A Free People's Suicide

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Os Guinness enlightens, cheers, chastises and informs with this latest contribution to our civic discourse. Guinness here solidifies his reputation as one of the most nimble voices from the Christian community as he surveys our history and our present with appreciation as well as deep concern. Highly recommended for all interested citizens, whatever their political or faith commitments.”

Anxious Souls Will Ask...

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Anxious Souls Will Ask . . . is a powerful and poignant companion to Bonhoeffer's Letters and Papers from Prison. Newcomers to Bonhoeffer's text and Bonhoeffer scholars alike will benefit from the fruits of John Matthews's pilgrimage alongside Bonhoeffer.”

Between Pacifism and Jihad

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In this erudite, timely and helpful book, Daryl Charles surveys the landscape of just-war thinking, past and present, and helps us to understand why war should not be severed from ethical considerations and constraints. His book is a wonderful introduction to just war as well as a major contribution to the contemporary debate.”

Bonds of Imperfection

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Oliver and Joan O'Donovan are leaders in the current revival of political theology. This exemplary collection of essays displays all the virtues of their previous work — felicity of expression, capacious use of the resources of the Christian tradition, and an unsentimental, incisive understanding of political power. All students of politics and theology will find this volume indispensable.”

Justice in Love

Philosophy

“In this brilliant work Nicholas Wolterstorff does what many thought impossible: he brings fresh insights to a debate that long ago grew stale and predictable. Justice in Love is exemplary in its clarity and balance.”

Power, Value, and Conviction

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

““With this new work, Schweiker continues his vital exploration of hermeneutical realism, responsibility ethics, moral formation, and the lives we live in our complex late modern cultures. This is a bracing, complex text that richly rewards those who engage it with the care it requires.”

The Concept of Woman, Vol. 2 Part 1

Philosophy

“Sister Prudence Allen's monumental work continues with this remarkable volume. There is no work to compare with hers in its systematicness, intellectual rigor, and scholarly integrity.”

“Sister Prudence Allen's monumental work continues with this remarkable volume. There is no work to compare with hers in its systematicness, intellectual rigor, and scholarly integrity.”

The Concept of Woman, Volume 1

Philosophy

“This is a massively important work that deserves wide circulation and debate. Free from any narrow ideological agenda, Sister Allen's book offers analytic categories and conceptual frameworks that help to situate discussions of women philosophically. She gives us tools to use, deepening our understanding rather than feeding our resentment.”

The Fabric of Hope

“Glenn Tinder argues compellingly that modern despondency flows from a collapse of unreasonable optimism about our individual and collective prospects. By contrast to despondency and brittle optimism, Tinder calls for a renewal of hope. Framed by Christian belief, Tinder's elegant essay reaches out to appeal to all men and women troubled by our current condition. A beautifully written and touching work.”

The Political Dimension of Reconciliation

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In this provocative work Ralf Wüstenberg takes up the transition to democracy in South Africa and East Germany in order to explore the theological dimensions of the political use and misuse of the language of reconciliation and forgiveness. Wüstenberg understands that the connections between theology and politics are complex and contested. He counters simplistic advocacy and polemical one-sidedness. The reader encounters many riches in this challenging book.”
