- The Secret Revelation of John
- Karen L. King offers an illuminating reading of this ancient text, said to be Christ's revelation to his disciple John.

- Out of the Whirlwind
- The book of Job is a complex treatment of the problem of undeserved suffering. It is also a sustained meditation on creation, on humanity's place in creation, and on God's ordering of creation. In this study, Schifferdecker offers a close literary and theological reading of the book of Job--particularly of God's speeches at the end of the book--in order to articulate its creation theology, which is particularly pertinent in our environmentally-conscious age.

- Doubting Thomas
- From the New Testament, Glenn W. Most traces Thomas's permutations through the centuries: as Gnostic saint, missionary to India, paragon of Christian orthodoxy, hero of skepticism, and negative example of doubt, blasphemy, and violence. This work shows how Thomas's story, in its many guises, touches upon central questions of religion, philosophy, hermeneutics, and, not least, life.
