Baptist Sacramentalism 2

Theology

“I wish to offer a strong commendation to this international team of scholarly Baptist theologians who wish to convince us of the truth of evangelical sacramentalism. Sacraments exist because we are bodily creatures who know God in tangible and embodied ways, including church ordinances and also beyond them. This is a weighty theological tome, speaking to relevant issues, and characterized by impressive scholarly coverage.”

C. S. Lewis Francis Schaeffer

Apologetics

“Apologetics can create a climate for faith. Standing on the shoulders of giants like these, we can learn to tell the Story ever more beautifully and effectively.”

Christian Apologetics

Evangelism & Missions

“Geisler is extremely erudite, possessing an astonishing wealth of scholarly knowledge, and displays a remarkable gift of superb organization and clear analysis in laying out his material. . . . I consider Christian Apologetics the best textbook we have on behalf of conservative evangelical Christianity.”

Inspiration and Authority

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“If Achtemeier's book reaches that large body of Christians looking for a nonfundamentalistic doctrine of Scripture, it could play a major role in creating a framework for them. He comes across as possessing a deep love and respect for the Bible and for the Lord, and eager for people to place their minds and lives beneath its authority. He offers us in the end the doctrine of a covenantal Scripture given by God to his people for their edification and renewal, a dynamic document that can perform this service two thousand years after its completion, confronting us with God's Word for our situation, through the power of the Spirit. I am highly grateful for this book and recommend it highly to others.”

Light from the Christian East

Theology

“In a day when people look to the Far East for truth and light, Dr. Payton suggests that they consider the Christian East as well. This ancient tradition gets us away from the weary Catholic-Protestant split and opens up rich possibilities for fresh reflection. This book feeds one's soul and quickens one's intellect.”

More than a Symbol

Theology

“"In this book, Stanley Fowler breathes new life into the doctrine and practice of believer's baptism. He argues that, if there is a form of sacramentalism which we ought to reject, there is also a form of it which we ought to embrace.”

No Other Name

Theology

“Brilliantly crafted . . . a model of systematic, constructive theology. . . . John Sanders addresses an unresolved problem in evangelical theology, a problem having to do with the credibility of God's plan to save humanity. . . . Drawing on extensive research, Sanders has conducted a thorough, biblical, historical, and theological investigation of the issues. . . . The book leaves people free to choose what they should believe, but whatever one's position, no reader will fail to come away from reading it wiser and better informed. . . . Indispensable for the study of the final destiny of the unevangelized.”

The Depth of the Riches

Theology

“The problem of religious pluralism is transformed if there are multiple ends and not merely one. S. Mark Heim's Dante-like proposal, grounded in the Holy Trinity, enables one to hold fast to the unique saving role of Jesus Christ while also valuing the contribution of other faiths and approaching them with courtesy and respect. No one can say, having considered Heim's work, that the well of insight has gone dry in this important area of theology.”

The Faith of the Christian Church

Theology

“This is a theology text written with actual students in mind. Treating matters fundamental to life, the book is both accessible and substantial. An attractive introductory text.”

The Holy Spirit and the Renewal of All Things

Theology

“Beck gives us two books for the price of one. He builds on a detailed study of the Apostle's eschatological framework in pneumatology and allows it to absorb through interaction the numerous and rich flavours of Moltmann's own treatment of that very subject, which (I can say) results in something truly impressive.”

The Mosaic of Christian Belief

Theology

“What evangelicals have needed, according to Roger Olson, and what he has provided is a basic, relatively comprehensive, nontechnical, nonspeculative one-volume introduction to the Christian faith. The book offers a mediating and Arminian perspective within the broad evangelical tradtion which underlines both shared beliefs and real diversity. At a time of extreme opinion, it is a God-send.”

The Possibility of Salvation Among the Unevangelized

Theology

“"Wishing to do justice to the fullness of salvation in Jesus Christ as well as its finality, I placed a model of evangelical inclusivism on the table for discussion. I knew I was not the only evangelical who finds himself thinking that God's grace cannot be limited to the relatively few who, because of time and place, have had a chance to respond to the gospel. But at the same time my thesis is a controversial one, even though many evangelicals have held it over the centuries. In a painstaking critique, Daniel Strange has laid his axe to the root of the tree and provoked a more profound discussion. In doing so, he makes an important contribution.”

The Trinity, Creation and Pastoral Ministry

Theology

“Back to the future! Graham Buxton would have us reach back to the ancient image of a perichoresis in God in order to understand the dynamic world of both science and of faith. He contends that this language will provide pastoral workers with an effective conceptual instrument with which to engage scientists in genuine dialogue. It is a volume of constructive theology and truth telling designed to show that the God of healing care is also the God of quantum physics.”

The True Image

Theology

“A deeply learned and spiritually enriching book by a mature evangelical scholar that brings the doctrine of Christ and the human together at the point of the image of God. . . Hughes's skills as both a biblical scholar and a historical and systematic theologian are very evident in this work, which is his best book yet.”

Theological Notebook: Volume 5: 1993–2010

Theology

“"Reminiscent of the Pensees of Blaise Pascal . . . [Bloesch] offers the reader access into the dynamic thinking of one of the finest evangelical theologians of our time. . . . The sheer fecundity and creativity of his mind is dazzling.”

What Does it Mean to Be Saved?

Theology

“The essays in this volume helpfully suggest a broadening of the horizons of an evangelical doctrine of salvation. The book will help us not to trivialize the topic in merely private terms, without a holistic vision, but to give more attention to its this-worldly consequences.”
