Neither Jew nor Greek

History & Biography

“In concluding his magnum opus, James Dunn offers a powerful account of how the earliest Jesus tradition and its various renderings by Jesus' first Jewish followers came to shape and be shaped by the movement that developed from 70 to 200 CE. Students and scholars alike will find much to appreciate, argue with, and learn from.”

Our Witness

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“While the institutional church persisted in a narrative of exclusion, LGBT+ Christians gave Christian communities the quiet, persistent grace of their presence, their gifts, and their love. Now they add grace to grace by sharing the intimacy, vulnerability, and power of their stories, narratives of God’s embrace. Here we have an opportunity to listen and hear anew God’s resounding ‘yes’ to these siblings who have too often been told ‘no’ by human voices. In hearing, we have a fresh occasion to add our amen to God’s declarations of love.”

The Beginning and the End

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"The beginning and ending of the Christian story are perhaps the most hotly contested parts of our canon. Michael Pahl cuts through the morass of distracting debate, laying out an accessible approach to the narratives of creation and consummation. In doing so he also demonstrates how historically sensitive readings can feed the faith of God's people. The church needs this book.”

The Gospel According to the Blues

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book functions like the blues to which it introduces us: as a wake-up call to the cries of lament that stir in the hearts of people all around us. In this informative, moving, and convicting book, Gary Burnett reminds us that the gospel comes as a divine promise of justice and peace in answer to those cries.”
