This commentary features a new translation of Jonah as well as an introduction outlining the major interpretive issues in the text. The introduction traces the composition history of the book, paying special attention to the psalm in the second chapter; and the authors explore new theories surrounding the time and place where Jonah delivers his message to Nineveh, as well as the city’s act of repentance. In addition to these features, this volume draws on a variety of critical approaches to biblical literature—including affect theory, animal studies, performance criticism, postcolonial criticism, psychological criticism, spatial theory, and trauma theory—to reveal the book’s many interpretive possibilities. An updated treatment of Jonah’s reception history includes analyses of the story in religious traditions, art and literature, and popular culture.

Worship and the Hebrew Bible: Essays in Honor of John T. Willis was created to commemorate the 65th birthday of theologian and professor John T. Willis, and is compiled of essays by sixteen of his former students and colleagues. Willis touched the lives of hundreds of students to whom he has imparted biblical wisdom, impressing upon all his great love and enthusiasm for Old Testament scholarship. As Willis researched thoroughly the nuances of ritual worship in the Old Testament, this essay collection in honor of him brings together sixteen studies on the matter, from many well-versed Old Testament Scholars.

There is an element of detective work to biblical scholarship that entails sniffing out and interpreting clues that often escape the notice of readers. John Kaltner and Steven L. McKenzie introduce the art of sleuthing the Bible, providing the necessary training to hunt for clues and piece them together to understand the larger picture. Sleuthing the Bible helps answer questions that occur during thoughtful examination of the Bible and provides exercises enabling readers to work through biblical passages on their own. Kaltner and McKenzie analyze two kinds of clues: (1) Smoking Guns— those that are obvious upon any close reading of biblical texts, and (2) Dusting for Prints—those that are more subtle or hidden from nonspecialists because of their unfamiliarity with the languages, culture, and larger content of the Bible.

In this unique collection, you get Logos edition exegetical commentaries from two excellent series: International Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament (IECOT) and The New International Greek Testament Commentary (NIGTC) IECOT offers a multi-perspectival interpretation of the books of the Old Testament to a broad, international audience of scholars, laypeople and pastors. Biblical commentaries too often reflect the fragmented character of contemporary biblical scholarship, where different geographical or methodological sub-groups of scholars pursue specific methodologies and theories with little engagement of alternative approaches. This series, published in English and German editions, brings together editors and authors from North America, Europe, and Israel with multiple exegetical perspectives. The NIGTC series is established on the presupposition that the theological character of the New Testament documents calls for exegesis that is sensitive to theological...

Israel’s history is—to a large degree—the world’s history, because the people and events in the history of Israel and the texts which describe them have reached to the far corners of the world. Yet the history of Israel remains under-studied, under-appreciated, and often controversial. Who were the Israelites, and what kind of world did they inhabit? The 19-volume History of Israel Collection brings together the most important scholarly works on Israel’s history. This collection contains the contributions of 90 scholars—biblical scholars, historians, archaeologists, and sociologists—in both edited volumes and book-length monographs.

This fresh introduction to the Old Testament historical books explains the primary features of this literary genre and describes the books' relationship to history. Biblical scholar Steven McKenzie discusses the larger units of the Bible that the books belong to–the "Deuteronomistic History" and the "Chronicler's History–and surveys the critical methods that scholars use to study them. These introductory matters are followed by a chapter on each of the Historical Books—Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, and Ezra-Nehemiah. Each of these chapters contains a detailed outline of the book’s contents and a thorough discussion of the issues peculiar to that book— its text, composition, relationship to history, special literary features, and theology.

Studies in 1 & 2 Chronicles (11 Vols.) brings to light the different aspects of Chronicles such as the idea of restoration, how the development of the Near Eastern ideologies had an impact on monarchical ideologies and the relationships between the kings and the cultus of Jerusalem.

This volume makes use of diverse methods and approaches to offer fresh treatments of 1 Kings 16 - 2 Kings 16 both synchronically and diachronically. Among its major contributions are a detailed text-critical analysis that frequently adopts readings of the Old Greek and Old Latin and, at the same time, a reexamination of the variant chronologies for the kings of Israel and Judah that argues for the priority of the one in the Masoretic Text. The book presents a new theory of the compositional history of these chapters that ascribes them mostly to the hand of a postexilic “Prophetic Narrator” who reworked older legenda, especially about Elisha, and effectively shaped Kings into the work we have today.

Der Kommentar bedient sich unterschiedlicher Zugänge und Methoden zur Erschließung des Mittelteils der Königebücher. Diese erscheinen dabei in neuem Licht, und zwar sowohl in diachroner wie in synchroner Hinsicht. Grundlegend ist eine detaillierte Textkritik, die häufig Lesarten aus der Septuaginta und der Vetus Latina denen aus der hebräischen Tradition vorzieht. Dies wiederum hat Folgen für die Chronologie der Könige von Israel und Juda. Zudem wird eine neue Theorie zur Entstehungs- und Kompositionsgeschichte dieses Teils der Königebücher entwickelt: Er verdankt sich großenteils einem nachexilischen "prophetischen Erzähler", der freilich auf ältere Legenden, namentlich über Elischa, zurückgriff und der Gesamtdarstellung die Gestalt gab, die sie heute hat.
