    by Mark J. Boda
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    "Return to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you," (Zech 1:3 ESV). Repentance concerns the repair of a relationship with God disrupted by human sin.

    Preaching in the New Testament

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Jonathan Griffiths
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    Many Christians share the assumption that preaching the word of God is at the heart of God's plans for the gospel in our age, that it is vital for the church's health, and that it is the central task of the pastor-teacher. Many helpful books on preaching are available. The vast majority are concerned with "how-to," but relatively few focus primarily on the character and theology of preaching according ...

    Unceasing Kindness

    A Biblical Theology of Ruth

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Peter Lau and Gregory Goswell
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    The Old Testament book of Ruth is understandably a firm favorite in the church for small-group study and preaching: a heart-warming story of loyalty and love, a satisfying tale of a journey from famine to fullness. In the academy, the book has been a testing ground for a variety of hermeneutical approaches, and many different ways of interpreting it have been put forward. However, the single interpretative ...

    The Book of Isaiah and God's Kingdom

    A Thematic-Theological Approach

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Andrew Abernethy
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    The book of Isaiah has nourished the church throughout the centuries. However, its massive size can be intimidating; its historical setting can seem distant, opaque, varied; its organization and composition can seem disjointed and fragmented; its abundance of terse, poetic language can make its message seem veiled—and where are those explicit prophecies about Christ? These are typical experiences ...

    Reformation Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Beth Kreitzer

    "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Reflecting on this verse from the Gospel of Luke (2:11), Martin Luther declared it to be a summary of the gospel: "See here what the gospel is, namely, a joyful sermon about Christ our Savior. Whoever preaches him rightly preaches the gospel and pure joy." Reformation commentators meditated upon the significance ...
