History & Biography
“Readers of this text will find in its pages a work that has the ability to inform their context with depth and insight. This is an amazing accomplishment considering that a young German scholar wrote it in 1942. Victoria Barnett's treatment of this text is characteristic of the careful professional scholarship to which her readers are accustomed, and is a significantly helpful complement to the essay for contemporary readers.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I saw the beginnings of this masterful work by Sanders years ago, as it was in its nascent stages. The fact that it speaks to our contemporary situation with keen insight, and academic rigor is a testament to the author’s brilliance . . . This text is a timely engagement with political philosophy, and theological ethics that is robust enough for graduate students, but written in such a way that it is accessible to a broad audience of lifelong learners.”
Theology
“With this book, Professor Kirkpatrick offers us a tremendously helpful overview of Bonhoeffer's life and work. Whether you are a layperson reading about Bonhoeffer in a church group, or a student studying Bonhoeffer in a formal academic setting, this book is a great place to start.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“One of the most valuable contributions to the work of antiracism in recent years. Harvey demonstrates with compelling accuracy and clarity why popular Christian dialogue about racial reconciliation does not work but in fact only serves to reinscribe historic, systemic problems.”
Theology
“Professor Brian Brock opens a new chapter in the study of Christian ethics, albeit within a familiar book. By reference to the biblical creation narratives of Genesis 1–3, Brock joins with other theological ethicists who have derived from them an interpretation of Christian normativity. His engagement is contemporary, thorough, and relevant. This is a helpful contribution to the study of Christian ethics.”
Women
“Katie's Canon illustrates the work of making Black women visible. Cannon demonstrates the presence of another canon of moral reasoning not bound to the predominately white and male academy.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“What Curtis Freeman has accomplished with Pilgrim Letters is important. This catechism is open and accessible to a broad spectrum of travelers along the Christian way. Very insightful, and helpful.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“It was Bonhoeffer's take on Jesus that eventually led to his early death at the hands of the Nazis. He was a Christ-centered theologian. All that Bonhoeffer did as a Christian was derived from that central focus. In these pages, Bonhoeffer demonstrates his deft exegetical skill as he reads the Psalms with a christological focus. It is continued evidence of the depth of his insights that his Christ-centered interpretation remains relevant today.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“History has proven the devastating effects of reading the Bible irresponsibly. Whole streams of thought that began from misreading the Bible, unintentionally and otherwise, continue to flow through political currents that wreak havoc on our lives together, and even on the planet itself. Bashaw relies on the insightful work of René Girard to render a critical analysis of this historical problem and offer a timely encouragement for how to read responsibly.”
History & Biography
“This study of Bonhoeffer demonstrates a masterful grasp on the history and the context of Bonhoeffer¹s theological corpus. In Theologian of Resistance, Christiane Tietz takes readers on a biographical journey with Bonhoeffer, from his childhood to his untimely death at the hands of the Nazis. Students encountering Bonhoeffer for the first time, and those very familiar with Bonhoeffer, will find this to be a very rewarding book. In addition to reading Bonhoeffer's theology contextually, Tietz offers readers a brief interaction with the historical, global reception of Bonhoeffer studies. This is a must read for any serious study of Bonhoeffer.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“The question "What do we do?" when facing the historical problem of racism is complex. It's even more complex to answer that question as a member of the demographics targeted by racism. Responses to the question are often trite and lack the content adequate to the problem. In contrast, Professor Micah L. McCreary offers a robust, trauma-informed analysis of racism's impact on African (Black), Latino/a/x, Native (Indigenous), and Asian Americans that addresses complexity and proves adequate to the problem. This book is sure to become a classic text in its field.”
