The IVP December 2021 Releases

Following the publication of 'Forty Women' and 'Now and Not Yet' in November, we are delighted to share our December 2021 releases - an essential new book for preachers, and the first batch of the refreshed Old Testament volumes in the Bible Speaks Today series.

'There is Hope! Preaching at Funerals' is a new book from veteran pastor and IVP author Paul Beasley-Murray. Paul offers 20 sermons preached at very different funerals over his long ministry, as well as advice on exegeting and preaching the passages yourself. Whether you are just starting out in ministry, looking to widen and deepen what you preach at funerals, or 'just' looking for inspiration from the hope we have as Christians, 'There is Hope!' is a readable and practical book. It might even make the perfect Christmas gift, for any pastors/preachers/vicars in your family.

The first round of refreshed BST Old Testament volumes publishes this month, too:

The Message of Genesis 1-11 | The Message of Genesis 12-50
The Message of Exodus | The Message of Leviticus
The Message of Numbers | The Message of Deuteronomy
 The Message of Joshua | The Message of Judges

These reissues carefully and sensitively update these classic volumes, with the RSV being translated by the NIV, new typesetting, and a fresh new design. You can find out more about our ongoing refreshing of the BST series here, including a look at the related BST NIV Bible.
