Theology
“This is a towering work that deserves to be read throughout the ecumenical churches, to whose renewal and imperative reunion it promises to make a vital contribution.”
Theology
“This is a powerful and most welcome book. La Montagne brings his considerable scientific and mathematical background to bear on the study of Barth's theological epistemology. The result is a first-rate analysis that situates Barth in relation to critical realism in contemporary science and philosophy. There is much to be learned here about rationality in general and Barth in particular that would be difficult to find anywhere else.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Breakfast, as we know, is the most important meal of the day. And Karl Barth is widely regarded as the greatest theologian of the twentieth century. Put them together, as Donald McKim has done, and what you get is the spiritual breakfast of champions. Have a hearty breakfast with Barth before you do anything. It's sure to build a strong body of Christ in innumerable ways.”
Christocentric Reformed Theology in Nineteenth-Century America
Theology
“This welcome volume pulls together into one place the essential writings of Emanuel Gerhart, a key figure in the development and synthesis of Mercersburg theology. Known for his distinguished career as a university president and church leader, Gerhart also produced, among other writings, a massive two-volume Institutes of the Christian Religion in which, like Schaff and Nevin, he opposed both liberal and revivalist forms of Protestantism for their subjectivistic rationalism.”
Theology
“These are essential documents pertaining to one of the most important theological debates in American history. They remain of great interest today for not only deepening how Reformed churches might understand the Lord's Supper in accord with Calvin, but also for the possibility of Reformed ecumenical convergence with churches from which they have long been divided. . . . The editors have performed a great service to theology and the church.”
Conspiracy and Imprisonment 1940-1945
History & Biography
“An abundance of riches awaits anyone who turns to this magnificent volume. Never before could we see in such luminous detail how Bonhoeffer related his ethics to his involvement in political resistance. This is Bonhoeffer up close and personal during the last period of his life. Letters, essays, sermons and more show him addressing challenges, ambiguities and terrors that were pressing for him then, and as will be clear to many, are... no less pressing for us today.”
Theology
“This is an important book on an important topic. Bringing Barth into conversation with Eastern Orthodoxy promises to advance ecumenical relations in both directions. There is much to be learned on both sides, and this is a wonderful start.”
“Thomas Coogan has done a masterful job of examining the Grateful Dead in light of the Christian gospel. As someone who knew little about the ‘Deadheads,’ I learned a lot to my surprise and delight.”
Theology
“A pertinent and timely volume that not only encourages appreciation of the rich diversity of the Reformed tradition but mines this in ways that facilitate highly constructive, contemporary engagement with the past. For many, Deviant Calvinism will constitute a redemptive Calvinism by offering alternative interpretations of a tradition whose credibility has been weakened by some of its more rigid advocates. Unsurprisingly, the essays in this volume exhibit the depth of perception, clarity of analysis, and, indeed, semantic hygiene that we have come to expect from one of the ablest theologians of our generation." —Alan J. Torrance The School of Divinity, University of St. Andrews "Oliver Crisp is one of the leading Reformed theologians of his generation. His essays are always rigorously argued, thoughtful, and provocative. This volume is no exception. Being even more deviant a Calvinist than Crisp himself, I enjoyed disagreeing with much of it.”
Theology
“Travis Stevick is a promising scholar in a field that needs an influx of new ideas. He displays an unmatched appreciation for recent work in science—and, quite importantly, the philosophy of science—from a distinctively Reformed theological point of view. This is the best study of Torrance’s work in the area of theology and science that has yet to appear. It is a magisterial work in ecclesial theology that will command attention wherever interest exists in this field.”
Engaging the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
Theology
“Matthew Levering has acquired a well-earned reputation for being amazingly prolific without ceasing to be substantive and profound. In this work he has done it again! No one interested in the doctrine of the Holy Spirit--and especially in the seminal contributions of Augustine and Aquinas--can afford to ignore this rich and stimulating book.”
Theology
“The whole of Christian discourse is contained in the tiny, glittering questions that Demson so marvelously brings to light. His work is the work of a hermeneutical master in the service of other hermeneutical masters--Hans Frei and Karl Barth. The result is a brilliant restatement of Frei on 'the identity of Jesus Christ'--amplified and qualified by astute attention to Barth. An outstanding contribution to the ecclesial reading of Holy Scripture.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This is an entertaining book with a serious point. Longenecker takes his readers on a captivating journey from the absurd to the sublime. Focusing on a single 'gap' in the text of Luke's Gospel, he starts with novelistic attempts at filling it (the absurd) and ends with deft reflections on how Luke crafts a narrative Christology (the sublime). With this highly innovative approach, Longenecker deepens our appreciation of Luke's Gospel, while also bearing testimony to the mystery of Christ.”
Preaching & Worship
“William Willimon has long since established himself as one of the premiere preachers of our time. In this new book he shows how strong preaching is impossible without strong theology to undergird it. This is a masterful text to be studied and savored by all who care about the renewal of theology and preaching in today’s church.”
Theology
“No theologian in the latter half of the twentieth century devoted more attention to the mystery of the incarnation than T. F. Torrance. These magnificent posthumously published lectures give us the most sustained and rounded account of his views that we will ever have. In depth of learning, profundity of insight and purity of faith, nothing comparable has appeared from the pen of an English-speaking theologian since John Henry Newman. This is a towering work that deserves to be read throughout the ecumenical churches, to whose renewal and imperative reunion it promises to make a vital contribution.”
History & Biography
“This is an outstanding introduction to the theology of Jonathan Edwards. Drawing upon the latest scholarship and a mastery of Edwards’s writings, it is well written, comprehensive, and concise. I expect it to be widely used in the classroom and to become a standard point of reference in the field.”
Karl Barth and the Problem of War, and Other Essays on Barth
Theology
“One of the best ways to enter into Barth's ethics is through a specific topic. No better example of this approach can be found than John Howard Yoder's classic study of Barth's stance toward the problem of war. The original edition of this work is now reissued with a number of supporting essays. In one of them, I have found Yoder's reference to the little-known work of Walter Bense on Barth's early pacifism to be especially useful in charting Barth's complexity and ambivalence toward 'practical pacifism' (and sometimes 'chastened non-pacifism') over the course of his career.”
Theology
“In this volume the question of 'Powers and Principalities' is examined from many standpoints, most notably exegetical, historical, cultural, and political. The essays are rich and stimulating. The idea of dark spiritual powers at work behind the scenes of everyday life, and especially political life, continues to bear fruit for Christian theological reflection.”
