Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Are we amusing ourselves to death? That enduring question is reworked in fresh and insightful ways as Laytham skillfully navigates a new era of technological pastimes and pleasures. The formative power of our cultural amusements is met with keen theological analysis, and the result is a book that is eminently useful and--dare I say--vastly entertaining.”

Living Out of Control

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In a time when much about our lives seems out of control, Rodney Clapp deftly explains that this, in fact, is our Christian calling, personally and collectively. Far from a posture of resignation or a relinquishing of agency, living out of control, he insists, is about embodying a lively and lifegiving witness that is shrewd in its assessment of systems of domination. Drawing on important work in prefigurative politics and Christian anarchism, Clapp paints a compelling picture of living out of control for the sake of the gospel and its good news for the oppressed and the suffering.”

Ordinary Preacher, Extraordinary Gospel

Preaching & Worship

“Neufeld-Erdman writes wisely of the daily disciplines necessary to sustain the art and practice of preaching.”

Practicing God’s Radical Forgiveness

Christian Living

“Jeff Bullock brings considerable pastoral experience to bear on the enduring question of what it means to forgive. Alluding to a number of seminal sources and drawing deeply from Scripture, he weaves a three-stranded theology of forgiveness that is rich in both its claims and its promises. What is radical about forgiveness in the Christian tradition, Bullock reminds us, is its rootedness in the triune God’s abiding love for all of creation.”

Theology Remixed

Theology

“Adam English mixes it up in this engaging treatment of Christianity, drawing deeply from church history and tradition to explore theology's useful analogues in story, game, language and culture. Theology Remixed blends careful scholarship with insights from popular culture and personal experience to craft a compelling vision of the Christian faith as God's good news for the world in our time and every time.”
