| 978-1-60724-322-9 | Anderson, William. Scepticism and Ironic Correlations in the Joy Statements of Qoheleth?
Contrary to “popular belief”, the Book of Ecclesiastes (Qoheleth) is not a “book of joy”. Anderson closely examines the seven “joy statements” of Qoheleth which appear to be complex ironies—whereby what is said is both meant and not meant. Consequently Qoheleth still leaves the reader guessing about the meaning of life. More... | $142.50 | Add to Cart |

| 978-1-60724-028-0 | Modine, Mitchel. The Dialogues of Jeremiah

| 978-1-60724-057-0 | Mitchell, Matthew. Abortion and the Apostolate

| 978-1-60724-568-1 | Graves, David. The Seven Messages of Revelation and Vassal Treaties
This book argues that the genre of the seven messages in Revelation 2–3 is a hybrid prophetic oracle. This oracle is influenced by the Old Testament covenantal elements functioning as a set of lawsuit exhortations. Graves defends this by demonstrating the influence of the Ancient Near Eastern vassal treaty structure in the seven messages. Written in a readable format this work is both an excellent introduction to the book of Revelation as well as a fitting work for the apocalyptic specialist. More... | $171.25 | Add to Cart |

| 978-1-59333-432-1 | Edwards, Timothy. Exegesis in the Targum of Psalms: The Old, the New, and the Rewritten
The Old, the New and the Rewritten illustrates how Targum Psalms creatively interprets selected psalms and how those interpretations relate to other Jewish and Christian traditions, including early translations of the psalms, rabbinic Midrashim, the New Testament and early Church Fathers. The study of these Psalms suggests viewing Targum Psalms as a creative partner in the world of biblical interpretation, as opposed to a compilation of already existing midrashic material. Edwards portrays the Targum as a link between the written and oral Torah that leads its readers on a path to tradition. More... | $102.00 | Add to Cart |

| 978-1-60724-342-7 | Stone, Lawson. From Tribal Confederation to Monarchic State
Combining diachronic redaction-critical analysis with synchronic literary sensibilities, Stone reassesses the entire tradition history and literary structure of the book of Judges, employing a revitalized approach to redaction-critical analysis informed by studies of ancient Near Eastern editorial and literary practice. The result is an interpretation of the book of Judges that is both historical-developmental and thematically coherent. More... | $218.75 | Add to Cart |
