Encountering Jesus in Revelation

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Ben Boeckel has paused to look backwards into the story of Israel and specifically the Shepherd of Hermas to help us read the Revelation rightly. This grounding helps me discern the current world in ways that are faithful to the biblical texts. The next time I preach from the last book of the Bible, this will be the first book I reach for.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“My friend Kendall Conger has been living with the Gospel of John. He invites us into a running narrative of this remarkable text which deepens our understanding of the God we come to know through Jesus. The book centers on John’s Gospel as a sign pointing to and through Jesus to a deeper life of faith. Enjoy!”

Holiness and Ecclesiology in the New Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Rather than lowering a single definition of holiness onto the texts of the New Testament, the authors of Holiness and Ecclesiology in the New Testament have allowed each biblical writer and context to offer its own contribution. As a result, the church is called to embody holiness in each unique situation. From Jewish purity systems to ritual cleaning to circumcision to idolatrous feasts to sexual practices to empire protest, the church is called to experience and express the holiness of God as her guiding narrative and defining characteristic. The corporate understanding of ecclesial holiness found in this book will challenge those who have gone looking for proof texts to prop up a one-two sermonic punch of personal experience. Favorite texts will need to be reconsidered in light of the broader call of the people of God to holiness . . . which will make us not less holy but more publicly holy, more body-practiced holy, more engaged-with-the-world holy. The stories of Israel and Jesus remain the dominant narratives that shape the church, and the triune God remains the central character in a narrative of self-emptying, cruciform love. This expression of the holy God sends the church to the margins of the world where people need justice, compassion, mercy, and peace. This is a new book on my preaching shelf.”

Holiness and the Missio Dei

Theology

“In a cultural context of conquest and power, the people of God live oddly as followers of the crucified Jesus. Andy Johnson compellingly reminds us of our calling. The mission of God is unachievable apart from the way of Jesus. It is high time we embraced this.”

Holy Fire Fell

Preaching & Worship

“Maybe it is time to ask how worship took shape in our tribe (Wesleyans) and what a dead man named John Wesley might have to contribute to the current conversation. Dirk Ellis has done the faithful work of a church historian and theologian to allow this conversation to occur. I trust that as you read this, you will hear the wisdom of history as we invent tomorrow.”

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Two friends have written a book. Their theology of church resurrection is solid theology. Their wisdom is solid trench wisdom. Their love for the church is true love. I commend this to you if you dare to believe that the bones of tired churches can live again.”
