Islam and Judeo-Christianity

World Religions

“The arrival of a new work by Jacques Ellul so long after his death is worth celebrating. . . . Ellul on Islam is crisply theological, and provides some key insights into how Christians should respond to the high moral tone which Islam sometimes takes in the west. . . . It is a very useful addition to the Ellul corpus, enabling us to see how he combined orthodox Protestantism with a rich social engagement.”

Losing Our Religion?

“This is a compelling read, engagingly written, with brief and crisp chapters exploring many aspects. This book is not slow to advance its thesis, that religion remains strong despite the waning of religious institutions. It is replete with lively argument, skilful use of statistics, and theory explored with a light touch. I am delighted to commend it.”

Saved to Save and Saved to Serve

History & Biography

“This book is a rich history . . . a very helpful book for those of us trying to make sense of the Army from outside, helping us to interpret language we would struggle to understand. I highly recommend this book.”

The Hidden Authorship of Søren Kierkegaard

Philosophy

“In the vast array of books about Kierkegaard, this modest work makes a stunning contribution by suggesting a very coherent way to make sense of Kierkegaard's use of the device of pseudonymous authorship. Neatly yet profoundly, Jacob Sawyer offers a persuasive interpretation of the coherence of the great Danish spiritual writer, combining rich scholarship with a spirituality which breathes the spirit of Kierkegaard.”
