Ryan Lambert's kind words about "Born Again to a Living Hope" mean a lot to me. I'm a big fan of the work he's doing through the Bridge Builders Forum:

"Few commentaries succeed in combining rigorous research with cutting-edge scholarship while also encouraging the reader's faith. David Wilber's commentary on 1 Peter achieves this balance, prompting us to consider the text carefully in its original context and reflect on its meaning for our time."
—Ryan C. Lambert, director of the Bridge Builders Forum and author of The Weird Apostle

Deeply grateful for these encouraging words from my dear friend Dr. Matthew Nappier regarding my commentary on 1 Peter:

"David Wilber's commentary on 1 Peter is a rare and valuable achievement. As a scholar who teaches and preaches both the Old and New Testaments, I can attest that 1 Peter is a crucial, and often misunderstood, bridge between them. To read Peter well, one must read the Tanakh well. Wilber navigates this territory with impressive skill and theological clarity.

He masterfully avoids the common pitfall of supersessionism, demonstrating that Peter's message is not one of Israel's replacement but of the nations' inclusion into Israel's story and covenants. Wilber's Pronomian (Torah-positive) framework is a particular strength. His exegesis of the 'holiness' command (1 Pet. 1:16) is rightly grounded in its original Levitical context, and his handling of the 'royal priesthood' (1 Pet. 2:9) correctly connects it to God's promises of restoration. This is a commentary that takes the Hebrew Scriptures as seriously as Peter did.

Combining solid academic arguments, like his robust defense of Petrine authorship, with warm, practical application, Wilber has created a resource that is at once deep and accessible. Born Again to a Living Hope is a vital contribution for pastors, students, and laypeople, and it will be a welcome guide for any believer seeking to understand this foundational epistle."

Sat down with Jonathan A. Brown, the author of "The Law an the Promise: A Pronomian Pocket Guide to Galatians 3–4."

Is the Law contrary to God’s promise? According to Paul in Galatians 3:21, the answer is no. However, many Christians interpret Paul’s letter to the Galatians in the exact opposite way. Galatians is often regarded as the definitive rejection of Torah observance for believers. But is that view bi...

New book from Pronomian Publishing!

Is the Law contrary to God’s promise? Although Paul clearly states in Galatians 3:21 that it is not, many Christians throughout history have interpreted Paul’s position on the Law in the exact opposite way. Perhaps more than any other, Paul’s letter to the Galatians is often regarded as the definitive rejection of Torah observance for believers—Christianity’s “declaration of independence from slavery to the Law.” This interpretation positions Law and grace as fundamentally opposed to each other: for grace to reign, Law must resign. But is that view actually biblical?

In this short book, Jonathan A. Brown challenges this centuries-old consensus by taking Paul’s own emphatic answer seriously: “Far from it!” Through careful exegesis of Galatians 3 and 4, Brown argues that the apostle never intended to pit Torah against grace, but rather sought to clarify their distinct and complementary roles in God's redemptive plan. Drawing on his background in the biblical languages and years of teaching through Galatians, Brown offers a fresh perspective that harmonizes Paul’s apparent contradictions about the Law while maintaining the centrality of justification by faith. This work invites believers to move beyond the false dichotomy of Law versus grace and discover how both work together in God’s unified plan of redemption.

"This book is an essential read for any serious student of Scripture seeking to understand the biblical balance of freedom and responsibility in Messiah." —Matthew Nappier, Ph.D.

When Messiah Yeshua told his disciples, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15), what exactly did he mean? Was he referring only to the commandment to love, only to the teachings given during his earthly ministry, or also to the commandments found in the Torah? "Love and the Law: A Pronomian Pocket Guide to John 14:15" tackles this question by examining the verse in its immediate context, exploring parallel passages in the Johannine Literature, clearly defining the Greek terms used in the verse, and maintaining a high view of bibliology.

In this short book, Dr. Benjamin Szumskyj challenges the traditional interpretations of John 14:15 and encourages readers to consider a pronomian (pro-Law) perspective. With a commitment to exegetical consistency and the continuity of Scripture, this work invites believers to reexamine what it truly means to love Yeshua by doing his commandments—from Mt. Sinai to the closing of the canon.

Did God revoke his food laws? Did he abolish the distinction between clean and unclean animals? Many argue that he did based on Peter’s vision in Acts chapter 10. However, recent scholarship is challenging that interpretation. In his new book, Whom God Has Made Clean: A Pronomian Pocket Guide to A...
