Approaching the Atonement

Theology

“Oliver Crisp's eagerly anticipated interpretation of the various options on atonement theology does not disappoint. Written in his usual clear style, Crisp distills the various options to their clear and distinct essence, while he identifies their respective tension points. His constructive account stresses the idea of union and participation with Christ, while collecting the best insights from the other views.”

Beholding the Triune God

Christian Living

“The doctrine of the inseparable operations of the Trinity is part of the deposit of the church’s ancient faith. Sadly, much of contemporary evangelical thought and preaching is drifting away from this historic doctrine, unflinchingly affirmed by the theologians of the Reformation, and substituting the church’s Trinitarian monotheism with a functional tritheism. The recent evangelical retrieval of this doctrine, while salutary, has not yet trickled down to the ordinary understanding of the faith. Emerson and Smith are proposing to meet that need and present inseparable operations in a way that is accessible and clearly biblical. One could not wish for a better team of Trinitarian theologians to undertake such an essential task.”

Classical Christian Doctrine

Theology

“Heine has provided the beginning student of theology with a reliable and readable guide to Nicene Christianity. This book will help cement the turn toward patristic orthodoxy that is taking place in evangelical thought.”

Dawn of Sunday

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Moving beyond pat answers and reductionistic attitudes, the authors demonstrate the resources of a Christian understanding of the Trinity for the church’s handling of trauma. Despite often failing their members, churches can and must have a positive role in healing. This book charts a practical course through what is often a very challenging pastoral terrain. It should be required reading for pastors and religious workers, as well as for anyone entrusted with the care of other souls.”

Light Unapproachable

Theology

“If man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him forever, as one catechism puts it, it would seem that knowledge of God should be possible. Yet, all the historic Christian traditions affirm the incomprehensibility of God. How is this possible? Ronni Kurtz has provided for us a masterful demonstration of how incomprehensibility must be accepted as a divine perfection and therefore as something extolling God's glory. This volume shows the implications of this attribute for the practice of theology itself, showing that the knowledge of God does not imply conceptual mastery.”

Lord Jesus Christ

Theology

“Neither merely iterating Christological commonplaces nor bedazzled by vogueish approaches, Treier’s introduction to Christology treads an ancient path. It knows where theological sap is to be found, namely in the theological exposition of Scripture itself. Without ever losing sight of contemporary challenges and applications, Treier focuses the vision of the reader on the main thing, teaching her the peculiar Christological language of Scripture. The result is a measured, wise, and deeply nourishing Christology.”

ReSourcing Theological Anthropology

Theology

“comprehensive Christological anthropology,” by which he means the normativity of the person of Jesus Christ for our understanding of human nature. Current on biblical scholarship, sensitive to contemporary issues such as gender, race, and sexuality, and exhibiting a remarkable analytical clarity, this is the perfect introduction to what is currently an exciting conversation in theology.”

Sanctification and the Life of Faith

Theology

“Like Doctor Who's TARDIS, this book is unassuming in its size but expansive and roomy on the inside. The whole life of faith is presented to us with such a depth of perspective, firmly anchored in the doctrine of the Trinity, and in such an inviting way, demystifying without domesticating a complex topic. Because sanctification is a work of God, understanding it requires a careful unpacking of the inexhaustible self-gift of God. The coauthors are expert guides, and this volume will be an excellent resource for students of theology and pastors alike.”

The Biblical Trinity

Theology

“This is an eminently usable guide and introduction to the biblical foundations for the doctrine of the Trinity.”

The Way of the Kenotic Christ

Theology

“Youngs helps to fill an unfortunate gap in Moltmann studies. He has given us a fair assessment of the German theologian's Christology, sorting through the plurality of interpretations and offering an interpretive key in the concept of kenosis. This is a clear, lucid, and eminently readable introduction.”

To Gaze upon God

Theology

“Much of evangelical theology languishes in a captivity to a pragmatist and naturalist understanding of the nature of salvation. Thankfully, significant efforts are underway to recover the doctrine of the beatific vision as the supernatural end of our faith. Parkison lends his convincing and balanced voice to these efforts, arguing that the beatific vision is central to the biblical notion of salvation and consistent with Protestant and Reformed priorities.”
