Faculty Publications Lynn Cohick, PhD PROVOST/DEAN AND PROFESSOR OF NEW TESTAMENT The Letter to the Ephesians The letter to the Ephesians (out this fall) provokes interpretive questions of authorship, audience, date, occasion, and purpose of writing. Interacting critically with this intense debate, Cohick provides an exegetically astute analysis of the six chapters of Ephesians. Cohick offers an insightful account of the epistle's theology and soteriology as she attends to the letter's expansive prose and lofty vision of God's redemption. Joseph Dodson, PhD ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF NEW TESTAMENT Paul and the Giants of Philosophy: Reading the Apostle in Greco-Roman Context What forces shaped the intellectual world of the apostle Paul? How familiar was he with the great philosophers of his age, and to what extent was he influenced by them? Dodson and co-editor David E. Briones, have gathered contributors with diverse views from various traditions who are united in the desire to make Paul's engagement with ancient philosophy more accessible. Knut Heim, PhD PROFESSOR OF OLD TESTAMENT Ecclesiastes: An Introduction and Commentary The book of Ecclesiastes is probably best known for its repeated refrain that "everything is meaningless," or "vanity." However, a thorough reading demonstrates that this is not its final conclusion. Heim's commentary shows that the book is intellectually sophisticated, theologically rich, emotionally deep—and full of humor. While it is realistic about life, it is life-affirming, and immensely practical. David Mathewson, PhD ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF NEW TESTAMENT A Companion to the Book of Revelation This companion book introduces readers to what kind of literature Revelation is, explores how to interpret its symbolism, and sees it as a response to the unique circumstances of seven historical churches in first-century Asia Minor living under the shadow of the Roman Empire. This companion pays special attention to the literary context and flow of argument of John's unique book, while also giving attention to the effect the visions would have had on the first churches. Don Payne, PhD ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF THEOLOGY AND CHRISTIAN FORMATION Already Sanctified: A Theology of the Christian Life in Light of God's Completed Work How does the doctrine of sanctification shape the Christian life? Offering a fully developed treatment of "accomplished" sanctification, Payne explains that the primary biblical focus in sanctification is not progressive growth but that which has already occurred for Christians to make growth possible, necessary, and grace-driven.
