A Theology of the Christian Life

Theology

“Many of the great Christian writers down the centuries have set out their theology using the language of ‘participation.’ Stressing that all things come from God, and that all things find their fulfilment in relation to God, this theology naturally integrates thought, practice, and a common life in the community of the church. Christopher Holmes inhabits this tradition deeply, naturally, and persuasively. His study is particularly notable for the degree to which he is as much at home with the text of the Scriptures as with the writings of the church fathers, Aquinas, or the Reformers.”

Being the Body of Christ in the Age of Management

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Being the Body of Christ in the Age of Management isn't just a critique of how the church thinks when it loses confidence in theology, nor is it only an excavation of the philosophy behind managerialism. It's a joyful meditation on the church as the body of Christ, with a life that's received from, animated by, and ordered towards God. The detailed analysis is meticulous, and the large-scale message could not be more timely.”

Christ Triumphant

Theology

“Robin Parry has done us a terrific service in producing this edition of Thomas Allin's most important work. He has opened up Christ Triumphant to a contemporary audience in a host of ways, not least with his introduction, his fresh typesetting, and his copious, helpful annotations. Christ Triumphant rejoins a burgeoning group of books that demonstrate that hope for universal salvation need not be taken as a departure from the theological tradition.”

Faith Beyond Fear

Preaching & Worship

“There is something exemplary about the way James Crockford finds a single theme for each of these sermons. He is steeped in the Christian tradition, but there is nothing stifling about his learning: he feels no urge to tell us everything he knows. Taken together, these sermons show that the Christian faith bears upon every topic: not so as to conquer it, but rather to illuminate it, and seek to make it whole.”

In the Footsteps of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“God took up what we share—‘the Word became flesh and dwelt among us’—but in a necessarily particular way: in a particular time, place, and maelstrom of cultures. Every fresh understanding of that brings a fresh understanding of the Gospels. Roy Lennox has condensed years of reading into this concise volume, offering us a remarkably accessible and efficient way into the first-century Palestinian scene.”

Liturgy, Theurgy, and Active Participation

Theology

“Kjetil Kringlebotten works skillfully between doctrine, history, prayer and worship, and the life of the church, all with an infectious enthusiasm. His book is wonderfully ecumenical and, indeed, also an excellent example of one of the church’s first, crucial interfaith exchanges with Neoplatonism. I heartily recommend Liturgy, Theurgy, and Active Participation to anyone wanting to explore the relation between liturgy and philosophical theology.”

On Classical Trinitarianism

Theology

“Matthew Barrett's remarkable collection shows evangelicalism getting its doctrinal house in order, but its importance also lies well outside evangelicalism as an ecumenical collection: in authorship, mood, method, and—most of all—common confession of the Nicene faith. Everything we could wish for is here in abundance: attention to the Bible, history, doctrine, texts, figures, and vocabulary. Like some collection of glorious music or poetry offered on the anniversary of a beloved monarch as a 'garland,' On Classical Trinitarianism is a magnificent garland in honor of the Nicene Creed after seventeen centuries.”

Stewards of God’s Delight

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Here is an account of ministry rooted in theology, not pragmatism, in God's gift rather than our plans, in abundance and in joy, not anxious assumptions of scarcity. With an eye on both the tradition and the work of the church today, in Stewards of God's Delight Mark Clavier proves to be a 'scribe trained for the kingdom': a steward who can bring out what is old and new from the treasure entrusted to him.”

The Beatitudes through the Ages

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The Sermon on the Mount lies at the heart of Christian thinking about how to live, as it has since the days of the early church. Rebekah Eklund tells the story of thoughts and actions inspired by these pages of Scripture down the ages, allowing authors both ancient and modern to become our companions as we seek to enter into these words of Jesus. She has done the church a great service in combining erudition, born of years of study, with such accessibility and clarity of expression.”

Things Seen and Unseen

Philosophy

“Things Seen and Unseen confirms the significance of Maurice Merleau-Ponty as one of the principal philosophical voices deserving contemporary theological attention. It also confirms Orion Edgar's significance as a voice in Christian philosophical theology. The Veritas series has its genesis in the Radical Orthodoxy movement and, since its beginnings, that movement has pointed to, and explored, the centrality of mediation to the Christian intellectual vision. This book is a further substantial contribution.”
