Gabriel Fackre
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The remarkable story of care and advocacy for the homeless on Cape Cod is inextricable from the life and witness of Alan Burt. Readers will be drawn into the sorrows and joys of the real people who are his companions on a shared journey. . . . A model of ministry for other communities.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Learning and passion come together in Christ Outside the Gate to make it an outstanding contribution to missiology.”
Church Unity and the Papal Office
Theology
“A 'must read' for understanding the ecumenical commitments and direction of the Vatican.”
Conversion in the New Testament
Evangelism & Missions
“A landmark work in the study of conversion. With the tools of scholarship and as a seasoned practitioner, Peace explores the New Testament understanding of the turning points of conversion. . . . Our contemporary efforts in evangelism have much to learn from this full-orbed view of conversion.”
How Does America Hear the Gospel?
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“As an astute observer of American culture and an able theologian, Dyrness brings the biblical text to bear on the modern context. A learned work with evangelical power.”
Theology
“Elmer Coyler has written the long-needed American introduction to the life and thought of Thomas Torrance in this brilliant and wide-ranging work. The author takes the reader into the mind of a unique theologian who has earned the esteem of natural scientists for his contribution to their discipline and of theologians for his profound treatment of trinitarian and christological doctrine, as well as for his faithful translation and interpretation of Barth's Church Dogmatics. The book will greatly help to give Torrance the attention he deserves on this side of the Atlantic.”
In Quest of a Vital Protestant Center
Theology
“A big 'thank you' to George Demetrion for helping readers see that the center does hold. A wise and winsome work.”
Theology
“Jonathan Bonomo helps us relive one of the most important theological debates in nineteenth-century America, as represented in the exchanges between two giants of the time, Charles Hodge and John Williamson Nevin. With command of the scholarship, the author probes the views of Hodge and Nevin on the Lord's Supper/Eucharist and their underpinnings in the doctrines of Incarnation and Atonement . . . rightly appealing for what is called today, 'mutual affirmation and mutual admonition.'”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Latin American Journey demonstrates in a unique way how personal and social narrative can illuminate the biblical story. Robert Pazmino's experiences in a South American base community and the barrios of Costa Rica are here translated into fresh and vital proposals for Christian education in North America. Showing the way between fundamentalism of both the right and left, the author brings into creative partnership an often polarized orthodoxy and 'orthopraxy'. A valuable resource for religious educators, pastors, and seminary students.”
Theology
“Sanders has written a landmark work on the question of the ultimate destiny of those who do not hear the gospel in their lifetime. No Other Name is the most comprehensive review available of historic and contemporary positions on this subject. And it includes a fair-minded citation of the pros and cons of each point of view. Weaknesses of both restrictive and universalist perspectives are exposed, and a 'wider hope' category of views is affirmed with due acknowledgement of its own ambiguities. Must reading for those struggling with the issues of religious pluralism.”
Theology
“In this provocative work Mark Heim sees with a Girardian eye what may be unnoticed aspects of the atonement. While this is no substitute for classical understandings of the work of Christ, the reader is urged to follow Heim's search for a yet-to-be discerned dimension of the doctrine.”
Theology
“Here is a biblical and churchly 'spirituality' so needed today as an alternative to the New Age nostrums that crowd the mall bookstore shelves. Along the way, Donald Bloesch examines a range of offerings for the cure of souls that includes classical mysticism--its strengths and weaknesses--current gnosticisms in Christian garb and their post-Christian equivalents while making his powerful case for a Christocentric spiritual life of loving God and serving the world.”
Theology
“Searching evangelical self-criticism, illuminating theological proposals . . . here is a voice that deserves a wide hearing in both evangelical and ecumenical circles.”
The Story of Christian Theology
Theology
“Gabriel Fackre, author of The Christian Story and The Doctrine of Revelation”
Theology
“A fine theological mind gives fresh perspective to the Christian understanding of human nature by its command of biblical scholarship and knowledge of the sciences and contemporary issues. The illumination of each facet of doctrine by Margeurite Shuster's homilies makes Paul Jewett's systematic unique in the field.”
