"All Shall Be Well"

Theology

“Is universalism the heart of the gospel or an idea concocted by the 'devil' to desensitize human beings to the possibility of eternal damnation? The stakes could not be higher! This volume shows why many of the great theologians in the Christian tradition responded positively to the former question even as their engaging the arguments back-and-forth will equip readers to formulate their own answers to the latter and other associated rationales rejecting the universalist notion. For all booklovers, the riveting theological biographies in chapter after chapter will keep readers tuned in from start to finish to follow the twists and turns that have perennially characterized the quest to understand universal salvation and its implications.”

"Without Ceasing to Be a Christian"

World Religions

“Read this book if you want to better understand – both developmentally and analytically – one of the most significant thinkers of recent times, if you want to dive deeper into some of the most important Christological issues and debates of the present global era of encounter between religions, if you want to appreciate heretofore relatively unheard-of Roman Catholic and evangelical Protestant dialogue and interaction at a substantive level; usually one has to work through three volumes to attain these goals, but with what is held in your hands, you get at least three-for-the-price-of-one. “Without Ceasing to Be a Christian” is truly a theological feast!”

1-2 Peter, Jude

Theology

“Whereas existing pentecostal commentary series have been addressed to the growing pentecostal readership, volumes in the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament series bring pentecostal-charismatic perspectives to wider evangelical and ecumenical audiences, both ecclesial and academic. Each installment gets us one step closer to appreciating how every New Testament document was written not only after Easter but also after Pentecost, and the cumulative witness to the Word and the Spirit will enable deeper awareness of the fundamentally trinitarian character of Christian faith.”

A Biblical Study Guide for Equal Pulpits

Women

“A century after women’s suffrage, women still exist under a glass ceiling in American society, which is unfortunately still being scripturally justified within some ecclesial . . . communities. Hertig and her friends . . . help us see that the biblical message is even better news for women than the so-called gospel preached from predominantly male pulpits. Come, Holy Spirit—move afresh upon men and women, young and old, American and Asian—with a new Pentecost!”

A Man of the Church

History & Biography

“Those who long for substantive theological reflection will be edified and inspired by the craft manifest herein--a fitting and lasting legacy for this theologian of the church whose short time with us will nevertheless cast a long and brilliant shadow.”

A Theology of Hope

Theology

“Sang Yun Lee provides with this monograph the definitive theological apologetic for the ‘blessing theology’ of contemporary Korean Pentecostalism. . . .”

Acts

Theology

“Volumes in the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament series bring pentecostal-charismatic perspectives to wider evangelical and ecumenical audiences, both ecclesial and academic. Each installment gets us one step closer to appreciating how every New Testament document was written not only after Easter but also after Pentecost, and the cumulative witness to the Word and the Spirit will enable deeper awareness of the fundamentally trinitarian character of Christian faith.”

African American Theology

Theology

“African American Theology is a remarkable achievement. While a very helpful introduction to the field for students who need an initial orientation, it also succeeds in bridging evangelical-ecumenical impasses and in pushing the discussion forward in interdisciplinary, intercultural, and transcontinental directions. Ware is uniquely suited to thereby register the crucial contributions of this multifaceted African American theological tradition to the broader conversation.”

AI Goes to Church

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Here is an informed, wise, and pastoral resource, knowledgeable about the opportunities and challenges of AI, discerning about its potentialities and pitfalls, and attentive to the divine invitation to flourishing extended to frail human creatures. Todd Korpi is a sure guide for those seeking to understand and engage AI in the mid-2020s.”

All Things Wise and Wonderful

Science & Faith

“If you are realizing that much of life’s complexities cannot be easily answered on black-and-white terms but are not quite sure where to look, Janet Warren will be a sure guide. The wisdom we need exceeds the technical rationality that is useful for some things but cannot solve our big problems while such wisdom also provides us with a grounding to appreciate what is wondrous about God’s creation as we attend in faithfulness to the important things that matter in our various stations—this is the gift of All Things Wise and Wonderful that I commend to you!”

An African Pentecostal Hermeneutics

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“From one of the southern ends of the earth, Marius Nel provides a near exhaustive engagement with the existing literature on pentecostal hermeneutics—scholars should not miss out on the feast of extensive footnotes reaching from cover to cover!—and comes up with an almost comprehensive synthesis from a southern African perspective. What emerges is a reformulation of the classic this-is-that eschatological sensibility that bridges the scriptural text with the contemporary horizon, albeit in this case enriched with the orality and performativity characteristic of an authentically African pentecostal movement that itself stretches back, however complicatedly, to the early twentieth-century transnational and worldwide revival.”

An Imaginative Glimpse

Theology

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Approaching the World’s Religions, Volume 2

World Religions

“Robert Boyd's twenty years teaching philosophy and world religions and working with religious others in the community has generated a winsome evangelical understanding of other faiths, one that does not compromise scriptural commitments but yet embraces an equally biblical agnosticism regarding certain mysteries that are not meant to be resolved. Approaching the World's Religions insists, as the title suggests, on pressing forward amidst these ambiguities by loving our neighbors of any and no faith and asking the hard questions of life with them.”

At This Time

Discipleship & Christian Education

“The dialogues in At This Time are much needed in our time—a period fraught with intensifying culture wars and polarization within the church and the academy. Our conversation partners in this volume may not have been able to fully anticipate the current attacks on higher education and, by extension, graduate theological education, but Davis, Smith, and their colleagues—who are writing from a wide variety of ecclesial, ethnic, and cultural contexts—will be welcome companions for theological educators who need encouragement and wisdom in the work of theological formation for the second half of the 2020s.”

Beyond Dalit Theology

Theology

“Pulikottil writes not only on behalf of Dalits but as one convinced that Christian theology is true to its claims when it is fully public and socially transformative, so that what emerges is a theological method in action, exemplifying how the power of the gospel can and should make a difference in the real world.”

Beyond the Academy

Theology

“If two thousand years ago, diaspora Jews gathered from every nation under heaven on the streets of Jerusalem heard in their own languages about the wondrous works of God, today, ethnic Burmese Christians from across the small towns and rural villages of Myanmar’s countryside are declaring via their own accents not only about God’s saving deeds but also about Christian faith and discipleship in their pluralistic public square. Readers of the Third Evangelist’s sequel volume can now also listen in on the grassroots witness of the Southeast Asian church as scholar-practitioner David Moe’s second book resounds such to the ends of the earth.”

Called to Bless

Christian Living

“What does a Bapti-costal, Episco-matic, Presby-vangelical, Disciple of Christ, and Covenanted Follower of Jesus look or sound like? Perhaps a child of Abraham who has inherited the divine mandate of being a blessing to others, even indeed to the ends of the earth. Anyone seeking to make sense of their varied spiritual journey will find Robert Cornwall a sure guide and companion.”

Called to the Life of the Mind

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Mouw offers advice that is not only informative but also encouraging to evangelical scholars and those considering a scholarly vocation. Herein are sage virtues needed for the evangelical scholarly pursuit.”

Christ and the Common Life

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Luke Bretherton has been thinking hard about the polis, plurality/pluralism, and democratic citizenship for a long time. This erudite synthesis and expansion of [Bretherton’s] work over the last two decades brims with insights into essential and interrelated topics, such as secularity, toleration, economy, sovereignty, and populism. This book makes the case for democracy and establishes the framework for discussions in Christian political theology for the next quarter century.”

Christianity and Religious Diversity

Theology

“As one of the most respected evangelicals working in the philosophy of religion over the past two-plus decades, Harold Netland is attentive like few others to the challenges confronting Christian faith in a global context. His characteristically careful treatment and analysis in this book help us understand why Christian mission has to proceed with humility rather than triumphalistically in the present ferment.”
