“D. S. Martin's The Turning Aside offers a marvelous harvest of serious Christian poetry--an unusually rich and various representation of spiritual as well as poetic excellence. This is a treasury, a volume for the bedside table, there to be savored slowly--read as a prompt to meditation, prayer, and a deepened devotion to Scripture.”

Twelve Great Books

Arts & Literature

“A companion study for readers of the great books that were formative for the English-speaking Christian moral imagination. Especially valuable is his attention to historical and biographical contexts, rooting each in the author's personal, historical, and spiritual matrix. Highly recommended!”

Untimely Christianity

Theology

“Michael Edwards is a distinguished literary critic and himself a fine poet. In Untimely Christianity, he offers an acutely discerning reflection on the conscience-searing language of Jesus and the startling otherness of the words of biblical poetry from the psalms, prophets, and sayings of Christ. I know of no comparable introduction to authentic reading of the Bible—indeed, this little book, small in size but enormous in consequence, is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand the Bible as the distinctive word of God.”

Virtue and the Voice of God

Theology

“That theology as an intellectual discipline has been in protracted crisis few doubt; that it is insufficiently connected to the life of the wider church in the West is a scandal to some and, it must be admitted, a source of gratification to others. But in order to return theology to its primary task of providing the means of a vital pedagogy concerning the knowledge of God, we need a review of the map to see where we went wrong, then a coherent proposal for finding our way back. Daniel Treier provides in this closely reasoned work both a reliable map and an intriguing proposal. Every student of theology, formal or informal, will be enriched by his work.”

Why Christian Faith Still Makes Sense

World Religions

“Evans is one of the foremost philosophers of religion in the world today. In this book, a synthesis of some of his more detailed earlier work, he has given us a well-ordered analysis of the New Atheism and, what is far more important, expositions of the best historic and contemporary philosophical and theological responses. Any intelligent layperson can read this book with pleasure as well as profit, and it would make a great text for general-level courses as well.”
