Biblical and Theological Essays is an anthology of selected articles that appeared during the first five years of the Detroit Baptist Seminary Journal , an academic theological journal founded in 1996 by Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary. These timeless, thoroughly researched and documented writings by members of the DBTS faculty range from textual studies to ministry studies and include works that are on biblical and theological and historical subjects, as well. The editor, Dr. William W. Combs, academic dean and professor of New Testament, has been teaching at Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary since 1983 and holds the Th.D. degree from Grace Theological Seminary.

Subtitled “How to Find Hope When You’re Hurting,” the book provides real, raw, honest and hopeful conversation about suffering, loss and grief from a Christian perspective. The author is a seminary graduate as well as a trained counselor and educator, and the text of this 114-page gift-sized hardback reflects a solid underpinning of biblical truth and Trinitarian theology to its practical advice and keen insights. The book is endorsed by GriefShare, an organization which conducts Christ-centered grief support groups in thousands of communities.
