Praise for previous volumes in the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible"[In Jonah, Phillip] Cary writes with an energy and clarity rarely found in biblical commentaries of any type. . . .

He, appropriately in my opinion, blurs the distinction between interpretation and theology. . . . If . . . you want a sustained theological theme played out over the course of interpreting a text, then this volume will both edify and repay repeated reading."--Stephen Fowl, Catholic Biblical Quarterly"Phillip Cary's commentary on the book of Jonah combines profound exegesis with original insights that could serve both the biblical scholar and the layperson. . . . Cary does end on a hopeful note in helping us rediscover that Christians and Jews can rejoice in the graces that they have both received from God. It is a hermeneutical conclusion that brings to an end this thought-provoking commentary. . . . A fine contribution to the field of exegesis on the book of Jonah. Phillip Cary does not simply repeat what others have written. He opens the way to some new possibilities in the interpretation of the book of Jonah for Christians today."--Jacek Stefanski, Review of Biblical Literature"One of the great strengths of Ephraim Radner's Leviticus commentary is his commitment to giving unrelenting attention to the materiality of the text, its reasonings, and the way of life it exhibits--all of which make it possible for Christians better to see how Jesus might be seen as performing the logic and reasoning of the Levitical text itself."--Jacob Goodson, Modern TheologyProjected volumes in the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible includeStephen Fowl (Loyola College at Maryland) and Samuel Wells (Duke University) on Ruth & Esther Ellen Charry (Princeton Theological Seminary) on Psalms, vol. 1Paul Griffiths (Duke University) on Song of Songs Kevin Vanhoozer (Wheaton College Graduate School) on Jeremiah David Lyle Jeffrey (Baylor University) on Luke Bernd Wannenwetsch (University of Oxford) and Brian Brock (University of Aberdeen) on 1 Corinthians John Webster (King's College, University of Aberdeen) on Ephesians George Hunsinger (Princeton Theological Seminary) on Philippians Christopher Seitz (Wycliffe College, University of Toronto) on Colossians Timothy George (Beeson Divinity School, Samford University) on James
