Against

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In this tour de force, Tad DeLay refuses to mince words as he exposes contemporary white evangelicalism for what it’s become: faith in white supremacy, misogyny, and heteronormativity masquerading as faith in Christ. By pulling back this curtain, he shows us that what is commonly confused for white evangelical hypocrisy is actually perfectly consistent with the white evangelical desire for domination and destruction. This book is a must read for all those who wish to better understand the hidden motivations of contemporary white evangelicals, as well as those who recognize the urgent responsibility of resisting what white evangelicalism has become in this day and age.”

Breaking and Entering

Preaching & Worship

“Elizabeth Goodman has provided a gift to everyone who longs for the beauty and wonder of God to break into our lives and to transform our world. Rarely is a collection of sermons so theologically rich, offering reflections on scripture that, like the Spirit herself, take us by surprise and lead us where we never before dreamed possible.”

Hoping Against Hope

Philosophy

“By helping us reimagine the very way we conceive of religion (without religion), John D. Caputo writes for those of us who live our lives somewhere between belief and doubt yet feel overcome by an unconditional call of love and wonder that will not let us go."”

I Won't Shut Up

Christian Living

“Thank God Ally Henny won’t shut up. In this honest, provocative book, written in the spirit of liberation and love, she speaks the kind of truth that can set us free. Like the prophets of old, she invites readers to experience transformation, hope, and the possibility of a better future, if only we have the wisdom to listen.”

Preaching from the Old Testament

Preaching & Worship

“With a scholar's wisdom and a pastor's heart, Walter Brueggemann shares his magisterial reflections on the Old Testament in order to help preachers develop transformative sermons that are faithful to the text and the gospel. Pastors already familiar with his scholarship will appreciate his desire to show how it directly intersects with the task of preaching, while those encountering his work for the first time will quickly learn why he has long been regarded as one of the church's most important thinkers.”

Proclamation and Celebration

Preaching & Worship

“By providing an engaging, accessible introduction to Christianity's major festivals, Susan Hedahl invites preachers to mine the riches of festival proclamation in ways that celebrate the wonder, mystery, and grace of God. Here we encounter fresh possibilities for transformative preaching that are deeply rooted in Christian tradition. Every preacher who values the lectionary should read this book.”
