As It Is Written and Intended

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Yuh has written a short, accessible introduction to a redemptive-historical approach to Scripture which highlights its organic coherence and its culmination in the person of Jesus Christ, especially his death and resurrection. The argument is illuminated by numerous helpful diagrams and charts, and it outlines a hermeneutical approach which—in my opinion—is likely to be especially fruitful for devotional reading and Christocentric preaching. Though based on solid scholarship, it communicates effectively to a broad audience and is provided with useful ‘questions for reflection and prayer.’”

Becoming Worldly Saints

Christian Living

“I found Michael Wittmer’s book an absolute delight. It is well-written, it is easy to understand, and it sometimes made me laugh out loud. But more importantly, it is wise, balanced, thoroughly biblical, passionate for Christ and the gospel, and outlines a broad, liberating, and life-affirming perspective that is badly needed in the world today. Furthermore, it is rooted in sound scholarship and wide reading. This is popular theology at its best. I recommend it enthusiastically.”

Covenantal Biomedical Ethics for Contemporary Medicine

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Rusthoven writes as both a long-term medical practitioner and someone with impressive credentials in the philosophical, theological, and historical dimensions of bioethics. He brings his considerable experience and broad knowledge of the bioethical literature to bear on a unique proposal for reorienting the field in the light of the key biblical category of covenant. I find his work altogether admirable.”

Ecclesiastes

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Bartholomew’s commentary is an extraordinary achievement, in many ways a unique contribution to the vast literature on this enigmatic biblical book. It combines an intimate knowledge of the biblical text and the secondary literature on it with a passionate commitment to reading the text as Scripture, that is, the living voice of God to believers today. In addition, Bartholomew brings to his commentary a wide knowledge of the history of interpretation and of the hermeneutical issues involved in the appropriation of Ecclesiastes for today. Beyond these excellences, however, he also brings a prophetic awareness of the cultural and religious challenges facing the worldwide church today, and he is not afraid to make direct connections from the biblical text to the personal and global crises of our times. Rarely has the Preacher been made so preachable.”

Living at the Crossroads

Christian Living

“Living at the Crossroads is a landmark book. It is informed by wide and deep scholarship and motivated by a radical and passionate commitment to a missional understanding of the gospel in its relationship to contemporary Western culture. Though dealing with some of the seminal issues of Western (and now global) history and civilization, it is written in an engaging and accessible style. I predict that this profoundly biblical book will become a lodestar for a new generation of Christians worldwide who are serious about faithfully engaging culture in the name of Jesus Christ.”

Shaping a Digital World

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Schuurman's book is a rare jewel: rare because it is unusual to find genuinely helpful and insightful material on a Christian approach to computer science, a jewel because the author combines impeccable credentials as an engineer with wide reading in history, theology and philosophy to produce a readable and insightful treatment of the topic. I recommend it highly.”

The Lordship of Christ

Theology

“For anyone looking for a clear, accessible, and biblically sound introduction to the kingship of Christ as understood in the Kuyperian strain of the Reformed tradition, this is the book that fills the bill. What makes the Kuyperian understanding of the kingdom so attractive to many is that it calls Christians to be active in every sphere of society and culture (not least the academy), and this book does an excellent job of illustrating the cultural claims of Christ’s rule. At the same time, Poythress is careful to highlight some of the potential pitfalls of such an emphasis on Christian cultural engagement. One of the book’s strengths is its liberal use of pertinent Bible texts to illustrate its points, without falling into facile proof-texting. An added bonus is that the book includes an extensive appendix in which the author enters into dialogue with the proponents of so-called ‘two kingdoms’ theology, where in a non-polemical way he points out some of the conceptual confusions that have too often bedeviled the discussion around this topic.”

Worldview

Philosophy

“David Naugle's book on worldview is a tour de force. Not only does it give a competent and illuminating survey of the history of the concept and illustrate its widespread contemporary use in a number of academic disciplines, but it also provides an eloquent and theologically well-founded defense of the concept's importance for a culturally engaged Christianity today. The book combines easy readability with an impressive grasp of a wide range of academic disciplines, most notably history, philosophy, and theology. In my view this is now the best book available on a key category of post-Kantian intellectual discourse. It is also an outstanding example of what George Marsden has called 'the outrageous idea of Christian scholarship.'”
