Theology
“William Klempa’s translation of Karl Barth’s Safenwil sermons at the outbreak of World War I, accompanied by a very fine introduction that sets the historical and theological context, represents the culmination of a careful, critically appreciative, and lifelong engagement by Klempa with Barth’s theology. All readers of Barth are indebted to Klempa, a seasoned interpreter of Barth, for making a new English translation of this important part of the Barth corpus available.”
Theology
“Awe and Expectation is a stunning account of stewardship grounded in the mysteries of the gospel and the core practices of the church. Allen Jorgenson wisely reminds us that stewardship has to do with who God is and what God has done, and the means through which God acts in and through us. I wish I'd had a book like this when I was leading stewardship programs as the pastor of a local congregation.”
World Religions
“In this breathtaking study of global Christianity and Islam, Wafik W. Wahba delivers a sweeping account of the history, politics, and beliefs of Christianity and Islam as global religions. As an Egyptian Christian who teaches in North America, Wahba is uniquely positioned to tell this story, and he does so to great effect. This is a 'must-read' for any Christian who wants to think better about Islam today.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In a courageous and carefully written book, Brian Cunnington invites us to consider this: if we take the Bible as seriously as our own thoughts about same-sex sexuality, the only faithful and just response is the full inclusion of gay and lesbian people in the church.”

Church Leadership & Ministry
“This book brilliantly illumines the life of Asian immigrant churches in Canada today and what their ministries might look like tomorrow.”
Theology
“Breathtaking in scope and brimming with insight, Nigel Kumar brings the voice of the Indian lay theologian, Pandipeddi Chenchiah, into the global scholarly conversation about the meaning of religion. Using Chenchiah's insights, Kumar perceptively and persuasively argues that a theology of religions is not only possible, it is necessary. A fine example of constructive contextual theology set within the grand narrative of the Christian tradition.”
