Eerdmans Publishing Company

I'm Brent Siddall.

My very special guest on the show this time is Dave Nienhuis, who's here to talk about this new Eerdmans book, And the Sea Was No More: Reading the Bible in the Deep.

Great title.

Now, Dave is Professor of New Testament studies at Seattle Pacific Seminary.

What a great half hour.

Oh, great.

Dave Nienhuis, and the book from Eerdmans is called And the Sea Was No More: Reading the Bible in the Deep.

Go away and get a copy.

Oh, yeah

... "Will Many Be Saved," and that was published by Eerdmans publishing company in 2012.

So Brayden might be interested in checking that out as well.

Uh, uh, Brayden, hang on.

So a lot of work on Hosea in all kinds of ways, but then also, uh, continuing my interest in all things kind of ancient Israelite and Judean history, which again, is kind of how I got into this through the warfare stuff.

I have just submitted a manuscript for a, a new book that is right now called A Student's History of Ancient Israel that will be coming out with Eerdmans, uh, Publishing.

Uh, not sure when, but it is an attempt to provide students, especially, uh, first-year kinda introductory students in a university or a seminary who are in a kind of Introduction to the Hebrew Bible, Old Testament class, with a way to think about the history of ancient Israel and Judah in dialogue with the study of that.

And to especially talk a little bit about w- you know, what, what is history and historiography? Like, how do we understand those things, and how do we understand the relationship between the Bible and history? So Hosea and Israelite Judean history have been occupying a lot of my time since this book came out.

It was her first marriage.

Two months later, Eerdmans published her second memoir, Affirming, a memoir of faith and sexuality and staying in the church.

Karen helped edit it.

The book traced the road between the two memoirs without pretending the earlier Sally had been lying.

And the only work of Karl Barth where there is some space dedicated to conscience is volume on ethics, while in later, works, especially in his dogmatics, he has very little to say about conscience.

And there is a very, in my estimation, a very important volume published by Eerdmans, by Stephen Gabriel, which was published maybe 20 years ago, I think in 2003.

The title is Rediscovering the Natural Law in Reformed Theological Ethics.

And the first 50 pages of this work by Gabriel deal with Barthes and the marginalization of conscience.
