Every year I find one publisher to be at the top of the list for the best new books, so here is my rating for this year:
\nI\u2019m biased: I must say Paraclete did a great job this year. And Zondervan had some good books \u2014 but I had already purchased them. (But, as I said, I\u2019m biased.)
\nThe academic publishers this year shook out like this for me, and I mention these in the order in which these publishers had books that appealed to me.
\n1. Eerdmans: many, many new good books; solid scholarship; innovative ideas.
\n2. InterVarsity Press: well above last year\u2019s offerings; variety and excellence.
\n3. BakerAcademic\/Brazos: whether it is Rodney Clapp or not, an innovative publisher.
\n4. Baylor University Press: a publisher on the rise; Carey Newman\u2019s one of the best.
\n5. Fortress\/WJKP\/Abingdon: good books, but not enough creative offerings.
\n6. Hendrickson: maybe #5. A few very good selections.
\n7. HarperSanFrancisco: 3-4 important offerings (Borg, Levine, Bass).
\nBooks of the Year:
\nR. Jewett, Romans <\/em>(Hermeneia)
\nChris Wright, Mission of God <\/em>(IVP)
\nM. Volf, The End of Memory<\/em> (Eerdmans)
\nR. Bauckham, Jesus and the Eyewitnesses <\/em>(Eerdmans)
\nC. Evans, Fabricating Jesus<\/em> (IVP)<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
