Theology

“Demonstrating her encyclopedic knowledge and capacious mind, Allen delivers an engaging tour of ideas and great figures across millennia concerning the perception of woman and man. Written with precision, depth, and not a little wit, this synthesis of her three-volume work provides an invaluable resource for all students of history, philosophy, and theology.”

The Great Story and the Great Commission

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The Great Story and the Great Commission calls us to reimagine the Bible as God’s grand narrative expressing God’s purpose and our participation in God’s mission. From his extensive biblical scholarship and experience with the global church, Wright brings the Bible’s story to life. In this beautifully written and accessible book, Wright encourages each believer to embrace the mission of God and so discover God’s whole mission for the whole church.”

The Imago Dei

Theology

“In the quest to understand the imago Dei doctrine, one can find no better guide that Peppiatt’s The Imago Dei. Peppiatt explains the major theological positions clearly and explores their ramifications for understanding the human body, other creatures, and the created world. . . . This slim volume holds a treasure of information and provides an invaluable resource for pastor, professor, and student alike.”

The New Testament in Color

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The New Testament in Color is informative, prophetic, reflective, and inspiring. The authors, drawn from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, are self-aware of their social location and write with a hermeneutic of trust in Scripture. This volume makes an extraordinary contribution to New Testament studies and sets the standard for future commentaries.”

The New Testament in Its World

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Masterful job by Wright and Bird, written with characteristic jauntiness and scholarly rigor. The numerous sidebars add spice to the substantial meal presented in the text. The book’s power lies in its thorough historical study combined with its missional voice to the church today.”

The Samaritan Woman's Story

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“If ever a story needs retelling, it is that of the falsely maligned Samaritan woman (John 4). Reeder sets the record straight—the Samaritan woman is not the sexual sinner alleged by previous commentators. Reeder brings to life the woman's historical circumstances and expertly locates this story within the overarching narrative and theology of John's Gospel. Reeder reclaims the Samaritan woman's voice for the church today. Beautifully written, pastors and lay leaders alike will be inspired and encouraged to raise up women theologians, teachers, and evangelists.”

The Vision of Ephesians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With characteristic clarity and vivid metaphors, Tom Wright sets Ephesians within the biblical narrative of redemption, drawing on Old Testament passages and the historical milieux of the Jewish and Roman cultures of Paul’s day. Building on Paul’s joyous anticipation of new creation that pervades the epistle, Wright highlights the mission of the church, its unity and holiness. Under Wright’s adroit pastoral care, The Vision of Ephesians sings with worship to the glory of God.”

To Be Welcomed as Christ

“This delightful collection of essays addresses hospitality, friendship, and community in the life of the church. Each chapter is beautifully written, honest, thoughtful, uplifting, hopeful—a true testimony to Okholm’s passion for theological reflection and community flourishing.”

Traumatized Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In Traumatized Church, we meet St. Paul as we’ve never seen him: as a traumatized apostle. McKnight, a leading New Testament scholar, and Gibson, an experienced counselor, offer compelling stories and accessible information about the nature of trauma and how we can heal from it. Their persuasive arguments empower churches to establish and maintain healthy cultures and trauma-sensitive spaces. Scripture, read through a trauma lens, comes alive with hope and healing as the gospel reshapes our trauma through reflection on Christ’s life.”
