Last year, Prof Diarmaid MacCulloch, who serves as Professor of the History of the Church at Oxford, gave the Gifford Lectures. Prof MacCulloch is an excellent historian who has written important books on the Reformation and the history of Christianity. Check them out!
Baylor Press is scheduled to publish two new volumes in their BHGNT series later this summer. James (A. K. M. Adam) and Colossians (Con Campbell) should hit the shelves this July and August. This is a fantastic series, and one every student of the Greek New Testament should have on their bookshelf.
It looks like the replacement volume(s) for Hebrews in the ICC has a Nov 2013 publication date. This is great news for all us Hebrews scholars and students. The Moffatt edition was an excellent commentary, but it has long been in need of a replacement.
Le premier contact avec l’Épître aux Hébreux est rebutant. De toute la collection des écrits néo-testamentaires, en effect, cette lettre est, avec l’Apocalypse, la plus éloignée au point de vue littéraire de notre mentalité occidentale et moderne.
L’Épitre aux Hébreux (vol. 1): 1.
The OT is the “bone and marrow” of Hebrews. From beginning to end this book is an expository “sermon” that rests on careful OT interpretation. The pastor quotes the OT, alludes to the OT, summarizes OT passages, recounts events from the lives of OT persons, and often echoes the idiom of the Greek OT.
(NICNT, 41)
The kind folks over at IVP Academic sent along a review copy of Scot McKnight and Joseph Modica’s Jesus is Lord, Caesar is Not: Evaluating Empire in New Testament Studies. It looks to be a fantastic read! You can check out the TOC here. I will post a review as soon as I finish reading it.
Here is my review of William Baird’s excellent History of New Testament Research (Vol. 3). Thank again to Fortress for this review copy.
