A Multi-Intentioned View of the Extent of the Atonement
Theology
“Few things are closer to the heart of the gospel than the extent of the atonement. What one believes about this crucial subject impacts preaching and evangelism in a significant way. This book by Gary Schultz is one of the most important contributions to the discussion I have read. It is biblical, eminently readable, and covers the important issues in a clear manner. Scholars, pastors, and laypeople alike will benefit from this fine work.”
History & Biography
“With the focus of a scholar, the eye of a historian, and a heart full of love for Churches of Christ, Jack Reese has crafted a wonderful story of our past which in turn can lead to hope for our future. This book is informative, engaging, and eye-opening. While the whole work is masterful, the ‘Reflections’ interspersed among the chapters are worth the price of this book. Every person who cares deeply about the Stone-Campbell movement, especially those who love Churches of Christ, should read this book.”
Atonement and the Logic of Resurrection in Hebrews 9:27–28
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This work is one of the most unusual on Hebrews I have ever read. In this massively researched book, William Henry takes us on a detailed investigative excursion into what for many will be virgin territory. Interacting with Hebrews 9:27–28, Henry advocates for the position that Jesus leads believers into heaven after death and judgment. This entrance constitutes final salvation and has spatial/temporal connotations. Whether you agree with Henry or not, this is a fascinating journey that will surely open up new vistas on this wonderful book of Hebrews.”
Christian Living
“Donald Miller has achieved what every Christian writer toils and types for: spiritual relevancy. He has completely revealed himself in his latest effort. Laced with off-guard humor, biting insights, and to-the-point summaries, Blue Like Jazz is a thought-provoking journey toward a God who’s not only real but reachable.”
Theology
“This is hands down the best work on the subject of Calvin’s view on the extent of the atonement. Hartog’s treatment is comprehensive, thorough, judicious, balanced, and irenic. Here is scholarship at its best. This study would seem to settle the issue in favor of the position that Calvin himself held the view that there is a universal provision in Christ’s death and that Calvin never taught what we know today as ‘limited atonement.’ Highly recommended!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Seldom have I seen a manuscript that exhibits such theological acumen, cultural insight, and practical savvy. . . . Dickard perceptively diagnoses the consumerism, pragmatism, and extremes of legalism and liberalism of many of today’s churches. His remedy is relationship, expressed in five core values he calls ‘the church of we.’ . . . This book will appeal to pastors, students, and laypeople alike. I have no doubt that it will be a best seller.”
Theology
“From the pen of a seasoned pastor and thoughtful former Calvinist—this book peels back the layers of obfuscation that often encrust the hard realities of what is entailed in Calvinistic theology. This is probably the most penetrating summary critique of the biblical, theological, logical, and practical incongruences inherent in Calvinistic theology I have read. Rogers goes beyond the surface level of criticism to the deeper layers of contradictions, exposing the soft underbelly of much of Reformed theology. Irenic, respectful, yet thoroughly probing, this is a must read for all who want to understand the issues more deeply.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Joslin's thesis that work of Christ has transformed the Law christologically is exegetically and theologically sound. This work is a significant contribution to the lacuna in Hebrews studies on the relationship of the law to the New Covenant believer.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Jesus’s Opening Week is a clever title and book I wish I had thought to write! Combining biblical knowledge, life experience, and a love for John’s Gospel, Clendenen takes us on a journey with Jesus covering the first seven days of his public ministry.”
“From the pen of pastor Stephen Yuille comes a refreshing and enlightening look at two lesser-known seventeenth-century Baptist Puritans: Thomas Wilcox and Vavasor Powell. I love the Puritans. Though I do not ascribe to a Reformed soteriology myself, I have always been drawn to the genuine piety and holiness of life to which the Puritans aspired and about which they wrote with evangelical passion and warmth. Aptly titled Looking Unto Jesus, this book will help you do just that. Take up and read, and be blessed.”
Preaching Your Way Out of a Mess
Preaching & Worship
“Preaching Your Way Out of a Mess may just turn out to be a ministry-saver for many pastors! Johnny Teague is an experienced pastor who brings practical wisdom and help in addressing the internal and external problems and perplexities every pastor faces. Teague leaves no stone unturned in this well-written and helpful volume. Highly recommended!”
Preaching & Worship
“Here is the book on the prayer–powered preaching of Charles Spurgeon I wish I could have written. Keeney Dickenson has spent a lifetime reading Spurgeon and reading those who have written about Spurgeon. The fruit of his research is carefully laid out for us in this wonderful book. Learn how to firmly plant your life and ministry in the knee-prints of this great preacher, and more importantly in the knee-prints of Jesus himself. Spurgeon took Acts 6:4 seriously. Dickenson will show you how to do the same in your preaching ministry. Highly recommended!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Occasionally I read a book and then say, 'I wish I had written that!' The Church Member is just such a book. Seldom do I read something that is clear, helpful, theologically sound, and interesting all at the same time. . . . If you want to know how to be a biblically balanced, effective church member, then read this book!”
Theology
“Seldom does a truly groundbreaking book escape controversy. The Hexagon of Heresy will likely achieve both. If Gifford’s thesis is correct, then this volume will be a bombshell in the theological world. Significant, even titanic, ramifications for theology, and especially Reformed theology, ensue. This is not a book you can afford to neglect. Take up and read.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“You will not read a more encouraging book this year than The Ministry We Need. Three pastors unpack Paul’s address to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20 in a masterful fashion. Here is analysis and diagnosis to be sure, but as the authors tell us, ‘remedy is paramount.’ This book is indeed tonic for the new pastor, the experienced pastor, or the discouraged pastor. Let the Rogers trio open up Paul’s own heart for ministry to speak to you and your ministry. Highly recommended!”
Preaching & Worship
“Eureka! Finally, a book about preaching that focuses less on methodology and more on theology! In The Result Was Revival, Stewart Holloway demonstrates how a renewed homiletical theology contributed to the powerful preaching that led to the First Great Awakening in the American colonies.”
Preaching & Worship
“This book is an excellent addition to the corpus of works dealing with preaching, especially expository preaching. Take up and read!”
The Undercover Messiah and His Coming Kingdom
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Biblically accurate, theologically sound, and practically helpful, this book unlocks the keys about the messianic kingdom of Christ. If you have ever wondered how to relate the Old Testament to the New, here is the book for you. The study of all three messianic roles is crucial for correctly interpreting the biblical promise of the messianic kingdom. This book is a must read!”
