Venus and Virtue

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Jerry Walls, Jeremy Neill, and David Baggett are to be commended for bringing together such an impressive array of highly qualified authors to produce this important volume on sexual ethics. Readers of Venus and Virtue: Celebrating Sex and Seeking Sanctification will appreciate the pastoral tone as well as the serious thinking that is evident in the efforts to engage our secular and sexualized culture through the lenses of a theologically-informed worldview. One need not agree with all of the authors, who at times do not even agree among themselves, in order to find help and value in this resourceful book and its attempt to address these controversial and often contentious issues. I know that others will join me in expressing gratitude for the thoughtful contributions found in this volume, which explore the implications for a thoroughgoing Christian ethic in light of the current cultural challenges for our day.”

Virtual Reality Church

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Informed by history and shaped by solid biblical commitments, Virtual Reality Church raises the important questions about the application of virtual and augmented reality for ministry, Christian living, worship, and the formation of Christian community. Exploring the theological meaning of church, including the practice of baptism and the Lord's Supper, Jonathan Armstrong and Darrell Bock reach across the denominational spectrum to offer thoughtful and pastoral guidance on these pressing issues, always with the goal of advancing the gospel message in our rapidly changing world. While readers will likely yearn for more answers and additional guidance to these perplexing challenges, Virtual Reality Church is the best introduction available on this subject. Moreover, this volume will become an essential prerequisite for those wishing to engage these issues in the days to come. Highly recommended!”

Evangelical theology, world evangelization efforts, and church ministry will be strengthened by the much-needed and timely appeal to reconnect missions and ministry to historic orthodoxy articulated so clearly in this volume. Highly recommended!”

Where Wisdom May Be Found

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Edward P. Meadors is to be congratulated for bringing together an array of gifted scholars to produce this most significant volume on authentic Christian higher education . . . Impressive in its scope, thematic in its focus, and compelling in its presentation, Where Wisdom May Be Found will serve as a treasured resource for Christian educators and their students for years to come.”

Women in God's Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“Drawing on key lessons from history, the rich intercultural experiences of women across the various sectors of the global evangelical community, and her own extensive work as a mission leader with Wycliffe and other ministries, Mary Lederleitner has provided us with inviting and thoughtful reflections in Women in God's Mission. Sensitive to the different perspectives in churches and denominations regarding egalitarian and complementarian perspectives, Lederleitner seeks to move beyond current polarizations by sharing the stories of respected women from about thirty countries with the goal of helping women and men think deeply about leadership and service in God's mission. Calling on her readers to find their identity in God, to focus on faithfulness in service, to understand contextual challenges, and to prioritize collaborative leadership approaches, Lederleitner hopes to see the influence of a new generation— in continuity with Deborah and Esther, Priscilla and Lydia, Amy Carmichael and Corrie ten Boom, Sojourner Truth and Rosa Parks, Lottie Moon and Annie Armstrong— not only continue but expand for the generations to come. While some may wish for more extensive scriptural and theological engagement, the application questions at the conclusion of each chapter combined with the action steps in the final section of the book create abundant opportunities for readers to reflect further about these important matters. Women in God's Mission offers a significant contribution to the questions regarding service and leadership for the global church in the twenty-first century.”

Zondervan Compact Greek Lexicon

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Dr. Jackson’s Zondervan Compact Greek Lexicon packs a wealth of information into brief compass, providing a truly “handy” lexicon for those interested in growing in their reading facility rather than pursuing deeper lexical study. Particularly winsome features include Jackson’s attention to displaying the components of compound words, helpful designations of noun declensions, contextually sensitive glosses, and listing of irregular principal parts as separate entries, pointing the user to the more familiar first principal part. David A. deSilva, Trustees’ Distinguished Professor of New Testament and Greek, Ashland Theological Seminary In the line of influential Greek scholars in the Baptist tradition like A. T. Robertson, Hersey Davis, Ray Summers, and Curtis Vaughan, Paul Jackson—assisted by consulting editor George Guthrie—has now produced this well-researched Zondervan Compact Greek Lexicon. This useful resource represents years of studying and teaching Greek to hundreds and hundreds of students. Though the treatment of some words and texts with disputed conclusions occasionally swerves into the interpretive sphere, overall this informative volume will be quite beneficial for both the new Greek student as well as the seasoned exegete. I am happy to recommend this important volume as a tool for students, pastors, and scholars to keep on hand.”
