Fellipe do Vale

Christlike Acceptance across Deep Difference

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This is a hopeful and a helpful book. It retains moral and theological seriousness while modeling and fostering the warmth, generosity, and hospitality that are much needed in this long-standing debate. This is the way forward for the church as we build a common life around our common object of love, Jesus Christ.”

Jesus the Refugee

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Christian ethics has a long tradition of looking to find the face of Christ in the faces of the most vulnerable. This deeply researched book accomplishes this with great sophistication and theological acuity, while challenging common misconceptions surrounding refugees. Those who read it will find their understanding of the topic enhanced and their compassion stimulated.”

Mere Christian Hermeneutics

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Kevin Vanhoozer is someone who I am glad has shaped the reading cultures in which I participate. This present volume exemplifies all of the reasons for my gratitude: a meticulous attention to the theological nature of interpretation, a clear emphasis on the need for moral and spiritual transformation of the reader, and a resolute priority on the ontology of Scripture as guide for hermeneutics. Not only that, but here he both shows and tells: through an insightful engagement with Christ’s transfiguration and other figurally related biblical texts, Vanhoozer proves to us the rich promise of his theological vision. I am thankful for his intuitive influence on my work, and this book clearly illustrates why.”

Non-Toxic Masculinity

Men

“Sexual assault is one of the biggest issues facing the church. There are cultures that facilitate assault, and men bear responsibility for constructing and sustaining such cultures. For healing to occur, men must therefore repent from the toxicity of masculinity, and Zachary Wagner helps us take the first steps. Abusive power is healed by humility, chiefly demonstrated by Christ. Wagner's book both depicts and sets an example of this humility.”

Reforming a Theology of Gender

Theology

“If theological accounts of gender will succeed, they must be characterized by at least two traits: first, they must engage a complex set of interlocutors with patience, charity, and nuance; and second, they must be sensitive to the rich ways the Christian story of creation and redemption implicate our understandings of the topic. Patterson’s book exemplifies both of these traits brilliantly in its interpretation of Judith Butler’s work and in its constructive theological proposal.”

The Mystery of Faith

Apologetics

“In a time when portraits of Jesus are commodified and coopted, Travis Jamieson gives us a humane, theologically rich, and engaging introduction to the one who died, was raised, and will come again. He weaves together Scripture, personal testimony, literature, and theologians of the past in a manner that is both welcoming and reliable. This is a terrific introduction to life in Christ.”
