Theology
“A scholarly, rigorous, and ecumenically winsome work, Butner’s Christological Dogmatics invites us to learn from Christ as he comes to us in the Scriptures and to grow in our confession of his person and work through a renewed dialogue with key historic and contemporary voices in Christology. Most impressive, Butner integrates dogmatic lessons in Christology and the ethical life in a way that draws us into the beauty of our participation by grace in the incarnate Son’s life in the Spirit through union with him. Further readings at the end of each chapter and a final glossary add to the pedagogical value of the book.”
Theology
“What if theology and life were seen through a Holy Spirit lens? Anticipating and contributing toward a Third Article Theology, Pinnock's Flame of Love invites the reader on a thought-provoking ecumenical journey of heart and mind through the pneumatic foundations and implications of Christian theology. Castelo's winsome commentaries and helpful updates add pedagogical value to this revised edition of Pinnock's classic for a new generation of readers.”
Healing the Wounds of the Displaced
Church Leadership & Ministry
“What would a pastoral approach to immigration, written by an immigrant working among immigrants on the front lines of ministry, look like? Zamora gives us not only a realistic picture of such ministry and its challenges, but a hopeful way to embody an ecclesiology of accompaniment and solidarity with immigrant neighbors today. Weaving together relevant demographics, storytelling, theological reflections, and pastoral experience, Zamora puts a human face on the traumas experienced by immigrant neighbors, their hunger for belonging, and the church's call to attend to their holistic needs and rejoice in their gifts.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“This groundbreaking work offers us a theologically rich account of four Lutheran churches creatively engaged in the formation of catechumens today. More important, in light of the data, Burreson and Schuler invite us to ask: What might our own churches look like if we dare to be hospitable to neighbors looking for belonging by incarnating missionally and enacting ritually the catechumen’s journey to Jesus? If you dare to find out and be changed in the process, read this jewel!”
Theology
“The Western shift to postmodernity has made contemporary theologians afraid to make any claims about reality as a whole. Bayer is different. Through Silcock's groundbreaking translation of a new and expanded English edition of his classic Promissio, Bayer dares to show a whole new generation of readers and scholars how Luther's reformational understanding of the unity of God's word of promise and the certainty of faith not only unlocks the Reformer's whole theology but touches on every aspect of our lives. A tour de force!”
The Holy Spirit in the Christian Life
Theology
“Peterson has composed for us a beautiful, well-constructed, and inspiring symphonic poem in three movements. As a seasoned Lutheran theologian whose work is a prayer for the unity of a divided church in a world yearning for the spiritual life, she writes a balanced-yet-engaging symphony in an ecumenical and missional key. Under the grand theme of the Holy Spirit as our life giver, companion, and empowerer, the composer joyfully invites us to participate in the transformative work of the Spirit for us, in us, and through us. Bravo! Encore!”
Christian Living
“In North America, ambition has become an object of hope, and paradoxically, a source of despair, resignation, and hopelessness. Yet rather than attacking ambition, Ryan P. Tinetti places it in its proper place, not as a replacement for our hope in the newness of life but as its servant. With theological depth and pastoral wisdom, the author invites weary and withdrawn souls to see the great things God is already doing to make all things new as his Spirit channels our holy desires for Christlike service through our little, everyday tasks and quiet, unassuming lives. A hope-filled book!”
“The Sword and the Mask offers a comprehensive and incisive assessment of two influential Western approaches to the field of spiritual warfare today. . . . Steering away from both the neglect and the sensationalism so common in spiritual-warfare discussions in churches today, this work is a much-needed, refreshing, and satisfying guide to a difficult and complex topic.”
