AI Shepherds and Electric Sheep

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Artificial intelligence is something I never envisioned would be a universal topic in the church or in theological education. Thankfully, in this significant work O’Callaghan and Hoffman guide Christian leaders biblically, theologically, and practically on this life-altering development called AI. While we do not know what the future holds in this digital world, we do know the One who holds the future. AI Shepherds and Electric Sheep is a well-researched and pioneering book that gives us a clear road map to begin understanding and navigating this ever-changing technological age.”

Biblical Preaching

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I am blessed to say that Haddon Robinson taught me how to preach. The fact that his influential homiletics textbook, Biblical Preaching, is in its fourth edition is no surprise. It’s clear, compelling, and clever. Robinson had such a way with words and images, in many ways he was a preacher par excellence. Read this book and soak in all you can on how to preach the Bible from one of the greatest preachers in recent history.”

Expository Reflections on the Gospels, Volume 3

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With seamless synergy between exegesis and the everyday, Doug O’Donnell masterfully dissects and demystifies the Gospel of Mark to aid preachers in feeding their flocks. Having once preached through Mark myself, I wish this resource had been available then. Thankfully, it exists now, and it will be of tremendous benefit to clear preachers and engaged hearers as well as zigzagging preachers and meandering listeners.”

Gender Roles and the People of God

Women

“Alice Mathews helps the entire church rethink the concept of gender and gender roles with fresh biblical, historical, theological, and cultural insights. She releases us from our natural binary impulses to reconsider our God-given human responsibilities as people loved and created by God. This is a timely book for those battling in traditional gender wars.”

God’s Word and Our Words

Preaching & Worship

“There are seasons in every preacher's life when discouragement strikes in the pulpit. We wonder whether preaching is really worth it. In God's Word and Our Words, Gloer and Boyd assemble leading voices from the fields of biblical studies, church history, and homiletics to remind and inspire preachers of the past, present, and future significance of preaching—its joys and its challenges. . . . Be prepared to have your fire for preaching rekindled!”

Hear Ye the Word of the Lord

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In the way of Tertullian, What hath textuality to do with orality? Brent Sandy dispels and distills several misunderstandings for modern readers and interpreters of the Bible who regularly forget that people living in biblical times didn't enjoy individual, leather-bound copies of God's Word. Rather, living in oral cultures, they heard the Scriptures read aloud. Sandy takes us on an important journey to appreciate how understanding orality and oral cultures informs our interpretation of Scripture beyond what the world of the written text imparts to us in isolation. This book is a godsend for preachers and teachers who must grapple with both the textuality and orality of Scripture.”

Mere Christian Hermeneutics

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“but in daily ascents to the Holy Scriptures where each member of the Godhead glitters theological brilliance onto the pages of our embodiment: honing our biblical and theological interpretation, transfiguring our desires, and transforming our agency closer to his likeness.”

Preaching God's Grand Drama

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Pioneering new homiletical territory, Ahmi Lee’s Preaching God’s Grand Drama invites propositional preachers and conversational preachers to explore their respective sermonic philosophies and methodologies. Well-written and insightful, Lee’s book presents an intriguing ‘third way’ explaining the art and craft of preaching that will meet and greet a wide spectrum of twenty-first-century listeners seated in the pews.”

Preaching Through Time

Preaching & Worship

“Effective homileticians are always treading on new terrain to plow groundbreaking pulpit pathways. In Preaching Through Time, Casey Barton skillfully reveals his reconstruction of homiletics vis-à-vis the lenses of anachronism and the drama of participation. This book will expand your homiletical horizons to see the preaching enterprise in fresh ways so that your listeners will zealously partake in God’s drama of redeeming a fallen world and even take pleasure in the process as well.”

Preparing Sermons from the Page to the Pulpit

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A clear and practical pathway toward more faithful biblical exposition.”

Racial Justice for the Long Haul

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Perseverance is often a missing virtue in our world today. To persevere in something that doesn't seem to have tangible benefits, however, is even more difficult. In Racial Justice for the Long Haul, Christine Jeske presents a hopeful vision for majority culture Christians to do just that for the sake of their racially marginalized siblings in Christ. For this heartfelt petition, I am truly grateful. I'm convinced that all readers, whether in the majority or in the minority, will benefit tangibly somehow from taking in this important book.”

Reconciling Places

Christian Living

“By the time you finish Reconciling Places, many pages will be dog-eared for future reference. Hoffman is not an armchair theologian pontificating ideas that work in theory alone; he’s a tested, bridge-building disciple who has embodied reconciliation with his life and ministry.”

Topical Preaching in a Complex World

Preaching & Worship

“Chan and Gill have gifted the church and the academy with an outstanding resource that answers the many questions that loom large about topical preaching. This is the best homiletics book on the topic, bar none. Read it and respond to its wisdom for yourself and for the sake of your congregation.”

What's God Saying Here?

Preaching & Worship

“To Peter and Grace Kim— dear friends and former church members, whose constant encouragement enriched my teaching and preaching ministries while serving as your pastor. I thank God every time I remember you in prayer.”
