In This World of Wonders

History & Biography

“No one in recent times has contributed more to more areas of Christian philosophy than has Nick Wolterstorff. He is a sort of Thomas Jefferson in the range of his interests and mastery. In his memoir he puts his thinking and activities in personal contexts. The story of the modest circumstances of his early years is particularly fascinating, especially in light of the richness of the experiences that follow.”

Jonathan Edwards

Theology

“(This book) is the best and most accessible introduction to Edwards' thought that I know.”

Jonathan Edwards and the Ministry of the Word

History & Biography

“Douglas Sweeney has written an admirable 'Jonathan Edwards for Christians.' It is at once authoritative and addressed to the practical concerns of evangelicals in the pews.”

Jonathan Edwards on Worship

Theology

“Worship was a central feature of Jonathan Edwards's life, yet there has been little sustained study of this topic. Ted Rivera begins to fill that gap by providing a helpful account of some of the most important of Edwards's views and practices of worship.”

Liberal Arts for the Christian Life

Discipleship & Christian Education

“This volume provides a rich collection of wisdom concerning Christian liberal arts education. Students will find in it valuable guidelines for reflecting on how to get the most out of their education. It is an apt tribute to a scholar who has dedicated his career to imparting such wisdom, and this book should be provided to help carry on such work into the future.”

Mother of Modern Evangelicalism

History & Biography

“We have long needed a first-rate biography of Henrietta Mears. She was indeed one of the most influential architects of the ‘new evangelical’ renewal that reshaped much of the American fundamentalist heritage after World War II. Arlin Migliazzo has done a truly impressive amount of research and presents a fascinatingly detailed portrait of an inspiring teacher and irrepressible leader.”

Ownership

History & Biography

“Sean McGever offers a comprehensive account of the extent to which these celebrated religious figures practiced or accepted the enslavement of Africans. While not excusing them as 'men of their time,' McGever reminds us that, instead of feeling self-righteous, we should consider the moral perception gaps that we may have today.”

Princeton Seminary in American Religion and Culture

History & Biography

Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Matthean Parables, Volume III

History & Biography

“This volume is another contribution to the wonderful project of making the sermons of Edwards, previously virtually unknown, available for a general audience. Edwards's reflections on the parable of the Net are especially revealing of one lesson he learned from the now-past awakenings--it was almost impossible to distinguish between the truly converted and the seemingly converted.”

Should God Get Tenure?

Discipleship & Christian Education

“These high-quality essays illustrate well the wisdom that Christian scholars have to offer contemporary academia. The contributors are outstanding teachers who offer their best insights on topics that should concern every Christian educator.”

Spirits Eat Ripe Papaya

Fiction

“Bill Svelmoe provides a good-natured and sensitive portrayal of the experience, so common in a pluralistic world, of finding that one no longer fully belongs to one's birthright community. That experience is especially poignant in a tight-knit fundamentalistic evangelical community on an intriguing tropical missionary compound. Svelmoe skillfully depicts how such a community can be genuinely attractive, warm-hearted, and embracing, and yet have hard edges that can be psychologically fatal.”

Surviving the State, Remaking the Church

History & Biography

“Readers in the West and the East alike are keen to know more about life in China, both today and in the recent past. For Christian readers, this eager curiosity extends to the churches of China, the majority of which remain officially illegal and are often hidden. What does it mean to be a Christian in China today? How do today’s Chinese Christians remember the past? Why have they come to faith? What difference does Christianity make in their lives? Sociologist Li Ma and her husband, theologian Jin Li, have interviewed over 100 Chinese Christians from various parts of the nation. Their voices, so seldom heard, come through with amazing force. This book reveals the hearts and minds of Chinese Christians as never before.” —Joel Carpenter, Director, Nagel Institute for the Study of World Christianity at Calvin College “Surviving the State, Remaking the Church is a truly illuminating book. Based on interviews with Chinese Christians, it provides valuable glimpses into the remarkable stories of how the Chinese churches survived during the era of the most severe repression. It also provides vivid and thoughtful accounts of the many contemporary challenges facing Chinese Christians even as their churches continue to flourish.”

The Christian Past That Wasn't

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Here is a much-needed book for readers who value the truth. Throckmorton engagingly corrects many of the most common exaggerated or simply false claims concerning the roles that Christianity played in the founding of the American nation.”

The Culture of Interpretation

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“People often ask me for examples of fine Christian scholarship. Lundin's Culture of Interpretation is certainly one of the volumes I shall now point them to. It provides a remarkably clear overview and Christian critique of contemporary critical theory, and it is grounded on an insightful understanding of American cultural history.”
