Paul Copan

“The biblical warning to 'keep yourselves from idols' hones in on the source of spiritual, social, moral, and existential ruin. Chris Wright's fine study on idolatry in Scripture and his application of it to our Western world shines a bright light to help us see more clearly what is at stake. Although the West has been shaped by many (now-fading) biblical ideals, we are witnessing a culture shot through with a host of idolatrous tendencies to put our trust in the wrong places—in that which is not-God. Whatever our political views as Christians may be, Wright offers correctives for all of us, exhorting us to be guided by biblical priorities and Christ-centered discipleship, which will ultimately lead to our flourishing as God's image-bearers.”
Christian Living
“Aristotle said that philosophy begins with wonder. We human beings are all philosophers; each of us has a philosophy of life. But does my philosophy of life satisfactorily address the wide range of fundamental questions each worldview must answer? Paul Gould is a seasoned guide for the reader who is curious about the world and its workings, the nature of our humanity as well as one’s personal identity, the ‘pursuit of happiness,’ and what’s behind it all—the source of purpose, meaning, and healing for our brokenness. Indeed, there is one story to rule them all, to make the best sense of the way things are and ought to be. Gould’s well-crafted book points us to a God of love who appears in Jesus of Nazareth to rescue us, to unite us to our Creator, and to restore us to what we were meant to be.”
A Guide to New Religious Movements
World Religions
“This book serves as a helpful pointer to the importance of 'holistically' engaging those within new religious movements. These movements' adherents are made in God's image; so individual Christians and churches must go beyond mere theological debate to engage in loving, listening relationships as well. Doctrinal refutation is not enough. Familiarity with a movement's history/sociology--which often exposes the church's own failures--and utilization of practical tools for 'speaking the truth in love' are also necessary.”
A History of Western Philosophy
Philosophy
“When a world-class Christian philosopher writes on the history of Western philosophy, one can expect a first-rate work that illuminates and enriches—and that is just what we find here. Evans's book effectively distills key philosophical figures and their ideas, considering both their historical context and their lasting influence. What we have in this volume is a marvelous resource that engages key thinkers and philosophical concepts judiciously, insightfully, and Christianly.”
Theology
“Geivett and Pivec have done the global church a great service in writing this book! While affirming the proper place of divinely wrought signs and wonders in addition to the gift of prophecy in our day, they expose a good deal of questionable practices and flawed theology found within the New Apostolic Reformation. The book is biblically sound as well as thoughtful, even-handed, and charitable.”
A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles
Theology
“J. P. Moreland’s unique book sparkles with spiritual vibrancy, fresh insight, and seasoned wisdom. Not only will readers find their hearts strangely warmed, but they will also be greatly encouraged to trust more fully in God’s power, to become more fervent and expectant in prayer, and to view life in this world with a renewed kingdom vision. This book is a gem!”
Philosophy
“honest book, Christopher Palmer weaves together literary and cultural themes, using them as pointers to help us navigate this confused, haunted modern world. He offers a sure and wise path forward through life’s difficulties. This world is, after all, a God-haunted one: The God who made this world that fell away from him came to bring light and truth and healing through Christ, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest—their true homes—in him.”
Philosophy
“the bigger picture and personal application. If you are a newcomer to philosophy—or even if you’ve been at it for a while—you’ll find this a helpful guide to steer you into the way of wisdom. The book is quite comprehensive, but not daunting. Since every human being has a worldview or philosophy of life (and, so, we are all philosophers), this book will assist you in “taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”
Apologetics
“This book is a helpful and clear response to Dan Barker’s popular-level atheism. It examines his terms and labels, his assumptions, and his arguments in an incisive and accessible manner. Though one may disagree here and there, the book overall presents a highly effective and robust challenge to Barker’s version of atheism as well as presenting the case for the Christian faith.”
Apologetics
“This book effectively lays out the wide-ranging, relevant evidence for the biblical God while exposing atheism's consistent failure to explain the way things are in the world. Of particular interest is that a seasoned, highly acclaimed lawyer takes the reader through it step by step, drawing on his own experience and illustrating how rules of evidence work. The book is an engaging, fascinating, and illuminating read.”
Philosophy
“Dolores Morris’s accessible book on Christian philosophy is a wonderful gateway to understanding the relationship between faith and reason. Morris works through caricatures and misrepresentations about philosophy, and she presents important arguments and analyzes issues to show how philosophy under the lordship of Christ can be a vital, faith-shaping tool both for individual Christians and the overall well-being of the church.”
Between Vision and Obedience—Rethinking Theological Epistemology
Philosophy
“George Ille is a fine scholar and a creative mind. His book breaks new ground by both examining a wide range of attempts (and failures) to connect theology and epistemology and by offering insights into the exploration of an explicitly theological epistemology.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Webb and Oeste have undertaken a daunting task. They have tackled a host of moral and theological questions related to the challenging, emotionally charged topic of Old Testament warfare. They have digested a large and ever-growing literature on the subject as they articulate their redemptive-movement approach. Their book not only offers a comprehensive assessment of the issues. It also adds important layers to the discussion—for example, the contrast between Israel's more humane, far-less cruel warfare practices compared to the rape and dehumanizing atrocities of other ancient Near Eastern nations. And in contrast to the work of some recent 'functional Marcionite' scholars, Webb and Oeste's judicious, nuanced, and insightful treatment of this subject recognizes the inescapable reality of divinely commanded warfare. They are to be congratulated on significantly advancing the discussion.”
Apologetics
“Building Belief is thoughtful, fresh, and full of personal and practical illustrations. Meister strikes just the right balance, providing a model for how apologetics ought to be done.”
Theology
“In an era that diminishes or altogether dismisses divine wrath and judgment—a phenomenon found even within the church—Kinghorn and Travis have written a much-needed book on the subject. They point out that wrath is not a central attribute of God but is actually an expression of divine love, which is directed toward the well-being and flourishing of humans. The book is thoughtful, wise, and biblically informed. I enthusiastically recommend it!”
Science & Faith
“This volume is a welcome addition to the conversation on the Christian doctrine of creation. It presents a variety of perspectives that offer fresh insights, challenging ideas, and new terrain to explore. The book’s mutually enriching interdisciplinary character makes it all the more robust and enlivening.”
Apologetics
“Douglas Groothuis's Christian Apologetics is a substantive and immensely valuable resource. It not only sets forth an impressive, comprehensive case for the Christian faith, but interwoven throughout are important personal, cultural, and existential considerations and applications embedded in a context of robust engagement with Scripture and theology. The result is a wonderfully multifaceted and holistic treatment of apologetics. A pleasure to recommend!”
Apologetics
“J. Warner Wallace's Cold-Case Christianity offers a fascinating angle on the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. While Wallace does have experience as a former atheist--a bonus feature--he brings his expertise as a cold case detective to bear on the forensic aspects of the events surrounding the first Easter. This book is a unique contribution to the growing literature on Jesus' resurrection.”
