Philip D. Kenneson

Endangered Gospel

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In an era where more and more Christians desperately long to make the world a better place, John Nugent dares to question these well-meaning desires by challenging us to recover our unique and peculiar calling as the church: to serve the world by embodying and bearing witness to God's better place, the in-breaking kingdom of God.”

Faithful Interpretation

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“For over fifteen years, A. K. M. Adam has been patiently urging us to abandon the modern quest for the holy grail of correct interpretive method. In these illuminating and instructive essays, Adam helps us see not only why such a quest is bound to fail, but also where to direct our energies instead. For as Adam rightly reminds us, for that community called church, the practice of reading the Bible is not primarily about 'getting it right,' but about being transformed into a more faithful embodiment of the gospel.”

Marakwet

World Religions

“Samuel Elolia’s case study of the tensions between traditional Marakwet cultural formation and the legacy of Western missions is a welcome contribution to contemporary reckonings of the impact of the latter on indigenous people and their cultures. His work urges us to consider how genuine dialogue could be liberating for all parties, helping them better discern together how incarnation as inculturation might be more faithfully embodied.”

Mere Discipleship

Christian Living

“In this accessible yet challenging book, Lee Camp seeks nothing less than to recover for the church the language and practice of discipleship. He insists insists that we wrestle with uncomfortable and impolite questions, daring to ask what everyday life might look like if Christians pledged ultimate allegiance to God’s inbreaking kingdom rather than to the kingdoms of this world. A must-read for anyone who desires to follow the way of Jesus more faithfully.”

Our Only Hope

Theology

“In this important and engaging work, Adam rescues theological hope from the limitations of its Moltmannian fashions by recovering much-needed wisdom from the wider Christian tradition. She likewise challenges us to rethink several intractable problems surrounding Christian hope by engaging with several unconventional yet surprisingly resourceful discourses. A most timely book in an age bereft of genuine hope.”

Priest, Prophet, Pilgrim

Arts & Literature

“By bringing into sharp theological relief the characters drawn from two masterful but intriguingly different writers, Edmondson helps us better imagine how our embodied and seemingly mundane lives in communion with each other and creation might bear powerful witness to both the beauty and the sacredness of life in the flesh.”

Pursuing an Earthy Spirituality

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Have you ever wondered why so many Christians confess the goodness of God's creation yet hesitate to enter into its pleasures with unabashed joy? If so, these pages are for you. By drawing on the whole corpus of Lewis's work, Gary Selby deftly presents a much-needed corrective to the often joyless and disembodied spirituality of our age. Rich with practical wisdom and illuminating examples, Selby's joyful vision might just revolutionize how you dwell in the world.”

Teaching That Transforms

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Few tasks facing the contemporary church are more urgent than coming to an understanding of the critical importance of Christian formation. Yet as Debra Dean Murphy demonstrates so ably in these pages, this task is too often undermined by the alien assumptions that reside at the core of the 'religious education establishment. Murphy's penetrating analysis and profound proposals will be welcomed by anyone who had ever longed for a theory and practice of Christian education that would flow out of and do justice to the deep and abiding mysteries at the heart of Christian worship.”

Walking in the Prophetic Tradition

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Bembry skillfully brings into conversation the Old Testament prophets and modern-day truth-tellers in ways that are mutually enriching, freeing these ancient voices from domestication while at the same time offering those who would dare speak truth to power in our day timely lessons from this oft-ignored Biblical tradition. An inspiring and challenging call to all who desire in our day to walk more faithfully in the way of justice and truth.”
