Theology

“Many have spoken of the need for and shape of theological exegesis. Rare is the work that actually employs theological wisdom for the sake of better exegetical practice. Now R. B. Jamieson's The Paradox of Sonship serves as a marvelous example. The work employs early christological concepts to keep alert to the breadth of teaching in Hebrews regarding the sonship of the Messiah. I highly commend it.”

Theology in the Democracy of the Dead

Theology

“Today the church and her theology can frequently seem rather thin and immature, whereas the Bible calls us to wholeness and maturity. Jenson adeptly shows that learning from our elders—more specifically from the Triune God’s work in and through this ‘great cloud of witnesses’—plays a crucial role in growing into that fullness. This book introduces eleven brilliant figures, surveys their work and influence, introduces significant secondary literature, and helps guide readers not merely to know them but to think with them. I wish everyone could be in the classroom with this master teacher; now his classroom expands, and all of us can follow his guidance.”

Washed and Waiting

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“How do the gospel, holiness, and indwelling sin play out in the life of a Christian struggling with same-sex attraction? And how do brothers and sisters in Christ show love to them? Wesley Hill offers wise counsel that is biblically faithful, theologically serious, and oriented to the life and practice of the church. He accomplishes a number of things in this small book: a capable defense of the Christian tradition’s prohibition of homosexual practice, an illuminating analysis of the isolating effects of struggle with this particular sin, a careful consideration of the present and future aspects of salvation, and a heartfelt call to fight for each other’s faith and repentance as a church body. This is now the book regarding a crucial theological issue of our time.”

Worship by Faith Alone

Preaching & Worship

“Worship and trust go together, for good or ill. Zac Hicks shows how the Book of Common Prayer was shaped brilliantly by Thomas Cranmer to commend a deep trust in the sufficiency of Jesus Christ, in whom is all comfort and eternal life. Worship by Faith Alone shows us the richly Protestant nature of Cranmerian Anglicanism. Even more so, Hicks shows us how worship can convey Jesus Christ to us.”
