When responding to the serpent's temptation to eat the forbidden fruit, Eve says that one "must not touch it" (Gen 3:2-3). In this , Eve appears to embellish upon God's clear command that one must not eat from the tree (Gen 2:17). Jeffrey J. Niehaus tackles this issue head on in When Did Eve Sin? Using Scripture to interpret Scripture and analyzing biblical stories where characters retell the narrative, Niehaus recognizes a common scriptural pattern that resolves the mystery of Eve's words. Everyone engaging with these questions will be defily guided by Niehaus's thorough study of this thorny issue. -- Back Cover.

Focusing on the Greek terms for righteousness in the New Testament, this volume provides a thorough exegetical analysis of their occurrences. It begins with a broad overview of the righteous word group and culminates in an exploration of God's righteousness and the righteousness of faith. Building on previous volumes, it emphasizes that righteousness reflects conformity to God's nature and actions, revealing significant insights for understanding justification within the New Testament context.

The collection explores the dual nature of memories as both gifts and burdens, capturing the essence of a nearly forgotten Florida paradise alongside reflections from colder regions. Each poem serves as an invitation, drawing readers into distinct emotional landscapes and experiences, blending vivid imagery with deeper contemplation.

The third of three volumes, this study explores the final and culminating special grace covenant: the new covenant. It examines new covenant formation, life under the new covenant, and eschatological fulfillment of the goals of the new covenant, which also fulfills the eschatological trajectory of all the divine-human covenants taken together in God's plan of redemption. Ancillary discussions include what the author calls a soft Arminian approach (which is explored and rejected) to foreknowledge and election, recognition that the new covenant is not, and cannot be, a renewal of the Old covenant, a proposal for understanding righteousness, throughout the Bible, as faithfulness to God's nature, with the resultant conclusion that God's own righteousness is his faithfulness to himself, and not merely his faithfulness to some product of his (such as the Old covenant), and a concluding amillennial understanding of the end times.
