Theology
“In recent decades there has been a noticeable resurgence of interest in the early church and its classical faith. In Classical Christian Doctrine, Ronald Heine provides a very useful resource for those seeking a travel guide to this intriguing ecclesiastical terrain. Using the topics posed by the Nicene Creed as a heuristic framework, Heine expertly explores a range of theological issues and debates that eventually came to define historic orthodox Christianity. A wonderful choice for an undergraduate textbook.”
Christian Living
“In this book, Dan Kent takes the reader on a transformative journey into the heart of humility. Filled with powerful analogies, penetrating insights, and Kingdom wisdom, Confident Humility sheds new light upon an ancient Christian virtue. Highly recommended!”
Theology
“In this volume, we are treated to a wonderful dialogue on an often-neglected topic in theology. Matz and Thornhill have assembled a capable group of scholars who not only provide a stimulating set of perspectives on this issue but who do so with winsomeness and grace. An excellent addition to the Spectrum series!”
Theology
“The claim that God is impassible—that, since God cannot be affected by anything external to himself, God does not suffer—has been a plank of classical theism through the centuries. In this book, Andrew J. Schmutzer assembles a solid team of authors to scrutinize anew this long-standing theological proposition. An impressively wide array of approaches and topics are well canvassed. A landmark book in defense of the suffering of God.”
Apologetics
“Faith Is Like Skydiving is a wonderfully practical how-to guide for aspiring apologists. Mattson covers a nice range of topics, offering creative analogies by which to communicate thoughtful answers to tough questions. Highly recommended!”
Play, Tongues, and Liberation Power
Theology
“Boese offers a bold contribution to the exciting field of contemporary Pentecostal theology. . . . Under Boese’s insightful analysis, speaking in tongues—far from emerging as an academic embarrassment—is recognized as one of the ‘foolish things’ that confounds the worldly-wise: a divine gift that offers communal prophetic power wrapped in the appearance of weakness. As a fellow pastor-theologian, I highly recommend this book!”
The Crucifixion of the Warrior God
Theology
“Divine violence in the Old Testament has, in recent years, become one of the most pressing problems for Christian thinkers. Common ways forward include either synthesizing this material with the nonviolent portrait of God revealed in Jesus or dismissing it as lacking in any real revelational import. In this groundbreaking new work, Gregory A. Boyd charts a third way, a largely unexplored path that recovers lost intuitions of the early church. In the process, he offers a new hermeneutic that promises to put Christ and him crucified at the center of all biblical interpretation in a consistent fashion. This two-volume project is both sweeping in scope and stunning in its many insights.”
The Tax Collector and the Pharisee
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“More than a few scholars have concluded that it is implausible to think that the justification theme found within the Lukan parable of the pharisee and the tax collector derives not from Pauline-influenced redaction but from Jesus himself. Tan-Gatue renders this claim not only plausible, but downright compelling. Tan-Gatue constructs an impressive cumulative case by weaving together detailed exegesis, critical reflections on authenticity criteria, and historical-cultural insights drawn from first-century Judaism and oral-tradition studies. The result serves as an important contribution to Lukan and Pauline studies, and to historical-Jesus research.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In her book Tribe, Sandra Mayes Unger brings into alignment a series of all-too-rare juxtapositions--practical insight informed by academic rigor, personal experience grounded in authentic relationships, and--most importantly--a living example of flourishing human community arising from the very differences that, so often, threaten the very possibility of community itself. This is a remarkable book that offers hope, inspiration, and wisdom for all who seek to walk in the ways of love and justice.”
