New book!

I get to edit a lot of really interesting books, but rarely do I request a copy for my personal library. I think over the last ten years, I've requested less than a dozen, probably less than ten. So, you know I'm impressed by a book when I want a copy for my personal library.

Yesterday, a year after I finished editing it, I received my copy of Israel's Scriptures in Early Christian Writings: The Use of the Old Testament in the New, edited by Matthias Henze and David Lincicum. This book is about a thousand pages of fantastic essays. I can't recommend it highly enough—and it's a handsome volume, too.

As my seminary theology professor used to say, "You owe it to yourself to read this."
