Matthew D. Jensen

"The first letter of John is commonly understood to contain no reference to Jesus's resurrection. Matthew D. Jensen argues that, far from this being absent from the theology of 1 John, the opening verses contain a key reference to the resurrection which undergirds the rest of the text and is bolstered by other explicit references to the resurrection. The book goes on to suggest that the author and the readers of this epistle understand themselves to be the authentic Israel from which faithless Jews had apostatized when they denied that Jesus was 'the Christ' and left the community. Jensen's interpretation calls for a new understanding of the historical context in which 1 John was written, particularly the question of Jesus' identity from the perspective of his fellow Jews. An innovative and provocative study, of interest to scholars and advanced students of New Testament studies, Johannine theology and Jewish history"--

Mark Link

Discusses the evidence revealed by modern archaeological discoveries that supports the accuracy of the Old Testament in historical particulars. THESE STONES WILL SHOUT tries to present the Jewish Scriptures in a way that not only remains faithful to them, but in a way, also, that relates them to what people today are doing and thinking. More importantly, it tries to present the Jewish Scriptures in a way that leads to a prayerful reflection of them. The author, Mark Link, says that his method and approach grew out of a classroom teaching situation.

Joseph Blenkinsopp

"This is a completely revised and expanded edition of a classic text. Drawing on recent work on legal and didactic material and including more literary interpretation, Blenkinsopp traces the course of two related key traditions--law and wisdom--throughout the history of Israel in the biblical period. He demonstrates their essential lines of continuity with classical Jewish thought and early Christian theology." -- Publisher's description.
