Arts & Literature
“There is poetry and then there is poetry. Whitney Rio-Ross’s Birthmarks—right from the dedication—belongs in that latter category. Her poems are midrashic, attending with adoringly inquisitive and exquisitely irreverent attention to the bodies and stories of our biblical mothers, and reading these lines we cannot help but come aware of our own bodies and our own stories. This is the kind of attention that leaves a mark.”
Theology
“Contesting the Body of Christ shows us the church’s marks as living wounds, openings through which Christ’s passion flows into our traumatized world. In Werntz’s reading of twentieth-century ecclesiology, contestation emerges as an unexpected gift of the Spirit—not a symptom of disunity but a space opened for our sanctification. This is theology that bleeds and breathes, challenging us to see in our disagreements and struggles with change the beauty of a truth we do not possess but must continually offer through sacrifice and receive with thanksgiving.”
Theology
“Wright, like Jenson, clearly delights in the God revealed gloriously in Jesus Christ. And just for that reason, his reading of Jenson provides the framing and lighting needed to appreciate Jenson’s theology. Drawing attention to Jenson’s witness to the beautifully triune God, Wright has crafted a work beautiful in its own right.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Matthew Lynch's Flood and Fury is a shrewd book: modest but not timid, careful but not skittish, demanding but not onerous. From start to finish, Lynch faces, unflinchingly, the hardest, ugliest parts of the Scriptures. He sees how some of the questions these texts raise for us simply cannot be answered, at least not as we expect. But he also shows us why we can and should remain at the table, troubled as we are—because our Host, mysterious as he is, is unwaveringly good and the wisest of teachers.”
Christian Living
“This is a stormy book—dark, fierce, jolting. And really it is not about survival but about suffering and death—and just so about resurrection and the life of faith. Over and over from beginning to end, Jonathan Martin does all he can to remind us of the gospel’s deepest promise: our only hope is in letting ourselves be wrecked so we can sink into the depths of God’s unrelenting devotion to our good.”

In Accordance with the Scriptures
Theology
“These lectures, which will not let us see the key terms of the gospel—Adam, Christ, life, death, virgin, church—in any light other than that of the cross, not only indicate a remarkable new depth and clarity in Behr’s thought but also open a port of entry into the very heart of Christian theology, illuminating the wisdom and power of the Scriptures as they are unveiled by the death of Jesus Christ.”
Christian Living
“It’s hard to tell the truth about what we’ve suffered. It’s even harder to tell the truth in ways that awaken genuine hope (and not wishful thinking). But Mark Chironna has done that. Precisely because he hasn’t glossed over any of his pains, God’s goodness shines through every line.”
Theology
“This is a landmark work, an Ebenezer, a sobering, intoxicating reminder that our God is a living God, spry and afire, gentle but fearsome, faithful yet unpredictable. Like all good theology, it humbles us by moving us toward prayer, urging us, as St. Symeon the New Theologian did, to believe again that the experience of God is always possible for those who ask.”
Prophetic Integrity and the Elijah Legacy
Christian Living
“uncertainty, calling us back to the heart of our identity as the people of God and drawing us out into the deeper currents of the Spirit. Above all, this book reminds us that prophetic integrity is not found in easy assurances or displays of power but in the patience and compassion learned by abiding in the sufferings of Christ.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
Foreword
“I am glad that Joseph has written this book and that he is publishing it now. We need it, more than ever.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“'You can't read the Bible scared.' Richard Beck is dead right about that. But we can't find our courage alone. We need friends--witnesses we can trust, reliable guides who can show us how these not-safe texts might still be good for us. In The Book of Love, Beck offers just that kind of help. Writing with the candor and compassion born of hard-won confidence in God, he steadies us, heartening us for the risk we must take, assuring us that the darkness we fear in these words is, in truth, the hiding place of the Spirit--upper rooms already prepared for Christ to appear and eat with us.”
Theology
“Theological Theodicy is a richly textured and accessible exception to the rule of failed theodicies. Informed by the Catholic spiritual-doctrinal tradition and fired by Pentecostal sensibilities, Castelo faces troubling questions and refuses all premature resolutions. With humility and verve, he calls for spirited, virtuous embodiment of the gospel as counter-witness to the evils of this present age.”
