2 Bibe & Interpretation 1 2 Thessaonians Jeffrey A. D. Weima New Reease Baker Exegetica Commentary on the New Testament Robert W. Yarbrough and Robert H. Stein, series editors In this addition to the criticay accaimed BECNT series, respected New Testament schoar and Thessaonians expert Jeffrey Weima offers pastors, students, and teachers the most up-to-date and substantive commentary avaiabe on 1 2 Thessaonians. Endorsements Weima has written a fu and authoritative commentary on 1 and 2 Thessaonians that readers wi want to consut reguary and frequenty. He brings a weath of previous research to bear upon his exegesis. The resut is we-considered and thoughtfu positions at amost every juncture. One of the most appeaing features of the commentary is Weima s interpretation within the context of ancient epistoary structure, rather than the a-too-frequenty-used rhetorica anaysis. Weima sets the stage for his exegesis and exposition of each section by aying out the iterary character and shape of the unit to be discussed. He aso provides a detaied and hepfu introduction to the commentary that emphasizes the historica background of these etters. Weima shows awareness of the current debate on a wide range of issues in Thessaonians research, whie aso aby defending traditiona positions regarding authorship, interpretation, and even text-critica matters. I am sure that this commentary wi be widey used. Staney E. Porter, McMaster Divinity Coege, Hamiton, Ontario Aready an acknowedged expert on the Thessaonian Letters, Weima offers feow Christians a cear and erudite interpretation. This exegetica commentary now stands among the authoritative works on 1 and 2 Thessaonians. L. Ann Jervis, Wyciffe Coege, University of Toronto Is it possibe for a commentary to be both technica and accessibe, comprehensive and concise, academic and pastora? Weima has produced precisey such a commentary on the Thessaonian Letters. One woud be hard-pressed to find a fu-ength, up-to-date treatment of these etters that offers more than Weima s.

3 Bibe & Interpretation New Reease A New Heaven and a New Earth Recaiming Bibica Eschatoogy J. Richard Middeton Richard Middeton punges body into a most-treasured misreading of the Bibe. When his book catches on, it wi have an immense impact on the way in which we think and act about our common future in the gospe, a common future with important socioeconomic, poitica derivatives. Water Brueggemann, Coumbia Theoogica Seminary It is no sma irony that the majority of serious, Bibe-beieving Christians subscribe to a view of ife in the eschaton that is fundamentay unbibica. Middeton provides a much-needed corrective in his perceptive exposition of hoistic eschatoogy, which effectivey unites the Od and New Testaments in stressing God s commitment to the fourishing of the created universe of which we are a part. This book is so comprehensive, so exegeticay based and theoogicay rich, that it coud serve admiraby as a basic textbook on bibica theoogy. I cannot recommend it highy enough. Donad A.

4 Bibe & Interpretation Defending Substitution An Essay on Atonement in Pau Simon Gathercoe New Reease Acadia Studies in Bibe and Theoogy Craig A. Evans and Lee Martin McDonad, series editors In recent decades, the church and academy have witnessed intense debates concerning the concept of pena substitution to describe Christ s atoning sacrifice. A number of theoogians, New Testament schoars, and authors of popuar Christian iterature have raised issue with the concept, caiming that it promotes boody vioence, gorifies suffering and death, and inevitaby amounts to divine chid abuse. On the other hand, others have defended pena substitution, arguing that the concept pays a pivota roe in cassica Christian doctrine. In this voume, word-renowned New Testament schoar Simon Gathercoe offers an exegetica and historica defense of the traditiona substitutionary view of the atonement. Gathercoe provides critica anayses of various interpretations of the atonement and paces New Testament teaching in its Od Testament and Greco-Roman contexts, demonstrating that the interpretation of atonement in the Pauine corpus must incude the concept of pena substitution. Professors and students of New Testament and eary Christianity, the history of Christian doctrine, and contemporary systematic theoogy wi vaue this work.

5 Bibe & Interpretation New Reease The Church according to Pau Rediscovering the Community Conformed to Christ James W. Thompson Aways with one foot panted firmy in the academy and the other in the church, James Thompson has given us a highy insightfu, theoogicay rich, and timey study of the aposte Pau s view of the church one of the best Pauine eccesioogies in print. Thompson argues compeingy that Pau s first-century vision of the church as a distinctive community speaks ceary to the twenty-first century. This exceent voume shoud be studied not ony by students of Pau but aso by a who are (righty) concerned about the identity and mission of the church today. Michae J. Gorman, St. Mary s Seminary & University, Batimore The Church according to Pau is as chaenging as it is cever. It is cever because Thompson takes contemporary visions of the church and repaces the anguage of their proponents with Pau s own anguage, thereby upturning today s categories. It is chaenging because it virtuay dares those who are concerned with the state of the church today to rethink the church according to the mind of Pau. A in a, a usefu and quite vauabe read for anyone interested in either the church or the Bibe, perhaps even both. Raymond F. Coins, Brown University September pp. paper $ Pauine Studies, Eccesioogy James W. Thompson (PhD, Vanderbit University) is schoar in residence at the Graduate Schoo of Theoogy at Abiene Christian University. He is the editor of Restoration Quartery and the author of numerous books, incuding Pastora Ministry according to Pau, Mora Formation according to Pau, Preaching ike Pau, and Hebrews in Paideia: Commentaries on the New Testament. Diagnoses of the church s probems and prescriptions for its fourishing abound. As James Thompson wisey observes, however, most contemporary discussion of the church shows itte evidence of engagement with the etters of Pau. In this carefu voume, Thompson studies the church in Pau s words and his work, in the hope that Pau s rich wisdom might have its rightfu pace in contemporary Christian refection. Bevery Roberts Gaventa, Bayor University In this stunning and much-needed study of Pauine eccesioogy, Thompson offers far more than carefu historica schoarship concerning the aposte s understanding of church. Whie his anaysis provides a first-cass treatment of Pau s etters as first-century documents, he aso rediscovers ideas that speak to the contemporary church about its mission and identity in the twenty-first century. The resut of Thompson s work is that rare earned book that is grounded in sure-footed and carefu bibica schoarship yet speaks powerfuy to the church today about its roe and outreach to modern society. A scintiating achievement that is vita for the church as it seeks to understand its continuing roe in the wider secuar cuture.

6 Bibe & Interpretation Engaging the Christian Scriptures An Introduction to the Bibe Andrew E. Arterbury, W. H. Beinger Jr., and Derek S. Dodson This team of schoars has put together an exceent text for a course covering both Od and New Testaments. Their bibica books summaries give a favor for each book s contents and the word that infuenced the bibica writers. Of particuar importance to students is the carefu treatment of sometimes controversia materias as the authors demonstrate a moderate and thoughtfu consideration of different viewpoints. Victor H. Matthews, Missouri State University New Reease Excerpt We intend for this voume to serve as an introductory textbook to the Christian Scriptures for students who are engaging in an informed reading of the Bibe within an academic setting. Because we beieve the bibica texts shoud function as the primary texts in such a setting, we have crafted this textbook to function as a suppementa resource. For exampe, we have focused our readers attention on the prevaiing conversations and eading opinions within the fied of bibica studies on most subjects. In other words, we have not attempted to provide exhaustive descriptions of every academic conversation about the Bibe, but rather we have strived to introduce the most important conversations for students who are encountering the fied of bibica studies for the first time. In the process, we have intentionay created a manageabe, accessibe, and affordabe textbook that aims first and foremost to benefit students rather than their professors. Methodoogicay, we have empoyed a contextua approach to the Christian Scriptures, giving attention to historica, iterary, and theoogica contexts. Rather than teing students about the Bibe, we aim to hep students become educated readers of the Bibe. Furthermore, whie introducing critica perspectives and approaches, we have simutaneousy attempted to highight and to underscore the theoogica caims found within the Christian Scriptures rather than to critique or to deconstruct those caims. Consequenty, our tite refects our aim. We hope beginning students wi engage the Christian Scriptures. Ideay, this textbook wi function as the suppementa resource that empowers students to do just that.
