Theology
“If The Church from Every Tribe and Tongue teaches us anything, it is that the question, What does it mean to be the church? cannot be divorced from other fundamental matters. Where is the church located? How are the people of God to define their identity and mission in that place? These creative Majority World voices open up new vistas that can only arise from and in commitment to their contexts. But these essays are not simply reflections from diverse parts of the globe that can be held at arm's length as an interesting exercise in ecclesiology. They are profound explorations of the inexhaustible riches of the Word that reveal fresh insights into the church as a situated community.”
Old Testament Ethics: A Guided Tour
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Textually comprehensive, wonderfully conversational, immensely practical, and sensibly direct—all the qualities we expect from Goldingay are on display in Old Testament Ethics: A Guided Tour. The Old Testament matters for life, and Goldingay engages the breadth of that canonical resource to encourage readers to embody God's will today. Each chapter ends with questions for continued reflection and conversation. An immensely helpful guide in a time when many disparage the ethical value of the Old Testament.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Moberly, a pioneer in reading the Old Testament as Christian Scripture, presents here an engaging model for appropriating that ancient text for life. Through careful readings of representative texts and informed theological reflection, he demonstrates significant resonances across the canon. This work, however, is no mere academic exercise. Moberly explores the person of God to give realistic direction to faith. This novel Old Testament theology is stimulating--more important, it is useful.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In impressive interdisciplinary fashion, Brett argues that the Christian Scripture can constructively engage today's postcolonial and ecological realities. The Priestly tradition and other like-minded imaginaries, he contends, reflect an anti-imperial perspective among the diverse voices within the Hebrew Bible and provide faith communities with the theological tools for humble participation in the public square. Some may not agree with aspects of Brett's biblical reconstruction, but none can ignore his weighty call to deal responsibly with Christendom's colonial legacy and to offer a different way forward. A remarkable work!”
Portraits of the Righteous in the Psalms
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Psalter has been relatively ignored in the field of Old Testament ethics. This work is a major step toward remedying that lack. It offers a careful reading of key psalms to demonstrate that their portraits of the righteous challenge readers to live virtuously and to persevere in the hope of Yahweh's presence. This is excellent scholarship at the service of the people of God.”
Pursuing Health in an Anxious Age
Christian Living
“Based on his Christian convictions and years of treating the marginalized, Dr. Cutillo calls for reorienting the philosophy and practice of medicine. A society consumed by a delusional drive for invulnerability needs to look to the truths of creation and the fall and of the incarnation and resurrection of Jesus: humans are finite and mortal, yet there is hope in the fact that God took on flesh and conquered death. Eloquently argued with references to philosophy, literature, and theology, this volume urges readers to redefine the relationship between faith and medicine. A profound, timely book.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
Foreword
“In Puzzling Portraits, Culp adds solid research to continuing efforts to validate the abiding significance of the Old Testament canon for ethics. As the supervisor of the thesis that is the basis of this publication, it gives me great joy to commend the work of this young scholar to those who desire that the Old Testament remain a light unto their path and a fire in their bones.”
Re-Reading the Prophets through Corporate Globalization
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Scholars have long appealed to the social sciences to reconstruct the socioeconomic, religious, and political targets of prophetic critique. Coomber makes creative use of cultural-evolutionary theory, with Tunisia as a test case, to potentially illuminate the crises in eighth-century Judah that triggered the ire of the prophets. However one might evaluate his proposal, this is a substantive contribution to prophetic research.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“How might we read the Old Testament canon as Christian Scripture? This is the driving question of the volume. Gignilliat places critical discussions within the framework of the Old Testament as an intentionally crafted, living Word of God and then proposes how Christians might read it with trinitarian sensibilities. This fresh and thoughtful exploration of what it means to read the Old Testament canon theologically can enrich current debates.”
Reading the Pentateuch as Christian Scripture
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This volume is a very readable and quite comprehensive guide to the Pentateuch. These first five books of the Bible are often not well understood, ignored as irrelevant, or reduced to simply prefiguring Jesus. How misguided! Beldman and Rhodes reveal the theological riches of the Pentateuch, which in many ways are foundational to Christian faith and germane to the mission of the people of God in the world today. A wonderful resource!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Informed and informative, Refuge Reimagined combines careful biblical and sociopolitical scholarship to call Christians and the church to respond compassionately to the mounting refugee crisis. Using the foundational concept of kinship—familial, communal, national, and global—the authors seek to cultivate an ethic of virtuous welcome that could be a catalyst for the more humane treatment of foreigners in the body politic. Insightful, pastoral, and practical, this volume is an exemplary resource.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The central theme of the Bible, Rhodes claims, is that God reigns—a fundamental scriptural truth with inescapable political implications for God's people in every sociocultural context in which they are embedded. They are God's kingdom outpost. The biblical survey, examples of Christian engagements from around the globe and diverse historical moments, and thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter make this volume wonderfully accessible and immensely practical.”
Religious Identity and Cultural Negotiation
Theology
“Religious Identity and Cultural Negotiation presents the reflections on personal identity of evangelical graduate students who came to the United States from religious minority communities in Eastern Europe and South/Southeast Asia. Employing sociological and psychological research in conversation with significant theological and biblical reflection, McGill demonstrates how immigration experiences and the nature of Christian identity in general mutually illumine one another. Born out of many years of working with students from abroad, this wide-ranging work offers insights for immigrant education, even as it explores the rich potential of migration studies for Christian thought.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“An immensely innovative textbook on how to study and apply Scripture through the framework of a Latina lens. Magallanes-Tsang winsomely weaves together foundational personal stories, culturally appropriate Spanish labels, and academic acumen to offer an accessible how-to guide for studying the Bible. She illustrates her method with close readings of biblical texts and helpfully provides lists of resources throughout. As a fellow Latino Old Testament scholar, I wholeheartedly say, '¡Felicidades y muchísimas gracias!”
Theology
“With fourth-century church fathers and Luther as foundational resources, in interaction with current scholarship, Sánchez explores five models of sanctification that illumine the ministry of the Spirit of Christ in believers. This creative Latino-Lutheran scholar continues his fruitful work in Christology and pneumatology with a volume that will benefit the broader church in North America. A stellar contribution from a fresh voice, forged as a Latino within a historic tradition. Un aporte singular.”
The Art of Preaching Old Testament Narrative
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Mathewson gifts us with a gold mine of insights into Old Testament narrative. He expertly guides pastors on how to approach a text, prepare a message, and deliver a sermon. There are resources for going as deep as one wants or can, from biblical examples and sample sermons to an introduction to Hebrew discourse and select bibliographies for many Old Testament books. Let’s bring the Old Testament to life and into lives! Here is an able guide.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“"With the seasoned skill of a mature scholar and the passion of a preacher, Dan Block offers us another fine volume on Deuteronomy. This theological manifesto of ancient Israel continues to speak across the centuries, and there can be no better guide than Block to help the people of God today hear the abiding voice of the one true God in its pages.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The Lamb’s Agenda is the Christian Manifesto for the church in the twenty-first century and is a must read. The biblical principles presented by Rev. Samuel Rodriguez will revolutionize the church and restore biblical values to a culture that desperately needs renewing. Rev. Rodriguez articulates the relationship between the salvation in Christ and cultural engagement better than anyone. He is a powerful preacher who has skillfully articulated his stirring message of the vertical and horizontal meaning of the Cross into a blueprint for revival and cultural transformation.” “With the eloquent passion of a preacher, national Hispanic leader Samuel Rodríguez charges all Christians to join personal faith in Jesus with a commitment to social justice—the vertical with the horizontal. This is a clarion call for Christians to impact the public square. The Lamb’s Agenda will stimulate conversation, even disagreement, but what it seeks ultimately is to generate profound change in the status quo.”

The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Today we need to reintroduce people to the prophetic word. No one is more equipped to do that in a creative mode than John Goldingay! By presenting excerpts from the Twelve Prophets as responses to letters from citizens, officials, and religious leaders, he reminds us that these (uncomfortable) divine words were delivered within and for concrete settings. Timely, yet timeless as Scripture, these prophets continue to speak into real life to challenge God’s people.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“While it is not uncommon to encounter socially located interpretations grounded in a hermeneutic of suspicion, this work speaks from one of trust in the biblical text and a commitment to the central tenets of the Christian faith. It also moves beyond theories about these interpretations (although it does provide those discussions) to commentary on every New Testament book. This volume is a constructive contribution to debates about fundamental matters of interpretation from an impressive set of scholars of diverse ethnicities.”
