2. Justification And Variegated Nomism. Volume I
The Complexities of Second Temple Judaism
A collaborative scholarly survey of Second Temple Jewish literature that tests the “covenantal nomism” thesis, this volume maps the diverse patterns of religion in Judaism, showing both grace-grounded covenantal themes and legalistic tendencies across different sources. It argues that no single model captures the complexity of Jewish beliefs and practices, challenging reductionist accounts and laying groundwork for reexamining Pauline justification in light of this diversity.

4. The God Who Is There
Finding Your Place in God's Story
A clear, concise defense of the Christian worldview that argues the biblical God provides the only coherent answer to the deepest intellectual and moral questions of our age. It surveys and critiques modern challenges such as secular humanism, scientism, and postmodern relativism, showing how they fall short in accounting for reason, meaning, and morality. Drawing on philosophical analysis and biblical exposition, the work demonstrates the unity and sufficiency of Scripture and calls Christians to think biblically and witness confidently in a skeptical culture.
