Richard Burnett

Called to Be a People of the Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“No preacher in America in the last fifty years has done a better job of introducing people to the mystery and power of Paul’s letters than Earl Palmer. Mining Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians for the better part of a century, he presents us here with the fruit of his labor: bright diamonds and polished gems on page after page!”

Church Doctrine, Volume 3

Theology

“The writing of dogmatics is and always has been a rare undertaking in America. Rarer still are those equipped to do so well. With deep grounding in the ancient tradition of the church, profound awareness of the major fault lines in modern theology, and extraordinary insight into contemporary questions and the global situation, Paul McGlasson has produced a brilliant work on the doctrine of creation, which, like his first two volumes in this series, is refreshingly reformed, orthodox, and ecumenical. Clear, cogent, and compelling, it is a gift to the Christian Community.”

Forgiveness, Reconciliation, and Moral Courage

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Digested as a whole or used for its summaries of several forgiveness/reconciliation traditions and approaches, this wise book has the capacity to work in readers what its practices have worked in countless people through the ages. Today, more than ever, we desire and need the sort of analysis, counsel, and prophetic insights offered by these two esteemed guides. After reading this book, you will forgive (and understand forgiveness) with deeper compassion, biblical and theological awareness, and moral imagination.”

It Is Well with My Soul

Preaching & Worship

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Preaching Through Luke

Preaching & Worship

“Those looking for clever introductions or illustrations, laced with psychological points of contact supposedly to 'reach people where they are,' will be disappointed. But those looking for serious theological exposition that is attentive to details and the subtleties of the soul will rejoice and be edified. These sermons are refreshingly respectful of both text and hearer. Disciplined, focused, and modest, they remind one of Calvin's preaching and overflow with penetrating insights deep from the well of the Reformed tradition.”

The Influence of the Church on the Local Community

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“With a lively blend of demographic and urban development analysis joined with brave New Testament theology for the twenty-first century, Brother Abraham instructs, reminds, provokes, and reforms us as we approach new realities for a truly global future. This book is both transcultural and personally transformational, and will be helpful for many in the ecumenical community.”

The Seduction of the Church

“Attempting to exorcise the demon of sexism from its Bible and hymns, leaders in the mainline Protestant church do not seem to care that seven more may have entered in. But Malcolm Doubles cares, and he calls them out by name. He says what few have dared to say, namely, that we've been trading our rich theological inheritance and language of faith for a poor mess of pottage.”

Witness to Life

Preaching & Worship

“What a privilege to read this beautiful book! It flows out of the life of one of the most articulate, dedicated, and faithful servants of the Word of our times. It is full of wisdom, hope, and joy.”
