A Companion to Augustine, edited by Mark Vessey

October 5, 2015
Todd Scacewater

Augustine is arguably the most important Christian theologian outside of the biblical authors. Many different theological camps claim Augustine for their theological positions. The Confessions makes him a very personal historical figure. Because of the massive weight of Augustine’s historical character it is essential that we understand Augustine in his historical context as well as his social context. That is the purpose for which this companion has been written….

New American Commentaries $3 Each!

September 30, 2015
Todd Scacewater

The New American Commentaries are useful volumes. The authors have worked quite deeply with the original languages, the history, and secondary literature, but they keep the exposition pretty clear of the technical details. They try to follow the flow of thought and make clear the message and theology of the passage. It is obvious, as you read them, that the authors are familiar with the deeper issues involved, but these commentaries are aimed more at students and pastors who need a clear exposition of the passage as they prepare to write papers or preach sermons on the text.

I hope you have a ball buying up all these volumes at a crazy low price of just $3 each!

Endangered Languages: An Introduction, by Sarah Thomason

September 28, 2015
Todd Scacewater

“According to most experts’ estimates, at least half of the world’s seven thousand languages will vanish before the end of this century” (2). What an amazing statistic! Those of us interested in biblical languages have felt the sting of this statistic recently, as we heard news about the last of native Aramaic speakers dying out. What is it that leads to language “death,” and how can languages be revitalized? Or should they be? The purpose of this book is “to introduce the general topic of language endangerment…and to describe some methods designed to prevent endangerment from leading to the disappearance of a threatened language” (2)….

Advances in the Study of Greek: New Insights for Reading the New Testament, by Constantine R. Campbell

September 20, 2015
Dean Chia

I bought this book because I was interested in learning more about tense and aspect theory. It ended up being much more than just that. Advances in the Study of Greek: New Insights for Reading the New Testament by Constantine R. Campbell is a monumental book written to help pastors and other Greek New Testament exegetes apply advances in Koine (biblical) Greek scholarship to proper exegesis for the benefit of the church (albeit not exclusively so)….

The Historical Jesus: An Essential Guide, by James Charlesworth

September 14, 2015
Todd Scacewater

Who was Jesus of Nazareth, and what can we know about him? Do the Gospels preserve any genuine traditions about Jesus? Was he a historical figure at all? Many people ask these questions, and many scholars try to answer them. The historical figure of Jesus is an elusive one for most scholars, who find him to be quite different from the “Christ of faith,” a distinction prominent since Martin Kähler’s The So-Called Historical Jesus and the Historic, Biblical Christ (1892)….
