A Theology of Word and Spirit

Theology

“Christian Foundations promises to be the evangelical summa of the twentieth century. Bloesch demonstrates once more a clarity, forthrightness, relevance and breadth of vision which will commend his series to a wide readership.”

Christ the Mediator of the Law

Theology

“With this very original study, Byung-Ho Moon makes an outstanding contribution to an important but overlooked aspect of Calvin's theology, viz,. the relation of Christ to the law of God. Highly recommended.”

Institutes of the Christian Religion

Theology

“The 1541 edition of the Institutes has long been considered a gem among the various editions of Calvin's classic. Its special virtues are that it is more concise than the final 1559 edition and also more pastoral and practical, reflecting Calvin's years in the ministry. Finally we have a superb English translation of this edition by a premier Calvin scholar. Elsie McKee knows Calvin and knows French. The result is a wonderful contribution to Calvin studies in the English-speaking world. Readers of this version will gain fresh perspectives and new insights into the Reformer's theology.”

Liberating Speech—Today

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book could not be more timely. In an age of irresponsible attacks and insensitive cartoons that evoke terrible reprisals and violence, Raymond Anderson argues for sensitivity and compassion in private and public discourse. Freedom of speech is often abused so that free speech can, and often does, have a price. Anderson illustrates in countless ways how freedom of speech can be cruel and insensitive. The author offers much wisdom in response to this phenomenon.”

Reformational Theology

Theology

“This is the first attempt — and an impressive one — to write a systematic theology from a Reformational perspective. . . . Spykman seeks to overcome long-standing dualisms that have plagued theology for centuries with a third way which gives more attention to the historical redemption pattern of Scripture. One need not agree with all of the presuppositions of this approach in order to appreciate the fresh and rich results of this solid study.”

The Great Passion

Theology

“There are many excellent books on Karl Barth and his theology, but there is nothing quite like this analysis and survey of Barth's theology by his foremost interpreter. . . More than simply an 'introduction,' The Great Passion weaves the whole of Barth's theology together like a seamless garment.”
