Matthew: The Book of Mercy Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have enjoyed all of Megan McKenna's books and this one did not disappooint me. I especially enjoy the stories that are intertwined with the commentary to give us examples and illustrations.

Parlour Games for Modern Families Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was sorely disappointed to find that the publishers of this Kindle edition completely ignored the value of a linked table of contents in a digital book. For whatever reason, they ignored the idea that browsing an ebook requires that kind of navigation. Whereas in a print book, one might flip through...

Jesus the Teacher: A Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation of Mark Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Of the dozens of books published on Mark over the past 15 years, this has to be on anyone's "Top Ten" list.

Young Lords of Siyah Chan: A Novel of the Ancient Maya Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)With this, her third book (and second on the Ancient Maya), the author hits her stride as a storyteller.

Jesus' Attitude Towards the Law: A Study of the Gospels Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Bill did a great job explaining the the different evangelists'(Gospel Writers) concept of Torah\Law, including Q and even a reconstructed historical Jesus. It does not have anything to do with skihism, but putting that aside it is a great work.Click Here to see more reviews about: Jesus' Attitude Towards...

Encountering New Testament Manuscripts: A Working Introduction to Textual Criticism Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If your into textual criticism, definitly get Metzger and Aland's books (both named TEXT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT) before this one.Kind of a strange book, on one hand it give you very basic introductry info on textual criticism, then it dives into some very complex comparison/contrast of greek wording in...

Tempest & Exodus Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The sequel to Jesus: Last of the Pharoahs is more reasonable than the former. Mostly, because Ralph Ellis concentrates on one period of time only and takes more time to reason about this single issue. It is about the volcano's eruption on (Greek) Thera/Santorini playing catalyst for the religious strife...

The First Edition of the New Testament Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)You don't need to know New Testament Greek to follow Trobisch's arguments. Although an astute reader and clever interpreter of textual evidence, Trobisch spares us the usual myopia and nit picking textual critics like to heap upon their readers. He avoids discussions of authorial authenticity that so...

Jesus the Misunderstood Jew: What the New Testament Really Says about the Man from Nazareth Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Raised as a Christian who recently became a Jew by Choice and is teaching a Religious Belief and Disbelief course,I couldn't put this book down.

Dart and the Squirrels Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Nicole has written another charming book Dart and the Squirrels. Everyone will enjoy this book, but as a dog owner/lover myself, the book was especially enjoyable. Nicole has captured the frenetic, joyful nature of a dogs brain. It romps and plays throughout. Well done!Dart and the SquirrelsClick Here...
