
Emmaus explains how the story of redemption foretold in the Old
Testament is fulfilled in Christ, is reflected in the apostles'
ministry, and continues today through the mission of the church.
The Book of Revelation is one of the most cryptic books of the
Bible and one that raises many scholarly questions. What is its
literary genre? Why is it considered to be both a narrative and a
drama? Why does John disregard time-space coordinates? Why does the
audience have such an important role in the text? What literary
guidelines has the author designed to facilitate the reading of the
book? Applying the methods of literary theory to her study, Lourdes
Garcia-Urena argues that John wrote Revelation as a book to be read
aloud in a liturgical context. In her reading, John chose a
literary form, similar to the short story, that allows him to use
time-space coordinates flexibly, to dramatize the text, and to take
his time in describing his visions. Through these techniques the
audience re-lives and is made part of the visual and auditory
experience every time the book is read.

Jesus was condemned . . . so we could be set free. He was wounded .
. . so we can be healed. He died . . . so we might have life. The
cross has lost much of its appeal as a symbol of Christianity. Yet
what Christ did at the cross remains central to our faith. In this
richly designed book, Michael Card reflects on what it means for
Christians that we meet our savior at a cross. Card combs the Old
Testament prophecies and Gospel accounts of Jesus' self-sacrifice,
seeking a renewed vision of the cross-the inconceivable meeting
place of violence and grace.
In this six-session study (streaming video included), author and
pastor Jay Kim guides small-group members through Paul's letter to
the believers in Colossae, revealing what his words meant to his
original readers . . . and how they apply to us today. The letter
to the believers in Colossae contains a message that's urgent
today-a message of unity among the followers of Christ; a message
of thanksgiving and spiritual fullness in a broken world; a message
that shows us how to live as the people who are made alive in the
one true Christ. This study guide has everything you need for a
full Bible study experience, including: The study guide itself-a 40
Day reading plan through Colossians with discussion and personal
reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide. An

How nineteenth-century Protestant evangelicals used print and
visual media to shape American culture In nineteenth-century
America, "apocalypse" referred not to the end of the world but to
sacred revelation, and "geography" meant both the physical
landscape and its representation in printed maps, atlases, and
pictures. In Apocalyptic Geographies, Jerome Tharaud explores how
white Protestant evangelicals used print and visual media to
present the antebellum landscape as a "sacred space" of spiritual
pilgrimage, and how devotional literature influenced secular
society in important and surprising ways. Reading across genres and
media-including religious tracts and landscape paintings, domestic
fiction and missionary memoirs, slave narratives and moving
panoramas-Apocalyptic Geographies illuminates intersections of
popular culture, the physical spaces of an expanding and urbanizing
nation, and the spiritual narratives that ordinary Americans used
to orient their lives. Placing works of literature and visual
art-from Thomas Cole's The Oxbow to Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle
Tom's Cabin and Henry David Thoreau's Walden-into new contexts,
Tharaud traces the rise of evangelical media, the controversy and
backlash it engendered, and the role it played in shaping American
modernity.
Featuring vibrant full color throughout, the seventh edition of
Bart D. Ehrman's highly successful introduction approaches the New
Testament from a consistently historical and comparative
perspective, emphasizing the rich diversity of the earliest
Christian literature. Distinctive to this study is its unique focus
on the historical, literary, and religious milieux of the
Greco-Roman world, including early Judaism. As part of its
historical orientation, the book also discusses other Christian
writings that were roughly contemporary with the New Testament,
such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Apocalypse of Peter, and the
letters of Ignatius.
