Cascade Companion to Evil

Philosophy

“A humane and scholarly yet eminently readable discussion from a Christian viewpoint of how evil can exist in a universe created out of love. Charles Taliaferro provides a compelling vision of a world disrupted by human freedom but redeemed by divine love. This attractively written book is ideal both for personal reading and for use in discussion groups.”

Christianity and the Rights of Animals

“A wise, illuminating, and moving book in practical theology—a real pleasure to read.”

Embracing Vulnerability

Faiths and Faithfulness

Evangelism & Missions

“Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Bristol 'Dr. Wood deals with one of the major problems of Christian thought today, the place of Christian mission in a pluralistic world. This is a major contribution to thinking about Christian mission in the modern world, and argues for a committed Christiological approach which is also sensitive to and appreciative of non-Christian faiths. It is an impressive and important book.”

God and Gravity

Science & Faith

“Philip Clayton is a philosopher and theologian to be reckoned with, and one of the most positive and creative writers on religion and science. This is a very illuminating introduction to his thinking.”

God in an Open Universe

Reasonable Faith for a Post-Secular Age

Philosophy

“This set of essays is a penetrating philosophical critique of philosophical naturalism, and a defense of a more open concept of rationality, that is able to take religion seriously. A very important contribution to debates about philosophy, metaphysics, and faith.”

Reasonable Radical?

Theology

“An excellent introduction to a theologian who represents the best of contemporary Anglican thought, with a deep spirituality firmly rooted in reality.”

Spirit of Liberality

Theology

“Liberal theology is not dead! In this outstanding series of essays, as well as giving a liberal meaning to the word liberal, the author shows that liberal thought has been present in theology throughout the ages, and that it is to be celebrated, not feared.”

Spiritual Healing

Theology

“This groundbreaking study of spiritual healing probes the scientific and philosophical issues with clarity and insight. Essential for anyone looking for trustworthy guidance on these issues.”

The God Who Trusts

Theology

“In this beautifully written book, Dr. Holtzen argues that the apparently shocking statement that God has faith, hope, and trust is both biblical and reasonable. It is a fine contribution to an important modern school of evangelical theology.”

The Intolerable God

Philosophy

“Essential reading for all those interested in the history of philosophical and theological thought.”

The Observer and the Observed

Philosophy

“This is definitely a worth-while book, an original approach to the ‘God-question’ based on personhood and deserves a hearing. I am in strong agreement with its argument. Chris has provided some valuable insights in it, and it is attractively argued.”

The Tradition of Liberal Theology

Theology

“A readable, clear, jargon-free exposition and defense of liberal theology that dispels many misunderstandings and stereotypes. Langford provides a positive and attractive account of what liberal theology is and why it is a compelling interpretation of Christian faith in the modern age. . . . The book is outstanding in its rationality, its clarity, and its charitable tone. Anyone who refers to 'liberal theology,' either for or against it, will find here a reliable guide to what liberal Christian theology is at its best.”

The Uncontrolling Love of God

Theology

“This is a scholarly and readable book arguing that God is essentially a God of self-giving love, and that this provides a way of seeing how evil can exist in a world created by God. It is an important theological work, and continues Oord's project of constructing a fully Christian 'open and relational' theology.”

Unknowing God

Theology

“A hard-hitting, immensely readable, mind-expanding plea for a less negative, timid, and oppressive form of religious faith, which should be read by all ‘believers.’”
