Engaging Theology

Theology

“With historical breadth, doctrinal clarity, and pastoral acumen, Blackwell and Hatchett invite students into the study of Christian theology with a text that is comprehensive without being daunting. Written with the student in mind, their book provides a confessional and welcoming approach to the study of theology. This is a book for those who love Jesus but might be skeptical as to why we need clarity about who God is and what God has done.”

Global Migration and Christian Faith

Evangelism & Missions

“In this evocative collection, Carroll and Bacote bring together biblical, theological, historical, and practical reflections for addressing today’s migration questions. Christians need urgently to draw out the riches of the past for ministering to migrants today, and these essays are a model of how to go about that task.”

I Was Hungry

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In this book, which is full of practical wisdom and insight, Everett shares what it looks like not only to address hunger but also for Christians to partner together with their neighbors for the common good. Anyone who is interested in loving their neighbor, in feeding the hungry, and in being the church in and for the world should read this book. Everett is one of my heroes, and the stories and insights here capture much of why this is true.”

Jesus the Refugee

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Too many accounts of migration ethics depend on affections or good wishes, but in centering his account of refugees through the story of the holy family, Glenn Butner offers us a refreshing, scripturally grounded, and politically informed account of refugee solidarity. For Butner, to care for refugees is to care for those bearing the image of Christ's own family. A crisp and accessible work for those looking to bring together Scripture and an ethic of migration.”

The Bible Is Not Enough

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“McKnight teases out a vision from Scripture in which the peace of the world to come is breaking through in the present, and one which we are called to join. It is a world in which the peace of God brings neighbors and nations together in the peace of Christ. And it's the kind of world I want for all Christians to take part in.”

The Crucifixion of the Warrior God

Theology

“In this evocative new book, Gregory A. Boyd has taken the canonicity of Scripture seriously, avoiding both the pitfalls of Marcionism and Christomonism, and articulated what promises to reset the conversation around Scripture and violence. Boyd has pointed toward the scriptural scandal of a God who is crucified, and asked us to stand still to consider the implications for how we engage a violent world.”

Tough Gynes

Arts & Literature

“Long before G.I. Jane, the equation of masculinity with violence was a troubling connection for both Christian and non-Christian alike. In this lively collection, Stan Goff explores the ways in which this connection between being manly and being violent has proliferated in some of the best-loved cinema of the modern era. We are in debt to his keen eye and to the light he sheds here.”

What Are Christians For?

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Meador's book is a call for a more rooted world in which Christians pursue justice, mercy, and holiness in a sphere that will not be tamed or controlled. Touching on race, gender, economics, ecology, and more, it is a vision that is both comprehensive and full, yet modest and grounded. In these pages, there is much to provoke and to challenge, as Meador offers a vision of the Christian's participation in the world, which is as small as the household and as sweeping as the cosmos.”
