Here are 3 excellent books that will help contribute to your quest for good scholarship against liberal heresy.

Acts in its Hellenistic setting - Colin Hemer
Everything one could want to know about the historicity of Acts and then some. One reviewer calls this work a "tour de force" in NT scholarship

Ancient Orient and the Old Testament - K A Kitchen
This short easy read confronts JDEP scholarship. You will also enjoy Kitchen's humor. Written in 1966 but still very useful.

Interpreting the Parables - Craig Blomberg
Great book that reviews literary methodologies. Blomberg recognizes benefits of liberal methodology and how it works against them.
