By looking in detail at the Lord's Prayer and its background, Tom Wright offers a really fresh and helpful way of looking at Jesus. Phrase by phrase, he demonstrates how understanding the prayer in its original setting can be the starting point for a rekindling of Christian spirituality and the life of prayer.

Deuteronomy is treated in this commentary as a book which reflects a critical stage at the end of the Mosaic Age, namely the renewal of the Covenant prior to the major Hebrew conquest of Canaan. The book is thus interpreted from a conservative perspective, but not from a strongly dogmatic position; while an argument is presented for an early date of Deuteronomy in substantially its present form, the difficulties with this point of view are recognised. One way the author defends his view is by showing the possibility of Egyptian influence where others have thought they detected evidence of contact with Palestinian culture. Thus, influences that many have assumed could have come only after the conquest are traced instead to the Hebrews' enslavement in Egypt. The resources of recent research in Old Testament studies are utilised in an attempt to bridge the gap of more than three thousand years separating the modern reader from the events described in Deuteronomy. The commentary attempts to clarify the primary meaning of the text for the modern reader, working from the conviction that the textual description of the "Renewal of the Sinai Covenant" has a contemporary message for the members of the New Covenant. That message is one of total commitment to the Covenant God.

Scholars disagree about the meaning of the teachings of the Old Testament prophet Hosea. Taking into account the variety of current views, Davies' commentary on Hosea is based on a thorough study of Hebrew texts, ancient translations, and archaelogical evidence. Davies stresses Hosea's new interpretations of Biblical traditions and draws attention to the treatment of the prophet's sayings in ancient Israel, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the New Testament.

In Retrospect: Remembrance of Things Past

This writing, using historical illustrations, gives chew able thoughts for those who question the reasoning - the existence - of the Master of the Universe. Yancy wonders the deep questions of the ages, leaving us with the thrilling realization that our God is incomprehensible - therefore; a God who can be worshiped. I highly recommend giving this book to those still in the those of deciding on the existence or lordship of God.
