Resurrection and Responsibility

Theology

“This collection of essays celebrates the breadth and depth of the influence of one of the most remarkable Baptists alive today. The topics covered illustrate the diverse range of Lorenzen's interests and expertise, from biblical and theological scholarship to spiritual and ethical implications for life lived in response to the resurrection of Jesus. Provocative and of uniformly high quality, a testament to the powerful combination of intellectual rigor, commitment to the church, and sensitivity to the world's vulnerable characteristic of Lorenzen's own life.”

Toward a Culture of Freedom

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Combining exegetical acumen with sharp theological insight, Lorenzen has produced a fresh and deeply profound meditation on the Ten Words of the Torah. Filled with historical and contemporary illustrations, Lorenzen proves that the Decalogue is as relevant, practical, challenging, and disturbing today as ever. Highly readable yet informed by a lifetime of scholarly study, Lorenzen's book will be immensely valuable to both pastors and laypersons and would make an excellent supplemental classroom text. The appendices on interpreting the Ten Commandments and on making ethical decisions make a book that is already well worth the price a bargain indeed.”
