George Knight has produced a very fluent and readable commentary on these important chapters of the book of Isaiah, which, more than any other part of the Old Testament, anticipate the Cross of Christ. By concentrating on the theological issues that are raised and by adopting a non-technical style of presentation, Knight introduces the reader to some of the leading motifs of biblical theology. In view of the complex questions which relate to the structure and unity of the book of Isaiah, I believe that all who share an evangelical faith and who have regard for the theological importance of the Old Testament will find this commentary rewarding and enriching." -- R.E.

Ellen Whites writings are important, but they are only part of the story. The other part is the social and intellectual context in which she wrote. What was her world like? What problems did it face? What ideas were in vogue? What religious movements did she interact with? How did her ideas relate to the sentiments of other reformers of her day?These and other questions stand at the heart of George R. Knights third volume in his series on Ellen White. The genius of Ellen Whites World is that it combines photographs with verbal descriptions to make Ellen Whites world come alive for the modern reader.
Do the ancient rules and regulations of Leviticus have anything to say to Christians today? In this compelling examination of Leviticus, George A.F. Knight demonstrates the validity and importance of this book for our faith. "We discover in Leviticus," writes Knight, "the meaning of the atonement, the meaning of holiness, the meaning of priestly representation, the true significance of the Sabbath.... The theology that we meet within the book of Leviticus must necessarily continue to apply to the life of the Church ... simply because it applies to the life and work of Christ himself." Book jacket.
Isaiah' provides us with a picture," writes George A.F. Knight, "a pattern of revelation, hewn out of the facts of history." In this book, Knight focuses primarily on the theological themes of each chapter of Isaiah 56-66, with appropriate attention to significant critical issues.
With due attention to historical and literary issues, the authors explore the theological contributions of two books unique among the Old Testament canon. Offering fresh perspectives for the book's message and setting, George A. F. Knight depicts The Song of Songs as a book about God and his plan of redemption for the world -- a revelation of the love of God. Friedemann W. Golka presents the book of Jonah as a masterpiece of Hebrew narrative art, a multidimensional account which through skillful use of irony and satire demonstrates the divine privilege of mercy for all living beings.

APART from strictly devotional books, a large proportion of the practical Christian literature of the day concerns itself rather with the outer manifestations of the Christian life than with its inner experiences. The Christian as he moves among men is in view, rather than the Christian as he is alone with God. Books of this class are invaluable helps to Christian living, and can hardly be multiplied too much. But, along with these, there may be some room for books of another class, books dealing specially with the inner soul-experiences which vitalise the life that is seen. This volume is meant to be of such a kind: to set forth in some degree the sacred privilege of secret fellowship with God, and to urge the need of making that intercourse with Him more frequent and more prolonged. If it helps any reader of it to realise more fully the joy to be found in the secret place of meditation and prayer, its purpose will be fulfilled.
