    Colossians Remixed

    Subverting the Empire

    by Brian J. Walsh and Sylvia C. Keesmaat

    Have we really heard the message of Colossians? Is this New Testament book just another religious text whose pretext is an ideological grab for dominating power? Reading Colossians in context, ancient and contemporary, can perhaps give us new ears to hear. In this innovative and refreshing book Brian J. Walsh and Sylvia C. Keesmaat explain our own sociocultural context to then help us get into ...

  • Engaging with God: A Biblical Theology of Worship, By David G. Peterson
    paperback

    Engaging with God

    A Biblical Theology of Worship

    by David G. Peterson
    Foreword by I. Howard Marshall

    Worship is of immense concern in the church and ironically the source of controversy and dispute. Can we get behind the question of what style of worship we should engage in to understand the bedrock foundation for God's people--honoring him as he desires? Is the dissatisfaction with worship voiced by so many perhaps a result of our having wandered from biblical teaching on the subject? Through ...

    Matthew 1-13

    Volume 1A

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Manlio Simonetti
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    The Gospel of Matthew stands out as a favorite biblical text among patristic commentators. The patristic commentary tradition on Matthew begins with Origen's pioneering twenty-five-volume commentary on the First Gospel in the mid-third century. In the Latin-speaking West, where commentaries did not appear until about a century later, the first commentary on Matthew was written by Hilary of Poitiers ...

    Luke

    Volume 3

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Arthur Just Jr.
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    For the church fathers the Gospels did not serve as resources for individual analysis and academic study. They were read and heard and interpreted within the worshiping community. They served as sources for pastoral counsel and admonition for those who were committed to the Way. Although Matthew and John were generally the preferred Gospels, Luke, because of his particular interests and unique contributions, ...

    Acts

    Volume 5

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Francis Martin
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    The Acts of the Apostles—or more in keeping with the author's intent, the Acts of the Ascended Lord—is part two of Luke's story of "all that Jesus began to do and teach." In it he recounts the expansion of the church as its witness spread from Jerusalem to all of Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.

    While at least forty early church authors commented on Acts, the ...

    Volume 10

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Erik M. Heen and Philip D. W. Krey
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    Distinctive in form, content, and style, the epistle to the Hebrews offers a profound high Christology and makes an awe-inspiring contribution to our understanding of Jesus as our High Priest. The earliest extant commentary on the letter comes to us in thirty-four homilies from John Chrysostom. These homilies serve to anchor the excerpts chosen by the editors of this volume because ...
