The Believers Church Bible Commentary presents the best of modern
scholarship in an accessible, practical form. The commentary
emphasizes the special concerns of readers from the Believers
Church tradition.
At the end of each chapter, an article on "The Text in the Life
of the Church" highlights how the Scripture passage applies to the
daily practice of Christian faith. Some of the themes that the
Believers Church Bible Commentary underscores are believer's
baptism, submission to the rule of Christ in the church, and
following Christ in personal sacrifice and service.
Biblical scholarship today is divided between two mutually
exclusive concepts of the emergence of monotheism: an
early-monotheistic Yahwism paradigm and a native-pantheon paradigm.
This study identifies five main stages on Israel's journey towards
monotheism. Rather than deciding whether Yahweh was originally a
god of the Baal-type or of the El-type, this work shuns origins and
focuses instead on the first period for which there are abundant
sources, the Omride era. Non-biblical sources depict a
significantly different situation from the Baalism the Elijah cycle
ascribes to King Achab. The novelty of the present study is to take
this paradox seriously and identify the Omride dynasty as the first
stage in the rise of Yahweh as the main god of Israel. Why
Jerusalem later painted the Omrides as anti-Yahweh idolaters is
then explained as the need to distance itself from the near-by
sanctuary of Bethel by assuming the Omride heritage without
admitting its northern Israelite origins. The contribution of the
Priestly document and of Deutero-Isaiah during the Persian era
comprise the next phase, before the strict Yahwism achieved in
Daniel 7 completes the emergence of biblical Yahwism as a truly
monotheistic religion.

For two centuries scholars have sought to discover the historical
Jesus. Presently such scholarship is dominated not by the question
'Who was Jesus?' but rather 'How do we even go about answering the
question, "Who was Jesus?"?' With this current situation in mind,
Jonathan Bernier undertakes a two-fold task: one, to engage on the
level of the philosophy of history with existing approaches to the
study of the historical Jesus, most notably the criteria approach
and the social memory approach; two, to work with the critical
realism developed by Bernard Lonergan, introduced into New
Testament studies by Ben F. Meyer, and advocated by N.T. Wright in
order to develop a philosophy of history that can elucidate current
debates within historical Jesus studies.

Reception history has emerged over the last decades as a rapidly
growing domain of research, entertaining a notable methodological
diversity. Authoritative Texts and Reception History samples that
diversity, offering a collection of essay that discuss various
reception-historical issues, from a plurality of perspectives,
across several fields: Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Pseudepigrapha
and the Dead Sea Scrolls, New Testament, early and late-antique
Christianity. While furthering specific discussions in their
specific fields, the contributions included here-authored by both
established and emerging scholars-illustrate just how wide the
umbrella of 'reception history' can be, and the varied range of
topics, concerns and approaches it can accommodate.
