Arts & Literature
“Jennifer Allen Craft is one of the most important emerging voices in theology and the arts today. This book provides a fascinating exploration of the arts in relation to place, a much-neglected topic. Lucid and lively, it deserves to be very widely read.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Steve Turner has proved himself one of the most accessible writers on the interaction of faith and culture. Popcultured is a welcome and lively exploration of what is fast becoming a crucial field.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Bereza is a highly gifted interviewer and writer. This book is a treasury of wisdom for any who follow the call to Christian leadership.”
Arts & Literature
“For many decades, David Thistlethwaite has been pointing us to the things that matter more than anything else in art: what kind of world we inhabit; the interweaving of beauty, goodness, and truth; and (most of all) how the Bible, far from being alien to the art world, will offer the deepest wisdom the artist will ever find. Bold, humane, and winsome, these essays will be a considerable encouragement to all who care about art today.”
Theology
Foreword
“This is a passionate book, in all the right senses . . . Reading it will not only help to restore the shamed; it will likely restore a godly passion--and few things are more sorely needed in theology today.”
World Religions
“There is a growing body of literature on worship that focuses on concrete images and religious practices, thus 'earthing' a field that often veers toward abstraction. This is a welcome addition to that corpus, which will doubtless deepen our understanding of the richness and complexity of worship in different traditions.”
Theology
“There’s a remarkable single-mindedness about Jeff McSwain, a theological determination that yields insights impossible to ignore. Here he presses us to read Barth’s doctrine of sanctification through Luther’s simul iustus et peccator, and in the process uncovers a wealth of connections and resonances with immense practical consequences for the life of the church. Provocative and game-changing, Barth—and the gospel!—will never sound quite the same again.”
Preaching & Worship
“A much-needed collection. Coming from years of pastoral experience 'in the trenches,' it witnesses in an exceptional way to the power of meter and music to convey the depths of God's Word.”
Preaching & Worship
“A passionate and heartfelt book, which urges that we recover a much-needed stress in worship on the narrative of salvation at the heart of the gospel. In the midst of numerous 'worship wars' we badly need books that reorient us to what really matters.”
T. F. Torrance as Missional Theologian
Theology
“T. F. Torrance's theology is currently attracting a growing volume of literature, and rightly so. This book makes a major contribution to that corpus. Intellectually rigorous and highly readable, the study Sherrard has given us shows well how the implications of Torrance's work extend much further than we might initially think. Highly recommended.”
The Art of God and the Religions of Art
Arts & Literature
“For anyone who cares about the visual arts in today's culture, this is essential reading. David Thistlewaite combines the learning of years of reading and reflection with a passion for the practical and down-to-earth. It is gracious, engaging, and rich in wisdom. I commend it warmly.”
Arts & Literature
“For many decades, the Kuyperian tradition has been at the forefront of nourishing a Christian imagination in the world of the arts. This excellent collection proves the point, as well as demonstrating how Neo-Calvinism can resource artists and Christian thinkers to tackle together the challenges of the future.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Not only is Richard Bauckham a world-class scholar and a poet of wisdom and subtlety, but—as demonstrated here—it seems he can write of a ‘difficult journey with God’ in a way that puts him alongside some of the great spiritual writers of the past. Weaving together autobiography, poetry, and biblical and theological reflections, The Blurred Cross has all the makings of a fresh Christian classic. You will finish the book profoundly grateful, not only to Bauckham for having written it, but even more, to the God who so obviously inspired it.”
Preaching & Worship
“For many years, Nicholas Wolterstorff has helped us penetrate the character of worship, combining the acuity of a philosopher and the wisdom of a lifelong practitioner. Now he brings all this to a head in a superbly written study. . . . Those familiar with Wolterstorff will not be disappointed; newcomers will be greatly stimulated and refreshed. All will be made to think at the deepest levels about this supremely important question: Just who is the God Christians worship?”
Arts & Literature
“Accessible, winsome, and rooted in on-the-ground experience, this book does nothing less than sketch out an entire ‘theatrical ecosystem’ informed by a vibrant scriptural imagination. A must-read for all who seek a generous vision for what has been a much-neglected art in the current theology and arts conversation.”
Arts & Literature
“In this gentle and very readable book Robin Jensen shows clearly why the arts cannot be ignored by the Christian community. The Substance of Things Seen should do much to advance what is already a fast-growing conversation between faith and art.”
Theology
“At a time when Protestant treatments of the arts tend to be marked by excessive shame and breast-beating, studies like this remind us of treasures easily overlooked. For some, Calvin would be the last theologian from whom we might expect wisdom on the liturgical arts. But David Taylor, with exemplary skill and clarity, shows us otherwise. This is an immensely important study from one of the key leaders in theology and the arts today.”
The Vocation of Theology Today
Theology
“This sparkling set of essays is a fitting testimony to the limitless insight that emerges from the unique kind of conversation David has embodied for us and fostered among so many of his friends. The gratitude the reader will feel toward the authors will properly turn into gratitude for the man himself, and for the God whose 'face' David has been inviting us to behold for so many years.”
Union with Christ and the Life of Faith
Theology
“Those who know Fred Sanders’s writing will know he is a master of clarity, concision, and theological wisdom. This book exemplifies these virtues to the full. It would be hard to imagine a better introduction to union with Christ than this.”
