New Life in the Risen Christ

Theology

“Methodists have tended to get confused about baptism, both theologically and pastorally. They will be less confused if they read this book. It is comprehensive, learned, rooted in careful exegesis and responsible history, and eminently readable as it relates baptism to themes dear to Wesleyan theology such as salvation, holiness, evangelism, the Holy Spirit, justice, works of mercy, and the means of grace. Every pastor in any stream of the Methodist tradition ought to have it on his or her shelf.”

Our Church Speaks

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“I'm always grateful to see books that bring the rich history of the church to Christians today who need to hear such stories. I've followed Our Church Speaks on Instagram for a long time, and it's a delight to now have a sampling of their art and wisdom in this physical book—perfect for reading, savoring, praying over, and giving to friends and relatives as a gift.”

Outpouring

Theology

“When the Asbury Outpouring began, many people—inside and outside the church—began asking: Is this good? Is it true? Is it real? Vickers and McCall set their personal experience of the Outpouring within the context of two thousand years of Christian reflection on who God is and how God’s grace saves us. While these authors remind us to always be faithful in the ordinary means of grace, their answer to the question of whether God can act through such extraordinary means is a resounding yes.”

Respectable Methodism

History & Biography

“Daniel Flores’ new book on Nathan Bangs is comprehensive and provocative. It interweaves the embourgeoisement of the nineteenth-century Methodist movement with the details of Bangs’ biography, cementing Bangs’ status as a major player in the drive towards greater Methodist respectability while never collapsing his motives into the purely economic. Flores gives us a well-rounded and nuanced picture of this pivotal second-generation Methodist leader, rooted in Bangs’ own theological and cultural contexts and relevant to current debates.”
