Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“One of the most engaging and significant books on Jeremiah to come across my desk in recent years. Epp-Tiessen's book is intelligent, bold, and replete with exegetical insight! It will no doubt enrich all those interested in prophetic literature and the tortuous question of true and false prophecy. I commend it enthusiastically.”

“A wonderful resource for non-specialist students of the Bible! Fr. John Hill brings fresh insight, passion, and erudition to Constructing Exile, a superb primer that teachers will appreciate as a companion volume in their undergraduate, seminary, and graduate courses on the Bible. I will use it in mine!”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Written with wondrous theological sensitivity and sophisticated interpretive skill, Terry Giles’s Conversing with God is perfect for book clubs, Bible studies, or classrooms that are daring enough to explore the power and vulnerability of conversational prayers in the Hebrew Scriptures. Following in the footsteps of Martin Buber’s ‘I-Thou’ philosophy, this little book is a treasure grove of insights on divine-human dialogue, then and now.”
Theology
“Walter Brueggeman's Disruptive Grace delivers a provocative and penetrating challenge to the powers and principalities of our contemporary world. This concentrate of 'grace and truth' not only exposes these forces of death but with master skill imagines a way out of the morass. One could only hope that the torrent from Brueggemann's pen never ends...for the good of us all! And Carolyn J. Sharp's exquisite comments and painstaking editorial work are a fitting tribute.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“'What shall we do with all the violence . . . done in the Old Testament in the name of Yahweh?' Walter Brueggemann addresses this pressing question with theological candor, exegetical rigor, and literary eloquence. For all those vexed by texts of violence in the Bible, this splendid little book is a 'must-read.'”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A deeply moving and lyrical performance by one of today's leading biblical scholars. Kathleen M. O'Connor's thoroughly original interpretation of the book of Jeremiah is a 'must-read' for all who have been wounded by violence and loss.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In this daring and erudite study of the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 587 BCE, Robert Canfield brings clarity to the process of meaning-making and moral imagination in biblical texts grappling with individual and community suffering.”
Christian Living
“Chris Williams is a survivor and his memoir is nothing less than a survival manual for those struggling with their own inexplicable suffering. His poignant words pulsate with pain and at the same time, astonishingly, testify to hope beyond unspeakable loss, the possibility that one can somehow get through the worst of times. For this we are deeply indebted to the author!”
Preaching & Worship
“Walter Brueggemann's Preaching Jeremiah is as daring, imaginative, and counter-cultural as the text it explicates. This "experiment in homiletics" will delight not only preachers and poets but any serious student of the Bible and practitioner of social justice.”
The Story of Naomi—The Book of Ruth
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“An exquisite and daring performance of an ancient story that many dismiss as benign. Giles and Doan capture nuances of the book of Ruth that will delight readers and at the same time problematize twenty-first-century social norms. Bravo!”
Truth-Telling as Subversive Obedience
Theology
“"Walter Brueggemann has inspired more pastors and congregations than anyone else of our generation. And he continues this good work in a compelling collection of essays and sermons rooted deeply in the text and in prophetic imagination. Truth-Telling as Subversive Obedience trades in a sort of primal candor that dares to confront our most cherished conventions. Perhaps even more strikingly, this little book creates space for the loving embrace of God. Extraordinary stuff that we have come to depend on!”
