Christianity and the Outsider

Theology

“Deftly navigating between the binaries of liberal and conservative theology, Geiger proposes a fascinating new approach to the topics of salvation and revelation. This embrace of God's complex work in both general and special revelation points to a third way between alienating exclusivism and naive universalism, centered on Christ as the constant and using God's holistic revelation as a guide. Geiger makes a very convincing case worthy of wide discussion.”

Walking the Theological Life

Theology

“More than telling people about theology, volumes of which abound, Gaines invites us into thinking about theology in new, enlivening, and constructive ways. He is inviting people to reconceive the theological task in ways that the Bible itself exemplifies: in real lives, in formative and engaging ways. This is a primer on how the theological work can continue in coming generations and, as so, a book I'm eager to share with undergraduates and seminarians alike who seek to know and reflect God but have felt alienated from the academic contexts.”
