Elisabeth Elliot

History & Biography

“Lucy S. R. Austen’s biography of the most famous American Christian woman of the twentieth century leaves no stone unturned. This extremely detailed account reveals the inner life of a very public woman, illustrating not only her high spiritual calling but also constant tensions related to her gender. Utterly committed to her understanding of the Bible’s teachings about men and women, Elliot found herself at the whims of male Christian leaders and husbands with differing visions, as well as at odds with the women’s liberation movement and egalitarian Christianity. This book nuances the two-dimensional picture of Elisabeth Elliot merely as the widow of a famous martyr to provide a multidimensional account of women in missions and American Evangelical Christianity.”

Inalienable

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“As 'the most substantial threats to American Christianity are not those from outside but from within,' Costanzo, Yang, and Soerens in Inalienable employ the voices of world Christianity to call the American church to account. From the outset, the authors employ a global hermeneutic to revisit biblical concepts of the kingdom, image, word, and mission of God from the perspective of marginalized people to address the blind spots in American Christianity. Every pastor and Christian leader in the United States should read this book.”

World Christianity and the Unfinished Task

Evangelism & Missions

“This highly accessible book speaks directly to Christians in the West as the latest one-stop shop for understanding world Christianity today. Lionel Young has masterfully woven together history and the present, missions and human rights, Global North and Global South, and Catholics and Protestants to send a powerful message of Christian unity for the twenty-first century.”
