Theology
“In this stimulating and original work, Warren succeeds in pushing forward the discussion on how to think and speak of the presence of evil in the world. On the basis of thorough discussion and extensive counseling experience, she argues strongly that a 'cleansing the cosmos' model is preferable to that of 'warfare.' In doing this she both swims against the tide and opens up new horizons in a difficult but an important debate.”
Exorcism and Deliverance Ministry in the Twentieth Century
History & Biography
“Dr. James Collins has served us well in giving sustained, scholarly attention to an area of considerable concern and interest which has otherwise been neglected and, possibly, avoided. Despite the problematic nature of the subject matter, there is much here to inform us not only about recent church history but about the human condition and its varied interpretations. Others need to build on what he has done.”
Preaching & Worship
“This book, from a seasoned practitioner and an able thinker, will provide the signposts required by many either for transforming their preaching style in mid-career, or for setting off on the right foot.”
Forming Ministers or Training Leaders?
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Those engaged in the important work of ministerial formation and training, and others interested in it as a possibility, will find much to embrace in this study. Based upon the emerging practices and theological reflection of a particular context and tradition, the book nonetheless draws upon a broad range of parallel experiences to propose a distinctive approach that many will wish to endorse.”
Theology
“By carefully reviewing the language, imagery, and argument of Scripture, Paul Marston offers a highly focused clarification that hell does not mean everlasting torment but final destruction. In so doing he helps those of us who identify as evangelicals to articulate the gospel as a testimony to the Judge of all the earth who always does what is right.”
History & Biography
“Christians tend to accept the religious phenomena of their age without thinking too deeply of how and why things are as they are. In this sense they fail to see the cultural and practical factors that are imported along with religious experience. In a study that is sympathetic, critical, and scholarly, Ackerley here engages in just such an analysis of popular ministries active in the British context and manages both to appreciate their value and to identify their cultural indebtedness.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“I love this book, as much for its form as its content. Casting mature wisdom in the form of a series of letters makes it warm, personal, and utterly digestible. Here is a splendid and realistic exploration of what it means to minister in today's world. Enjoy it.”
New Dictionary of Christian Apologetics
Apologetics
“It is essential for the contemporary church to know that what it believes makes sense. At a time when we are increasingly bombarded by attempts to debunk the faith, Christians need a firm grasp on the coherence and credibility of their beliefs. This volume makes a massive contribution to this need and does so in a way that is readily accessible to any person who takes the trouble to think. As this is exactly what every Christian should do, it follows that this is a book for everyone, and not just the specialist.”
Nonconformity's Romantic Generation
History & Biography
“Dr Mark Hopkins' book touches on events which in certain circles continue to have a life and a legacy of considerable weight. His careful and painstaking research particularly into the 'Downgrade Controversy' offers new insights and fresh perspectives in a way which illuminates the present as well as the past.”
“This is a heart-warming, insightful, and deeply human collection of essays. Its contributors are diverse and international in flavor and context and bring to the important theme of 'strength in weakness' both a classical engagement with the text of Scripture and theology and a contemporary awareness of what living responses to that Scripture might look like today. Based on sound scholarly work and exegesis, this volume is winsomely and sometimes amusingly written. It is a book to be read in the high and the low times of the Christian life, especially by Christian leaders and workers who are expected in some greater measure than others to be incarnations of the faith of cross and resurrection. It exudes practical wisdom, realism, and devotion. It will not disappoint.”
Theology
“Both Pannenberg's and Jungel's theologies pose a considerable challenge for the theological enquirer. Graham Watts has done a great service as with lucidity and facility he clarifies the thinking of these two contemporary theologians, displays the significance of their respective theological work and enables readers to benefit from their profound theological insight. This is a skillful and coherent piece of work which will add to more general theological appreciation of their contribution and will enrich many.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Paul Goodliff writes with the authority and wisdom of one who has served as a pastor, as a pastor of pastors, and as a denominational leader with responsibility for succeeding generations of ministers, their selection, training, deployment, and support. Add to this the aptitude for constant theological reflection on practice and you end up with someone worth listening to. . . .”
History & Biography
Foreword
“Michael Hooton has given us an encyclopedic guide to the origins, theologies, practices, and cultures of that astonishing phenomenon we call the Christian church. Whether you regard the church's diversity as a marked weakness or an unrivaled strength, this book cannot fail to inform and enlighten you.”
The Triune God and the Charismatic Movement
Theology
“This book is valuable at a variety of levels. Historically, it is a welcome and worthy addition to those existing works which tell the story of charismatic renewal in the British Isles. Theologically, it is a lucid exposition of the ways in which that renewal has strengthened the articulation of a more adequate doctrine of the Spirit. Experientially, it deals with the trinitarian form and content of the Christian experience of salvation. In each of these aspects this is a book worth reading.”
Theology
“This is a rich and erudite volume. In the growing corpus of writings on Baptist identity it will sound new notes and bring new insights. It succeeds in being faithfully Baptist and profoundly Catholic at the same time. All Christians might benefit from this careful and imaginative work.”
