An Invitation to Analytic Christian Theology

Theology

“With a lively combination of theoretical and constructive work, Tom McCall not only introduces but contributes to the budding discipline of analytic theology. Deftly moving between clarifications and programmatic statements on the one hand and case studies on the other, McCall has written a book that will interest student and scholar alike.”

Grace and Social Ethics

Theology

“This is a wonderfully smart, effortlessly learned, and deeply insightful book. Angela Carpenter weaves together the best ideas from science, theology, and ethics to help us understand what it means to be human, and she explains all of it in prose that is not only clear but a genuine pleasure to read. I heartily commend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about these subjects.”

Life among the Powers

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is an elegant, smart, insightful, and timely work. Rick Elgendy’s leading insight, to the effect that Christianity is not exterior to the powers-that-be but that this does not preclude meaningful resistance, is provocative, yet he argues compellingly and often movingly on its behalf. This is just the sort of insight we need right now, at a moment when so many of us are trying to discern what it might mean to tackle structural evils. Anyone who cares about these things will be glad to find this book. I heartily recommend it.”

Retrieving Doctrine

Theology

“Oliver Crisp has already established himself as one of the smartest theologians of his generation. Setting his analytic tools to work on a handful of the Reformed tradition's brightest lights, Crisp here contributes to our understanding of both them and their subject matter. The result is an eminently clear, incisive book that I heartily commend to anyone interested in Reformed theology.”

The Essential Karl Barth

Theology

“This is an astonishingly helpful book. Johnson's introductions are clear, elegant, and effortlessly learned, and his selection of texts gives readers not only an overview but an actual feel for Barth's thought. The fact that he does all of this in a single volume is a marvel. For anyone who wants to get a grip on the theology of Karl Barth, this is the book to read!”

The Father of Lights

Theology

“Junius Johnson is easily one of the smartest, most creative, most learned theologians of his generation. Johnson controls all the relevant literature, both theological and theoretical. As an artist in his own right, he has an insider's feel for the topic. And he brings a rare combination of intelligence, insight, and perceptiveness to this material. Most of my students will be interested in this book and so will many people I go to church with. I strongly and enthusiastically recommend it.”

The Pastor Theologian

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Context matters. A pastor who daily faces the challenges and possibilities involved in leading his or her congregation may see things differently than, and develop insights different from, an academic who faces the challenges of classroom teaching and specialized research. Hiestand and Wilson here argue, accordingly, that a revival of pastorally situated theology may provide resources for the renewal for theology and church alike. The result is a clear, compelling vision, clearly and compellingly stated. A welcome book!”
