For many people, skeptics and believers alike, the Old Testament is rife with controversial passages and events that make both belief and sharing our beliefs with others difficult. Often our solutions have tended toward the extremes—ignore problem passages and pretend they don't matter or obsess over them and treat them as though they are the only thing that matters. Now with clarity of purpose and fidelity to the message and spirit of Scripture as a whole, Tremper Longman confronts pressing questions of concern to modern audiences.

Beale summarizes and expands on that work with an eye to fleshing out the theological implications of the resurrection and ascension.

Renowned critic and translator Robert Alter’s The Art of Biblical Narrative has radically expanded our view of the Bible by recasting it as a work of literary art deserving studied criticism. In this seminal work, Alter describes how the Hebrew Bible’s many authors used innovative literary styles and devices such as parallelism, contrastive dialogue, and narrative tempo to tell one of the most revolutionary stories of all time: the revelation of a single God.

The first three Gospels describe events, but the fourth Gospel describes the significance behind those events. Through miracles, parables, and relationships, Jesus shows how He is the fulfillment of God's promises of old.

The Song of Songs is the tender tale about a monarch and a maiden, a king and his captivating bride. It tells the story of the two lovers that inspired the greatest love song ever written. Viewed by some as a rather obscure book of the Bible, with eyes to see, it is perhaps the most profound book in all of Scripture that reveals the passionate, intimate, and jealous love that God has for his people. As such, it is a book to be savored, meditated upon, and experienced, because intimacy with God can be discovered individually only through life-changing, personal, one-on-one encounters with Him.
