Partnership in the Gospel

Theology

“Robert Hill’s Partnership in the Gospel invites us into the exercise rooms of liberal biblical theology. With a pastor’s heart and a scholar’s mind, Hill asks us to join the ‘commonwealth of the gospel.’ This volume abounds with fresh theological insights, deep biblical exploration, rich pastoral experience, and a teacher’s gift for inductive counsel. Here is a valuable reminder of how self-critical and liberating faith is discovered, then re-discovered, and then lived out every day.”

The Courageous Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Here is the work of an exceptional preacher and teacher who weaves together hard-won insights from years of study and writing. The sermons are a treasure and the lectures are filled with careful scholarship. . . . Hill leads us to a vista that sees beyond previous limited categories of analysis. He joins the earliest witnesses in suggesting this gospel is given so we might believe and have life.”

The Secret Transcript of the Council of Bishops

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Wood is an astute observer of things Methodist. This fictional conversation regarding the inclusion of LGBTQ persons in the church is laced with humor and irony, and a careful mining of historical resources. One hopes real-life bishops struggle as fully with the religion of the heart, or Wesley's practical theology and views on justification. Our current impasse is made clearer, and helpful hints are provided as to how we might find a way forward, together.”

Theology in Language, Rhetoric, and Beyond

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Professor Lundbom provides a rich resource for scholars, pastors, and others who seek first-rate scholarship on several critical concepts and themes of Scripture. The essays are brief and clear, reflecting the best of contemporary studies in Hebrew Scripture. Whether exploring the meaning of grace, forgiveness, or God's wrath, these essays are a must for the serious student of the Bible. Of particular note is the way in which Lundbom weaves together the story of early Christianity with the more recent founding of churches in Africa and Asia. A working teacher or preacher should have this resource at hand.”
