Dogmatic Aesthetics

Theology

“This lively, well-written engagement with the work of Robert Jenson is neither excessively critical nor hagiographical. Instead, it wisely weaves that work into a conversation with Barth, Balthasar, and their predecessors in order to develop a constructive theological aesthetics. Wright’s eschatological reflections are particularly compelling.”

Improvisation

Theology

“This book is conversant both with academic issues and with the liturgical and pastoral practices of congregational ministry. . . . Wells's account represents a significant advance for the discipline of Christian ethics.”

Living Vocationally

Christian Living

“This book is an event! Calls to ‘find your vocation’ often focus narrowly on career choice or are written for scholars rather than students. Wadell and Pinches speak directly to those who are considering their callings, encouraging them to ‘live vocationally.’ The authors have generously distilled two decades of scholarship into a book that is carefully researched yet accessible, filled with practical examples and deep wisdom. Living Vocationally is the book we need today.”

So That All May Flourish

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Call them the Lutheran Brain Trust: these fifteen contributors represent some of the finest theological thinking and cultural reflection on Lutheran higher education today. Each one of them is also a skilled practitioner of the pedagogies and perspectives that they describe. Their reflections on the inheritance, challenges, and opportunities at Lutheran colleges and universities are essential reading--not only within the denomination, but for everyone working to help independent higher education fulfill its promising future.”

Wisdom, Faith, and Service

“Colleges and universities are increasingly aware that the circumstances under which they were founded—typically more than a century ago—are very different from the contexts in which they operate today. This book provides a welcome model of how an academic institution might come to terms with this reality by reframing the narratives that situate it within its history and call it into the future. Every institution has much to learn from these thoughtful essays.”
