A Beautiful Bricolage

Theology

“Silas Krabbe has produced a wide-ranging and engaging entree into the multiple varieties of theopoetic work, which succeeds in sorting out their divergences and intersections and assesses their contributions to a conversation that lies at the heart of what is called radical theology.”

After Crucifixion

Theology

“Craig Keen has produced a poignant, prayerful, personal, passionate, poetic, and profound introduction to theology. . . . Ever erudite and eloquent, inventive, wide-ranging, and surprising, After Crucifixion draws us into theology's movements, catches us up in its sweep, luring us into the heady, heartfelt venture into mystery all around and within us that we call theology, that theology calls up.”

Building a Community of Interpreters

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This [book] reads beautifully, is chock-full of lovely reflections and insightful asides, and has all the marks of a great preacher. Whoever heard these sermons should thank their lucky stars. I think this text is exactly the sort of intelligent spiritual reflection the best presses are looking for: warm but not soppy, reflective but not intellectualistic.”

Could God Fail?

Science & Faith

“What is theology to make of the prevailing scientific view that the expanding universe is headed for utter destruction, with nothing left standing? What if this means that God set out in creating the world to bring order to chaos, but God ultimately fails? What does that mean for God? For our faith in God? What does it mean for love? My hat is off to Ned Wisnefske for exploring these questions with a boldness that is rarely found in theology.”

Dancing in the Wild Spaces of Love

Theology

“Dancing in the Wild Spaces of Love is everything we have come to expect from Jim Olthuis—a beautifully written, carefully argued, wide-ranging analysis of the centrality of love in our lives, a veritable philosophical hymn to love. Olthuis is a bright light in these dark days, a balm for an age of anger, rage, and divisiveness in which love is an increasingly scarce commodity. We have never needed him more than now.”

Graven Ideologies

Philosophy

“Graven Ideologies meets a long-standing demand for a presentation of the theological significance of the work of Nietzsche, Derrida, Levinas and Marion in American English, that is, in a language we can all understand. It raises the level of discussion of these provocative continental thinkers by showing the positive import of their critique of metaphysics--which is mistakenly assumed to be something destructive--as a critique of idolatry that is an essential ingredient in any biblical view. By doing all this in a lively and readable prose, in illuminating comparisons and contrasts, Benson has made a significant contribution to the growing American discussion of theology from a continental perspective.”

Preaching After God

Preaching & Worship

“In Preaching After God Snider adroitly shows that postmodern theology will preach! He mounts an impressive argument that 'homiletics of the event' is the best way to reach a world . . . He has an ear for postmodern theory and the gift of telling us what preaching needs to be. A must read for theologians and preachers alike.”
