Biblical Truths

“[An] incisive, illuminating book . . . [that] will help believers and nonbelievers alike interpret or defend faith in the 21st century.”—Publishers Weekly

“Martin uses clear, direct, uncomplicated language in addressing complex theological ideas . . . An extremely readable and accessible argument.”—Steven Schweitzer, Reading Religion

“[Biblical Truths] is the sort of book that’s worth returning to again and again. I know I’ll be opening its pages many times over the next few months and, if you find contemporary Christian theology as fascinating and as important as I do, I’d strongly suggest you do so as well.”—Dan Wilkinson, Unfundamentalist blog

“I find his historical and exegetical work to be of undeniably great merit and always stimulating. . . . He is absolutely right to pose the question of the relationship between history and theology as the primary subtext for his work.”—Joshua W. Jipp, Bulletin of Biblical Research

"The book is gracefully written and eminently “readable,” containing many a pithy observation that plunges us deeper into its subject. . . . This is indeed a book filled with riches old and new . . . a work to return to and to stay with, again and again."—Linda M. Maloney, Catholic Biblical Quarterly

“Written in Martin’s customary fresh and lucid style, this book is a mature and considered theology from an academic who has been immersed over a career studying the New Testament. A landmark in contemporary theology.”—Graham Ward, University of Oxford


“An eye-opening and liberating book, Biblical Truths cuts through some of the most profound aspects of the religion/culture wars in our contemporary world. Martin offers a way forward that I believe will be deeply influential for a long time to come.”— John M.G. Barclay, Durham University
 


“A fascinating and even exciting work. Martin fits his own scholarly and confessional experience into the work in a way that is quite compelling.”— Stephen E. Fowl, Loyola University


“Dale Martin's Biblical Truths marks an outstanding contribution to theological interpretation. Hermeneutical sophistication, historical acuity, and theological sensitivity converge in a readable, persuasive, and sound exposition of Scripture.”—A. K. M. Adam, University of Oxford
