All about the Bass

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In our increasingly tribalized culture, Scott Burson’s All about the Bass offers a compelling way forward. This is a marvelously clear Christian adaptation of Moral Foundations Theory (MFT), which is a valuable gift in itself, but Burson does more. Guided by the gospel, Burson leans on the insights of MFT to cast a winsome vision for remaining faithful to our convictions while compassionately sowing peace, empathetically building bridges, and courageously seeking reconciliation. This is essential reading!”

God in Himself

Theology

“This rich and rewarding study demonstrates how the contemplation of God himself, theologia, is not some idle speculation—a distraction from the Christian life or descent into abstraction—but is in fact a spiritual exercise that fuels our communion with God and affirms the shocking nearness of God to us in Jesus Christ. God in Himself is a courageously scriptural work of theology, for Steve Duby dares to let Scripture lead where some have supposed that only metaphysics will take us: to gaze upon the resplendently complete life of the triune God.”

Kierkegaard and the Changelessness of God

Philosophy

“Readers commonly engage Kierkegaard as a provocateur against all those who are smug and comfortable in their Christianity (and he doesn't disappoint!), but Hefner surprises us with a robust engagement with Kierkegaard the theologian. Here we encounter the Great Dane as an unexpected conversation partner in current theological discussions about God's immutability. Metaphysical accounts are often pitted against antimetaphysical ones in recent debates, but Hefner retrieves Kierkegaard to show another way forward: a biblical and theological case for a classical definition of God's immutability but without metaphysics. This is retrieval theology at its best!”
