A New Commentary on Exodus

“Kregel’s Exegetical Commentary series has already made a strong impact with works by Allen Ross on Psalms and Robert Chisholm on Judges/Ruth, and Garrett doesn’t let the side down.  His Exodus Commentary is a fine work of scholarship, being nicely “weighted” towards the first part of the Book (to ch. 24) for preachers.”

A Review of ‘Invitation to Biblical Interpretation’

“Hermeneutics is not just the art and science of how to interpret, but is also reflection on how we already interpret.  This is tacitly acknowledged on page 65 n.22 where there is a suggestion made to meditate on passages in the Psalms and Isaiah before interpreting.  But they quickly go on to affirm the importance of “the literary and linguistic aspects of the biblical material” (66).  This point is well taken, but it is in the employment of these aspects within a theological matrix that is often the problem.”

CONNECTED TRUTH: A PERSONAL JOURNEY

A Brief Testimony Before I became a Christian at the age of 25 I had a yearning for truth.  I tried to find it, of all places, at the local pub, ‘The Bull’.  Not the deep truth of philosophers; just the everyday truth of belonging.  Real Ale and parties and pub banter provided the backdrop Read More

Faith and Reason in Christian Perspective

It appears to me that one of the first things a faithful theologian needs to do is to straighten out the confusion brought about by the world’s separation of faith and reason. This relationship is so vital to a biblically fastened worldview that to neglect it will involve the believer in a host of conflicting Read More
