📚 We are excited to announce Dr. Mark J. Boda’s newly released commentary on the book of Lamentations!

“The book of Lamentations is disturbing, says highly regarded Old Testament scholar Mark J. Boda. It forces readers to encounter the honest pain of a community and to struggle with the various strategies employed for processing that pain. Its presence in the scriptural canon of all streams of Judaism and Christianity is testimony to its enduring value.”

Dr. Gordon Heath is reading Reformation: Europe’s House Divided by Diarmaid MacCulloch.

"It is one of the best books on the Reformation: significant amount of details, very insightful, well written, and always something to learn with every new read. I teach a class on the Reformation this coming Fall semester, and this book gets me back into the period."
