The Gospel According to Eve

History & Biography

“At a time when women and men alike are reassessing the role of women in Christian tradition, Amanda Benckhuysen offers an invaluable resource. For two thousand years, interpreters have been looking to the biblical Eve to discern God's will for women. By bringing to light long-forgotten women's voices, Benckhuysen recovers a fascinating history of female biblical interpretation—one that reveals complex, creative, and often empowering visions of Christian womanhood. The Gospel According to Eve is a gift to scholars, pastors, and laypeople and perhaps especially to Christian women.”

The Hope in Our Scars

“and grace, Aimee Byrd shows that there can be beauty even in the midst of brokenness and that the true church of Christ is a place of healing, restoration, and hope. A beautiful testimony of compassion and resilience.”

The Justice of Jesus

Theology

“Filled with truth and grace, The Justice of Jesus invites Western Christians to rethink what it is that God requires of us. A justice-oriented faith will be costly, Joash Thomas warns, but this is not a dour book. Theologically grounded and refreshingly practical, it is above all a compassionate call for all Christians to walk together in the way of Christ.”

The Violent Take It by Force

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“With its meticulous research, lively writing, and exceptionally nuanced analysis, The Violent Take It by Force pulls back the curtain on the radical religious movement once occupying the fringes of American Christianity but now situated within reach of the centers of American power. This book should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand Christian nationalism and the threat it poses to American democracy.”

Turning Points in American Church History

World Religions

“This is a gem of a book. Masterfully conceived and executed, Turning Points in American Church History is smart, lively, and highly instructive. With expert command of the scholarly literature and the voice and heart of a teacher, Elesha Coffman brilliantly distills nearly five centuries of Christian history into thirteen vibrant episodes. Christians and non-Christians, scholars and novices, college and seminary students, church groups and armchair readers will all find the book illuminating, accessible, and engaging. A rare feat.”

Unruly Saint

History & Biography

“Unruly Saint is a book for those who have never quite known what to do with Dorothy Day, or perhaps what to do with themselves. Winsome, earnest, and disruptive, it is a delightfully provocative read.”

What If Jesus Was Serious about the Church?

“At a time when many are questioning the value of church or giving up on it altogether, Skye Jethani offers a delightful reminder of what church is and is not. Equal parts winsome and wise, this slim primer packs a wealth of biblical insight and offers a compelling vision for what the church of Christ can be.”

When Thoughts and Prayers Aren't Enough

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“It's hard to think of a more polarizing topic than gun control, but When Thoughts and Prayers Aren't Enough reminds us that before we talk policy, we need to listen to people's stories. As a shooting survivor, Taylor Schumann invites us into her story before inviting us to consider broader policy issues and the responsibility of Christians to address the well-being of our neighbors. The result is a poignant and clarifying book that will help facilitate a much-needed conversation.”

Women in the Story of Jesus

Women

“A treasury of writings by women, on women, and frequently for women, this carefully researched collection provides a valuable addition to the growing field of scholarship examining how women have read and interpreted the Bible. Going beyond mere recovery, this volume engages in the long overdue project of analysis and integration. Biblical scholars, historians, scholars of reception history, clergy, and general readers alike will find this book engaging and illuminating.”
