Atonement for a Sinless Society
Theology
“Rather than simply repeating an articulation of the gospel from another time and culture, Alan Mann asks how the cross is good news for his culture and how to communicate that good news in his context today. We have much to learn from how he answers those questions.”
Death, Resurrection, and Transporter Beams
Theology
“Christians affirm life after death, but what does that mean? How does it happen? What of me will live on or resurrect? Some have clear answers but ignore ways they contradict Scripture or logic. Others have vague ideas and say the answers are not of vital importance. Langley disagrees; he shows that how we answer matters because it affects how we live today. With a great mix of helpful illustrations, deep thinking, and clear logic, Langley guides readers through an evaluation of answers to these questions.”

Dialectical Theology and Jacques Ellul
Theology
“The significance and value of Ellul's work is greater today than ever, yet many continue to misunderstand him. Van Vleet not only introduces readers to the main themes from Ellul's writings but places firmly in their hands the keys that open the doors to understanding Ellul.”
Ministering in Patronage Cultures
Evangelism & Missions
“Gaining a better understanding of patronage is reason enough to read this book. But it offers so much more than tips on how to better navigate patron-client relationships. Jayson Georges uses cultural insights to illuminate biblical texts and enrich theological understandings. Then, looking at patron-client relationships through a biblical lens Georges challenges us to practice transformed patronage. Read it and grow in knowledge of God and gain tools for God's mission.”
Theology
“Jamieson joins others in noting that society is abandoning talk of sin. Rather than only pointing the finger outward he explores how Christian theology itself has contributed to this loss. He engagingly weaves together input from social science, theological reflection and pastoral application. Connecting the cross to shame is imperative in our context today. This book is a good place to start or a means of adding new insights to an atonement theology that addresses shame.”
Theology
“Through careful reading of the Bible and centuries of interpretation of the biblical text, Toews demonstrates that the common understanding of original sin is not as old or as universal as many assume. This will unsettle some and excite others, but all will benefit from reflecting anew on this crucial topic.”
