revised edition of The Expositor s Bible Commentary series puts

original twelve-volume set that has become a staple in college and
seminary libraries and pastors studies worldwide, this new
thirteen-volume edition marshals the most current evangelical
scholarship and resources. You ll find up-to-date information
grounded in the same unchanging commitment to the divine
inspiration, complete trustworthiness, and full authority of the
Bible. Of the fifty-six contributors, thirty of them are new.

cross-denominational approach, they come from the United States,
Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand, and from a
broad diversity of churches, including Anglican, Baptist, Brethren,
Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, and Reformed. The Expositor s
Bible Commentary uses the complete New International Version for
its English text, but it also refers freely to other translations
and to the original languages. For each book of the Bible, the
thoroughly revised features consist of: A comprehensive
introduction A short and precise bibliography A detailed outline
Insightful exposition of passages and verses Overviews of sections
of Scripture to illumine the big picture Occasional reflections to
give more detail on important issues Notes on textual questions and
special problems, placed close to the text in question
Transliteration and translation of Hebrew and Greek words, enabling
readers to understand even the more technical notes A balanced and
respectful approach toward marked differences of opinion"
Texts and Contexts honors the life and scholarship of David E.
Garland. Fifteen colleagues, friends, and former students each
offer a study onone of the canonical Gospels or Paul's letters,
demonstrating how these texts continue to reveal new surprises and
a wealth of resources for service to the gospel. Throughout his
productive career as a New Testament scholarafirst at the Southern
Seminary andlaterat Baylor University's George W. Truett
Theological SeminaryaGarlandbecame widely known and highly regarded
for his wise and careful interpretive work. His commentaries on the
Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) as well as Paul's letters (1
Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon)
exemplify careful, thoughtful, and faithful biblical scholarship in
service of both the academy and the church. This present volume
begins with five studies on Gospels texts and the Jesus tradition
(Margaret E. Ramey, Richard Bauckham, Mikeal C. Parsons, Andrew E.
Arterbury, and Craig L. Blomberg). Five essays on Pauline passages
and interpretation follow (Todd D. Still, Mark A. Seifrid, Craig S.
Keener, Bradley Arnold, and Klyne R. Snodgrass). Five homilies
round out the collection (Ben Witherington III, W. Hulitt Gloer,
Bill J. Leonard, Timothy George, and Daniel O. Aleshire). Even as
this book celebrates and commemorates what Garland has already
done, it anticipates scholarship yet to be received.
John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost consciously seeksto "justify
the ways of God to men." The Apostle Paul's magisterialletter to
the Romans does not so much intend to defend God's ways as to
declare God's Wordaa Word made public in thegospel. InRomans
9a11this declaration occurs within the context ofGod's troubled
relationship with Israel, both past and future. God and Israel
traces the ways in which providence and purpose are realized as
God's Word to and about Israel in Romans 9a11. Written by gifted
and tested Pauline interpreters, the volume offers a fresh reading
of this vexed and vexing part of Paul in the context of Romans and
the Pauline witness. God and Israel squarely tackles the questions
ofPaul's understanding of salvation-historical time (L. Ann
Jervis); the faithfulness and sovereignty of the covenantal God
(Michael Wolter); Paul's mythic rhetoric of "ingrafting" (Davina C.
Lopez); the disputed relation between Israel and her "enemies," the
Gentiles (J. Ross Wagner); the role of Christ in God's purposes and
his relation to the nation of Israel (Simon Gathercole); and,
finally, the unfailing eschatological hope for Israel's full
inclusion (Jonathan A. Linebaugh). If only simple solutions are
sought for the challenges Paul's gospel and his letters
pose,frustration will result. But if readersfollow the Apostle to
theGentilesas he wrestles with ultimate questions of God's
purposesin his own anguish over kith and kin,then wisdom will
befound.
The study of Paul and his letters can be exciting, challenging, and
life-changing, but only if it is done well and only if students
achieve more than a basic familiarity with the subject. This is
exactly what Pauline experts Bruce W. Longenecker and Todd D. Still
accomplish with their new textbook aimed at college and seminary
level courses on Paul and his writings. Longenecker and Still bring
decades of study and expertise to Thinking through Paul,
challenging readers to delve deeply into Paul s writings and
wrestle with his richly-layered and dynamic theological discourse.
Seeking to situate their study of the Apostle in proper
perspective, Longenecker and Still first look at Paul s life before
and after his encounter with the risen Christ en route to Damascus,
then examine each of Paul s letters individually, and finally
synthesize the Pauline writings to highlight the main strands of
Paul s theologizing---all the while keeping in mind the particular
context of first-century Christianity. Filled with images, maps,
charts, and questions for further study and discussion, Thinking
through Paul is both engaging and easy-to-follow, making it the
perfect choice for classrooms and for interested readers."
Building on the work of Tertullian and Paul and The Apostolic
Fathers and Paul, this volume continues a series of specially
commissioned studies by leading voices in New Testament/early
Christianity and patristics studies to consider how Paul was read,
interpreted and received by the early Church Fathers. In this
volume the use of Paul's writings is examined within the writings
of Irenaeus of Lyon. Issues of influence, reception, theology and
history are examined to show how Paul's work influenced the
developing theology of the early Church. The literary style of
Paul's output is also examined. The contributors to the volume
represent leading lights in the study of Irenaeus, as well as
respected names from the field of New Testament studies.

How might late second/early third century readings of Paul
illuminate our understanding of the first century texts? A close
comparison of Tertullian and Paul reveals the former to be both a
dubious and a profoundly insightful interpreter of the latter. With
growing interest in the field of patristic exegesis, there is a
need for examination of Tertullian's readings of Paul. Tertullian,
the first among the significant Latin writers, shaped generations
of Christians by providing both a vocabulary for and an exposition
of elemental Christian doctrines, wherein he relied heavily on
Pauline texts and appropriated them for his own use. This new
collection of essays presents a collaborative attempt to
understand, critique, and appreciate one of the earliest and most
influential interpreters of Paul, and thereby better understand and
appreciate both the dynamic event of early patristic exegesis and
the Pauline texts themselves. Each chapter takes a two pronged
approach, beginning with a patristic scholar considering the topic
at hand, before a New Testament response. This results in a fast
paced and illuminating interdisciplinary volume.

Meeks' landmark volume examines the socio-historical context of
Pauline Christianity through the lens of Paul's letters. This year
marks the twenty-five anniversary of the publication of "The First
Urban Christians" by Wayne A. Meeks. In this now-classic work Meeks
examined the socio-historical context of Pauline Christianity
through the lens of Paul's letters. After The First Urban
Christians, edited by Todd D. Still and David G. Horrell, is a
collection of seven essays written by established scholars, plus an
epilog authored by Meeks himself, that revisits and updates Meeks'
landmark volume. Furthermore, "After The First Urban Christians"
offers fresh lines of inquiry for the future study of Paul and his
churches in their social setting.
The six essays in this volume consider the relationship between
Jesus and Paul from diverse angles, bringing fresh insights into an
area of study that has long lain dormant. Written by established
scholars, Jesus and Paul Reconnected explores historical congruity
between Christ and his apostle and examines potential connections
in their thought, relationships, and practices. Topics considered
include the grace of God, treatment of the poor, law and gospel,
Peter??'s connection between the two, the Last Supper, and the
death of Christ.
Todd Still brings these superb scholars together in hopes of
encouraging further conversation and contributing to this growing
area of New Testament research. The result is a new and stimulating
exploration of these two extraordinary figures of the faith.

The subjects of rhetoric, history, and theology intersect in unique
ways within New Testament and early Christian literature. The
contributors of this volume represent a wide range of perspectives
but share a common interest in the interpretation of these texts in
light of their rhetorical, historical, and theological elements.
What results is a fresh and perceptive reading of the New Testament
and early Christianity literature.
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 and the Gospel of St.
John, published in volumes one and two, respectively, there were
fragments on 2 Corinthians and 1 Peter. Lightfoot was well known as
a Pauline expert given his commentaries on Galatians, Philippians,
Colossians and Philemon, and fragments of his work on Romans, 1
Corinthians, Ephesians, and 1 and 2 Thessalonians were published
posthumously. It is therefore a delight to have his notes on 2
Corinthians available for the first time. Lightfoot was also
interested in the life and work of Peter. The introduction to his
commentary on 1 Peter provides insightful analysis of the
chronology and context of the epistle. Lightfoot seeks to
demonstrate that Peter knew Paul's work and that these two great
apostles were in harmony regarding theology and ethics. Now
complete, these three commentary volumes reveal a scholar well
ahead of his time, one of the great minds of his or any generation.

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.

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.
