Calvinism and Middle Knowledge

Theology

“The significance of this book goes beyond what one might infer from its title. Brilliant in content, readable in style, and gracious in tone, this edited volume even-handedly examines the philosophical vitality and the theological possibilities and concerns of middle knowledge when brought into conversation with other important theological issues. Well done.”

Determined to Believe?

Theology

“John Lennox, one of today’s finest evangelical minds, treats the reader to a well-argued position on this controversial contemporary debate among evangelicals. Scriptural in content, philosophical in argument, comprehensive in scope, and irenic in tone, it rescues the debate from much of partisan rhetoric so often found in books on the same subject. Finally, a book that avoids a proof-texting approach placing the discussion in the context of the entire Judeo–Christian narrative crafted with exegetical integrity and intellectual rigor. Reading it is like having a stimulating conversation with a good friend.”

God, Time, and the Incarnation

Theology

“The important discussion regarding God and time continues to occupy the attention of philosophers and theologians alike. Dr. Holland's refreshing treatment of this subject makes a major as well as unique contribution to the discussion by considering the subject from the perspective of the Incarnation and Session of Jesus Christ. Superbly written, cogently argued, and biblically situated, this book deserves the attention of all who are engaged or will be engaged in this discussion.”

Luis de Molina

Theology

“While others have brought clarity to the discussion of middle knowledge, MacGregor has given us the most comprehensive treatment to date of Molina and his formulation of middle knowledge. Masterfully woven into the story of the life and times of Molina, he judicially places the development of middle knowledge within the larger theological and philosophical context of the day. Impeccably researched and skillfully written. More than a history, it is theologically informative, intellectually refreshing, and spiritually encouraging as MacGregor details the theological explanatory power of middle knowledge. An absolute must-read for the serious student of theology.”

Natural Theology and the Problem of Evil

Philosophy

“Focusing on explanation rather than justification with respect to God and the problem of evil, Dr. Steven Lewis offers an argument predicated on a Thomistic view of natural theology. This book makes a substantive contribution strengthening the theists’ claim that the existence of evil does not defeat the claim that the Christian God exists.”

Neither Necessary nor Inevitable

Philosophy

“Udo Middelmann presents an impressive and refreshing case for a view of human history that preserves the wonder of man as a true moral agent while affirming a biblical understanding of God as the providential One who works in time. This brilliant treatment deals with a difficult and often misunderstood subject of the relationship between man's choices and God's plan. Middelmann distinguishes himself by offering a compelling argument grounded in the notion of form and freedom that strikes a proper balance between God's purposes and man's freedom. He argues persuasively that man's free choices actually contribute to the shape of human history but always within the form of God's overall plan. Appreciatively, Middelmann does this while avoiding any notion of open theism. His intellectually rigorous treatment within this book makes history more than a piece of theater and yet avoids placing man in a chaotic world. The Christian community owes a great debt to Middelmann for his precision in thought and well-informed mind that has crafted this most important work.”

Unfriending Dystopia

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A brilliant introduction to social media that explains how it works behind the flashy screens. White, a recognized authority in the digital media world, provides a well-written, brief but informative book that highlights some of the dangers social media poses to users. He concludes with some reasonable ways for users to protect themselves from the dangers of its manipulation.”

Unintended Dystopia

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Writing with technological savvy, theological sensitivity, and commendable clarity, Russ White exposes how the invisible hand of digital technology subverts humanity and alters how reality is viewed. A must-read for living successfully beyond the technological forces at work in the fourth Industrial Revolution.”
