Art and the Experience of the Divine
Arts & Literature
“We all need aids on our way to God and with God. The authors make a compelling case that art can be such aid and then show how. Anne Bent’s meditations and prayers exude attentive admiration for art and authentic devotion to God.”
Theology
“A key study of an important but neglected topic. Farrow demonstrates admirably how much in theology depends upon a right approach to the ascension.”
Being Christian After the Desolation of Gaza
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“With great urgency, this book demands that we Christians examine our conscience and raise our voice against the continued carnage and destruction in Gaza. Whether we agree or disagree with the book’s diverse set of contributors, we can surely affirm with them that each life, Jewish or Palestinian, is of equal value, and that condemning the policies and actions of Israel can and should be accompanied by commitment to the wellbeing of the Jewish people.”
Theology
“For the most part, public theology so far has been an endeavor of religious ‘experts’ who belong to a single tradition exploring how their faith should serve the common good. David Moe argues that in a religiously pluralistic world we need ordinary practitioners of diverse religions coming together and, each drawing on their own tradition, pursue together the common good. In a divided world, this is a very needed book.”
Theology
“Crisp writing, clear thought, insightful reflection on a seminal and influential thinker’s take on one of the most fundamental themes of theology—what more would you want from a book in theology? This is in fact what you get with Johnson’s Christ and Analogy. Whether you are interested in von Balthasar, in theological method, or in relationship between metaphysics and theology you should read this book.”
Christian Living
“This book contains some of the very best work on gratitude of which I am aware. A splendid contribution to a crucial topic.”
Women
“Women hold up 'half the sky'--and maybe a bit more. Yet this very hour they are demeaned and destroyed, trafficked and exploited, everywhere in the world. James argues that it's time for the church to roll up its sleeves and do something about it. Compelling and inspiring book!”
Theology
“Jesus intended that his followers should never kill anyone!’ After you read If Jesus Is Lord, you will be able to reject this claim as unworkable in the real world, but you will not be able to dispute it. This compelling and challenging volume is the lifework of an impressive Christian ‘resistance pacifist’!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“An excellent, short pilgrimage in biblical political theology! With divisions and animosities running high within and among nations and with autocrats increasingly in charge, we need this book acutely.”
“We are overwhelmed, we are self-absorbed, we feel melancholy emptiness—most of us and more often than we like. Yet we long for our lives to contribute to something truly great, something that transcends our individual selves. Here is an excellent tool that helps us reflect on how our lives acquire depth and weight, that offers guidance about who we should be and what we should do if we are to lead lives that truly matter.”
Christian Living
“A personal, readable, informed, and confident exposition of the Christian faith—so confident, in fact, that it starts and ends with an invitation to martyrdom in the service of Christ! East’s unwillingness to make Christ into a founder of a ‘religion of comfortableness’ (Nietzsche) is admirable.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“I don’t know of a better book for those who grieve and seek to better understand their grief. It is lucid, wise, and, in a deeply human sense, true.”
World Religions
“A great and often-neglected human challenge is how to manage individual collective memories of wrongs suffered and committed. World religions face the challenge, too, as violence has marked their internal and external relations. This book, unique in many ways, contains rich resources drawn from diverse world religions for figuring out how to remember rightly and hope boldly in a violent world.”
Theology
“Written after the loss of his beloved wife Elisabeth, this personal book brings together many lines of Moltmann's wonderfully rich and life-giving theology (and records a recent change of mind). Faced with death as we all are, he invites us here not to the art of dying but to the art of resurrection-living, to a life in the here and now as an echo of the true life in the world to come.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“A fascinating and engrossing book about one of the most puzzling—and hopeful—books of the Christian Bible. Revelation is about how to live as dissidents in the Babylon of our time, how to hope actively for the New Jerusalem, the home of God and the goal of creation.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A fascinating and engrossing book about one of the most puzzling—and hopeful—books of the Christian Bible. Revelation is about how to live as dissidents in the Babylon of our time, how to hope actively for the New Jerusalem, the home of God and the goal of creation.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“With characteristic intelligence, humor, and grace, Lee Camp argues that the American church today has earned itself the curious distinction of having largely ‘destroyed its own witness.’ But Lee is not just a prophet of doom. He proposes an alternative. It may be a scandalous one, to be sure, but it is a courageously hopeful one as well.”
Preaching & Worship
“At a time when eat-on-the-run church attendees living in a throw-away culture increasingly use prefilled communion cups, Mike Graves argues compellingly and winsomely that in the Early Church the Lord’s Supper was – well, a real supper, an extended communal meal! Table Talk is an urgent and much needed call to transform the way we both do church and eat our meals.”
