Jesus the Everlasting Hope of Humankind

Theology

“Don Eckhart has devoted nearly twenty years to a critical question: who can hope to be saved? Shaped by both prophetic dreams and careful research, his answer is that God offers that hope to everyone, whether in this life or the next. His thorough and wide-ranging discussion is both insightful and spiritually sensitive. His arguments deserve consideration by anyone who wrestles with this question or ministers to those who do.”

Theology in the Flesh

Theology

“Theology in the Flesh breaks new ground by drawing upon cognitive linguistics to examine the way Christians think about theology and ethics—that is, not what we think about our faith and practice but how we think and why we think the way we do. Through an examination of cognitive models, conceptual metaphors, and cultural frames, John Sanders unpacks the language we use to think and speak about our faith. In so doing, he lays a foundation for new conversations characterized by greater self-awareness, clarity, and humility.”

Word-Spirit Communal Revelationalism

Theology

“This work is Barnhart’s expression of Brethren history and theology for a new generation. Besides its usefulness to the Brethren tradition, this book sheds light on Anabaptism and Evangelicalism at a time when both movements are receiving increasing attention and critique. The epistemology of Word and Spirit in Christian community should be appealing to anyone who wants to move beyond traditional polarities to embrace the full resources of the Christian faith.”
