Preaching & Worship
“Against our culture’s increasingly transhumanist anthropology, David Taylor reminds us that to be human means not merely to have a body but to be embodied. And at the heart of God’s design for embodied persons made in his image is worship—worship that praises God, celebrates his good creation, and joyously engages every dimension of our corporeal and corporate existence.”
Theology
“If the church is to succeed in forming people who look like Jesus, it will need a theology that is up to the task. In this wonderful introduction, Clark and Johnson show us that theology is not the dusty domain of academic specialists but real, saving, and transforming knowledge of the living God given by Christ to his church for a purpose: the edification and maturity of God’s people into the image of Christ.”
“The way of Advent is the way of waiting. In this guide through Advent's ancient prayers and practices, Tish Harrison Warren teaches us why we wait and how we wait for the One who was and is and is to come. Come, Lord Jesus!”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“What does it mean to be human and to behave humanly? Robert Kneip argues persuasively that an ultimate answer cannot be found apart from a comprehensive understanding of reality rooted in the biblical narrative of Genesis. That narrative grounds and encompasses the entire canon of Scripture, framing God’s purposes for a redeemed humanity within the bounds of his good creation. We are not lost in the cosmos; we are of the earth and made to serve and keep it!”
Preaching & Worship
“Liturgy, sacraments, the Christian year, creeds—for too long evangelicals have dismissed these as the stuff of dead religion. But this lovely book shows that, when founded upon a Christ-centered faith, they can become powerful channels of God's beauty, grace, and love, and antidotes to the bleakness of our modern life.”
Preaching & Worship
“Younger Christians are being spiritually renewed today through ancient Christian worship, community, and spiritual practice. Weaving wide- ranging research with scholarly wisdom, Winfield Bevins tells us their stories, and we find ourselves renewed as well.”
Christian Living
“In It Takes a Church to Baptize, Scot McKnight offers the most compelling case for infant baptism available today. Not content to sprinkle with prooftexts, McKnight immerses his reader in the biblical, historical, and sacramental theology of this ancient Christian practice, and seals it with a testimony of how his mind was changed. Read this book—and remember your baptism!”
Living Wisely with the Church Fathers
History & Biography
“In our age in which passion is prized at the expense of real love, Chris Hall reminds us that there is another way—an ancient Christian way of godly wisdom—that leads to a well-ordered heart, a peace-filled mind, and a love-ruled life, rooted and established in living union with our Lord Jesus Christ. Take and read!”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“The renewal of Christian catechesis is mission-critical to the church in late modernity—as it has been in epochs before. Expertly (and eloquently!) retrieving the treasures of catechetical wisdom from ages past, Alex Fogleman has provided us with a wonderfully wise and immensely practical guide to making disciples in the twenty-first century.”
Theology
“A chorus of scholarly voices in recent years has (re)called our attention to the unabashedly christological reading of the Old Testament by early Christian theologians. In this excellent exploration of second- and third-century exegetes, Kyle Hughes tells us both how they came to read Scripture this way and why. Highly recommended!”
Preaching & Worship
“We need to reset our clocks to Jesus' time, and Paul Louis Metzger's book helps us to do just that. Filled with wise meditations throughout the Christian year, this book is a sure guide for Christian pastors, churches, and families.”
The Breadth and Depth of the Atonement
Theology
“In this delightful collection of essays, Chris Kettler leads us through an exhibition of the inexhaustible joy and vivifying power of Christ's vicarious humanity in relation to the whole scope of human life--its tragedy, its beauty, and its God-imaged greatness.”
Theology
“The Incarnation of God is a theological juggernaut grinding into dust all modern dichotomous thinking about the person and work of Jesus Christ. Reclaiming grossly neglected biblical, patristic, and reformational teaching, Clark and Johnson reestablish the incarnation as the proper center and ground for all evangelical theology, and demonstrate with profundity and potency the tectonic implications of our Lord’s assumption of human flesh.”
The Last Enemy to Be Destroyed
Theology
“In stark contrast to the modern notion that death is the wholly natural end of our wholly material lives, Scripture makes clear that death is our enemy—indeed, our final enemy. In this lovely book, Ralph Hawkins comforts his readers through the biblical story of God’s destruction of death ‘by death,’ culminating in death’s final defeat by our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Christian Living
“Amid today’s desperate and hollow quest for ‘identity,’ Kevin Emmert reminds us that to be a Christian means not only to identify with Christ but also to be in Christ. And the gateways of grace through which God draws us into Christ and forms us in his image are the very sacraments of baptism and Communion given us by Christ in Scripture.”
