David F. Watson
A Compact Guide to the Whole Bible
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Wall and Nienhuis have assembled a concise and readable guide to the Bible as Christian Scripture. This is not your typical historical and literary introduction but a guide to the Bible as the church’s sacred canon. It is an outstanding resource for learning to read the biblical texts theologically and a gift both to the church and to the academy.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Our fathers and mothers in the faith have left us a treasury of resources upon which to draw. . . . In this work born of his own searching, Brock Bingaman provides a readable guide to the wisdom of the Christian past, mining our rich heritage and reflecting on the insights of great teachers in ways that illuminate the Christian life today.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Black first sparked my scholarly interest in the Gospels decades ago when I was a master’s student in one of his classes. To this day I know of no better guide to these texts. Here he offers an introduction to the first three Gospels that is informed by high-level scholarship but is also accessible to non-specialists. In witty prose he walks the reader through the major themes of these texts, highlighting the distinctive ways each proclaims the Good News of Jesus Christ. If you’ve been looking for a measured, informed, and practical guide to the Synoptic Gospels, look no further. This is your book.”
Doctrine, Spirit, and Discipline
History & Biography
“With admirable attention to detail, Kevin Watson shows us the breadth and depth of the Wesleyan tradition. His narrative takes us from the founding of the Methodist movement to the conflicts and opportunities of the present day. I have no doubt this book will find a place among the most important resources for students and scholars of the Wesleyan tradition.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The work of New Testament scholars can be both fascinating and important, but also quite technical. Halcomb has written an accessible and engaging account of several of the key issues discussed among New Testament scholars today. I recommend this book for the clear and succinct ways in which it explains some interesting debates among biblical scholars, debates that have real significance within the life of the church.”
The Bible, Disability, and the Church
Theology
“Amos Yong is one of the finest theologians working today, and he has produced a very accessible, well-reasoned, and sensitive volume on the ways in which our readings of Scripture come to bear on the lives of people with disabilities in the church. He helps us to perceive `normate' biases in our traditions of interpretation and to read our sacred texts in new and life-giving ways.”
Theology
“I have learned a great deal from Dr. Randy Clark over the years, both from his books and from personal conversations. Here he once again lays out practical, theologically sound advice for anyone who wants to know more about God’s gift of healing. This book is a gift to the Church. Highly recommended!”
Theology
“The transfiguration stories in the Gospels are not just about Jesus. They are about the life that God has in store for us as well. Van Dussen draws upon theological thinkers across a broad array of traditions to discuss the transfiguration and its significance for our lives today. This is a very helpful guide for those who want to go deeper into the life of sanctification and holiness. Highly recommended!”
What I Remember of the Little I Understand
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Erin Grimm has written a moving, honest, and sometimes painful memoir from the perspective of a person living with mental illness. She outlines in vivid prose the struggles she has faced in her relationships, faith, and career. Yet she also strikes a hopeful note as she describes the process of learning to manage her mental health, maintain fulfilling relationships, and rediscover purpose in life.”
Women
“Carolyn Moore writes out of a deep well of experience describing the challenges and opportunities for women in Christian leadership. She begins by providing a biblical, theological understanding of women’s leadership and then discusses many of the practical implications of the biblical case she makes. I enthusiastically recommend this book for women and men who want to know more about women’s leadership in the life of the church.”
