Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Theology

“The Gospel of Our King is a sheer delight. This is what happens when you bring together close attention to the Bible as a whole, worldview, and mission, just as they should be, with the overarching focus on the glory of God. Ashford and Thomas wear their considerable academic abilities in Bible, theology, and mission lightly in this creative, accessible, and eminently practical work. This is a book that we urgently need today, and my hope is that it will receive the wide reception it deserves. Take and read . . . and buy extra copies for friends!”

The Great Story and the Great Commission

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Chris Wright is one of a handful of authors about whom I tell my students to read everything they have written. Trained as an Old Testament scholar, Chris works across biblical studies and missiology, an exceptionally fertile crossroads and one that few have the skill set to execute as well as he does. Chris has long thought, taught, and written about the issues he deals with in this book, and the reader is gifted with the results of all that hard work in comparatively short compass. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!”

The Hermeneutical Spirit

Theology

“Amos Yong is a prolific theologian and represents the fast-growing Pentecostal movement. In recent decades that growth has been accompanied by a major resurgence of Pentecostal theology, of which Yong is a key representative. In this wide-ranging and creative book, Yong brings his recent work into dialogue with the renaissance of theological interpretation. This renaissance and the explosion of Pentecostalism are both important developments of our time and thus their coalescence in this book is indeed welcome. Yong rightly sees that theological interpretation opens out onto all of life and it is gratifying to see the wide-range of topics addressed including family, children, science, sin, liberation theology, other religions, disability and sport! Leaning heavily on Acts 2 and Luke, Yong opens up a feast of interpretation, one which scholars of all Christian traditions will want to take note of, to learn from, and to engage in dialogue.”

The Mission of God

Evangelism & Missions

“Christopher Wright simply is one of our best scholars and writers today. His work on mission and missional readings of the Bible is peerless and vitally important. The Mission of God is a tour de force, and it is a delight to see it going into an updated second edition. This book deserves the widest possible reception and the closest study. It will enhance the mission of the church at this critical time.”

Women of the Gospels

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“I can think of few things that the contemporary church needs to recover as much as the ancient practice of lectio divina. In my view it is the primary mode by which we are to receive Scripture. The focus of this series is rightly on the biblical text itself, and the commentary and questions push us back to the text to listen for God’s address. My hope is that this well-written and accessible tool will assist readers in the practice of lectio divina.”
