Maybe they are coming strong onto the scene of Biblical Studies, or maybe I am just now noticing them (in the last 4-5 years), but I have been impressed lately with Baylor University Press. And they have some exciting things coming down the pipeline. Here are a few items:
Terence L. Donaldson, Jews and Anti-Judaism in the New Testament: Decision Points and Divergent Interpretations (June)
Richard Bauckham, The Bible and Ecology: Rediscovering the Community of Creation (August)
David Horrell, C. Hunt, and C. Southgate, Greening Paul – Rereading the Apostle in a Time of Ecological Crisis (October)
Mark Dubis, 1 Peter: A Handbook on the Greek Text (November)
M. Culy, M. Parsons, J.J. Stigall, Luke: A Handbook on the Greek Text (November)
BUP is certainly coming into their own. Carey Newman (formerly with WJK, now director of BUP) is top notch, aggressive, and passionate about the press and getting significant names publishing for it. These look very nice.
It’s also good to see my friend and colleague Josh Stigall taking part in the Luke Handbook; very nice. Josh’s Greek is incredible.
