Bonhoeffer, Christ and Culture
History & Biography
“The bulk of the essays that make up this edited volume derive from the 2012 Wheaton Theology Conference of the same name, 'Bonhoeffer, Christ and Culture.' With several additions from other events and occasions, the result is a diverse and valuable collection of studies on the life and thought of the German Lutheran pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.”
Theology
“Even as more of Abraham Kuyper's voluminous writings become available to Anglophone audiences, revisiting his seminal English-language source, the Stone Lectures of 1898, is a worthwhile and important endeavor. In the intervening century, Kuyper's addresses at Princeton Seminary have been the main touchstone for worldwide familiarity with Kuyper and neo-Calvinism more broadly. This edited volume provides a valuable point of entry to that reception as well as to the significance of the legacy for both today and tomorrow. We should be grateful to the editors and contributors for providing an accessible as well as substantive guide to some of the most salient features of Kuyper's fertile thought.”
Christian Hospitality and Muslim Immigration in an Age of Fear
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In this compelling work Matthew Kaemingk asks what Amsterdam has to do with Mecca, and the answers he finds turn out to have implications the world over. . . . The charity and clarity on display here will challenge Christians to think more deeply, and to act more responsibly, in response to the call to live peacefully and faithfully with Muslim neighbors.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This collection of essays addresses the critical and perpetual questions of human society in a way that challenges both historic errors of Christian cultural and political engagement: complete withdrawal and utter accommodation. One of the most pressing issues in the evangelical world today is the right relationship between Christian ethics and secular law, and this volume makes a substantial contribution to the discussion.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Hunter Baker provides an accessible and insightful primer on the various streams of thought and action at play in American public life. A notable merit of Baker’s work is that it examines clear alternatives while at the same time doing justice to the dynamic variety in and between different schools of thought. Baker paints a clear and compelling picture of the political landscape and in so doing provides a valuable service both for those learning about politics for the first time and for those seeking a refresher and a summary of political thought.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The Bible teaches that ‘it is required of stewards that they be found faithful’ (1 Cor. 4:2 ESV). Practicing the King’s Economy is more than just a clarion call to faithful stewardship; it is an eminently practical guide and a spiritual inspiration to that awesome responsibility. The seed that Practicing the King’s Economy sows promises to blossom into a generation of faithful stewards, whose work and witness are a foretaste of the kingdom to come.”
