As You See the Day Approaching
Theology
“This volume is an exegetically faithful, theologically sound, and practically relevant series of essays, written from a redemptive-historical Reformed perspective, on what Scripture teaches about 'the last things.' Scholars, ministers, and all thoughtful Christians who desire to live in the world but not of the world will find it edifying, illuminating, and accessible.”
Theology
“Muller's masterful treatment of God's will and human free choice is exemplary. It clearly and accurately presents the positions held by medieval and early modern Reformed theologians rather than spinning them in favor of a preferred position or conclusion. Muller has command of both the historical and contemporary philosophical categories and positions involved in theological debates, and he fruitfully relates historic positions to current philosophical and theological debates without anachronistically treating our theological ancestors as our philosophical contemporaries.”
Science & Faith
“I heartily recommend Stan Wallace’s timely book—a fraternal but forceful critique of ‘neurotheology,’ the attempt by some evangelical Christians to redefine the human soul, mind, and spirit entirely as generated and animated by the brain. Wallace clearly explains why this implicitly materialistic perspective conflicts with Scripture, Christian doctrine, sound philosophy, proper science, and healthy spirituality. Instead, he encourages appropriation of sound neuroscience within the historic Christian perspective that affirms the basic distinctness and holistic integration of both body and soul.”
Christian Living
“This deeply biblical book enriches the perspective promoted by such Christian leaders as Richard Mouw, Charles Colson, and Neal Plantinga. It combines evangelical piety, sound doctrine, and the world-engaging view of the Christian life developed in the Reformed tradition of Abraham Kuyper.”
Measuring the Distance between Locke and Toland
Philosophy
“This book is a fine example of 'revisionist' scholarship done properly. It is not a 'creative' or 'liberating' new interpretation, but an insightful re-reading of the primary texts and scholarly literature that is historically, philosophically, and theologically well informed.”
Philosophy
“Van Reken's book is a significant achievement--a clear, thorough, cogent, and readily accessible defense of classical moral realism in an age of moral constructivism and relativism. One of its strengths is that although his conclusions comport well with Christian and other religious views of ethics, his analysis and arguments are philosophical and not dependent on distinctly religious assumptions. This book merits consideration by all who are interested in metaethics.”
Time, Eternity, and the Trinity
Theology
“Kim makes a significant contribution to the current debate about time, eternity, and God. His biblical, theological, and philosophical scholarship is thorough and insightful. His analogical-trinitarian solution, developed from Barth and von Balthassar, is constructive and articulate. It is a valuable addition even if traditional theology provides an analogical understanding of eternity.”
