For over one hundred years International Critical Commentaries have had a special place among works on the Bible. They bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological - to help the reader understand the meaning of the books of the Old and New Testaments. The new commentaries continue this tradition. All new evidence now available is incorporated and new methods of study are applied. The authors are of the highest international standing. No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought. Professor John Goldingay, a noted specialist on Deutero and Trito Isaiah continues his breathtaking work of commentary, following his widely acclaimed volumes (with David Payne) of the International Critical Commentary on Isaiah 40-55.

Consider his creative insights into what is going on in this most difficult of books. Reflect on the questions he asks and his interaction with scholarship. In the end, you cannot help but benefit from this excellent commentary on Joshua."--Richard S. Hess, Denver Seminary"As we have come to expect, in his newest commentary Goldingay provides a vibrant and down-to-earth engagement with the book of Joshua, challenging interpreters at every turn to reconsider their assumptions and think about the text afresh. Readers can expect to find stimulating literary, theological, and canonical reflections as they engage anew one of the most consequential books of the Hebrew Bible."--Michelle Knight, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"John Goldingay has a special gift for theological insight, and this volume showcases that flair, especially when it adeptly addresses some of the thorniest theological issues in the book of Joshua--namely, the conquest of the land, colonialism, and the displacement of native people groups. This wonderful commentary is highly accessible and will be especially useful for clergy and lay readers with its plain-speaking manner of writing and useful contemporary analogies."--Melissa Ramos, Portland Seminary at George Fox University"John Goldingay is an interpreter of remarkable breadth, insight, and clarity. He is at the very top of his game in this volume. The introduction constitutes, hands down, the best orientation to the scholarship on Joshua to date, not only offering lucid discussions on the full range of issues and approaches associated with the book but also explaining what's at stake in them. Goldingay's exposition works through the text with cogency, levelheadedness, and a touch of humor. This volume, in short, constitutes the new beginning point for those drawn to the study of Joshua."--L. Daniel Hawk, Ashland Theological Seminary

"A commentary for scholars and pastors on the biblical book of Lamentations, with an emphasis on reading it as authoritative Christian Scripture"--

Isaiah is a miracle. Divine wonder can be found in its testimonies to God's communication with people, in reminders of God's acts long ago, in reports of God's acts of rescue of his people, in God's promised acts of restoration in the future, and in God's extraordinary acts toward other peoples. The extraordinary binds the prophecy together.

What is ethics?Ethics is not merely about tricky situations or hot topics. Instead, ethics asks questions about what sort of people we are, how we think, what sort of things we do and don't do, and how we ought to live our everyday lives. How might we learn ethics from the Old Testament? Instead of searching for support for our positions or pointing out problems with certain passages, trusted guide John Goldingay urges us to let the Old Testament itself set the agenda. In this volume, readers will encounter what the Old Testament teaches about relationships, work, Sabbath, character, and more. Featuring Goldingay's own translation and discussion questions for group use, Old Testament Ethics: A Guided Tour is a resource for ethics like no other. Topically organized with short, stand-alone chapters, this book is one to keep close at hand.

Approaching the Bible for the first time can be intimidating. Where should you begin?
