Dr. Chris Miller’s New Matthew Commentary

December 17, 2024

Dr. Chris Miller’s recent commentary on Matthew is the first of a projected series on the entire NT. The fundamental values of this series are solid, and Miller’s initial volume is a fine example of Calvin’s “lucid brevity” model. The exegesis is enlightening, not mind-numbing, and the reflection is realistic, not fluffy. Take a look at this commentary!

Wendy Widder’s Daniel Commentaries

July 25, 2024

Daniel was written to encourage Israel during its exile in Babylon. That original message of encouragement still speaks powerfully to God’s pilgrim people today. Though they live in a different sort of exile, they still look forward to a city whose builder and maker is God (Heb 11:8-16). You will find no better guide to Daniel than Wendy Widder’s two volumes.

Kerux: John Harvey’s New Commentary on Acts

October 27, 2023

Let’s face it—it’s hard to preach Acts. It may be easy to throw together a sermon on a random text, like the one many of us have done on the marks of an authentic church from Acts 2:42-47. But where do you go from there? This book shows us a better way. I wish we had commentaries like this when I was a pastor.

Every Road Goes Somewhere: Wendy Widder’s latest book

March 27, 2023

Wendy’s story prods all of us—whatever our view of gender roles—to pursue our calling faithfully, just like Jesus did, all the way to the cross. He loved and gave himself for the whole church, not just the half that tends to run the show. At this time of the Christian year our hearts are drawn more that ever to the cross. Jesus didn’t back down from his calling, and, supported by the Word and the Spirit, so will we.

Jewish Roots: A New Book on the Gospels, and a Conversation with David Mishkin

June 24, 2022

You may have seen it on a bumper sticker, a tee-shirt, or a coffee mug—”My boss is a Jewish carpenter.” This catchy saying is an attempt to express the Jewish background of the Christian faith. The expression “Jewish roots” describes a relationship between Judaism and the church that involves so much more than the bland term “background”—roots are so much more than the background or setting of a tree. Roots are organically connected to the stem, branches, leaves, and seeds of any plant, and so it is with the church and the Jews. Both are rooted in the grace of God, expressed in biblical promises going back to Abraham in Genesis 12. Here’s a book that will help you understand your roots. Dig it?

Power in Weakness: A Conversation with Tim Gombis about Paul’s Vision for Ministry

April 6, 2021

In this post I preview Tim Gombis’s recent book Power in Weakness and link to a conversation I had with Tim about the book. It’s appropriate that we focus on this book during the Easter Season, when we commemorate the events that first transformed Paul’s vision for ministry. Paul encountered the risen and exalted Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus. There he began to understand cruciformity. Easter is never over. It’s the beginning, not the end.
