Lies My Preacher Told Me

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With the clarity, good humor, and wisdom that make him a superb teacher, Strawn names and skillfully dismantles, one by one, the most pervasive mistruths about the Old Testament among Christian believers.”

Not Wanting a Thing to Be the Thing

History & Biography

“In this remarkable stroke memoir, Dr. Mitzi Smith reflects on her struggle and survival through the lenses of intergenerational history, biblical texts, and medical realities. The result is a piercing and poignant fight story, an act of vulnerability and courage, and a generous sharing of hard-earned wisdom that will inspire and empower anyone who faces life-changing trauma.”

Real World Faith

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“For decades Walter Brueggemann has shown us how biblical texts speak potently to our individual and communal lives, our responsibilities to one another, and our care for the world around us. Real World Faith continues this urgent and prophetic work. Brueggemann demonstrates how faith in God transforms how we understand our physical and our social-political bodies and requires of us courageous and timely theological interpretation that is never settled, never static. Brueggemann urges us to "insist otherwise" that the Holy One matters--and matters decisively--in the world today.”

Tenacious Solidarity

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“With his characteristic skill and wisdom, Walter Brueggemann demonstrates again in this collection of recent essays the generative and transformative potentials of biblical texts to name and confront urgent challenges of our time. His interpretations model a compelling dialogue between biblical texts, interdisciplinary scholarship, and incisive contemporary social, political, and economic analyses. The result utterly captures the imagination, and urges and inspires the building of a far more welcoming, forgiving, generous, and sustainable future together.”
