BIBLE and INTERPRETATION
ABRAHAM’S SILENCE The Binding of Isaac, the Suffering of Job, and How to Talk Back to God J. Richard Middleton
J. Richard Middleton suggests we have misread and misapplied the story of the binding of Isaac and explains that God desires more than silent obedience in difficult times.
“This is interpretation at its most daring and at its best. Middleton sees the urgency of speaking up to God, a ‘speaking up’ in which God delights (see Job 42:7)! Middleton’s conclusion matters among us now in a time of authoritarian silencing all around us.” —WALTER BRUEGGEMANN, Columbia Theological Seminary (emeritus) “In this groundbreaking work, Middleton dares to question Abraham’s unquestioning obedience in Genesis 22. The pastoral implications of this book make it a must-read for pastors and biblical scholars alike.” —CARMEN JOY IMES, Biola University

HOW SCRIPTURE INTERPRETS SCRIPTURE What Biblical Writers Can Teach Us about Reading the Bible Michael Graves This book demonstrates that learning from the biblical writers makes us bet- ter interpreters and teachers who are more adept at discerning the meaning of the text for our modern world. “In his brilliant book, Graves creates a compelling conversation across the Old and New Testaments as he brings the biblical world to life. The serious student and pastor will find here a resource gold mine for their studies and encouragement to apply Scripture authentically today.” —LYNN H. COHICK, Northern Seminary “If heeded, Graves’s work will lead to a more mature and less prejudiced use of Scripture in the church.” —H. G. M. WILLIAMSON, University of Oxford (emeritus)
