American Christian Nationalism

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Michael W. Austin’s American Christian Nationalism is not merely another condemnation of Christian nationalism—although it certainly offers compelling biblical, theological, and political arguments to show why Christian nationalists misread scripture and misunderstand American values. But it also suggests a thoughtful alternative form of faith-based political engagement that is Christ-centered, compassionate, and pluralistic, and that places a primacy on Christian virtues rather than political power. For Christians who are dismayed by the contemporary state of American politics, Austin offers a hopeful vision that draws on the best insights from the prophetic Christian politics of the past and applies them to our pluralistic context today.”

American Heresy

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is a book that will make those of us who are white, Christian, and American uncomfortable, but it's a necessary discomfort that comes from examining the complexity of the past. John Fanestil has marshaled impressive historical evidence to show that Christian heresy and Christian truth were more deeply intertwined in the thinking of the American founders than we might have assumed, and that American Christians today--whether conservative or progressive--are more strongly affected by this legacy than most of us realize.”

Evangelicals and Abortion

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“J. Cameron Fraser’s experience as a Reformed evangelical pastor outside of the United States has given him an intriguing, theologically informed, biblically based perspective on abortion that American Christians need to hear. His thoughtful arguments for a nuanced pro-life approach, along with his critiques of all sides in this debate, will surprise and intrigue readers who are looking for an alternative to culture-war rhetoric.”

Skipping School

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Dixie Dillon Lane’s Skipping School is a sympathetic and balanced history of homeschooling that recognizes the movement’s diversity and avoids simplistic caricatures. Lane explains why so many parents both in the past and present have wanted to homeschool their children—and how, in making that choice in such large numbers, they have transformed the meaning of home education. This book is ideal not only for parents who are homeschooling (or thinking about homeschooling) but also for anyone who wants to better understand this movement on its own terms and make sense of its impact on the next generation.”

The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism

History & Biography

“Daniel Hummel has written the best and most comprehensive history of dispensationalist theology currently in existence. Combining impressive historical research with an exceptionally nuanced attention to theological developments, Hummel’s work offers a detailed, engagingly written historical survey of a movement that is often mentioned in studies of evangelical politics but rarely understood on its own terms. This is the book for people who want to go beyond the headlines to understand the long historical trajectory of the most influential end-times theology in American evangelicalism.”
