Glossary

The latest release, covering Joshua, Judges and Ruth, in a major new series of guides to the books of the Old Testament, written in an accessible and anecdotal style. The series is suitable for personal or group use and the format is also appropriate for daily study.

Following on the heels of the successful New Testament for Everyone commentaries by N. T. Wright, John Goldingay, an internationally respected Old Testament scholar, authors this ambitious Old Testament for Everyone series. Covering Scripture from Genesis to Malachi, Goldingay addresses the texts in such a way that even the most challenging passages are explained simply. Perfect for daily devotions, Sunday school preparation, or brief visits with the Bible, the Old Testament for Everyone series is an excellent resource for the modern reader.

\["For small groups and individuals","This book offers a series of readings and accessible studies ","You'll find how a deep reading of the Bible is never out of reach "\]

The Good Book Stall

Adventure, horror and love are the core scripture themes unveiled in John Goldingay’s great slimline commentary to three significant Old Testament books. There is pace, personality and wisdom abounding in this work. The scriptural insight and personal disclosures contrast the glory and purposes of God as well as the struggles and searches of our humanity. There is helpful application and strong-yet-sensitive exegesis. My frustration would only have been the size of scriptural inclusions and therefore how this consequentially minimised Goldingay's scholarly and soulful help!   
 Accessible, engaging and faithful to the salvation story of God!
