Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I love the way Compassionate Justice combines thick exegesis of Jesus with public ethics, dialoguing incisively with philosophy and public policy on criminal justice . . . showing how Jesus deepens and sharpens the discussion.”
History & Biography
“A wonderfully insightful book on what Yoder means--and does not mean--by Constantinianism. It's not about Constantine, but idolatry in the fusion of church and state and the loss of the gospel vision. Yoder's argument will be answered by diagnosing how Christians rightly witness to the state, or wrongly give their mission over to the state. . . . Great truth, great insight here.”

Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“In the Land of the Living connects heart with words that I wish I had. Ken prays prayers that connect with the God of passion witnessed to by psalmists and prophets--prayers that now we can all pray, because now we have his prayers for our own praying. Get his prayers and make them your own!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“At last an elegantly written, scholarly, sensitive, and biblically well-informed Christian ethic from a Reformed perspective that pays specific attention to the way of Jesus Christ rather than bypassing Jesus. I worried that a narrative method opposed to rules might evade concrete guidance, but Verhey tells the narrative with enough attention to specific social context that concrete guidance does emerge. Although I understand John H. Yoder differently, I commend Remembering Jesus for its elegance, its informativeness, and its commitment to Jesus the storyteller as Lord over all of life.”
History & Biography
“Dietrich Bonhoeffer's spirituality, his following the incarnate and living Jesus, keeps drawing me and growing numbers of others closer to him. The Cost of Moral Leadership invites us into this spirituality with absolutely profound and accurate sensitivity. The book emphasizes the work of the Holy Spirit to make true for all Christians what was true only for Jesus Christ — namely, the conforming of our human wills to God's will — and underscores the Spirit's mission to stir the teachings of Jesus into the hearts of the faithful. This book stirs my heart.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This is the most significant book I have ever seen about what it really means to say that human life is sacred. It combines conservative loyalty to preserving the sacredness of human life with liberal loyalty to caring for the basic needs of life. . . . Gushee's work can bring the healing we need in our time of dangerous polarization.”
The Trace of the Face in the Politics of Jesus
Philosophy
“Koyles analyzes relations between John Howard Yoder and Gustafson, SchussSteler Fiorenza, Reimer, Carter, Hauerwas, Huebner, and Levinas with incisively illuminating insights. . . . He has persuaded me to take up Levinas as a major dialogue partner. Anyone with loyalties to some of these important thinkers will want to differ somewhere, but we can all learn truly important insights from his mapping them clearly. Nobody else has done this for us.”
History & Biography
“Rhonda Lee's narrative of the life and contagious witness of George and Jean Edwards is wonderful, and it will call you, as it does me, to more consistent and impactful witness. Rhonda Lee tells the story with great human interest, and she gets it right.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Conley advocates thoroughgoing deconstruction with self-critical awareness of the power-interests and subliminal loyalties driving the narrative-tradition that shapes our historical self-understanding. He provides improved articulateness for what I intend by a 'historical drama' approach, with continuous repentance in participative community, with realistic attention to self-correcting data from diverse others, and to the struggle for delivering justice. We all need to learn from Conley.”
