Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“We speak abstractly in scholarly circles of the need to transcend looking at Christianity through the spectrum of modern presuppositions. This series, based on the commentaries of early Christians, gives us a concrete way to do this. It's a great idea.”
Black and White Styles of Youth Ministry
Children & Youth
“William Myers' Black and White Styles of Youth Ministry: Two Congregations in America is a first-class contribution to both the theory of Christian education and to recent developments in congregational studies. It beautifully weaves together theory and practice as it tells the story of the different styles of youth ministry in black Grace Church and white St. Andrews. You will leave reading this book edified and inspired and a much better religious educator of youth.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This book fills an important gap in the literature of practical theology. Practical theology needs to know how to describe situations, especially the empirical situation of the church. We will depend on Hopewell's method for years to come to help meet that need.”
Faith Development and Pastoral Care
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Until recently, the relevance of faith development theory to pastoral care has been a subject of speculation by others. Now, in Faith Development and Pastoral Care, James Fowler has given us his own interpretation of the relevance to pastoral care of his important research on how faith develops. . . We find a bold extension of it into a new arena of practical theology that will greatly benefit concrete practice in the areas of pastoral care and counseling.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Let the Children Come blends the best insights of sources once thought to be incompatible—the Christian tradition, feminism, and the modern social sciences—all deliciously mixed with Miller-McLemore’s own personal experience of raising children.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Post not only brings both theology and the social sciences to his assessment of the meaning and consequences of divorce, nonmarital births, fatherlessness, and single parenthood; he also advances the most powerful theological justification for adoption available in the current literature. . . A powerful new contribution to serious theological thought about marriage and family.”
Philosophy
“How should Christians and non-Christians live moral lives in the tightly defined roles characteristic of modern corporate and bureaucratic societies? This is a seldom-asked question in our age that celebrates spontaneity and flexibility. But this fine book both asks this difficult question and answers it with the resources of Christian ethics and political philosophy. It is an important study that creatively investigates new territory in social ethics.”
Receiving the Gift of Friendship
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Receiving the Gift of Friendship is a profound and moving argument for the humanity of profoundly disabled persons, their capacity for friendship, and their ability to reveal our relationship with God. It will be viewed as a breakthrough contribution to the emerging field of practical theology and the ministry of the church.”
Theology
“This book gives vital new life to the conversation between psychology and theology. It is a brilliant analysis of the relation of sin and pride, useful to the classroom but relevant as well to pastors and clinicians.”
The Family Metaphor in Jesus’ Teaching, Second Edition
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In this careful and beautifully written book, Stephen Finlan demonstrates not only the importance of the family metaphor or the message of Jesus, but also that the equal-regard family is not just a construction of abstract theology, but rather has a true basis in the Christian Scriptures.”
