In the second of his invigorating studies on the Psalms, Goulder builds a fascinating case for a Davidic connection in Psalms 51-72. Goulder argues that the Prayers were composed by one of David's priests, and stand in their historical order. Thus, Psalm 51, with which the sequence opens, is in Jewish tradition David's psalm of contrition for Uriah's murder, and 72 is the psalm for Solomon's coronation-the beginning and end of the 'Succession Narrative'. 'The whole is prefaced by a shrewd and highly entertaining account of Psalm scholarship and a discussion of the character of the "succession narrative," and rounded off by a note suggesting how the present structure of the Psalter developed.' Richard Coggins, Expository Times.

His great contribution to theology, church, and culture will take generations to appropriate and assess. As the principal author of "The Barmen Declaration," he was the intellectual leader of the German Confessing Church, the Protestant group that resisted the Third Reich. Among Barth's many books, sermons and essays, the multivolume Church Dogmatics — a closely reasoned, eloquently stated argument in nearly ten thousand pages — stands out as the crown of his achievement.."... one of the most notable theological publications of our time."

Prayers of David: Psalms 51-72. Studies in the Psalter II (Journal for the Study of the New Testament)

Most of Paul's letters were written in the context of conflict with trouble-making opponents, but scholars disagree as to who those opponents were. Years ago F. C. Baur suggested that two competing missions--one headed by Paul, the other by James, Peter, and John--sent out a series of emissaries to win converts to the Christian faith. In Paul and the Competing Mission in Corinth Michael Goulder has examined Paul's conflict with the counter-missionaries, especially as reflected in the Corinthian Letters, and has put a new spin on Baur's theory. In this book, which is the culmination of decades of work, Goulder has painted a simple and convincing picture of the relationship between the mission of Paul and that of the counter-missionaries, whom he identifies as those evangelists sent by the "pillars" in Jerusalem. Goulder presents carefully assembled evidence in order to advance our picture of the early church and Paul's place in it. His two-missions hypothesis amounts to a comprehensive theory of the origins of Christianity and the New Testament. The Library of Pauline Studies is a series of books exploring key issues in Pauline and related studies. This series is edited by Stanley E. Porter, principal, dean, and professor of New Testament at McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Luke's Gospel is normally interpreted on the understanding that he was using three sources, Mark, Q and his special source L. In this major work, now reprinted, Goulder argues that both the Q and the L hypotheses must be abandoned. The argument of the book is then expounded throughout the commentary section, which constitutes the greater part of the work. Luke is shown to have written his Gospel on the basis of Mark and Matthew. He takes each of the previous Gospels in turn as his souce for a section of his writing. Following its order of pericopae, and either rewriting closely or expanding/omitting as seems best. Quite apart from the provocative thesis here developed, the reader of Luke will find on every page of this commentary original and penetrating insights. 'Goulder must be commended for presenting a careful, thorough, fresh study of an old problem, a work that demands a hearing from Gospels scholars ... this work is very insightful and, at points, compelling ... It makes a vital contribution to the Synoptic Problem dialogue, and may even have begun to topple the old paradigm.' Peter K. Nelson, Biblical Studies

The Asaph psalms (50, 73-83) are a unity. They often call God 'Elohim' and 'El', and the people 'Joseph', as Amos does; they appeal to Israelite history, the exodus and the covenant; they are written in the face of military catastrophe. In this suggestive and brilliant work, Goulder argues that they were composed in Bethel in the 720s for use as the psalmody for the autumn festival. This gives us vital new evidence for the history of the Pentateuch: there was at Bethel a historical tradition from at least the time of the oppression in Egypt to the Solomonic Empire; the Asaphites took this tradition to Jerusalem and their descendants were the Deuteronomists.
