  1. Esther
    Esther
    ISBN: 9781783685059
    £11.99

    The book of Esther seems to show little interest in the temple, the Promised Land, prayer or other signs of the Israelite religion. Most peculiarly for a book of the Bible, there is no explicit mention of God! Yet there are many similarities with present situations in Asia, which open ways for God to speak today. Lau examines the book in its original context, and considers how to interpret and...

  2. Philippians
    Philippians
    ISBN: 9781783685851
    £13.99

    Asian Christians will identify with the context of the epistle to the Philippians – a church hemmed in on every side. The internal struggles of the community, personality conflicts among leaders, division within the church, and challenges from false teachers coupled with the violent threat from outside the church parallels the situation in many parts of Asia. This commentary studies the text...

  3. Colossians and Philemon
    Colossians and Philemon
    ISBN: 9781783686056
    £15.99

    Paul’s epistle to the Colossians provided guidance on how to deal with their past, showing them how faith in Christ brings new meaning to their situation. In his epistle to Philemon, Paul demonstrates the potential when slaves responded to the gospel and turned to Christ. Both of these epistles are extremely relevant to the church in Asia today, especially as it is confronted with syncretism,...

  4. Ezra and Nehemiah
    Ezra and Nehemiah
    ISBN: 9781783681556
    £15.99

    The examples in these books, of leading through challenges and opposition by trusting the Lord and committing to prayer, testify to how God’s gracious hand guides and blesses his people at each step. The careful exposition of these two books provides a valuable model for us to balance prayer and action with contextual application, and how the full obedience of leaders can lead to communities...

  5. Jonah
    Jonah
    ISBN: 9781783686452
    £9.99

    Dr. Rosa Shao beautifully weaves together the story of the biblical text with narratives from the Asian (Chinese and Filipino) contexts and psychological insights. Testifying to how she was drawn to the book, Dr. Shao shares how this book has impacted her personally and demonstrates how others can hear the book’s message in their own context. From better understanding the story of Jonah,...

  6. Ephesians
    Ephesians
    ISBN: 9781839730559
    £13.99

    In his letter to the Ephesian church, the apostle Paul draws out the practical implications of God’s purpose for the body of Christ, showing how the unity of a new humanity is revealed within it as a foretaste of the ultimate unity of all things in the Son of God. This commentary shows the relevance of Ephesians for the church in Asia today seeking to understand God’s eternal purposes in...

  7. Joel, Nahum, and Malachi
    Joel, Nahum, and Malachi
    ISBN: 9781839732652
    £11.99

    The three prophets – Joel, Nahum, and Malachi – speak to the challenges of their own day. Joel, following a locust plague, confronts the people of a bigger impending catastrophe that they could avoid if they return to God with prayers. Nahum depicts the wrath of God against an oppressive country. Malachi calls the people to honor the unchanging God who continues to care for them, even if they...

    1 & 2 Kings provide a history of the kings of Judah and Israel.

The narratives in these books tell of God’s activities in the history of the Israelites fulfilling his promises and...
