A Primer for Christian Doctrine

Theology

“Professors of theology everywhere will be delighted with any student who arrives in class with a mastery of this book. The author is evenhanded, fair-minded, levelheaded, respectful, gentle, and extraordinarily shrewd. I enthusiastically recommend this crisp, lovely book to any reader who wants to think Christianly about God.”

Arminian Theology

Theology

“In this blockbuster of a book Roger Olson demonstrates that Arminian theology is faithfully Christian, faithfully Protestant and faithfully evangelical. He introduces his readers to a large world which many will never before have entered, the world of Arminian and Wesleyan theology, and even those familiar with this world will become more informed about it. In his contents page alone he provides more clarity on the contested issues in the Calvinism/Arminianism debate than many books on the subject. He methodically subverts many of the arguments that Calvinists routinely use against Arminian theology. This is Christian polemical theology at its best: massively informed, carefully and passionately argued, and friendly and courteous to the opposition. I recommend Arminian Theology enthusiastically, and I predict that, if it is read with the attentiveness it deserves, it will ratchet up the level of the American conversation on these issues.”

Conscience, Spirituality, and Religion

Philosophy

“In this new book Dr. Xavier addresses many urgent needs of society and of individuals in our world today. He shows that from the Axial Age until our own time, conscience and spirituality have been closely connected in many religions and in communities of people who are ‘spiritual but not religious.’ Dr. Xavier emphasizes the importance of conscience in the Christian faith, and he shows that conscience plays a significant role in enhancing the fruit of the Spirit in the lives of Christians and promotes non-violence. He brings together what he has learned about conscience from his clinical practice and extensive research into a wide range of historical understandings of conscience. I believe that is just the kind of book about conscience that is needed at this time.”

The Collected Writings of James Leo Garrett Jr., 1950–2015: Volume Six

Theology

“James Leo Garrett’s interest in the Roman Catholic Church began early and continued throughout his long life. He studied its theology and practices carefully and patiently, and he wrote about them from the point of view of a faithful Baptist theologian. Readers of this volume will learn a great deal about Roman Catholics, about Baptists, and about their relationships with each other, and about several related matters.”

The Word of Truth

Theology

“The largest and arguably the most important Baptist theology of our century. Its author is a man of wide learning, deep convictions, and daring judgments. He engages other theologians and philosophies, past and present, in vigorous dialogue. All readers, even those who may disagree with the author at points, will be affected by the book. . . . I recommend it enthusiastically.”
