How We Got the Bible
AuthorNeil R. Lightfoot
I was anticipating reading several different books covering the same topic, but this book offers such a detailed overview that I feel there is little need.

Proverbs: An Introduction & Commentary
AuthorDerek Kidner
ISBN0877842663
It ought to come as no surprise that I am a fan of the book of Proverbs and the wisdom approach of the ancient Hebrews in general [1].  This book is, even now, a worthwhile book for those who want to understand the book of Proverbs better.  Although it is a pretty old book, by the standards of biblical commentaries...
The First Urban Christians: The Social World of the Apostle Paul
AuthorWayne A. Meeks
ISBN0300098618
I'm not a theologian and so not really qualified to judge the literary value of the content - some reviewers dispute Meeks' assertions of authorship for some of the epistles, or lack of treatment of some relevant material and I can see why they might be concerned that he extrapolates too far from scanty...

A History of Israel
AuthorJohn Bright
ISBN0664220681
This is the most interesting book I've read all year. It's an attempt to tell the story of the Jews from the earliest times to the Maccabean revolt using the Bible, archaeology and the general history of the area. In the absence of other evidence – or common sense – Bright defaults to the Bible (using...

We Become What We Worship: A Biblical Theology of Idolatry
AuthorG.K. Beale
I really enjoyed this book. Beale's thesis was extremely CLEAR and well-presented: what we revere is what we resemble, either for ruin or restoration. If we worship idols, we become vain like them (having eyes but not seeing, ears but not hearing) and are destroyed by them. If we worship the true God,...
