Six Postures of Missional Christians
by Kim Hammond and Darren Cronshaw
Foreword by Michael Frost and Alan HirschEver wonder why people fall asleep in church? It happens. We?ve all seen it. We shuffle into rows of seats that grow more comfortable with every new fundraising campaign. We slouch down and settle in for an hour or so, as singers and storytellers and preachers and teachers take their turns filling our ears. And almost without fail, at least one of us nods off while listening to the greatest story ...

A Biblical Theology of Circumcision
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Karl Deenick
Series edited by D. A. CarsonGiven the foundational importance of circumcision in the Old Testament and its prevalence in numerous debates in the New Testament, it is surprising that so little detailed work has been done on establishing a biblical theology of circumcision. This lack is even more surprising given that circumcision forms the background for some of the most hotly contested writings of the apostle Paul. The situation ...

paperbackThe Song of Songs
An Introduction and Commentary
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries
by Iain M. Duguid
This Old Testament book, 'the best of songs', has fascinated and perplexed interpreters for centuries. We hear the passionate melody of romantic love, and are confronted by erotic imagery but whose love is described? Is it a couple?s love for each other, God?s love for his people, or a poem that speaks to love in all its dimensions? Iain Duguid?s commentary explains how the Song is designed to ...

Volume 5
Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Francis Martin
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe 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 works ...
