Paul: The Storyteller

Last updated on: December 8, 2024 at 10:28 am By Frank Viola

If you somehow missed the first excerpt of my upcoming book on the New Testament story, you can read it here. Christoph Heilig is one of many scholars who helped me with some of the research questions I had for it. And as I was writing my own book, Heilig came out with a new book of his own on a different topic. Christoph Heilig’s Paul: The Storyteller offers a fresh and innovative exploration of the Apostle Paul’s narrative approach,... Read more

To my mind, Paul Barnett is one of the greatest scholars in the world. His expertise is early Christianity, biblical history, and the New Testament. And he’s written a new book. But before we get to that, let me fondly about Paul. Here are some of his outstanding publications (some of these volumes have been revised in later years). They are so good, I’ve cited many of them in my upcoming book The Untold Story of the New Testament Church:... Read more

I’m a collector of premium Bibles. I love the look and feel of the goatskin leather covers. That’s why I wanted a copy of The John MacArthur Premium Edition Study Bible (Second Edition). This Bible stands as a conservative theological resource that offers readers an exploration of Scripture through a Reformed, evangelical Protestant lens. Published by Thomas Nelson, this study Bible combines the full text of the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) with MacArthur’s extensive explanatory notes, providing readers with a... Read more

Behind the Scenes of the New Testament: Cultural, Social, and Historical Contexts edited by B.W. Longenecker, E.E. Shively, and T.J. Lang, is a new book that provides readers with a deep dive into the world of the New Testament. Because my upcoming book The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: Revised and Expanded is print ready and due to release March 2025, I wasn’t able to cite this book before I turned my manuscript into the publisher.

Stephen Dempster’s The Return of the Kingdom (2024) is one of the books I cited in my upcoming massive work The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: Revised and Expanded due out March 2025. Dempster’s “The Return of the Kingdom” is a compelling exploration of the biblical narrative’s central theme: God’s kingship and the restoration of His kingdom.
