Book suggestion: Isaiah's New Exodus in Mark, Rikki E. Watts

Isaiah's New Exodus in Mark, Rikki E. Watts (Baker Academic)

Rikki E. Watts (Ph.D., Cambridge) is associate professor of New Testement at Regent College.

"This is a very important, ground breaking study on the Old Testament background to Mark's presentation of Jesus. From here on, no one should try to read Mark's narrative without taking into consideration how much the theme of the New Exodus in Isaiah influenced his understanding of Jesus and of Jesus' announcement of the coming of God's rule." -- Gordon D. Fee, Regent College

"An impressive example of biblical theology and of solid scholarship. Watts shows convincingly how Mark interprets Jewish tradition in light of the fulfillment of Isaianic prophecy." -- Martin Hengel, University of Tübingen

Isaiah's New Exodus in Mark, Rikki E. Watts (Baker Academic)

Now Rosie, we are talking[Y]. Just curious, why not all the books in the Bakers(Biblical Studies Series). I sure would love to have the rest not just Isaiah's New Exodus in Mark.

I wasn't familiar with any others of them, that's why! But you're right. They'd make a great collection in Logos. Here they all are (at least all the ones available on Amazon.com):

Isaiah's New Exodus in Mark (Biblical Studies Library), Rikki E. Watts (Baker, 2001)
Marriage as a Covenant: Biblical Law and Ethics as Developed from Malachi (Biblical Studies Library) by Gordon P. Hugenberger (Baker, 1994)
Blasphemy and Exaltation in Judaism: The Charge against Jesus in Mark 14:53-65 (Biblical Studies Library) by Darrell L. Bock (Baker, 2000)
Acts and the Isaianic New Exodus (Biblical Studies Library) by David W. Pao (Baker, 2002)
Jesus the Intercessor: Prayer and Christology in Luke-Acts (Biblical Studies Library) by David Michael Crump (Baker, 1999)
The Structure of Hebrews: A Text-Linguistic Analysis (Biblical Studies Library) by George H. Guthrie (Baker, 1998)
Paul, Scripture, and Ethics: A Study of 1 Corinthians 5-7 (Biblical Studies Library) by Brian S. Rosner (Baker, 1999(
The Descent of Christ: Ephesians 4:7-11 and Traditional Hebrew Imagery (Biblical Studies Library) by W. Hall Harris (Baker, 1998)

I'm not sure the Logos folks know what they've let loose by letting us put our book suggestions here on the Forum. I guess that's always been a possibility, but it seems like in the last few weeks we have been flooding them with more suggestions than they'd ever be able to handle in the next two decades! Well, they advertise Logos as being like having a complete seminary library on your computer, but I won't rest easy until they have my complete seminary library in their arsenal: "a growing collection of over 150,000 monographs, DVD, video and audiotapes, and over 450 periodical subscriptions." [OK, I can do without the DVDs, videos, and audiotapes; so that brings the number of monographs down somewhat...]

Thanks for the list & you are right on how Logos will cope with the volume of suggestion posters have unleashed over the last few weeks.

This post has been dead for a while, but I imagine I'm not alone in still longing to see Watts' book come to Logos!

Yes, I too would love to have Watts' book along with Pao's in my library.
