Theology
“By reclaiming the ecclesiological and sacramental significance of the ascension this book takes a great step forward in the recovery of the full breadth of the economy of salvation. It is nothing less than a theological breakthrough.”
Cosmic Chastity in an Age of Technocratic Lust: A Song of Three Popes
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In a deeply polarized age where convinced positions tend to harden rather than listen, this Song of Three Popes is listening to the notes, augmenting the harmonies, and monitoring the dynamics of the melody, inviting Roman Catholics who uphold orthodoxy to do so with open ears. Catholic social teaching is well worth rescuing from the politics of the culture wars. This proposal offers a sound alternative.”
Philosophy
“This provocative book, fully available in English here for the first time, regards God as a grand strategist who seeks to defeat those antagonistic to his scheme for human well-being, that his goal for the blessing of creation might succeed. The format of the book itself illustrates the challenge that God faces in dealing with recalcitrant antagonists who resent God's way for them. It is an exchange of letter between two interlocutors who want to forge a strategy for remaining friends although disagreeing on first principles. And so the message plays out on two levels. Their strategy for getting antagonists to converse civilly is to join together to uncover God's odd strategy for leading resistant people to blessing against their own inclinations.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This thoughtful contribution to applied Christian spirituality places the Trinity and the Incarnation squarely at the center of Christian identity. Further, it brings the riches of the Christian spiritual tradition to those who seek to dwell in God.”
Philosophy
“Robert MacSwain’s dedication to reenergizing the field of Anglican studies pays off in this insightful invitation to a ‘Critical Catholicism’ that reunites theology and philosophy. His essays catalyze an expansive opportunity for Anglican-friendly thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic to elaborate a methodologically open Anglophone Christianity—that is, a way of being Christian that honors classically orthodox Anglican divines but is also nuanced by insights from ecology, feminism, and other justice-oriented perspectives.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“This book constitutes a major breakthrough for those evangelical psychologists, counselors, pastors and therapists who worry about how to hold modern secular psychology together with their faith. Written from a Kuyperian perspective, Johnson shows how a theology grounded in the Word of God for the glory of God can be psychotherapeutically effective. By interweaving a theological account of the person with neurobiological and developmental approaches to psychopathology, Johnson offers a rich and flowing account of how the soul can be healed by glorifying God. It is a way forward in a discussion that is tempted either simply to cite Scripture on one hand or to elaborate endless methodological models on the other. Johnson returns the healing of the soul to the center of the discussion.”
Foreword
“By giving authentic voice to the dead voices of the Holocaust refracted through the agony of the original crucified Jew, Joel Marcus brings Christians into the suffering of his people that Jews and Christians may weep together. He has blessed all the people of God, both the Jewish people and the Christian church.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Through Dallas Willard, Keas Keasler has brought us a theologically sophisticated program to address the challenges facing Christian leaders tempted by the craving for personal power or the lure of Christian nationalism. Keasler offers Willard's framing of the Christian life as co-reigning with Christ to enable personal Christoformation through friendship with the naked Christ, leading to deep character transformation. It will strengthen the witness of the church.”
Theology
“Salvation as divinization is being recognized by historians and retrieved by contemporary theologians. Here is a wonderfully comprehensive and academically careful presentation of theosis from the Bible until Vladimir Soloviev. It is a superb contribution to fresh Christian thinking.”
Theology
“This book is an excellent addition to the retrieval of theology as wisdom that shifts interest from propositions to people while continuing to belong in the modern university. It breaks new ground with a critical analysis of divine communicative action that enables Christians to speak publicly of the paideia of God by interpreting scripture and doctrine practically. Here is a fine young theologian on the move.”
