Divine Covenants and Moral Order

Theology

“Divine Covenants and Moral Order is definitely the most comprehensive and the most original work on natural law by a Reformed Christian theologian to date. . . . A major contribution to a truly substantive Jewish-Christian dialogue on natural law.”

Engaging the Doctrine of Israel

Theology

“Some years ago, the late cardinal Avery Dulles, the most distinguished American Catholic theologian, told me he considered Matthew Levering ‘the most up-and-coming young Catholic theologian in the world.’ This new book shows us once again that Cardinal Dulles’s prediction was not exaggerated. This new book is a testament to Matthew Levering’s faith, his learning, his insightfulness, and his commitment to a theologically vibrant relationship with ‘ongoing Judaism.’ Well done!”

The Believing Scientist

Science & Faith

“In this book Stephen Barr beautifully demonstrates how his work as a scientist and his life as a religious believer enrich one another, because both are different yet complementary approaches to the same universal reality created by God.”

The Return to Scripture in Judaism and Christianity

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The Return to Scripture in Judaism and Christianity shows how reading scripture itself has become self-conscious theologizing, which is being done with all the tools of modern scholarship, but for the sake of restoring sacred community, something modernity largely lost. Peter Ochs's introduction gives great coherence to the collection as a whole and is compelling in its challenge to the ongoing project of postmodern theology.”

What’s the Good of Humanity?

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“What’s the Good of Humanity?, superbly prefaced and edited by Victor Austin and Joel Daniels, is a rich collection of essays by seven prominent Christian theologians. The essays skillfully engage in theological anthropology, bringing their authors’ insights to bear on a question facing all humans created in God’s image. At a time when the very idea of ‘humanity’ is being attacked by advocates for a ‘post-human’ world, the seven authors here help all theists face this challenge wisely.”
