 Lexham Press has produced a book that is unlike anything I have ever seen in my few years of learning. It is totally unique in the world of New Testament studies and Pauline studies. The book is titled Journeys of the Apostle Paul. There are many competent New Testament scholars who have contributed to this book.  This book is somewhere between a bible seminary student course and a casual reader. 

Overall, this is an excellent book. I like the way it has background information inserted to give the reader an overview of the context and the historical times in which things were occurring. The author uses several Roman historians to establish timelines. I think it is also important to mention that the book is very aesthetically pleasing. The editor, David Bomar, really put this book together nicely. This book will last students for ages.

NKJV Evangelical Study Bible

-
    The NKJV Evangelical Study Bible is a fantastic Bible for anybody to use for study, either academic or devotional. It is appropriate for people of all faiths to use. This Bible focuses on mainstream evangelical theology in order to strengthen your faith. It contains a wealth of historical and contextual information, analysis, essays, biographies, full-color maps, and much more. 10.5 Comfort is the font size. 2K/Denmark created the print for the Thomas Nelson NKJV. It was produced using line-matching, which means that the text is in the same place on both sides of the page to improve readability. This is a special edition. The red and black lettering are both dark. The red letter is burgundy in color. The text has enough white space to be extremely readable. This Bible does use quite a bit of color accents, that some may not prefer. To me, they are subtle enough that it is not distracting and seem mostly helpful to navigate. The NKJV Evangelical Study Bible is a well-crafted study B

Coloe Gospel of John

-
The Wisdom Commentary (WC) series is the first scholarly collaboration to offer detailed feminist interpretations of every book of the Bible. John 1–10 which is in the Wisdom Commentary Series is authored by Mary L. Coloe PBVM. Coloe is professor of the New Testament at Yarra Theological Union, a college of the University of Divinity in Melbourne. The commentary is rich in theological and pastoral insights on this profound gospel. Furthermore, the feminist viewpoint of this author and series strengthens the Gospel's enduring message. The book contains an extensive introductory section, written by the editor of the commentary series, Barbara Reid, which is a terrific read. This section explains that the series is a reflection of the third wave of feminism, which does not embrace only one methodological approach but rather considers different methodologies. A statement of methods, and one can only applaud the editors for their ambitious goals to for instance take into consideration d
