Biblical and broadly accessible, this volume helps to makes sense of one of the Bible’s most difficult topics. Eckhard Schnabel answers common questions about the return of Christ, the millennium, the final judgment, the rapture, heaven, hell, and the future of the world. Schnabel carefully studies the biblical text in light of its first-century context. The result is an even-handed treatment that avoids sensationalism.

With attention to issues that continue to surface in today’s church, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series offers pastors, students, and teachers a focused resource for reading, teaching, and preaching the book of Acts. This volume won the Christian Book Award for best Bible Reference of 2013 for its valuable insights and thorough commentary. Acts highlights the work of God through Jesus as he grants the presence of the holy spirit, the significane of Jesus as Messiah and savior of the world, the work of the Holy Spirit as a transforming power present in the lives of followers of Jesus, the church as the community of God, the mission of the church, and the historical events and people who played a role in the expansion of early Christianity. Acts by Eckhard J. Schnabel is the highest caliber of modern scholarly studies on Acts.

Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old and New Testament brings together commentary features rarely gathered together in one volume. With careful discourse analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew and Greek text, the authors trace the flow of argument in each Bible book, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say. The aim of the series is not to review and critique every possible interpretation of a passage, but rather to exegete each passage of Scripture succinctly in its grammatical and historical context. Each passage is interpreted in the light of its biblical setting with attention to grammatical detail, literary context, flow of biblical argument, and historical setting. These texts are written primarily for pastors and Bible teachers, but the attention to contemporary issues in the church makes it a focused resource for anyone teaching, preaching, or studying these passages....

The IVP Pauline Studies Collection brings together 12 important volumes of recent Pauline literature, providing in-depth focus on his life, letters, missionary work, and theology. It contains contributions from today’s top Pauline scholars, including Ben Witherington III, N. T. Wright, and Frank Thielman. These works analyze the cultural milieu, rhetorical strategies, and the deep layers of the Hebraic prophetic tradition informing Paul’s writings. It provides differing opinions on Paul’s doctrine of justification. Numerous works shine light on the “New Perspective on Paul” conversation. And several works provide the framework for better understanding Paul’s world in the first century.

How is it that a first-generation Jewish messianic movement undertook a mission to the pagan world and rapidly achieved a momentum that would have a lasting and significant impact on world history? This momentous question has surprisingly eluded the concentrated focus of historians and New Testament scholars. Perhaps it is because the story of early Christian mission encompasses so much of the history of early Christianity. And to tell that history is to traverse a broad spectrum of issues in contemporary New Testament studies, all of which have been investigated in specialized depth, though frequently unconnected to a unified picture. On the other hand, as Eckhard Schnabel comments, those who have attempted to paint “the portrait of early Christian missions” have “often painted with brush strokes too broad.” As a result, an “undifferentiated picture of early Christian mission” is widely held.

Mark wrote his Gospel to explain why and how Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God who fulfills God’s promises as he proclaims and embodies the coming kingdom of God. Mark emphasizes Jesus’ authority and also his suffering and death as God’s will for his messianic mission.

Schnabel’s volume replaces the previous commentary from R. Alan Cole.

Authors such as Darrell Bock, Tom Schreiner, and Daniel Wallace provide masterful studies on the text of the Bible and Christian theology. This collection includes resources covering Old and New Testament studies, ministry, and biblical and systematic theology.

While many New Testament theologies approach the material through a particular thematic construct, Schnabel takes a different approach. First, he focuses on Jesus Messiah and his significance for the early church. Second, he seeks to describe the theology of the New Testament as it was written and read in its historical context. This approach honors the fact that the authors and original readers of the New Testament were real people dealing with real issues in their specific ecclesiological, cultural, and missiological settings. Schnabel comprehensively combines a historical description of the New Testament’s theology with a systematic reflection on the New Testament’s message and the convictions of Jesus and his early followers.

Each volume provides an exegetical outline with verse-by-verse commentary, designed to offer the most thorough examination of the text and themes of Scripture. The aim of the series is not to review and critique every possible interpretation of a passage, but rather to exegete each passage of Scripture succinctly in its grammatical and historical context. Each passage is interpreted in the light of its biblical setting with attention to grammatical detail, literary context, flow of biblical argument, and historical setting. These texts are written primarily for pastors and Bible teachers, but its attention to contemporary issues in the church makes it a focused resource for anyone teaching, preaching, or studying these passages.

It is a generally acknowledged fact both among Old Testament scholars and New Testament scholars, as well as among experts in the literature of early and later Judaism, that the correlation of law and wisdom is of paramount importance for Jewish and Christian theology and ethics. It is therefore all the more surprising that this correlation has never been the subject of a major monograph. The present study was written to fill this apparent gap and to make a contribution to the investigation of the theology of early Judaism and early Christianity, focusing on the correlation of law and wisdom in Ben Sira, in other early Jewish documents including Qumran, and in the thinking of Paul the Apostle.

Jesus und die Apostel sprachen über die Auferstehung von den Toten, das jüngste Gericht und Gottes neue Welt. Dabei bedienten sie sich einer für uns heute nicht immer leicht zugänglichen Sprache und Bilderwelt: Wie sind die Aussagen des Neuen Testaments über die Entrückung, die „144.000“, über Harmageddon und Himmel und Hölle zu verstehen? Eckhard Schnabel liest diese Texte mit dem Ziel, sie so zu verstehen, wie ihre ersten Leser sie verstanden haben. Er vermeidet deshalb bewusst die üblichen Modelle der „Endzeitspezialisten“. Gründlich und tiefgehend, und doch leicht verständlich und praktisch untersucht er die biblischen Texte sorgfältig. Dabei bewegt er sich vorsichtig von den unumstrittenen großen Linien biblischer Zukunftsaussagen hin zu den umstrittenen Einzelheiten.

Although the 500th anniversary celebration of the Reformation of 1517 is over, ministry in the church continues. In having looked to the past, we now focus on the present to see how the church can move forward with this strong historical base. Particularly, how do the solas of the Reformation apply as we look at Scripture and work within the church to nurture the laity in their practice of faith?
