    Finding Messiah

    A Journey into the Jewishness of the Gospel

    by Jennifer M. Rosner
    Foreword by Richard J. Mouw

    Jesus was Jewish, and his Jewish identity informed every aspect of his work, words, and witness. He came as the Messiah of Israel, God's covenant people, and he spoke the language of God's faithfulness to this people. So why does it seem that Judaism has little to do with our Christian discipleship today? Jennifer Rosner, a scholar of Jewish-Christian relations, takes us on a personal ...

    Ezra and Nehemiah

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries

    by Geert Lorein
    Series edited by David G. Firth
    Consulting Editor Tremper Longman III

    The checkered story of the kings, lasting nearly five centuries, ended disastrously in 587 BC with the sack of Jerusalem, the fall of the monarchy, and the removal to Babylonia of all that made Judah politically viable. It was a death to make way for a rebirth. The closely related books of Ezra and Nehemiah chart the Jews' return from exile to Jerusalem and the beginnings of that ...

    Proverbs

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries

    by Lindsay Wilson

    In many ways, Proverbs is similar to the wisdom literature of the wider ancient Near East. However, while the book initially appears to consist primarily of practical advice, wisdom is grounded in a relationship with God. In this replacement Tyndale Commentary, Lindsay Wilson shows how the first nine chapters provide a reading guide for the many proverbs in subsequent chapters; and how the fear ...

    Isaiah

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries

    by Paul D. Wegner
    Series edited by David G. Firth
    Consulting Editor Tremper Longman III

    No other prophetic book rivals Isaiah's clear message, powerful imagery, and confident hope in God's future deliverance. The prophet's vision of God's glory and holiness in chapter 6 permeates the whole book, and he never tires of correcting misplaced faith in power or false gods.

    In this thorough and accessible Tyndale commentary, Paul Wegner explores the background, structure, ...

    Rediscovering Paul

    An Introduction to His World, Letters, and Theology

    by E. Randolph Richards, David B. Capes, and Rodney Reeves

    For some of us, the apostle Paul is intimidating, like a distant and difficult uncle. Maybe not someone you'd like to hang out with at a coffee shop on a rainy day. He'd make a scene, evangelize the barista, and arouse looks across the room. For a mid-morning latte, we'd prefer Jesus over Paul. But Paul is actually the guy who—from Ephesus to Athens—was the talk of the marketplace, the raconteur ...
