Beale’s commentary on Colossians and Philemon in the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series is a masterful work of biblical scholarship that combines rigorous exegesis with accessible insights for both scholars and laypeople. This volume stands out as a comprehensive and... Read more

Dempster’s “The Return of the Kingdom” is a compelling exploration of the biblical narrative’s central theme: God’s kingship and the restoration of His kingdom. This volume, part of IVP Academic’s Essential Studies in Biblical Theology series, offers a comprehensive yet accessible examination of how the... Read more
