Greed and the Dark Powers in Luke-Acts

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Blythe offers a timely analysis of how Luke links economics and dark spiritual forces. His careful textual analysis is a welcome contribution to Lukan studies that delightfully connects to contemporary problems.”

Moral Choices, Fifth Edition

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Moral Choices puts flesh and bones on the questions of Christian morality through relevant and otherwise polarizing moral topics. Without compromising on theory and biblical foundations, Rae provides a most welcome introductory text that lays out the issues with honesty, candor, and conviction.”

See My Body, See Me

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In the wake of ongoing church abuse scandal and the reality of sexual trauma in our society, Pamela Engelbert provides a comprehensive pastoral resource for church leaders. Academically researched, biblically grounded, and thoroughly Pentecostal, See My Body, See Me is at once sober, practical, and hopeful. It’s both a vindication of local church efforts to address trauma in community and a call to wield Pentecostal practices to facilitate and deepen the work of healing.”
