September Update: Back to School!

Leaves are falling, books are opening...

Greetings from Zondervan Academic!   For many of you, fall is the most hectic period of the year. Students are returning, planning for the academic year is underway, and the weather is changing.        Fall is also our busiest time of the year, and that kicks off with our Fall 2024 Academic Catalog available for download now. And don't miss our Zondervan Academic Textbook Day on September 18! Get the details by signing up for our Zondervan Academic deals email list.      We're also preparing for a major new release on October 1st: Kevin Vanhoozer's Mere Christian Hermeneutics. In a recent video, Dr. Vanhoozer explains why this book is important and how its insights can benefit biblical interpreters. We strongly encourage you to get your pre-order in now to ensure you get a copy of the book. New Testament scholar Patrick Schreiner celebrated the arrival of Vanhoozer's book with a post on X:  Also in hermeneutics, check out Andrew Judd's recent appearance on the Two Cities Podcast to talk about his book Modern Genre Theory.    Two of our key titles for the fall are focused on the book of Acts. N.T. Wright's The Challenge of Acts is a brief but poignant introduction to Acts that focuses on the mission of the disciples to confront the wider culture of the Greco-Roman world with the story of Jesus. Recently, writing in Christianity Today, Wright clearly asserts that Christian engagement with culture is not voluntary. Focusing on the political realm and building on a recent book, Jesus and the Powers, Wright explores just what Jesus might have to say to 'Empire' in our day and age. Coauthored with Michael Bird, Jesus and the Powers is available now.    Steve Walton's detailed and technical three-volume work on Acts in the Word Biblical Commentary is a publication event nearly 50 years in the making. The first installment covers Acts 1–9:42; you can get a free sample of Walton's view on Acts 2 (80 pages of content!) when you place your pre-order before October 29! While we're talking about Acts, be on the lookout for a major spring textbook release, The Story of Jesus Continues, by Douglas Huffman. It provides a comprehensive introduction to Acts that is designed specifically for the classroom. So, send your Acts course to your dean and get an exam copy request submitted today.    Out next week, Targums and Rabbinic Literature is the latest volume in The Ancient Literature for New Testament Studies series. Covering the literature that shaped both the Jewish and Christian faith from the Second Temple period through the Early Church era, this introductory text will help students gain a deeper understanding of the religious currents in the Roman world. Download a free sample if you missed doing so last month!    Going deeper into Scripture is also the aim of How to Study the Bible's Use of the Bible by Gary Edward Schnittjer and Matthew S. Harmon. It equips instructors to teach a deeper hermeneutic by focusing on the interpretive decisions of biblical authors. Get that exam copy request in or place a pre-order now! If you're looking for something geared toward the Christian life, do not miss the treasury of biblical interpretation found in The NIV Application Commentary on the Bible: One Volume Edition. Elegantly bound and registering 1,472 pages, this volume is a smartly distilled compendium of the best commentary from the renowned NIV Application Commentary series. Order today!       We have big news on Bridging the Testaments! If you've had a chance to tackle this big book, you've likely been waiting for more from George Athas. Well, we just released the Bridging the Testaments Video Lectures series. Don't miss this terrific opportunity to go deeper into the so-called  "intertestamental" period! We've also just received the Instructor Resources for this title. It will be a couple of months before these resources post but check the book's webpage later this fall so you can plan for your spring course. Oh, and just as soon as we wrap up this newsletter, we'll be getting the Instructor Resources for Jesus, Contradicted up on that book's webpage. Resources for this title are among the best we have ever produced, so be sure to check them out!    From Zondervan Reflective, Jemar Tisby's Spirit of Justice is now available along with Gavin Ortlund's insightful volume What It Means to Be Protestant. Be sure to check out our new interview with Ortlund on the Zondervan Academic blog. Also out in September are Priests of History by Sarah Irving-Stonebraker and Pilgrim Prayers by Tim Challies; the latter book is a refreshing devotional journey through the poetry of spiritual forebearers. Pre-order both titles today!    Best wishes, Jesse Hillman Vice President of Marketing Zondervan Academic, Zondervan Reflective jesse.hillman@harpercollins.com P.S. Deals from Logos!
