Here’s a book that should probably be on every serious Bible teacher’s bookshelf, and on very few church bookstands. Let me briefly explain.
Gupta is an academic theologian of some distinction, Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary, and is the author of many books including Tell Her Story (with which I radically differ, but have profited from) and what is arguably the best technical commentary on 1 Thessalonians.
