Language for God

Theology

“This book provides a thorough and accessible case for expansive and multifarious language and images for God. Weaving together personal narrative with a history of how we got here, alongside robust engagement in biblical and theological possibilities, Mary Streufert’s Language for God: A Lutheran Perspective is to Lutheran theology in the twenty-first century what Elizabeth Johnson’s She Who Is was to Catholic theology in the twentieth century. Grounded in the Lutheran tradition, this book is truly relevant for all people of faith, and for all those who have lost faith in the church’s ability to include them.”

Love Without Limits

Christian Living

“Like no other book, Love Without Limits gives graciously to my students, embodying a vision of Christian living and loving that successfully strains the bounds of traditions many of them inherit. Jacqueline Bussie’s voice connects like few authors I have taught in over twenty years in the undergraduate classroom. I have repeatedly witnessed this book’s transformative effects on learning minds and yearning hearts, and commend it to all who educate and who seek edification.”

Neighbor Love through Fearful Days

Christian Living

“Through fragments and stories captured as the world turned itself outside in, we feel the texture of a time and are called into an as-yet-undetermined future.”

Thinking Woman

Philosophy

“In style, form, and content, Thinking Woman is a text that matters. Jennifer Hockenbery Dragseth weaves together history, biography, analysis, and critique to present the impressive range of work by women philosophers on central questions of gender and our common humanity. This work's relevance to contemporary science, health care, religion, and politics is essential, making Dragseth herself a thinking woman to whom we must listen.”
