ebookGod the Peacemaker
How Atonement Brings Shalom
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Graham Cole
Series edited by D. A. CarsonWhat does God intend for his broken creation? In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Graham A. Cole seeks to answer this question by setting the atoning work of the cross in the broad framework of God's grand plan to restore the created order, and places the story of Jesus, his cross and empty tomb within it.

Christian Reflections on the Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes and Esther
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Barry G. Webb
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThese five Old Testament books, traditionally known simply as "the Scrolls," are among the most neglected parts of the Christian Bible.

The Word of God in the Words of Jeremiah
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Andrew G. Shead
Series edited by D. A. Carson"I am putting my words as a fire in your mouth; these people are tinder and it will consume them." (Jeremiah 5:14) In the book of Jeremiah, not only is the vocabulary of "word" and "words" uniquely prevalent, but formulae marking divine speech also play an unprecedented role in giving the book's final form its narrative and theological shape. Indeed, "the word of the Lord" is arguably the main ...

paperbackDelivered from the Elements of the World
Atonement, Justification, Mission
by Peter J. Leithart
In Delivered from the Elements of the World Peter Leithart reframes Anselm's question, "Why the God Man?"

A Theological Response to Global Violence Against Women and Girls
by Elizabeth Gerhardt
Violence against women and girls is a human rights epidemic that affects millions of lives around the world.

by I. Howard Marshall
Apart from the apostle Paul, Luke is arguably the most influential force in the canon of the New Testament. His Gospel and Acts occupy almost a third of the New Testament, and together their narrative voice carries us over a span of more than sixty years, from the birth of Jesus to the imprisonment of Paul in Rome. It is difficult to imagine our understanding of the New Testament period without ...
