“This is vintage Sider: an abundance of biblical texts to ground and inspire the kind of civic action Christians should take to serve God and neighbors. American evangelicals should read and discuss this book and think hard about the kind of organizing that will be needed to fulfill genuine political responsibility.”
Christian Living
“If you haven’t been able to keep up with all the books on a Christian worldview that have appeared in recent years, now is the time to act. Read this book. Goheen and Bartholomew not only have made use of all the other worldview books but also have written a volume that distinguishes itself. Illuminating our times with historical perspective, biblical depth, and social breadth, the authors show what a biblical worldview should mean for us today.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“With a deep biblical commitment, a firm grasp of history, and profound insight into the complexity of human persons and society, Storkey shows us how to evaluate the ongoing ‘gender’ debate. This is a major contribution to Christian thought on this subject.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“David Koyzis has produced a truly original book illuminating the landscape of modern political ideologies. His approach is distinctively Christian, giving him a standpoint from which to cririque liberal as well as totalitarian ideologies. Moreover, the book is up to date with the post-Cold War world. This is the place to start for anyone who wants to understand the dynamics of ideological conflict in the world today.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Tim Sherratt has given us a feast! Citizens of all stripes, and especially Christians, should dig in. Moving from the lordship of Christ to details of contemporary issues and ideologies, he presents a perspective little known and even less discussed in Christian circles. In the midst of so much mindless chatter and interest-group battling, Christians should pause to consider the insights and wisdom of this clearly written, powerful challenge.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Have you ever wished that a pastor or teacher would sit down with you and some friends for a fireside chat to explain clearly the entire Letter of Hebrews? Then you should read this book by Doug Webster, an enthusiastic pastor-teacher who will help you catch the fire, the warnings, the encouragements, and the grand vision of Hebrews for life today.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“At a time when political and economic foundations are shaking throughout much of the world, the clear argument of this book needs to be considered very carefully. . . . In constructing her own proposals for Christian development efforts in Latin America, Amy Sherman presents a remarkably comprehensive argument that is at once both cautious and optimistic, both realistic and forward looking.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This is a powerful challenge from a young heart and a mature mind. Schiess seems to touch every unexamined habit of Christian thought, work, leisure, and worship. With a wide sweep of life's liturgies and church liturgies, of spiritual formation and political responsibility, of Bible reading and communication with others, Schiess goes straight for the heart in relaxed conversation that packs a prophetic punch about our complacency, ignorance of Scripture, cultural conformity, and more. Her urgent message is for communities of Christian faith to repent and turn ourselves over entirely to God, as disciples of Jesus Christ have always been called to do. It is hard to imagine how this young woman has been able to read so widely and think so profoundly about so much of life. Here you'll find fresh insight and compelling hope that will renew your labors for the coming of God's kingdom. Young people, old folks like me, and everyone in between, read this book now!”
Theology
“In this timely and highly valuable book, Koyzis exposes the problems and points the way to solid, balanced answers. The subtitle of We Answer to Another sums it up: 'Authority, Office, and the Image of God.' Humans have been created in the image of God and called to serve the Creator--the One to whom we are ultimately accountable. To exercise a responsibility is to hold an office of real authority as servant-stewards of one another. We can thus participate in holding one another accountable to the responsibilities of those offices. Sound old-fashioned? It's the most contemporary word of wisdom we and our neighbors throughout the world need to hear today!”
