Theology
“This book opens up the private world of a very public man and deepens our understanding of one of the greatest theologians of all time.”
A Sure Ground on Which to Stand
Theology
“Nothing is more important for understanding Martin Luther than a grasp of his approach to the Holy Scriptures on which he based his faith and doctrine. In this illuminating study Mark Thompson explains the many different ways in which Luther approached the biblical text and reveals a man whose understanding of God's Word defies simplistic analysis. In the process he engages with modern Lutherans who have so often appropriated some parts of Luther's legacy but ignored others. This book will be essential reading for everyone with a serious interest in Luther and in the gospel which he proclaimed.”
An Exploration of Christian Theology
Theology
“Finding a systematic theology textbook that ordinary people can read and learn from is not easy, but Dr. Thorsen has come up with one. . . . The content is well researched, clearly presented, and deeply serious. . . . Dr. Thorsen tries to be fair to as wide a spectrum of Christian belief as he can be, treating Roman Catholics and Pentecostals with equal respect and pointing out what the real disagreements are--as well as reminding us where the weight of majority opinion has generally lain. . . . The design and layout of the book is superb.”
Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls
Theology
“Pastoral ministry lies at the heart of the church. Its outward form is constantly changing, but its underlying principles remain the same. The distilled wisdom of the past is an encouragement in the present, as this guide to the teaching and practice of great leaders of the early church makes plain. It is a precious resource for us to ponder and to use in our service to the Lord today.”
Apologetic for Filioque in Medieval Theology
Theology
“The importance of this doctrine for our understanding of the Christian life has been sadly neglected … it is good to see a theological study of high quality which brings this out for us.”
C.S. Lewis—On the Christ of a Religious Economy, 3.1
Theology
“In this truly wonderful book, Brazier . . . shows us how Lewis, a gifted storyteller, was able to appropriate the Hebrew creation account as a symbolic telling of a fundamental truth about the human condition. In the process, the reader is shown how classical Christian orthodoxy is upheld. . . . A pleasure to read for theologians and literary aesthetes alike.”
Colin Gunton and the Failure of Augustine
Theology
“"Dr. Green is an accomplished scholar with a deep knowledge of Augustine and other church fathers. His proposed reply to the line recently taken by Colin Gunton and others is necessary and timely. Professor Gunton overplayed his hand and distorted Augustine's perspectives in various ways, which Dr. Green aims to elucidate. There is a growing body of secondary literature that takes Gunton at face value on this subject, and it is essential to refute it before it becomes a new orthodoxy. Dr. Green's proposal is therefore most welcome.”
Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A concise, comprehensive, well-produced, and user-friendly guide to the way the New Testament uses the Old is exactly what pastors and scholars need—and here it is. The scholarship is up-to-date, the presentation is comprehensible to nonspecialists, and the overall structure makes it easy to trace particular themes and apply them in a variety of church and seminary contexts. An essential resource and an ideal gift to any student of the Bible.”
Faith and Love in Ignatius of Antioch
Theology
“The letters of Ignatius of Antioch are an ever-fresh source of inspiration for Christians and scholars of the early church. The themes of faith and love that he integrated and taught to his flock are central to our understanding of how the Gospel was proclaimed and received in the apostolic and post-apostolic period, and this important study, finally published in English after half a century, will open our eyes to a witness that has too often been neglected.”
Theology
“The fate of those who have never heard the gospel is one of the great mysteries of our faith. Christians have long speculated about whether and how God may have spoken to those who have not been exposed to the church's preaching of salvation through Christ alone. This book deals respectfully with the different views of the subject which are found among evangelical believers while seeking to remain faithful to the teaching of Jesus himself. It is a model of how we should discuss such a delicate matter and come to a decision which upholds the uniqueness of the one and only Savior of mankind.”
Foundations of Anglican Evangelicalism in Victoria
History & Biography
“The roots of Anglican Evangelicalism in Victoria are little known or understood today, but the Evangelical tradition played a seminal role in the early years of the Diocese of Melbourne, and its history needs to be told. This book is a pioneering work in its field and will be required reading for all who are interested in the foundations of the Anglican Church in Australia. The author presents the story with a comprehensiveness and fairness that will put all future researchers in his debt.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The Church is a body of men and women who are in a personal relationship with God. Nowhere is that clearer than in our prayer life, where the common themes of that relationship resonate across the ages. Praise, thanksgiving, petition―the basic pattern has not changed over time. In reading these prayers of the early Christians we are connecting with our brothers and sisters who have fought the good fight and who bid us to follow in their footsteps as we make our way to the heavenly rest they now enjoy.”
Give Me Understanding That I May Live
Christian Living
“Suffering is the greatest mystery of life, and God’s people have struggled with it since the days of Job. There is much about it that we shall never be able to understand, but Christians can know that whatever happens to us, we are children of God, and he will not allow us to fall away from his loving care. That is where we must begin, and the Scriptures offer us a rich resource for establishing our faith on a firm foundation. Mark Talbot takes us to where we need to be.”
Christian Living
“This important book tackles what is perhaps the greatest enemy facing Christians today. Sexual sin is nothing new, but the epidemic of pornography and its consequences have devastated the church and ruined the lives and ministries of pastors from every denomination. John Fonville knows that there is no miracle cure for this disease, but he develops a strategy for combating it that is firmly grounded in biblical principles and practical application. It is a manual of self-discipline rooted in submission to the Word of God and a close relationship with Jesus Christ, and very much needed by everyone active in church life today.”
How to Use the Book of Common Prayer
Preaching & Worship
“The recent revival of interest in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer has created a need to provide modern readers with a user-friendly introduction to it. The editors of The 1662 Book of Common Prayer, International Edition have assumed no prior knowledge of liturgical worship and have guided readers step by step through its principles and content. This book challenges both students and pastors to reflect carefully about our public devotion to the service of God and shows how it can be enriched by drawing on this classical English text.”
Theology
“"Is anybody in charge around here? Does anybody care about me?' The answer to both these questions is 'God' and that is the Christian doctrine of providence. In this easy-to-read book, Melvin Tinker brings home to us what that means in practice as we see God working his purposes in our lives. There are no simple answers, but Tinker can make hard things clear and help us understand who is watching over us and why. Highly recommended.”
Introducing Theological Method
Theology
“Veeneman offers us a wide-ranging and sympathetic study of theologians from a variety of traditions and schools of thought, allowing the reader to make independent judgments. This is an ideal introduction for students coming from many different perspectives. Nobody can relate equally well to every modern theologian, but this book will help us evaluate the approaches of those with whom we disagree as well as deepen our understanding of our own mentors. Highly commended!”
Theology
“This book is a comprehensive and important introduction to the subject of justification by faith alone, which is one of the most important Christian doctrines and key to understanding the true nature of Protestantism. Schreiner’s presentation is informative and lucid, making it one of the best ways for students and others to grasp what justification is and why it matters today as much as ever.”
Theology
“A theological commentary on this surprisingly neglected New Testament epistle is long overdue. This volume gives us a systematic overview of Christian teaching as found in 2 Corinthians that will be of immense value to students and teachers alike.”
