Deuteronomy (Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible)
Praise for previous volumes in the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible"[Peter] Leithart's work [in1 & 2 Kingsis] stimulating in its unabashedly theological interpretive stance. Such a starting point for the exegetical task inquires differently of the text and renders fresh applications and observations. The two disciplines of biblical and theological studies can only benefit from cross-disciplinary engagement and, certainly, Leithart demonstrates that both disciplines can be used critically and in service of the Church."--Lissa M. Wray Beal,Toronto Journal of Theology"[Jaroslav] Pelikan launches a potentially significant commentary series [withActs]. . . . Pelikan's volume robustly demonstrates what reading enlivened by tradition and dogma can look like. It is a timely invitation to the church and the academy to question both the artificially erected barriers between doctrine and scripture and the anxiously maintained gaps between 'then' and 'now.'"--Angus Paddison,International Journal of Systematic Theology"The value of [Matthew] is its bringing Matthew into unity with the rest of the biblical witness to the Gospel as that witness has been expounded by the church. The soundness of the commentary lies in [Stanley] Hauerwas's own theology having been honed by the church. . . . This Brazos series can play an important role in reminding one of the community's indispensable role in understanding the Bible, and Hauerwas's contribution to the series is a formidable one indeed!"--Gene L. Davenport,Catholic Biblical Quarterly"All will appreciate the conviction, clarity, and profundity with which [Stanley Hauerwas] writes. . . . Anyone wishing to become acquainted with theological exegesis should consider [Matthew]. Hauerwas offers a fresh perspective on Matthew that is aberrantly insightful, colorful, compelling, and powerful. Well-written, fast-paced, and accessible to laity, Hauerwas delivers thoughtful and thought-provoking conversation."--Thomas Seat,Princeton Theological Review
