The book of Proverbs is a book written for people like us: parents, children, friends, and coworker. It is a collection of sayings and biblical wisdom intended to help us with the practical matters of our lives. Inside we find the wise and the foolish, and instructions for the journey to find the wisdom that only comes from God. How to Read Proverbs explores the context, language, and interpretation of the book of Proverbs. Each chapter covers well-known verses and examines the predominant themes throughout the book.

Engaging the Old Testament an introductory textbook that invites students into the depths and riches of the Old Testament and shows the Old Testament’s relevance for Christian readers. Rising Latino evangelical Old Testament scholar Dominick Hernández demonstrates how to read Old Testament texts well and put the ancient written word into practice in our day and age. Hernández shows that four core commitments put readers on the right trajectory for reading and applying the Old Testament to their lives: reading humbly, reading successively, reading entirely, and reading deliberately. Students will learn how to become better readers of the text and how to read select Old Testament passages well, paying attention to how the biblical authors used rhetorical techniques to provoke readers to action.
El problema del mal, del sufrimiento de los inocentes, ha atormentado a los teólogos durante milenios. Sin embargo, la prosperidad de los malvados, aunque menos destacada, causaba gran angustia a figuras bíblicas como Jeremías, y es un tema importante en los diálogos entre Job y sus compañeros. El profesor Hernández ofrece un tratamiento exhaustivo de este tema, haciendo un uso experto de la filología, el análisis literario y temático, y la comparación con textos del antiguo Oriente Próximo. Este libro debería convertirse en un estándar, de interés para los estudiantes de la Biblia en general y de Job en particular.

Rising Latino evangelical Old Testament scholar Dominick Hernández demonstrates how to read Old Testament texts well and put the ancient written word into practice in our day and age.

Does Job convincingly argue against a fixed system of just retribution by proclaiming the prosperity of the wicked-an assertion that distinctly runs contrary to traditional biblical and ancient Near Eastern wisdom? This study addresses this question, giving careful consideration to the rhetoric, imagery, and literary devices used to treat the issue of the fate of the wicked in Job’s first two rounds of dialogue, where the topic is predominantly disputed. The analysis will glean from related biblical and non-biblical texts to illustrate that Job specifically counters five recurring arguments of his friends’ speeches that are based upon traditional wisdom.
Illustrated Job in Hebrew belongs to the series GlossaHouse Illustrated Biblical Texts (GIBT) that presents the books of the Bible in their original languages, embedded scene by scene in the context of Keith Neely’s evocative, full-color illustrations. These innovative resources will accelerate your comprehension by helping you distinguish narrative from dialogue at a glance. The illustrations provide visual cues for action, tension, and emotion, inviting an immersive reading experience in the ancient languages. While the books are supported by an original English translation on each page, the graphic approach of the GIBT series pushes against a tendency in biblical language learning to make translation the end goal.
The book of Proverbs is a book written for people like us—parents, children, friends, and coworkers.

Proverbs: Pathways to Wisdom explores the context, language, and interpretation of the book of Proverbs. Each chapter covers well known verses and examines prevalent themes throughout the book.

‘If the success of a man is measured by the impact he has on later generations, then all of the prophets were highly successful . . . They still speak as God’s mouthpieces to all people everywhere.’ Joel, Obadiah, and Micah preached to plugged ears and hearts of stone. Their message, however, was clear: God’s judgment is real. Studied extensively throughout the New Testament period until the present day, these books remain relevant to readers. Thomas J. Finley examines the short but important texts of these prophets in this thorough, verse-by-verse exploration. This volume contains each book’s historical setting, literary characteristics, a profile of the prophet, and the message for today.
The Psalms teach us how to pray. Many saints over the past three millennia have come near to God by praying the Psalms, and this volume introduces us to some of their greatest thoughts on them. Covering all 150 psalms, this companion to the “Prayerbook of the Bible” contains key devotional readings from the Great Tradition as well as space for journaling our own prayers. This book will help us learn to pray as Jesus prayed—after all, He quoted from the Psalms more often than any other book.
Daniel is a book intended to be read thoroughly from beginning to end. The final verse (12:13) promises a restoration of what was lost in the first two verses (1:1–2). Between these bookends, with artistic flare, historical accuracy, and apocalyptic hope, Daniel encourages readers that God was, is, and always will be in control. The book’s portrayal of God, its rich theology, and its contribution to the spiritual formation of God’s people influenced Jesus, the New Testament writers, and the early church, and it deserves a place of prominence in the church today. With substantive exegesis, clear exposition, and relevant teaching outlines, Interpreting Daniel for Preaching and Teaching helps preachers and teachers to unpack Daniel’s significance for the church today.
