A Practical Primer on Theological Method
Theology
“The passion of Glenn Kreider and Michael Svigel is for evangelicals to pursue theology with excellence. A Practical Primer on Theological Method successfully engages the novice by treating theological method as a conversation between eight characters. On the basis of their discussions of virtue, science, or art alone, one would be required to grant this book high marks. But these wise and humble teachers have a great deal more to say. I cannot recommend this volume highly enough—take up and read!”
Theology
“American Evangelicals have long required a presentation of personal salvation regulated neither by dogmatic Calvinism nor its venerable combatant Arminianism. However, this requisite system must also be permanently grounded in Scripture while manifesting roots in Christian history, philosophy, and experience. Anyone Can Be Saved dares and succeeds in explicating a traditional Baptist soteriology that offers all Evangelicals just such a thoughtful, worshipful, and fruitful way forward. Highly recommended!”
Theology
“This generation of evangelicals and Baptists has long required a new and widely trusted single-author systematic theology. Adam Harwood now steps forward to fill the gap with his aptly named Christian Theology: Biblical, Historical, and Systematic. I am elated to endorse this careful, learned, and broad-based exemplar of Christian orthodoxy for use in the classroom, in the pastor’s study, and in the academically-inclined layperson’s library.”
Christian Living
“With both careful scholarship and spiritual discernment, Jonathan Arnold and Zachariah Carter collect and translate significant prayers from throughout church history. As you pray with the Latin father Cyprian, the medieval theologian Bede, the Reformer Martin Luther, and the evangelical hymn writer Isaac Watts, among others, your theology will deepen and your soul will commune intimately with God. This book also includes historical commentary that explains the lives of the prayer authors and the meaning of their prayers. This is a great gift to the church of Jesus Christ that you will want to use often in both private and public worship and for theological edification.”
Come Out from among Them, and Be Ye Separate, Saith the Lord
History & Biography
“Since the Reformation, Evangelical Christians have been asked: Why do your churches proliferate? Isn’t separation a sign of division? Or does separation mask a deep unity? The excellent historical, theological, and social essays herein offer profound answers to these important questions. Every Christian thought leader should read this timely treasure from the Believers’ Church Tradition, but especially scholars who are Baptist, Mennonite, Church of Christ, Brethren, Pentecostal, or Free Church.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The church has long needed this decidedly biblical, highly readable, and very practical book. Grounding the diaconate in the person and work of Jesus, Matt Smethurst answers the multitude of contemporary questions with judiciousness and care, drawing upon his deep knowledge of Scripture, history, and church life. Deacons should long remain the standard text in both the local church and the academy.”
Early Christianity in North Africa
History & Biography
“Not only does Decret relay social history in a compelling style, he demonstrates political sophistication, theological subtlety, and ecclesiastical sensitivity toward Catholic, heretic, and pagan alike. In sum, this book is both a faithful rendering of history and a great read.”
Fullerism as Opposed to Calvinism
Theology
“With this important book, a young and rising scholar, Chadwick Mauldin, enters the intense conversation about Baptists and Calvinism with a novel yet stunningly accurate thesis. Andrew Fuller is the theological giant who led the Baptists to inaugurate the modern missions movement and it is his theological principles that define contemporary Baptists more adequately than the undeniable yet mitigated principles of the Genevan Reformer, John Calvin. This book will set the debates regarding Baptist identity on a new and proper track.”
History & Biography
“Obbie Tyler Todd combs carefully through the lives and writings of early American Baptists, tracing their political and social theology. Despite such profound disagreements (and many more besides), Todd argues one issue, a ‘polestar,’ united Baptists as they moved from the dissenting margin into cultural establishment: religious liberty. This rising scholar offers both an important introduction to a neglected phase of American history and a gripping and compelling read.”
Theology
“price of the book you hold in your hands, while the entire arc of this theodrama makes it priceless.”
Theology
“On Classical Trinitarianism is the most significant text published this year, if not this century. While a trinitarian renaissance certainly began in the twentieth century, distinctly modern and postmodern echoes of ancient heresies arose to challenge believers who seek to restate with integrity for our day 'the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints' (Jude 1:3). The scholars herein, wisely gathered by Matthew Barrett, not only represent a wide spectrum of Christian tradition but offer deep studies into orthodoxy's exegetical and historical basis and helpfully describe the contours of this indispensable dogma. Renewing our understanding of God the Trinity so that we may worship him truly and confess him properly will be the best way to celebrate the signal accomplishment of Nicaea. So, please, take up and read!”
History & Biography
Foreword
“Having read deeply in seventeenth-century Puritanism, Matthew Ward offers here an illuminating thesis. He argues that English Baptists were compelled liturgically and theologically by the need to worship God purely. Travel with a scholarly writer through the literature yet also be prepared to be gripped with a profound desire for humanity's proper response to God and His salvation.”
Recapturing an Enchanted World
Preaching & Worship
“The incarnation of our Lord is a minor doctrine for many, but John Rempel recounts its significance for worship, doctrine, and practice. Recapturing an Enchanted World orients us historically within time and place, but only to remind us spiritually of our transcendent end. This gentle and pious scholar wants us to see the full spiritual reality of our incarnate Lord Jesus through word and sacrament—wisdom calls us to hear him.”
Christian Living
“Drawing on his mastery of law and theology, Matt Martens has crafted a marvelous theory of criminal justice. His major theses—that the gospel demands social justice and that justice is grounded in love—originate in insightful biblical exegesis supported by historical theology and generate solid legal principles. While some will quibble at points, every reader, from the responsible voter to the professional magistrate, will feel profoundly compelled to love more tangibly. For this ameliorating service to our image-bearing neighbors, victims and criminals alike, we all stand in Martens’s debt.”
Restore Unity, Recover Identity, and Refine Orthopraxy
Theology
“Peter Tie demonstrates that the doctrine of the church--when perceived through the Christian priesthood, the Trinity, and Christian discipleship--is both fundamental to theological discernment and fruitful for ecumenical discourse. Professor Tie draws upon the extensive theological corpus of James Leo Garrett Jr. in order to address the mission, membership, ministry, and management of the church. Christianity's various communions and their leading theologians should be richly rewarded through reading this important book.”
Theology
“What does the Holy Spirit have to say today? Spirit Wind argues we should listen to the Spirit, whether carefully reading the Bible, rehearsing the witness of history, or leading believers to address the needs of the world now. The lead essay by Peter Tie is a masterpiece which should be read by all Christian teachers, while others unfold the riches of Chinese Christianity. Take up and read!”
