Historical-critical approaches to Scripture rule out some readings
and commend others, but they rarely offer much help to either
theological reflection or the preaching of the Word. They do not
point the church forward in the life of discipleship. These
commentaries have learned from tradition, but they are most
importantly commentaries for today. The authors share the
conviction that their work will be more contemporary, more
faithful, and more radical, to the extent that it is more biblical,
honestly wrestling with the texts of the Scriptures.--from the
series introduction The volumes in Belief: A Theological Commentary
on the Bible from Westminster John Knox Press offer a fresh and
invigorating approach to all the books of the Bible. Building on a
wide range of sources from biblical studies, the history of
theology, the church's liturgical and musical traditions,
contemporary culture, and the Christian tradition, noted scholars
focus less on traditional historical and literary angles in favor
of a theologically focused commentary that considers the
contemporary relevance of the texts. This series is an invaluable
resource for those who want to probe beyond the backgrounds and
words of biblical texts to their deep theological and ethical
meanings for the church today.
