A quick, on-the-ground guide to the Old Testament of the Bible.
This rich and practical handbook-an abridged edition of the
bestselling book An Introduction to the Old Testament-makes Old
Testament scholarship accessible to the everyday reader. Renowned
Bible scholar Tremper Longman III gathers the best in historical
research and literary analysis to lead you through each book of the
Old Testament-from Genesis to Malachi. Most significantly, Longman
explores the meaning of each book in light of its cultural setting.
Features include: A chapter on each book of the Old Testament with
orientating data on what that book is about, key points to
understand, when and why it was written, and references to key
passages. A section in each chapter about how that book of the
Bible anticipates the Gospel. End-of-chapter questions for group
discussion or personal reflection. A bibliography of further
resources. Introducing the Old Testament makes the words, history,
and culture of biblical times come alive for readers. Laypersons as
well as church leaders will gain a solid understanding of the
historical background and theological message of the Old Testament
and be inspired to apply biblical truths to their lives.
Continuing a Gold Medallion Award-winning legacy, this completely
revised edition of The Expositor s Bible Commentary series puts
world-class biblical scholarship in your hands. Based on the
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.
Reflecting the Expositor s Bible Commentary international and
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"
The authors of the New Testament regularly quote and allude to Old
Testament passages that point to the presence, person, and work of
Jesus. Jesus himself claimed that Moses wrote about him (John
5:46). And on the road to Emmaus, Jesus instructed the disciples
from "Moses and all the prophets" regarding himself (Luke 24:27).
Though Christians affirm that the Old Testament bears witness to
Christ, how the Old Testament writers did this is a matter of
extensive debate. Furthermore, Christian biblical scholars also
debate the degree to which contemporary interpreters of the Bible
can follow the hermeneutics of the New Testament authors in using
the Old Testament to point to the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Five Views on Christ in the Old Testament is the first book to
bring together in conversation the major views on how the Old
Testament points to Christ. Contributors and views include: The
First Testament Priority View (John Goldingay) The Christotelic
View (Tremper Longman III) The Redemptive-Historical Christocentric
View (Jason DeRouchie) The Reception-Centered Intertextual View
(Havilah Dharamraj) The Premodern View (Craig Carter) Each
contributor presents their preferred methodology, showing readers
how their interpretive approach best explains the biblical data.
Additionally, authors provide case studies of various Old Testament
passages that equip readers to better compare the strengths and
weaknesses of each of author's approaches. This essential resource
will help readers learn practical steps to help them read the Old
Testament more faithfully as it testifies to Jesus the Messiah.
An upper-level introduction to the Old Testament that offers
students a thorough understanding of three key issues: historical
background, literary analysis, and theological message. This second
edition of An Introduction to the Old Testament integrates recent
developments in Old Testament scholarship. It has many distinctive
features that set it apart from other introductions to the Old
Testament: It's committed to a theologically evangelical
perspective. Emphasizes "special introduction"-the study of
individual books. Interacts in an irenic spirit with the
historical-critical method. Features points of research history and
representative scholars rather than an exhaustive treatment of past
scholarship. Deals with the meaning of each book, not in isolation
but in a canonical context. Probes the meaning of each book in the
setting of its culture. Including callouts, charts, and graphs, An
Introduction to the Old Testament is written with an eye to
understanding the nature of Old Testament historiography. Perfect
for seminary students, professors, and Bible teachers and ministry
leaders, as well as anyone looking for an in-depth and balanced
approach to Old Testament study.

The NIV Application Commentary helps you communicate and apply
biblical text effectively in today's context. Exodus is an exciting
story. God sends ten plagues upon the Egyptians and frees the
nation of Israel from slavery, the first Passover occurs, Moses
parts the red sea, the Ten Commandments are proclaimed, and the
Lord dwells among His chosen people. How can we apply all of this
to our lives now? Peter Enns says that the story of Exodus does not
truly end until the Second Coming, and hopes that by gaining a
deeper understanding of the story, we will understand our part in
it as a children of God. To bring the ancient messages of the Bible
into today's context, each passage is treated in three sections:
Original Meaning. Concise exegesis to help readers understand the
original meaning of the biblical text in its historical, literary,
and cultural context. Bridging Contexts. A bridge between the world
of the Bible and the world of today, built by discerning what is
timeless in the timely pages of the Bible. Contemporary
Significance. This section identifies comparable situations to
those faced in the Bible and explores relevant application of the
biblical messages. The author alerts the readers of problems they
may encounter when seeking to apply the passage and helps them
think through the issues involved. This unique, award-winning
commentary is the ideal resource for today's preachers, teachers,
and serious students of the Bible, giving them the tools, ideas,
and insights they need to communicate God's Word with the same
powerful impact it had when it was first written.
Did God condone genocide in the Old Testament? How do Christians
harmonize the warrior God of Israel with the God of love incarnate
in Jesus? Christians are often shocked to read that Yahweh, the God
of the Israelites, commanded the total destruction--all men, women,
and children--of the ethnic group known as the Canaanites. This
seems to contradict Jesus' command in the New Testament to love
your enemies and do good to all people. How can Yahweh be the same
God as the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ? What does genocide in
the Bible have to do with the politics of the 21st century? Show
Them No Mercy explores the Old Testament command of God to
exterminate the Canaanite population and what that implies about
continuity between the Old and New Testaments. The four views
presented are: Strong Discontinuity - emphasizes the strong
tension, regarding violence, between the two main texts of the
Bible (C.S. Cowles) Moderate Discontinuity - provides a
justification of God's actions in the Old Testament with strong
emphasis on exegesis (Eugene H. Merrill) Eschatological Continuity
- a reading of the warfare narratives that ties them contextually
to the book of Revelation and the Second Coming (Daniel L. Gard)
Spiritual Continuity - incorporates the genocidal account into the
full picture of the Old and New Testaments (Tremper Longman III)
The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of
scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both
fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a
one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different
positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

Understand salvation in both the Old and New Testaments. God Is a
Warrior traces the development of the "divine warrior" motif
through the Old and New Testaments, beginning with Israel's
conflicts with her enemies and ending with Christ's victorious
return in Revelation. Against the broader background of Ancient
Near Eastern warrior mythology, Part I discusses Yahweh's warfare
on behalf of ancient Israel, and prophecies of the coming Divine
Deliverer. Part II looks at the New Testament's Divine Warrior,
Jesus Christ, and his war against his spiritual enemies in the
Synoptic Gospels, in Paul's letters, and in the final apocalyptic
battle in the book of Revelation.
Genomic science indicates that humans descend not from an
individual pair but from a large population. What does this mean
for the basic claim of many Christians: that humans descend from
Adam and Eve? Leading evangelical geneticist Dennis Venema and
popular New Testament scholar Scot McKnight combine their expertise
to offer informed guidance and answers to questions pertaining to
evolution, genomic science, and the historical Adam. Some of the
questions they explore include: - Is there credible evidence for
evolution? - Do we descend from a population or are we the
offspring of Adam and Eve? - Does taking the Bible seriously mean
rejecting recent genomic science? - How do Genesis's creation
stories reflect their ancient Near Eastern context, and how did
Judaism understand the Adam and Eve of Genesis? - Doesn't Paul's
use of Adam in the New Testament prove that Adam was a historical
individual? The authors address up-to-date genomics data with
expert commentary from both genetic and theological perspectives,
showing that genome research and Scripture are not irreconcilable.
Foreword by Tremper Longman III and afterword by Daniel Harrell.

separate table of contents, are: -Has the Church Misread the Bible?
-- Moises Silva -Literary Approaches to Biblical Interpretation --

The stories of Samuel, Saul, and David are among the most memorable
in the Old Testament. Yet the lives of these individuals are bound
up in the larger story of God's purpose for his people. In this
Tyndale Old Testament Commentary, V. Philips Long explores the
meaning of the biblical history of Israel's vital transition from a
confederation of tribes to nationhood under a king. He shows how
attending to the books of Samuel repays its readers richly in terms
of literary appreciation, historical knowledge, and theological
grounding. The Tyndale Commentaries are designed to help the reader
of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The
Introduction to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of
its authorship, date, original setting, and purpose. Following a
structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by
section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on
individual verses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes
provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new
Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text
is structured under three headings: Context, Comment, and Meaning.
The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its
message plain.

A new commentary for today's world, The Story of God Bible
Commentary explains and illuminates each passage of Scripture in
light of the Bible's grand story. The first commentary series to do
so, SGBC offers a clear and compelling exposition of biblical
texts, guiding everyday readers in how to creatively and faithfully

illuminates each text as embedded in its canonical and historical
setting. LIVE the Story: Reflects on how each text can be lived
today and includes contemporary stories and illustrations to aid
preachers, teachers, and students. -1 & 2 Kings- While the book
of Kings is interested in history, it is more concerned with
theology. It narrates the story of God's relationship with his
people over the course of the monarchy-how he judges his own
people, even sending them into exile. Lessons from these narratives
continue to challenge today's readers to obedience and exclusive
worship of God. Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III,
and written by a number of top-notch theologians, The Story of God
Bible Commentary series will bring relevant, balanced, and
clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or
ministry.
Relationships are a wonderful, mysterious, often elusive, sometimes
painful part of the human experience. The most intimate of all
human relationships, according to the Bible, is that between a
husband and a wife. It is no surprise, therefore, that there is a
book of the Bible, the Song of Songs, that focuses on this
relationship. What is surprising is how little attention is given
to the Song of Songs by scholars, by the church, and by readers of
the Bible. With this volume Tremper Longman III unpacks for modern
people what this ancient love poem says about the male-female
relationship -- and, by analogy, about God's love for his people.
Longman's superb study begins with a thorough introduction to the
Song of Songs and its background. Longman discusses the book's
title, authorship, date, literary style, language, structure,
cultural milieu, and theological content. He also canvasses the
long history of interpretation of the Song of Songs, a history too
often characterized by repression of the text. In the commentary
itself, Longman structures the Song of Songs according to its
twenty-three poetic units and explains its message verse by verse.
The exposition is made clearer by Longman's adoption of an
anthropological approach to the text and by his frequent
comparisons of the Song of Songs with other ancient Near Eastern
literature. Learned yet highly accessible, innovative yet fully
informed by past scholarship, this commentary shows the beautiful
Song of Songs to be a timeless celebration of human love and
sexuality.
The book of Psalms is the heart of the Old Testament, the libretto
of the most vibrant worship imaginable. It informs our intellect,
stimulates our imagination, arouses our emotions and stirs us to
holy thoughts and actions. It is also a pivotal witness to, and
anticipation of, Jesus Christ. Tremper Longman's commentary
interprets each psalm in its Old Testament setting, summarizes its
message and reflects on its significance from a New Testament
perspective, noting any citation and also providing a
Christological reading.
The book of Exodus is a key to understanding the Bible. Without it,
the Bible would lack three early scenes: deliverance, covenant and
worship. Exodus provides the events and narrative, the themes and
imagery foundational for understanding the story of Israel and of
Jesus. You can read Exodus on your own, and its main themes will be
clear enough. But an expert can sharpen your understanding and
appreciation of its drama. Tremper Longman provides a box-seat
guide to Exodus, discussing its historical backdrop, sketching out
its literary context, and developing its principal themes, from
Israel's deliverance from servitude to Pharaoh to its dedication to
service to God. And, for Christians, he helps us view the book from
the perspective of its fulfillment in Christ.

presents a compelling account of how most of us experience God in
our everyday lives. We see God working indirectly behind the
scenes, giving us a theology of divine and human cooperation, as
those who pray for God's blessings participate in answering their
own petitions as well as the prayers of others. In Esther's story,
we recognize our own world today, often experiencing it as a place
where God seems hidden. Her book challenges us in unique ways.
