Foolishness to Gentiles

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“If one is seeking a contemporary John the Baptist, then Michael Budde may be the one sought: crying out in the wilderness, making plain judgments we’d rather obscure. Herein are hard realities and honest appraisals of distressing failures. Yet he does not despair, and points us toward truths which all of us in the American empire desperately need. May God bless the reading of this book, and the reception of its words.”

How Not to Kill a Muslim

World Religions

“In pointing us back to Genesis and the imagination of Jesus--especially as evidenced in the parable of the Good Samaritan--Josh Graves provides us with some of the basic fodder necessary for Christians to make much needed advances in our relations with American Muslims. May God grant that we all foster the sort of imagination to which Josh calls us.”

Letters from “Apartheid Street”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Life After Suffering

Christian Living

“Chris has gifted us with his story, sharing it only after thinking and praying and weeping--and communally so--long and hard and well. Life After Suffering is a deeply moving and personal account of loss and new hope, some of which I personally witnessed; it narrates well Chris's own profound suffering, and does so in a manner theologically well-crafted, and in faithful continuity with the biblical story.”

One Nation over God

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“There are hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of American Christians looking for a book like this. Indeed, our entire country desperately needs to grapple with the insights raised here. Gentle, gracious, and provocative is not an easy combination to achieve, but Wes Crawford does so with remarkable clarity and care.”

The Slavery of Death

Theology

“Beck is like the 'rabbi trained for the kingdom of heaven' that Jesus talked about: a master pulling out things old and new, weaving together ancient theology and contemporary psychology in a way altogether provocative and compelling, rightfully re-orienting us with regard to some of our most basic convictions. Good, good, good work.”

Trains, Jesus, and Murder

Arts & Literature

“Trains, Jesus, and Murder is a moving account of Johnny Cash, which simultaneously teaches us much about the cultural matrix we call Americana and the meaning of the gospel--one that encompasses our deep brokenness and the possibilities of a grace so beautiful that it could only be approached in lyric and song.”
