Gerald R. McDermott
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Frank Honeycutt is an engaging preacher whose depictions of Jesus and other biblical characters are unique. Readers will have much to ponder in this collection of some of his best sermons.”
Theology
“For evangelicals and Protestants wanting to know what theology is and hungering for mystery and liturgy and sacrament in the historical church, this is a beautifully written guide to going further up and further in.”
World Religions
“Morehead and Benziger have assembled an impressive collection of distinguished scholars to analyze this much-neglected subject—affective attitudes in interreligious relations. Recommended for all those interested in interreligious exchange.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“One of the most controverted issues in contemporary theology and biblical studies is Paul's relation to the Law. Was he starting a new religion that broke with Torah-based Judaism? David Rudolph makes a careful and persuasive argument that sheds new light on Paul, the early Jesus-movement, and the meaning of Israel for Christians. This book is a must-read for every scholar, pastor, and layperson interested in these critical subjects.”
A Practical Primer on Theological Method
Theology
“This book concerns a critical subject—how to think through the wildly different theologies on offer today. It shows the perils of thinking that sola scriptura could be solo scriptura where we ignore the weight of the church’s consensus on doctrinal and moral issues. To the extent that this book points toward that great tradition, I recommend it.”
A Short Life of Jonathan Edwards
History & Biography
“George Marsden is our premier historian of 'America's theologian.' In this wonderfully accessible introduction to Jonathan Edwards's life and thought, Marsden not only shows why Edwards was the architect of the first American revolution (the Great Awakening) but also provides fresh insight into his God-intoxicated vision of reality.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“What does it mean to be spiritual in an Anglican way? How can we get closer to God so that we pulse with the life of Christ? This book answers those questions in ways that are both deep and accessible. Fr Greg Peters is one of Anglican theology's best, especially on this subject. I recommend this book to all clergy and serious parishioners, particularly for adult study groups.”
Theology
“Reading this book is like listening to a fascinating debate between cousins I have always admired and learned from. The debate is over a question that divides the Messianic Jewish community: What role, if any, should Rabbinic Judaism have in Messianic Jewish life? Rabbi Lessard and Professor Rosner are leaders and deep thinkers. We Gentiles have much to learn from them.”
Theology
“This book confirms Paul Hinlicky's position as one of world Lutheranism's most important theologians. A thoroughly Trinitarian vision of reality, it is a learned engagement with many of today's theological interlocutors on some of the most compelling questions for Christians today.”
Theology
“How can we get the best work of the best messianic theologian into words that people in the pews can understand easily? Besorah is the answer. This is the book for every Yeshua-believer who wants the big picture of Jesus and Israel, past and future. Every believer needs to read this and get a copy for friends.”
World Religions
“Scholars, seekers, and ordinary saints will be challenged by this book, and that is a good thing. It probes and questions—always accessibly and playfully—and the result is that every reader will learn.”
Chasing the Shadow—the World and Its Times
Theology
“Ephraim Radner is one of our most creative theologians. I applaud his intriguing effort to rescue Christian natural theology from culturally-determined denunciations of the mid-20th century. Radner’s poetic celebration of God’s shadows in the creation, espied through the orthodox creed, will challenge and delight the adventuresome reader.”
Christian Understandings of the Trinity
Theology
“Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen is one of the most insightful Christian thinkers of our day, and the Trinity is at the heart of any orthodox understanding of faith. Now, Kärkkäinen brings his Pentecostal expertise to bear on this central Christian doctrine. We will all benefit from this book.”
Christianity and Religious Diversity
Theology
“There is no better writer today than Harold Netland on how to think about Jesus in a global, postcolonial world, especially when it comes to epistemology. Netland combines a passionate heart with a keen mind. He has listened carefully to the cacophonous worldwide discussion on these questions and has compelling things to say about how to believe that Jesus is the only way to the Father while at the same time recognizing that there is goodness and truth among other religionists.”
Christianity Encountering World Religions
Evangelism & Missions
“In an era when Christians are frustrated by the devotion of whole peoples to religions that are fiercely resistant to gospel missions, this book will come as a bold and liberating proposal for both mission theorists and practitioners. Professors Muck and Adeney draw from decades of experience and scholarship to construct a model based on imitatio Christi and missio Dei. Perhaps the most helpful feature of this book is its expert use of stories from twenty centuries of missions to illustrate, in fascinating detail, 'giftive mission.'”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“When some writers and preachers today suggest that the gospel is only about forgiveness, Ed Welch reminds us that it is also good news that God brings us into a life of holiness.”
Theology
“A careful analysis, a fresh approach, and an honest attempt for mutual understanding are the basic characteristics of Echeverria´s new book. The biblical notion of divine election is here described through the works of major catholic and reformed theologians in a highly accessible style. This book is a very welcome contribution to that ecumenicity that takes Bible, theology, and tradition serious, and that on the deep and rich topic of God's electing grace." --Herman Selderhuis, Theological University Apeldoorn; Director, Refo500 "Professor Echeverria has an extraordinary command of both the Reformed and Catholic traditions. He puts that command to excellent use in this learned analysis of a critical theological question today--How are Christians to understand the mystery of divine election?”
Christian Living
“What a delight to see a book on Edwards’s conception of the Christian life. And how beautiful it is that it depicts the Christian life as ordered by and to the beauty of God. This book will help strengthen the fertilization of today’s churches by Edwards’s vision of God’s triune beauty.”
World Religions
“Look no further. This is the most enjoyable introduction to Jesus and Judaism you will ever find. It is Professor Rosner's personal story of religious exploration through her fascinating life of study and love in California and Israel. It is precise in its account of scholarly debates but also perfectly accessible to nonscholars. Recommended to all.”
