"Possibilities and Limits of Intertextuality for the Interpretation of Biblical Texts” examines the interpretive challenges posed by difficult biblical passages and explores how intertextuality can serve as a methodological tool for their analysis. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of intertextual approaches when applied to recurring theological and literary themes that span both the Old and New Testaments—such as the motif of the righteous who dies and is restored to life in the Psalms, the “Day of YHWH” in the prophetic writings, and the love narrative in the Song of ...

David Bentley Hart undertook this new translation of the New Testament in the spirit of "etsi doctrina non daretur", "as if doctrine is not given". Reproducing the texts' often fragmentary formulations without augmentation or correction, he has produced a pitilessly literal translation, one that captures the texts' impenetrability and unfinished quality while awakening listeners to an uncanniness that often lies hidden beneath doctrinal layers.

While the Christian tradition has subordinated John the Baptist to Jesus of Nazareth, John himself would likely have disagreed with that ranking. In this eye-opening new book John the Baptist in History and Theology, Joel Marcus makes a powerful case that John saw himself, not Jesus, as the proclaimer and initiator of the kingdom of God and his own ministry as the center of God's saving action in history.

At the moment when Jesus entered the realm of redemptive history, God's people and the hurting world needed no further promises or prophecies. The one thing they lacked was fulfillment—they needed the promised Messiah and his consummate kingdom to come. Noted theologian O. Palmer Robertson's three-volume Christ of the Consummation explores progressive revelation across the redemptive history of the New Testament.

The Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, John - are four accounts of Jesus' life and teachings while on earth. But should we accept them as historically accurate? What evidence is there that the recorded events actually happened? Presenting a case for the historical reliability of the Gospels, New Testament scholar Peter Williams examines evidence from non-Christian sources, assesses how accurately the four biblical accounts reflect the cultural context of their day, compares different accounts of the same events, and more.

What if the very key to understanding God’s plan for humanity—the bridge between law, grace, and promise—has been sitting in plain sight, but the modern church has all but forgotten it? In a world of fragmented theologies and shifting doctrines, believers are left asking: How does God really relate to His people today? For centuries, covenant theology has served as the backbone of Christian understanding, yet many dismiss it as an outdated relic or confine it to dusty academic debates. But without covenant theology, grace becomes sentiment, law becomes crushing, and promise becomes ...
