Coming this fall: Belief: A Theological Commentary on the Bible In fall 2010, Westminster John Knox Press will introduce a new Bible commentary series focusing on the enduring relevance of Scripture for today and connecting the words of the Bible to the church's doctrines and practices, as well as to the life of faith in Christian community. The series, titled Belief: A Theological Commentary on the Bible, was developed by William C. Placher and Amy Plantinga Pauw. The first two volumes will be published in fall 2010: Mark, by William C. Placher, and Luke, by Justo L. González. This new series will build on a wide range of sources such as biblical studies, the Christian tradition, popular culture, and the language of Christian worship. Whereas most commentaries emphasize the Bible's ancient meaning, Belief concentrates on the living Word relative to the theological and ethical concerns of today. Noted scholars representing diverse backgrounds and perspectives will ensure a fresh and invigorating approach to the books of the Bible. Nearly half of the volumes in the series will be written by women, and almost a third of the volumes will be written by persons of color. Authors include Michael Battle, Anna Case-Winters, Harvey Cox, Miguel De La Torre, Justo L. González, Boyung Lee, Thomas G. Long, Daniel Migliore, Stephanie Paulsell, Amy Plantinga Pauw, William C. Placher, Marcia Riggs, Donald Saliers, Ronald Sider, Leanne Van Dyk, and Allen Verhey, plus two dozen others. |
