A Life of Alexander Campbell

History & Biography

“Douglas Foster successfully illuminates the real and seeming contradictions of this complex nineteenth-century leader’s inflexible teaching of baptism and the Holy Spirit, recognition of the genuine Christianity of persons who did not share his views, and relationships with persons whom he viewed as opponents or threats to his program to advance God’s coming reign of peace and justice that was to begin in the United States.”

A Lover’s Quarrel

Theology

“Joe Jones writes as he speaks, with passion and light. Addressing issues in church and society, along with probing reflections upon our lives as individuals and members of families, he invites his reader, often with arresting poignancy, to freshly and deeply consider the meaning of God's action in Jesus Christ.”

At the Blue Hole

History & Biography

“Jack Reese weaves a series of engaging tales to identify resources in the Stone-Campbell story for the rebirth of dying congregations. Though addressed to Churches of Christ, the resources identified are equally part of the shared story of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. Anyone who cares about the future of any of these churches would do well to read this book.”

Living in The Story

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“With helpful commentary on weekly readings from across the Old and New Testaments, Charlotte Coyle invites us to fresh and faithful encounters with the God who is still speaking. These chapters will open the hearts and minds of both experienced and beginning readers of Scripture.”

Why Call It God?

Science & Faith

“Recognizing that all language for God is metaphorical, Rabbi Mecklenburger shows how the concept that God is a person has become increasingly problematic, leading some persons away from faith. In its place, he offers a philosophical metaphor for God that he argues persuasively will allow persons troubled by the personal metaphor to believe that there is more to life than accident, that beyond life’s pleasures, and despite our obvious frailty and inevitable death, our lives do matter; that they have purpose and meaning. Persons acquainted with the Abrahamic faiths—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—will appreciate Mecklenburger’s attention to the relationship of his philosophical metaphor for God to the Hebrew Scriptures and contemporary religious practices.”
