2 Peter and Jude

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Not many commentaries aim to construct a metaphorical 'dance pavilion' or 'small-town bandstand.' In her stimulating commentary on 2 Peter and Jude, however, Ruth Anne Reese pulls off her intended aim with aplomb and introduces the reader to a perichoretic interplay between text, theological meaning, and community engagement. This is no dry tome for an exegetical elite. Here the reader is drawn into the drama of the text, confronted by the depth of its theological implications, and challenged to participate in renewed practices of faith. Once again, with this groundbreaking work, the Two Horizons New Testament Commentary lifts the reader to new horizons of understanding and participation.”

A Handful of Prayers

Arts & Literature

“The art of being a theologian or pastor is demonstrated in the ability to inhabit a moment and to give it expression which, in turn, points us to the Lover of our souls. It is to take time with, and care over, words. This artistry privileges us to become poet to the soul, songwriter to the heart, shepherd to the mind. Peter's collection of poems and sonnets beautifully demonstrate his craftsmanship, and how well he has mastered the task. Time taken pondering this carefully crafted compilation can only aid the reader towards better achieving a similar goal in creating wordscapes that give expression to our shared humanity.”

Divine Disorder and the Rescue of God

Theology

“In Divine Disorder and the Rescue of God, Mark Corner exposes readers to a polyphony of voices—both theological outliers and pillars of orthodoxy—in his articulation of a contemporary expression of christological kenosis. This is a rich, bold, and daring reinvestigation of kenosis and it does what good theology is supposed to do—engage and challenge the mind as it seeks understanding of the Light who has come into the world.”

Laws of the Spiritual Order

Theology

“Don Horrocks is a born researcher who writes with clarity and interest. This book is a splendid contribution to the growing conversations concerning previously neglected theologians. Thomas Erskine's precocity has come of age and I can think of no better a presentation of his context and theology than that offered by Horrocks.”

The Holy Spirit and Christian Ethics in the Theology of Klaus Bockmuehl

Theology

Foreword

“This is an exceptional book; it introduces us for the first time to a much-neglected thinker. It also equips us with an understanding of how the church can live ethically in power--through its love relationship with the Father. In both respects, it has much to offer its reader and the wider contemporary church.”

Trinitarian Pneumatological Personhood and the Theology of John Zizioulas

Theology

“Nearly forty years on from John Zizioulas’s seminal work on personhood, Ron Adkins addresses its impact on how we should view the human person. Adkins challenges the reader to think through what it means for human personhood to be made alive in and through Jesus Christ, whose own personhood is radically Trinitarian. For anyone interested in theological anthropology, especially from a specifically Trinitarian perspective, this is a must-read.”
