Divine Violence and the Character of God

Theology

“A deeply held conviction of the New Testament authors was that the God portrayed in the Old Testament is indeed the ‘God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.’ I am extremely grateful for this book, in which Mariottini eruditely and convincingly defends this most basic conviction . . . . What you will find here is a bold and faithful demonstration that the Old Testament God and the New Testament God are, indeed, one and the same God.”

God Calling

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The author, who, I am proud to say, is one of my former students, has written a very timely, witty, entertaining, and yet at the same time sobering book. He does a fine job and a great service to the church in delineating false assumptions, especially as it relates to understanding and ascertaining God’s will. . . . I recommend it highly!”

Is God a Vindictive Bully?

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this very important and much-needed volume, Copan does a marvelous job of dealing with arguments that would introduce a separation between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament. With erudition he skillfully answers ‘critics from without’ and, unfortunately, ‘critics from within’ who advocate for this harmful dichotomy. I am extremely grateful for this faithful defense of the repeated affirmation in the New Testament that the God portrayed in the Old Testament is, indeed, ‘the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Treasuring the Psalms

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Unfortunately, for much of the Christian church today, the book of Psalms is like a 'treasure hidden in a field.' The author of this volume has, however, performed an invaluable service in taking his readers on a 'treasure hunt' to rediscover this buried trove. With academic skill, literary flair, and yet wonderful clarity, Vaillancourt proves himself to be a reliable guide. My advice: sell all you have, buy the book, and join the author as he shows you how to read, pray, and treasure the book of Psalms in all its canonical and christological fullness.”
