Isaiah 40-48 (A. Perry, Willow Publications, 2010: 356 pages, ISBN 978-0-9563841-1-9). Isaiah 40-48 argues that the traditional Babylonian reading of these chapters is wrong and it presents a new reading that situates these oracles in the years 701-699. It offers a new explanation of Isaiah's famous Cyrus prophecy and shows how Isaiah's oracles relate to events east of Jordan, to Sennacherib's campaign in Babylonia in 700, and to the visit of the Babylonian envoys.Now available directly  from LULU

Job (A. Perry, Willow Publications, 2009:363 pages, ISBN 978-0-9526-1925-3).This book offers a chapter by chapter commentary on the Book of Job using the KJV, RSV and NASB versions of the Bible. It compares Job with the Book of Isaiah and argues that Job, in addition to being a story about a patriarch, is also a prophetic and political commentary about Hezekiah and Judah during the days of the Assyrian Crisis. This prophetic and political discourse is set within the parabolic framework of the prologue and epilogue, in which the details of the patriarch Job's experience have been chosen in such a way so as to represent Hezekiah and Judah. Now available directly   from LULU

Historical Issues in the Book of Daniel (Thomas E. Gaston, 2009, 176 pages: ISBN 978-0-9561540-0-2). In the nineteenth century critical scholars dismissed the book of Daniel as a creation of the Hellenistic period, some four hundred years after the events recorded therein. Though there were some historical mentions, many of the characters, customs and situations described in the book were unknown to the nineteenth century scholar. Over the last century the curtain of historical ignorance has been slowly pulled back by archaeological discoveries and greater research. In Historical Issues in the Book of Daniel Thomas Gaston reappraises the historicity of the events recorded in the book of Daniel. Now available directly   from LULU

God is Judge: A Commentary on Daniel (Paulus Wyns, 2011, 515 pages: ISBN 978-0-9870808-0-6). This commentary presents an intertextual reading of Daniel that places the Temple and eschatological Atonement at the centre of the book's theology. A failure of exilic prophetic interpretation inspired a failed attempt to restore the First Temple under Cyrus. The unsuccessful mission under Cyrus was corrected 21 years later during the ministries of Zechariah-Haggai under Darius Hystaspis; precisely 62 years after the deportation of the last Judean captives by Nebuchadnezzar with the Second Temple rebuilt exactly 70 years after it had been destroyed. For this reason Daniel ignores the reign of Cyrus and proceeds directly to the conquest of Babylon by Darius Hystaspis (Darius the Mede). Daniel's history is subordinated to his theology. The initial setting of Babylonian First Temple destruction and Persian era restoration is supplemented by Antiochene desecration and Maccabean rededication of the Second Temple resulting in an already/not yet realization (apocalyptic moment). However, Daniel's enigmatic numerical time periods are not Maccabean era inventions or ex eventu prophecy as they represent supra-historical realities based on intervals between the destruction of the Temple on the ninth of Ab and prominent Jewish Feasts in the lunar Jewish Festal Calendar. The influence of Temple-Atonement theology is traced from Daniel through the New Testament where it shaped the annunciation narrative in Luke, the Synoptic trial narratives, the resurrection event (an apocalyptic moment) and the Olivet prophecy. The destruction of the Second Temple by Rome predicted in the Olivet prophecy closes this period and confirms Christ as the replacement of the Second Temple. The measuring and revelation of the eschatological Temple in the Apocalypse completes the New Testaments treatment of Daniel's Temple-Atonement oriented theology.
