InterVarsity Press Books discussion

I use the BST commentary set quite a lot, and there are only a few remaining Old Testament books not yet covered. Is there a timeline for the release of the last few in the OT series?

Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill,

That's a great question. The BST series has come much more slowly than we originally anticipated. There are only four volumes left of the OT books, which are Joshua, Lamentations, Malachi and Kings. Right now the first three have not been scheduled for a definite time of publication.

The next two volumes of the series are both themes. The Message of Sonship will be released in October and The Message of the Word of God will be released in December. The Message of Kings is scheduled for January of 2012.

Our tentative estimate for completion of the entire series is 2015. Other volumes expected are themes on the 2nd Coming of Christ, Person of Christ, Church, Humanity and Scripture.

I apologize for the inconvenience of waiting all this time. Thank you for your interest in this series. I hope this answers your question, but please let me know if you need any other info!

Thanks Leah, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I'm glad to hear Kings is in the pipeline. Can you possibly tell me who is authoring the Kings commentary (and the other 3 OT, if they have reached that stage)?

Hi Bill,

Yes, the author for The Message of Kings will be John W. Olley who is a research associate at Vose Seminary in Australia where he was formally principal.
