Mark Valeri

Biblical Hermeneutics

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this day of increasing ignorance about the Bible, when people have little sense of the content of scripture and media-exposed preachers use the Bible only as a prop, we need a sound, reliable, and engaging invitation to the text itself. I am grateful that Duncan Ferguson has given us just that. He is a knowledgable and trustworthy guide. No one will read this book and come away without new insight and a fresh sense of a much-needed Word for us today.”

Lovescapes, Mapping the Geography of Love

Christian Living

“Duncan Ferguson is a wise and creative thinker who has gained profound insight into the meaning of being human through a distinguished career of teaching, writing, and travel. In Lovescapes he gives us his most thoughtful reflection on the fundamental issues of life in our day. It moves beyond platitudes and explores love in its global as well as personal dimensions. This book penetrates the heart of the matter.”

Mindful Spirituality

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Duncan Ferguson has given us a set of daily meditations that speak to our yearning for a deep spirituality in time of religious doubt and ethical confusion. It blends wisdom from many faith traditions to shape our lives to greater meaning and purpose. This book uplifts and illuminates even as it gives the pleasure of engaging and lucid writing.”

On Following Jesus

Christian Living

“On Following Jesus drives the reader to ponder a salient question: what could it mean to have God at the center of one’s attention as one engages a troubled and unnerving world? Duncan Ferguson makes an appeal for readers to consider the way of Jesus as offering a fulfilling, humane, and loving answer. This is a psychologically astute, biblically focused, and theologically learned book, a compelling account by a respected and wise author.”

Princeton Seminary in American Religion and Culture

History & Biography

“One of America's most influential theological institutions, Princeton Seminary deserves an updated, readable, reliable, and engaging history. James Moorhead has given us just that. . . . This book provides more than the story of a single seminary; it offers a window into mainstream American Protestantism from the early nation to the present.”

Prior of Kazachi Post

History & Biography

“This remarkably researched novel brings us to an oft-neglected space in the history of American foreign missions and does so with a humane sensibility that defies received stereotypes about missionaries and missions. It is rich with historical detail, from the mundane matters of providing food and clothing for orphans in the Caucasus to the political struggles of Armenia and the Russian Revolution. This is a moving and insightful story, compelling the reader all the way through.”

The Human Odyssey

Christian Living

“Duncan Ferguson’s The Human Odyssey is a compelling account of the meaning of being soulful in today’s world. It calls us to a spirituality that draws from a variety of religious traditions, especially the New Testament, to shake us out of our complacency with a scattered, noisy, and often dogmatic life. Shaped by wide reading and autobiographical reflection, it exudes a calm and peacefulness that makes the reader eager to listen and learn.”

The Radical Teaching of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book is a powerful address to those 'nones' or doubters, along with thoughtful believers, who yearn for deep patterns of meaning, yet do not find a home in traditional religious communities.”

The Wartime Sermons of Jonathan Edwards

Preaching & Worship

“This sparkling edition of Jonathan Edwards’s sermons on politics, war, and imperial-colonial relationships will reorient our understanding of New England’s great evangelical divine. Cuthbert has offered us a remarkable selection of well-edited sermons and provided a lucid introduction and helpful notes. We have rarely seen Edwards from this perspective. This is a compelling edition that will serve as a rich resource.”

Traces of Transcendence

Philosophy

“Deeply informed by years of reading, travel, and reflection, Traces of Transcendence is a provocation in the best sense of the word. Duncan Ferguson raises questions about meaning and purpose that we all have, whether we are ‘religious’ or not, but that we often suppress or dismiss. Throughout it all, Ferguson’s claims about transcendence are humble and measured in tone yet compelling. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for Christians, non-Christians, unbelievers, and skeptics alike.”
