Christian Ethics in Conversation

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The genius of this book is that it honors Don Shriver while honoring Union Theological Seminary. The man is extraordinary, and the institution is unique: ‘there simply is no place like it.’ Here that powerful combination comes alive. Shriver’s concerns for the church, for his country, and for the world are never in competition with each other, all captured by the overriding concern for justice. And the place he served is living testimony. A wonderful book.”

Preaching in Hitler's Shadow

History & Biography

“After his thorough and superb presentation of the historical context, Dean Stroud provides captivating examples of biblical preaching and prophetic witness by pastors of the Confessing Church in Nazi Germany. He leaves no doubt about the life-threatening crisis the Nazis presented to Germany and the church. Neither is there any doubt about the response of the prophets here brought to life. One is simply stunned by the courage of prophetic faithfulness and by the sheer power of the Word preached in persistent obedience and at enormous risk. Here are voices that cannot be stilled. . . . Preaching in Hitler's Shadow is simply a towering book. It will inform, provoke, unsettle, move, and inspire.”
