Reconsidering Paul's Theology of Glory in Romans
by Haley Goranson Jacob
Foreword by N. T. WrightWith its soaring affirmations and profound statements of salvation in Christ, Romans 8 is a high point in Pauline theology.

Psalm 110 in Biblical Theology
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Matthew H. Emadi
Series edited by D. A. CarsonDespite its importance in the New Testament and the priestly messianic promise identified by King David, relatively little has been written on Psalm 110 from a biblical-theological perspective.
