Biblical Faith

Science & Faith

“Theissen has written a most stimulating book which allows us to see old things in a new, unexpected, and different light.”

Creation

Theology

“Fergusson's treatment of creation covers all the important topics. . . . Provides sufficient historical information without boring the reader with irrelevant minutiae. Especially noteworthy is his extensive annotated bibliography.”

Justification in a Post-Christian Society

Theology

“This volume emanating from a 2013 conference in Uppsala, Sweden on Lutheran Tradition in Transition makes a critical but not unsympathetic evaluation of the past and discusses what would be a reasonable Lutheran position in the future. Well-known Lutheran theologians, both from Europe and the USA, focus on three themes, justification, Lutheran theology and ethics, and the Reformation as a model for interpreting the present. The contributors convincingly show that Lutheran theology, though diverse in itself, still makes an important contribution to the theological discourse.”

Luther Refracted

Theology

“'Martin Luther is one of those rare Christian theologians who belong to all Christian theology.' With these perceptive words David Tracy concludes his contribution to this remarkable volume on Luther's theology. Malysz and Nelson have assembled contributions of established authors hailing from various denominations who make two points clear: Luther's theology continues to influence and stimulate the whole of Christendom. Though Luther was neither infallible nor a saint, his theological insights provide valuable resources across denominational lines. This book needs to be studied for the benefit of the open-minded reader.”

Lutheran Identity and Political Theology

Theology

“Informed and calibrated by Lutheran Reformation insights, this collection of essays by North American and Scandinavian scholars shows that Lutheran theology can tackle important issues among denominations and in society. The reader is confronted here with a plethora of insights into the relevance of Lutheran theology on a global scale.”

Paul Leo

History & Biography

““Jews, how this regime put pressure on the church to comply with their insane persecution of everybody remotely Jewish, and how Leo found a second home in Dubuque, Iowa, as a professor at Wartburg Theological Seminary. This most welcome book is meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated. The authors did an excellent job to render this book into English, and it deserves many readers.”

Perspectives in Pentecostal Eschatologies

Theology

“"This multi-Authored volume offers a comprehensive view of eschatology from a Pentecostal perspective starting with a solid biblical basis, going through various significant and sometimes controversial issues in Pentecostal theology, and concluding with contextual applications. It shows that Pentecostal theology is far from monolithic but nevertheless insightful and attentive to today's societal problems.”

The Devil's Redemption

Theology

“Why would one write a treatise on universalism as large as this one? The answer is simple: universalism is a widespread and increasingly popular notion not just in Christianity but also in Judaism and Islam. Moreover, its affirmation affects everything in the Christian faith and ultimately renders grace meaningless. With immense erudition, the author traces the notion of universalism through the centuries; introduces us to its proponents from the Christian fold and elsewhere; and convincingly shows that it relies on a nonliteral interpretation of Scripture and a substantial rejection of church tradition, freely borrowing from other sources such as the paranormal and the esoteric. These two volumes provide us with a wealth of insights, an enormous amount of carefully laid-out material, and important conclusions.”
