Daniel: An Introduction and Study Guide – Sovereignty, Human and Divine
Introducing students to the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament, Ernest Lucas examines the book’s structure and characteristics. He covers the latest in biblical scholarship, including historical and interpretive issues, and considers a range of scholarly approaches. Lucas shows how understanding of the book is enhanced by considering it in the context of Mesopotamian culture, literature, and religion. He also evaluates different arguments concerning the authorship, date, and provenance of the book.
In particular, the guide focuses on illuminating the book’s relationship to both the tradition of Hebrew prophecy and the later development of Jewish apocalyptic literature. It also highlights the importance of understanding the Book of Daniel as “resistance literature”, which intended to encourage faithful Jews to resist the pressures of conformity to the pagan culture in which they lived, and to endure through persecution if necessary.
With suggestions of further reading at the end of each chapter, this guide will be an essential accompaniment to study of the Book of Daniel.

Disciple Mentoring: Theological Education by Extension
All over the world, churches are being pastored and led by people who have not been trained in traditional seminaries. For many, distance, family, finances, and a myriad of other practicalities make it impossible for them to be a part of the religious educational system. Theological Education by Extension (TEE) seeks to educate those who are already serving in the local church. Instead of confining students to a rigid system that takes them away from their families, ministries, and lives. TEE comes to where the students are allowing them more immediate access to biblical studies and theological training. Disciple Mentoring sets forth a historic overview of TEE, provides foundational steps for laying out a TEE program, and also gives an updated report on TEE for the new millennium.

Qoheleth is one of the most challenging and intriguing of the biblical authors. Above all, he is attentive to life’s realities, neither optimistic about the world nor unappreciative of its goodness and pleasures.

Ephesians: An Introduction and Study Guide – Being a Christian, at Home and in the Cosmos
In this guide Stephen E. Fowl introduces students to both theological fruit and critical issues of the letter to the Ephesians.
On the theological front, Fowl shows how Ephesians offers an unparalleled cosmic vision of the significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus, of the role of heavenly powers in the universe, and of how the community of Christians is to engage with those powers. Fowl also opens up the major identity questions Ephesians shows existed for early Christians: how to conceive the relationship of Gentiles with the Jews from among whom their faith emerged, and how to live as a Christian within households ordered on patriarchal lines while not capitulating to patriarchy.
On the critical front, Fowl provides an introduction to the key critical questions and issues, such as whether this letter was actually written to a church in Ephesus, and whether Paul the apostle was indeed the author of the letter. Yet, whilst there are demanding linguistic, historical and cultural questions to be answered, Fowl is careful to point out that this should not be done at the expense of reading the text closely and appreciating its meaning and message.
Ephesians: International Critical Commentary
For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis – linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological-with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series.
No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought. The first paperback editions to be published cover the heart of the New Testament, providing a wealth of information and research in accessible and attractive format.
Ecclesiastes 1-5: International Critical Commentary

Stuart Weeks incorporates new evidence available in the field, surveys the wealth of secondary literature and provides an extensive introduction to Ecclesiastes as a whole.
