Ecclesiastes

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“'Of the making of books there is no end,' says Qohelet. And I am glad that he is right. Were it not so, we'd not have in our hands this new and engaging commentary by Pete Enns. Qohelet explores the deep questions of human existence to the roots, and Enns follows, in what is a challenging confrontation with this theologically important and much-neglected book of Holy Scripture.”

Handbook on Postconservative Theological Interpretation

Theology

“Theology moves on, and our terminology with it. In every age, we’ve tried to capture in short hand the new and diverse perspectives and movements. ‘Post-liberal,’ ‘progressive,’ and ‘post-conservative’ are recent examples. We can no longer speak as informed believers about a world that’s a few thousand years old or of a Bible with no human foibles. For the post-convervatives, of which I am one, we believe that the results of serious inquiry comport well with a robust belief in the tenets of traditional Christian orthodoxy. Within the pages of this volume the reader will discover what I and others have in mind.”

I Love Jesus & I Accept Evolution

Science & Faith

“In this new book, Denis Lamoureux helps us understand how Christians can take the Word of God in Scripture and the Word of God in creation seriously at the same time. Perhaps we are at last coming to a time when even very conservative evangelicals will be able to marvel at the long and beautiful process that God used to create our world.”

Rehabilitating Inerrancy in a Culture of Fear

Theology

“In more cases than not, it is fear--not a pursuit of the truth--that stands behind evangelical debates about the Bible and inerrancy. Bovell elucidates this problem and, by laboring to address it, helps us move forward in our quest to carry on a civil, informed theological discussion about God's written word.”

The Evolution of Adam

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“For too long evangelical Christians have dodged the implications of modern biology for our understanding of the Bible and theology. Foremost, we have failed to face the unassailable fact that death, rather than being the historical consequence of Adam’s sin, was a part of the natural cycle that created our forebears. What shall we do with Genesis and Paul in light of these facts? Enns blazes a trail that engaged Christians can follow.”
