“What is Christian nationalism and why does it matter? Whitehead cuts through the confusion with this powerful and timely book. Crisply written and utterly compelling, American Idolatry will serve as an essential primer for anyone seeking to understand our current moment so we can chart a path toward a more just and compassionate future.”
History & Biography
“Kendra Weddle and Jann Aldredge-Clanton provide a deeply personal portrait of the pioneering life and work of evangelical feminist Letha Dawson Scanzoni. Breaking boundaries as she built bridges, Scanzoni fails to fit any of our conventional categories. And this is precisely the point. Her work and witness demand that we rethink our categories and consider instead a paradigm shift when it comes to what it means to embrace an evangelical faith. By telling Scanzoni's story, this book offers intimate glimpses into the evolution of Christian feminism and of an inclusive faith tradition over the past half century.”
Theology
“What does Abraham Kuyper have to offer to our fractured, twenty-first-century world? With one eye on Kuyper's own context and another on the challenges facing Christians attempting to bring their faith to bear on public life today, this volume of essays offers an essential guide to the relevance—and limitations—of Kuyperian thought in our contemporary moment.”
Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Unflinching in his analysis, David Gushee traces the sobering history of Christianity’s all too frequent complicity in authoritarian rule. Yet Gushee also shows how Christians have within their faith the tools to restore democracy at this critical juncture. Reminding readers that democracy must be fought for, Gushee equips the American church for this battle. Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies is an immensely important book for our present moment.”

“Quite simply, Defying Tyrants is a book every Christian should read. Undermining every case for Christian supremacy, it offers a bracing challenge to those seeking to seize power in the name of Christ. Courageous, clear-eyed, and utterly compelling, this book is a gift to the church and to the world beyond the church--to the neighbors all Christians are called to love and serve.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Deeply informed and immensely clarifying, Faithful Antiracism equips readers to move beyond easy platitudes and good intentions. Its sophisticated engagement with biblical teaching, history, and the social sciences sets this book apart, yet it is so beautifully crafted and compellingly written that it still manages to be a page-turner. This book is a gift to the American church.”
Following Jesus in a Warming World
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Kyle Meyaard-Schaap is a storyteller, and in issuing 'a Christian call to climate action' he invites readers to listen to others' stories—to theological stories, to political and historical stories, and to deeply personal stories. Most importantly, by educating, equipping, and inspiring, he invites readers to inhabit a redemptive story. Following Jesus in a Warming World is an essential guide for individuals and churches seeking wisdom and loving kindness, and pursuing justice in an era of climate change.”
Christian Living
“This is the book I have been waiting for. Every page, every sentence imparts uncommon wisdom for such a time as this. Sparingly written yet conveying remarkable historical and theological depth, this is a book every Christian should read and reread, now and in the days ahead. An invaluable gift to the twenty-first-century church.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Bringing a philosophical scalpel to evangelical truth claims, Scott Coley demonstrates with devastating precision how much of what passes as ‘biblical’ can better be understood as propaganda, as the deliberate obfuscation of reality in the interest of propping up self-serving hierarchies of authority and submission. Witty, hard-hitting, and engaging, this book is for those already alarmed by evangelicals’ authoritarian proclivities, but also for evangelicals themselves, for those genuinely invested in pursuing what is good and true.”
Mother of Modern Evangelicalism
History & Biography
Foreword
“In this richly textured account, Migliazzo presents a compelling portrait of a complex, even at times enigmatic figure. . . . Mears’s story is essential reading for those seeking to understand the challenges confronting white evangelicals today as they continue to struggle to navigate the shoals of judgment and grace.”
Men
“For millions of men shaped by evangelical purity culture, Non-Toxic Masculinity will be a breath of fresh air. Rather than offer lists of prohibitions and idealistic expectations, Zachary Wagner situates the conversation within a broader redemptive narrative—one that allows for imperfection while rejecting the dehumanization of women and men, one that decenters sexual morality without abandoning biblical guidance, and one that is filled with humility and grace.”
History & Biography
“Beautifully crafted and deftly argued, Reading Evangelicals offers a deeply perceptive analysis of modern evangelicalism through the lens of popular Christian fiction. Carefully researched and laden with keen insights, the book will stand as an essential contribution to the study of American evangelicalism.”
Science & Faith
“Filled with beauty, wisdom, and a vision for how things might be, this book itself serves as a refuge for the weary, discouraged, and disheartened. Imaginatively conceived and gorgeously written, it is a work of profound insight and deep goodness.”
History & Biography
“In this beautifully crafted memoir, Cait West offers readers an intimate glimpse into growing up and coming of age in a world defined by Christian patriarchy. Written with unusual sensitivity and unflinching honesty, hers is a story of aching loss and gritty resilience, of brokenness, beauty, and hope.”
History & Biography
“Lyrically written and richly textured, Roots and Rhythm is the best sort of memoir: captivating, entertaining, and subtly coaxing readers to live their own lives more wholeheartedly.”

Marriage, Family & Relationships
“This book is so incredibly powerful! If you’ve ever read a Christian book on sex and marriage, you owe it to yourself to read this one. Armed with extensive survey data and equipped with compassion and common sense, the authors dismantle the devastating myths long promoted by Christian leaders that have caused untold damage to generations of Christian women. Equal parts distressing and liberating, this book is desperately needed in this moment.”
History & Biography
“With raw honesty, deep insight, and a self-deprecating sense of humor, Jon Ward offers an insider’s view into the White evangelical world in which he was raised. Rubbing elbows with prominent figures and seemingly destined to take up the mantle of leadership, he instead chose to walk away from it all. Through his eyes we see the inner logic of that world, what draws people in and what drives people away. Testimony will be illuminating for those who have walked this path and for those struggling to understand the world of conservative evangelicalism from the outside.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“This is a book for survivors, for churches who have failed victims, for those who seek to mourn with those who mourn, and for those who love justice and endeavor to bring healing and renewal. By weaving together biblical narratives and contemporary stories with her own painful past, Ruth Everhart unflinchingly confronts the culture of silence, shame, and denial that too often characterizes a Christian response to abuse. This is a book of reckoning.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In this bracing cri de coeur, Malcolm Foley cuts through lies and obfuscations to locate greed at the root of race and racism. Marshaling compelling historical and theological evidence, The Anti-Greed Gospel presents a searing critique of the status quo and points Christians to a redemptive path forward. A must-read book for the American church.”
