A Faith Embracing All Creatures

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Far too often, serious concern for nonhuman animals is dismissed by well-meaning Christians--who otherwise might share such concerns--because of some remarkably consistent (and understandable) hesitations. For some decades now we have needed a resource that brought together experts to respectfully answer these concerns, and with this book we finally have this invaluable resource.”

Animals in Heaven?

Theology

“Let us welcome Fr. Martin to the tragically small club of serious Catholic authors who are taking these important issues seriously. And let us also hope and pray that many who read this book join us in taking these important issues seriously.”

Behaving in Public

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is an important book that can help Christian ethicists come out of our camps and engage the public without sacrificing theological integrity.”

Commonwealth and Covenant

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The challenge of promoting values beyond Western-style individual autonomy — but avoiding top-down oppression — is both a puzzle for academics and a broad social problem with real-world consequences. This most welcome book leverages an ancient and helpfully foreign concept — the biblical idea of covenant — to move beyond this paralyzing binary. The trajectory set by Marcia Pally, tightly argued and socially oriented, is one that many different kinds of people can and should support.”

In the Fray

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Gushee has become a singular voice in Christian ethics. As anyone reading this latest volume will see, he manages at once to be thickly theological, culturally aware, academically rigorous, unapologetically activist, and publicly effective. Rare is the thinker who is able pull off even two or three of these at the same time; but as this collection of essays demonstrates, Gushee's ability to do all five puts him in a class by himself.”

Moral Vision

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Moral theologians often struggle to find books for our classrooms. Some are too catechetical and therefore not sufficiently critical. Others sell out to secular culture and have little to no theological grounding. Still others have an undue focus on boundary or extreme cases or questions. Moral Vision avoids each of these pitfalls.”

The Abuse of Conscience

Theology

“What a delight! Levering, one of the most important theologians working today, has given us a magisterial book on one of today’s most important topics. Grounded in the past, the book is self-aware about how what it is doing is relevant for the future. Should be read by politically and theologically diverse audiences for years to come.”

The Sacredness of Human Life

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Today's political discourse artificially and problematically separates discussion of the dignity of the human person into 'social justice' and 'pro-life' approaches. But in this fantastic book David Gushee articulates how sacred Scripture and tradition offer a coherent and timely defense of the sacredness of life that refuses to accept this simplistic and polarizing binary. A dynamic, readable, and historically aware account of issues like war, abortion/infanticide, racism, biotechnology, and women's rights.”

To Die Well

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“It is a rare thing indeed when Catholic moral and spiritual concerns are combined with biological and clinical expertise. That happens quite dramatically in Dr. Doran's book, on a topic that is as relevant as could possibly be.”

Vegangelical

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book signals the end of an era in which the Bible has been selectively and erroneously used to justify how the world thinks about animals. A very diverse group of theologians and biblical scholars have been challenging this received wisdom in recent years, but King expertly connects their ideas to a much broader audience. Anyone who takes the Bible seriously as God’s Word will find themselves deeply challenged—and perhaps even brought closer to God—by wrestling with this book.”

Why Sunday Matters

Christian Living

“Our human natures require the Sabbath, which is why our Creator gave us this gift in the first place. Understanding what this means in the context of our current moment, in light of the signs of our very particular times, requires interpretation and discernment. Thank goodness for wise voices like Whitfield’s as they help us do precisely this.”
