California Dreaming

“As a resident of another border state, Texas, that is as much an idea as a place, I appreciate how California serves as a reflection in micro of what America itself can or should mean. This book inspires that sort of reflection and is, therefore, useful and of interest to anyone hoping to come to grips with questions of place and meaning in a postmodern era.”

Fundamentalists in the Public Square

History & Biography

“A solid and deft study that contributes to the new interpretive paradigm concerning fundamentalists and the public square. Trammel makes a compelling case that during the post-Scopes Roaring Twenties and beyond, fundamentalists never left the building.”

Let Men Be Free

History & Biography

“Working within the long tradition of scholar-pastors, Obie Tyler Todd shows in this well-researched and elegantly written book that from the earliest decades of US history, Baptists have been all over the place politically. There were patriots and loyalists, elitists and populists, (Jeffersonian) Republicans and Federalists, supporters of slavery and abolitionists, Christian nationalists and dissenting prophets, outsiders, insiders, and everything in between. This is a good read and a welcome contribution to Baptist history.”

Prisoner of Conscience

Theology

“"Galen Johnson has crafted a fresh and thoughtful interpretation of one of Christian history's more complex, controversial, and interesting figures. Johnson's research is exhaustive and his conclusions well reasoned. This book will make a significant contribution to Bunyan studies and may well set the tone of discussion for years to come.”

The Activist Impulse

History & Biography

“A significant collection of essays by seasoned scholars and new voices to the conversation. . . . This is a cutting-edge volume of scholarship on the intersection of Anabaptist and evangelical history, theology, and political theory.”
