Christ and the World of Religions

Theology

“Professor Thomas offers here an excellent account of Lesslie Newbigin's theology of interreligious dialogue and of gospel and culture, all founded and centered firmly in Jesus Christ. This is a useful contribution to the study of Newbigin, an important ecumenical Christian statesman and theologian of the twentieth century.”

Jesus Christ for Contemporary Life

Theology

“Professor Schweitzer offers here a fresh approach to Christology, deeply rooted in the Trinitarian tradition of Jesus Christ as the incarnation of the Word of God. Writing intentionally out of a Canadian/North Atlantic context, he draws upon contemporary studies of the historical Jesus, faces critical challenges to doctrines of atonement, and explores the significance of Jesus for movements of resistance to domination. A nuanced, non-reductive treatment of religious plurality, and of prayer, adds to the richness of this volume--an excellent educational tool for theological students and scholars.”

Preacher

Preaching & Worship

“This volume proves that sermons, and books of sermons, can be theologically substantive, as well as inspiring for congregants and instructive for preachers . . . [They] are masterpieces of eloquence and theological insight . . . The book is certainly to be recommended to ministers, and to professors and students of Homiletics.”

The Resurrection of History

Apologetics

“David Bruce proves a masterful guide to the labyrinth of Christian thought about the relation of faith and theology to historical inquiry, with particular focus on the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Exploring the philosophical suppositions of modern historiography, and the stances of major theologians, Bruce defends an 'orthodox' belief in the bodily resurrection of Jesus with sensitivity to those who find this difficult to believe in our time. An excellent resource for theologians, students, and laity alike.”

Waiting at the Foot of the Cross

Theology

“Her focus is 'hope at the end of hope' when crises of violence, poverty, and ecological devastation threaten as never before. Elaborating Grant's and Hall's criticism of technological mastery, she proposes a theology and practice of hope which is the converse of mastery, which both waits and acts, in a posture of trust and openness to the God of the cross. An important contribution to North American theology today!”
