BIBLE and INTERPRETATION
THE EVOLUTION OF ADAM What the Bible Does and Doesn’t Say about Human Origins, 10th anniversary edition Peter Enns
Old Testament scholar Peter Enns helps Christians reconcile Genesis and Paul with current views on evolution and human origins.
Winner of a Book of the Year Award, Foreword Magazine “Thoughtful, accessible, and timely.” —WIL GAFNEY, Brite Divinity School
“Enns revisits the evolution-creation debate, not to prove science or Scripture right or wrong or to find some unsatisfying coexistence between contrary thoughts but to read Scripture while seriously considering what evolution can contribute to the discussion. Such an approach can lead Christians to a new synthesis that frames Genesis and Paul in new ways.” —MIGUEL A. DE LA TORRE, Iliff School of Theology

JESUS AND THE FORCES OF DEATH The Gospels’ Portrayal of Ritual Impurity within First-Century Judaism Matthew Thiessen
2020 Center for Biblical Studies Book Award (New Testament Runner-Up) Named a Sejong Book of 2021, Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA)
Correcting a popular misconception, this book demonstrates that the Gospel writers present Jesus within the context of Judaism, opposing ritual impurity but not the Jewish law itself.
“Utterly fresh and innovative. . . . Thiessen summons his reader to nothing less than a radical reimagining of Christian origins.” —PAULA FREDRIKSEN, Review of Biblical Literature “A must-read for anyone interested in Jesus, the Gospels, and the ins and outs of ancient Jewish law and practice.” —ADELE REINHARTZ, University of Ottawa
