Captive to Christ, Open to the World

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book invites readers into an ongoing conversation with an engaging and brilliant thinker who makes us think long and well about Scripture, technology, the environment, politics, and more besides. Reading this book feels a bit like I'm sitting across from Brian at a cafe, sipping coffee and having a robust conversation about crucial questions--questions that ultimately ask, 'How will I respond to Christ with my whole life?'”

Imperial Pilgrims

Theology

“Shawn Aghajan gives us a new, insightful discussion of how to be Christian and also American. He offers new readings of St. Augustine that remind us: God alone is good, so no ‘side’ of American imperialism is going to create the promised land. Rather, Aghajan suggests that we take seriously Augustinian theology and practices that show a way to be Christian even in the midst of an imperial age.”

Just Marriage

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Andrew Kim accomplishes three amazing points here. First, he takes seriously, in ways that Christians often fail to do, the reality that conflicts can be very destructive to marriages. Second, he takes seriously that lifelong vows are integral to Christian marriage. Third, he rejects the idea that one must remain in destructive marriages in order to embrace lifelong fidelity. With great care and compassion, Kim explores just war theory as a way toward marital reconciliation.”

Moral Vision

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book invites us to see two master teachers at work—and it is beautiful to behold! They write in direct but thought-provoking language that leads step-by-step through philosophical concepts, theological content, and issues related to moral vision.”

The Image of God in an Image Driven Age

Theology

“Poetry, literature, visual art and deep theological thinking collide here! What better way to think about what it means to be made in God's image, and what it means to bear God's image, to a world beset with so many false images? Students, pastors and theologians alike will find here a meaty conversation and, better yet, an invitation to bear God's image well.”

The Meaning of Singleness

Theology

“Danielle Treweek's account of Christian singleness adds a much-needed perspective to the conversation. First, she focuses on singleness, which is still rather rare. Second, she articulates why all Christians need to take notice of Christian singles. Single people are not afterthoughts to Christian life but integral to it. I think pastors, theologians, and other Christian leaders ought to be reading and digesting this book.”

Theological Ethics in a Neoliberal Age

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“We live in an age when it seems we can never have enough, for there is always more to desire and obtain. Kevin Hargaden's book gives us a fantastic opportunity . . . to reflect anew on what wealth means for the people of God. Hargaden skillfully brings together contemporary Irish economic history, Karl Barth's theology, and a beautiful articulation of worship as a way of creatively reimagining what it means to have enough.”
