Biblical and Pastoral Bridgework

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Bridgework offers readers a colorful tapestry of the ways biblical and pastoral theological methods enrich each other. Hopkins and Koppel have long been prominent voices in demonstrating that religious practitioners must engage their most sacred texts. Here they bring together several of today’s critical thinkers in extending this endeavor. This volume stretches the imaginations not only of biblical scholars and pastoral theologians, but of pastoral leaders, preachers, seminary students, and the religiously curious.”

Bild-ing a Memory Model of God

Science & Faith

“Theologian and neuroscientist Kwang-Jin Oh offers a compelling and unique call for recentering the body in Christian theology. Might the image of God find its place in embodied memories of God? Thoroughly theological and biblical, it is only in the last chapters that he offers a tantalizing glimpse into possible neuroscientific mechanisms of memory. Theologians grappling with the problem of dualism will find much to ponder; his extensive historical review and creative approach to science and theology will intrigue scientists and students alike.”

In Search of Self

Philosophy

“In Search of Self is a treasure of current cutting-edge thought about what it means to be a person. The volume's extensive scope, its rigorous scholarship, and its authors' range of disciplines position it as perhaps the best collection available today on this increasingly critical topic. Readers will find their own thoughts on the matter confirmed, questioned, provoked, and above all enriched by their encounters with this new text.”

Practicing the Promise

Preaching & Worship

“Good sermons speak to particular communities at particular times and in particular contexts; excellent sermons also point to enduring, timeless truths. Practicing the Promise convincingly demonstrates that present, past, and future can find common ground on Sunday mornings. Sermons preached over three and half decades still resonate today. Rich in biblical and historical background, they are models for both seasoned and aspiring preachers, as well as anyone seeking insight and inspiration in their Christian faith.”

Reviving Christian Humanism

Theology

“Don Browning once again draws on his encyclopedic knowledge of theology, psychology, cognitive and social neurosciences, and the law to illustrate the deep ways in which science and religion require each other. From the perspective of a decades-long career, he revisits his earlier observations of psychotherapy, marriage, and religious institutions and demonstrates the urgent need for a public philosophy for science and the mental health disciplines as well as for theology. The book is a must-read for clinicians, theologians, and all who are interested in the larger science and religion conversation.”
