Including the Stranger(1st Edition)
Foreigners in the Former Prophets (New Studies in Biblical Theology)
by David G. Firth, D. A. Carson
Paperback, 240 Pages, Published 2019 by Ivp Academic
ISBN-13: 978-0-8308-2919-4, ISBN: 0-8308-2919-9

"The Old Testament, particularly the Former Prophets (Joshua, Judges, 1-2 Samuel, and 1-2 Kings), has frequently been regarded as having a negative attitude towards foreigners. This has meant that these texts are often employed by those opposed to the Christian faith to attack the Bible―and such views can be echoed by Christians. While the story of David and Goliath is cherished, other episodes are seen to involve "ethnic cleansing" or " ..."

Exploring Old Testament Wisdom
by David G. Firth, Lindsay Wilson
Paperback, 240 Pages, Published 2016 by Apollos
ISBN-13: 978-1-78359-430-6, ISBN: 1-78359-430-6

"New collection of studies of Old Testament wisdom literature"






Interpreting Old Testament Wisdom Literature(1st Edition)
by David G. Firth, Lindsay Wilson, Ivp Academic
Paperback, 248 Pages, Published 2017 by Ivp Academic
ISBN-13: 978-0-8308-5178-2, ISBN: 0-8308-5178-X

"In popular perception, Wisdom literature is a "self-help" or "philosophy" section of the Old Testament library―the odd and interesting bits of canonical mortar between History and Prophets. Themes that are prominent elsewhere in the Old Testament receive only scant attention in the wisdom books. Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes focus on everyday life rather than on God's special dealings with the nation of Israel. But Old Testament sch ..."






Presence, Power and Promise
The Role of the Spirit of God in the Old Testament
by David G. Firth, Paul D. Wegner
Paperback, 416 Pages, Published 2011 by Apollos
ISBN-13: 978-1-84474-534-0, ISBN: 1-84474-534-1

"From the first verses of Genesis, the Spirit of God makes a dramatic appearance in the Bible. Yet there is surprisingly little scholarly work on the Spirit in the Old Testament. On examination, what we find are similarities but also some significant differences in emphasis from the New Testament.To unpack these emphases on creation, wisdom, prophecy, leadership, creativity and more, the editors of this volume have brought to the task a ..."






Interpreting Isaiah(1st Edition)
Issues and Approaches
by David G. Firth, Intervarsity Press Staff, Ivp Academic
Paperback, 287 Pages, Published 2009 by Ivp Academic
ISBN-13: 978-0-8308-3703-8, ISBN: 0-8308-3703-5

"Ever since the first century, Christians have regarded Isaiah as a high point in the Old Testament prophetic literature. Its themes of messiah and suffering servant, deliverance from exile and new creation--to name a few--have been viewed as reaching particular fulfillment in the gospel. Then too, the impact of Isaiah on the church's language of worship and hymnology, and on the Western tradition of art and literature, is beyond measure ..."






Hosea
An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries)
by Robin Routledge
Paperback, 216 Pages, Published 2021 by Ivp Academic, United States
ISBN-13: 978-0-8308-4271-1, ISBN: 0-8308-4271-3






The Message of Esther
God Present But Unseen (The Bible Speaks Today)
by David G. Firth
Paperback, 160 Pages, Published 2010 by Inter-Varsity Press
ISBN-13: 978-1-84474-444-2, ISBN: 1-84474-444-2

"By any assessment, Esther is a rather strange book to find in the Bible. Not only is it, along with Daniel, the only book of the Bible to be set entirely outside of the Promised Land, it also shows no interest in that land. More than that, Esther is the only book in the Bible which definitely does not mention God. None of this should be taken as meaning that the book has no theological intention--on the contrary it has a developed theol ..."






Surrendering Retribution in the Psalms(Reprint)
Responses to Violence in Individual Complaints (Paternoster Biblical Monographs)
by David G. Firth
Paperback, 192 Pages, Published 2007 by Wipf & Stock Pub
ISBN-13: 978-1-59752-758-3, ISBN: 1-59752-758-0

"In 'Surrendering Retribution in the Psalms', David Firth examines the ways in which the editors of the Psalms have provided a model of prayer and the surrender of the right of retribution to Yahweh as the appropriate way to respond to violence. This breaks fresh ground on the question of the ways in which the book of Psalms offers instruction. This instruction is then applied to the context of South Africa where he was working as a miss ..."

Genesis(1st Edition)
An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries)
by Andrew E. Steinmann, David G. Firth, Tremper Longman Iii
Paperback, 496 Pages, Published 2019 by Ivp Academic
ISBN-13: 978-0-8308-4251-3, ISBN: 0-8308-4251-9

"Genesis is a book of origins: of the world, of sin, of God's promise of redemption, and of the people of Israel. It traces God's pledge of a Savior through Abraham's line down to his great-grandson Judah. It serves as a foundation for the New Testament and its teaching that Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise to save humankind from sin and death. In this Tyndale Commentary, Andrew Steinmann offers a thorough exegetical commentary ..."

Interpreting Deuteronomy(1st Edition)
Issues and Approaches
by David G. Firth, Philip S. Johnston, Heath A. Thomas
Paperback, 288 Pages, Published 2012 by Apollos
ISBN-13: 978-1-84474-597-5, ISBN: 1-84474-597-X

"The book of Deuteronomy has been immensely influential, not least within the Old Testament itself. It is found among the most frequently occurring manuscripts at Qumran, and it is also one of the Old Testament books most frequently cited in the New Testament. In Matthew's Gospel, it is Deuteronomy which Jesus cites in rejecting temptation. As with so many other Old Testament books, study of Deuteronomy is in the midst of significant cha ..."
