A Brief Book Notice from Books At a Glance
By Jonathan Ahlgren
In today’s book notice we are thrilled to show off two volumes of this GlossaHouse festschrift series. Treasures New & Old includes essays in honor of Donald A. Hagner and the second one, The Seed of Promise: The Sufferings and Glory of the Messiah includes essays in Honor of T. Desmond Alexander.
The Editors of both of these volumes have provided a fitting lineup of scholars and a fascinating array of various yet connected essays.
The list of contributors and essays is so extensive that we have included them in the post for you to look through as you consider picking one or both of these up. Many of these essays by themselves are well worth the price of the book.
