Philosophy
“Beyond the Centaur is a brilliant, important book on the soul and body, historically and in Christian tradition, that weaves together mature scholarship and personal reflections on experiences of death and loss, love, and life.”
World Religions
“Yandell and Netland have produced a brilliant, clear, engaging introduction to Buddhism that is both sympathetic and critical, highlighting points of convergence with and divergence from Christianity. Their book would be excellent in university courses in philosophy of religion or religious studies, but it would also reward general readers interested in finding both a reliable philosophical guide toBuddhism as well an exploration of Buddhist teaching in relation to Christian faith.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Parry makes a compelling case for a dynamic, Christian ecological spirituality that can enrich and transform individuals and communities. His writing is lucid, backed by brilliant scholarship, and uses humor alongside developing provocative and profound insights. Wisest book I have read in decades.”
Apologetics
“Copan and Kelly have chosen a wonderful lineup of relevant topics in the forefront of contemporary discussions about Christianity. These include difficult objections to the Bible and Christianity, scientific and historical evidence supporting God’s existence and the truth of Christianity, and sex and gender hot button issues. Moreover, the editors have chosen excellent contributors to address each of these important topics. Highly recommended!” —Michael Licona, professor of New Testament studies, Houston Christian University “This is an extraordinary collection of vigorous essays defending Christianity against historical and contemporary objections. Especially recommended for critics of Christianity and open-minded inquirers.”
Philosophy
“Robert MacSwain’s book brings to light the profound Anglican contribution to theology and philosophy since the mid-twentieth century. It is erudite, engaging, based on thorough research, and includes his own insights on the relationship between faith and reason. Highly recommended to non-Anglicans and Anglicans, scholars and laypersons.”
Apologetics

Philosophy
“A large part of the world population believes in demons, angels, ghosts, and other supernatural forces, and yet very few philosophers have dared to develop a serious account of such beings. Guthrie’s Gods of this World is a brilliant, unique work offering a serious philosophical account of the demonic with analytical skill and excellent research.”
Science & Faith
“This is a superb collection of outstanding essays and critical exchanges that will enrich the debate surrounding dualist and materialist conceptions of persons. It is an exceptionally important work as the contributors each work to carefully engage each other and avoid the usual deliberated misunderstandings that can mar current philosophy of mind.”
Religious Experience and the Knowledge of God
World Religions
“A first-rate systematic defense of a theistic argument based on religious experience. It is fair-minded, balanced, and engages with historical and current objections. Highly recommended.”

“Weaving together substantial evidence and arguments from scientific, philosophical, and historical sources, Peter Williams presents a forceful case for Christian faith.

That's Just Your Interpretation
World Religions
“Paul Copan is a reliable, engaging, philosophically astute critic of contemporary philosophy and theology. He writes with clarity, force, and insight about the credibility of Christianity. He is as at home with challenging popular cultural misperceptions and critiques of Christianity as he is with addressing some of the most sophisticated and subtle scholarly debates.”
The Gospel in the Marketplace of Ideas
Apologetics
“Copan and Litwak have produced a brilliant book that sheds light on the dynamic, turbulent intellectual climate that Paul faced in ancient Athens. They demonstrate why Paul's teaching is as important and powerful in the twenty-first century as it was in the first century.”
Apologetics
Foreword
“Dickerson is one of the most gifted, clear-headed contemporary writers working on consciousness today. He has a command of the philosophical literature, a love for well-crafted, compelling arguments, and a matchless grasp of the deep wisdom that can be found in the work of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. His latest book is both an accessible introduction to central questions about human nature and a sustained, rigorous argument for recognizing the distinctive, overwhelming value of human persons.”
Philosophy
“The Prism of Truth offers a brilliant, erudite case for the importance of going beyond the natural and social sciences in order to explore the depth, power, and meaning of religious and secular narratives or myths (including Christian and Islamic traditions). Anthony O’Hear’s unrivaled expertise in philosophy of science, philosophy of art and literature, and the theory of values makes this book a mature, provocative contribution to our thinking about the nature and breadth of truth.”
Philosophy
“Johnson’s Understanding Morality is an accessible, clearly crafted, comprehensive work that understands moral systems as different roadmaps to human fulfillment. Written in nondogmatic terms, readers will engage in a wide scope of ideas about values—religious and secular, classical and contemporary.”
Arts & Literature
“The groundbreaking, provocative series The Chosen deserves groundbreaking, provocative analysis. The contributors to this volume have done just that. They have demonstrated how philosophy and theology can successfully enhance, enrich, and challenge us in our engaging this extraordinary series on Jesus of Nazareth. Essential reading.”
