“As someone who came to know and appreciate Chip Conyers in the late 1980s, I could not be more pleased that Jacob Shatzer is helping extend his legacy in this fine volume. Conyers was not only an erudite scholar, but a great friend to his colleagues and an exceedingly kind person. He lived out his own theopolitical vision. May this book help evangelicals and others cultivate a more robust, irenic, and hopeful political imagination.”
An Introduction to Biblical Ethics
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“An Introduction to Biblical Ethics combines the winsome wisdom of Robertson McQuilkin, one of the sage professors of Christian ethics, with the penetrating rigor of Paul Copan, one of the premier thinkers of today. What could be better than this?”
History & Biography
“Bonhoeffer’s prescription for seminary training should only be followed if we want to see a generation of ministers characterized by faithfulness, courage, and community. Otherwise, we can continue in the same path we’re on, where pastors learn to be entertainers, life-coaches, and pop-psychologists. Thank God that during this current revival of interest in Bonhoeffer, Paul House had the wisdom to focus on what Bonhoeffer knew best and did so very well.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
Foreword
“Ioan Veres is at the cutting edge of thinking theologically about the use of carebots. In this volume he provides us with a helpful introduction to carebot technology, a framework for thinking about patients as persons, and insight into the helpful ways robots may be used in the hospital setting. At the same time, he warns that without thoughtful reflection and appropriate application, the use of robots in direct patient clinical care may violate the first principle of medical ethics, primum non nocere (first, do no harm).”
Eugenics and Protestant Social Reform
History & Biography
“In Eugenics and Protestant Social Reform, Dennis Durst documents what happened when bad science and bad theology colluded to create the social monster that was the American and British eugenics movements of the early twentieth century. We who live in the twenty-first century must resist the power and subtlety of emerging biomedical and biotechnological developments that tempt us to embrace a new eugenics. Durst's penetrating analysis can help us avoid repeating the past, if we have ears to hear and eyes to see.”
Christian Living
“A true gem! This one-of-a-kind book is written by two masters of their craft: a fashion designer and a systematic theologian who also happen to be wife and husband. From Coco Chanel to Abraham Kuyper and from Francis Shaeffer to Karl Lagerfeld, this is a masterpiece of theological integration and cultural engagement. We have needed this tour de force for a long time. May it never go out of fashion!”
Theology
“An old saw claims that some people are so heavenly minded they are of no earthly good. But today most Christians seem to be so earthly minded they are of no heavenly good. In this delightful volume, Graham Cole overcomes this eclipse of heaven by masterfully rehearsing God’s grand plan to glorify himself and pastorally reminding us that our chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.”
Lost in Wonder, Love, and Praise
Arts & Literature
“The theological world tends to be very prosaic, so it is refreshing to read the poetry of a faithful Christian hymnist whose craft is informed by biblical truth rather than maudlin sentimentality. I know from personal experience that Justin Wainscott weaves the great hymns of the faith into his preaching each week. And I know that if you prick him, he will bleed the language of those hymns. Having had the privilege of singing some of my pastor’s hymns in worship, it’s a special delight to have this collection for devotional reading and singing. I also commend them to the churches for public worship.”
Theology
“We live in an age in which people have largely forgotten how to think. They emote, they assert, and they yell; but one of the most powerful human goods—our rational capacity—has atrophied for lack of use. Our superintelligent, suprarational God has given us intellectual gifts to navigate the world, and it’s high time we recover how we are to use them. In this much-needed volume, Vern Poythress helps us to be rational without being rationalists and reasonable without forfeiting our affections. As a mathematician, theologian, and New Testament scholar, there is no one better equipped to help us redeem reason than Poythress.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“Brutally honest, eminently practical, and wonderfully snarky, this book might save your teaching career, your joy in your vocational calling, and even your marriage. It is a true masterpiece of personal, pedagogical, and professional wisdom. I wish I'd had this volume before I completed my graduate degrees. I would have been much healthier, happier, and productive. Read this from cover to cover immediately, and then month-to-month starting before the-month-that-shall-not-be named. Join the company of Eager Biebers!”
Christian Living
“Graham Cole has enviable gifts of clarity and wisdom, combined with an ability to identify significant themes in theology. Theological Method is as fresh, bright, and crisp as a sun-drenched spring morning. It is as helpful for connecting the dots in Christian discipleship in the church as it is for pastoral formation in the seminary context. It is profound in its simplicity.”
Christian Living
“Thy Will Be Done is not a volume of unbending legalism, but a mature meditation on the grace of law in the Ten Commandments by a seasoned servant of Christ. Meilaender helps us better appreciate the bonds of love that unite us to God, life, family, marriage, and one another. Read this with an open heart and you'll be richly rewarded.”
Transhumanism and the Image of God
Science & Faith
“During the remainder of this century we will increasingly have the potential to alter the future, not just of individuals, but of the entire human species. Genetic augmentation, artificial intelligence, robotics, and other technologies will either serve a truly human future or human beings will serve those technologies. According to many tranhumanists, we are transitional humans on our way to becoming posthuman. So transhumanism offers a vision of a future in which we have the freedom to escape our humanity altogether. Jacob Shatzer—a new and refreshing voice in the conversation—provides cogent analyses of the transhumanist impulse and important practical strategies for preserving our humanity against the so-called technological imperative. Nothing less than our very humanity is at stake.”
War, Peace, and Violence: Four Christian Views
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Key to understanding one's own views on a subject is the requirement that one charitably considers legitimate alternatives. These four authors reliably map the terrain on war, peace, and violence in a way that will help readers sort out their own views on these perennial topics. Alas, given the tragic state of our fallen world, this is a much-needed volume.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Ethical violations--especially in professional athletics--have made many of us cynical about the possibility of preserving the morality of sport. Well Played is a refreshing reminder that sport can be an expression of human dignity and the love of the game, rather than a vicious arena for personal aggrandizement. Michael Shafer is to be commended for bringing theological categories to bear on the nature of sport in a readable, helpful, and interesting way. This makes him the MVP of sport ethicists!”
What the Bible Says about Abortion, Euthanasia, and End-of-Life Medical Decisions
Christian Living
“Wayne Grudem has faithfully offered a biblical-theological groundwork for making some of the most difficult decisions at the edges of life—its beginning and end. How does one who is committed to the sanctity of every human life approach questions about abortion, euthanasia, and other end-of-life issues? Digest this book to find out.”
Christian Living
“If you have ever struggled with depression, despair, and confusion, if you’ve ever questioned whether your life matters—or whether anything matters at all—this book is for you. From the crucible of personal experience, Michael Sherrard tells us how he and his family have dealt with soul-searing pain and how the presence of God provides hope and meaning in the face of the realities of living in a fallen world. Here is truth, hope, meaning, and a reminder of why it all matters.”
