Richard J. Mouw

Theology

“This wonderful book is surely destined to take its place among the classics of Reformed theology. It goes deep and wide in covering the strengths (and weaknesses) of the Reformed tradition while also placing it in the larger context of the universal body of Christ. And all of this points us to the depth and breadth of God's amazing grace!”

Globalizing Theology

Theology

“I hope this important volume is widely--and carefully--studied. It addresses a crucial need for the contemporary Christian movement: a globalized theology for a globalized church. The writers take us to new levels of exploration of what the gospel of Jesus Christ means for the multicultural, multiethnic, multinational community of the Lamb.”

God, Freedom and Human Dignity

Philosophy

“In this fine book Ron Highfield exposes the false advertising of those who call us to find true freedom and dignity apart from an obedient relationship to our Maker. And he does it with philosophical and theological savvy, charting the complex course that has gotten us to the delusions of 'modern selfhood'--delusions that can only be cured by accepting the promises of the gospel.”

Good Tools Are Half the Job

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Theology at its best must equip pastors on the front lines of ministry. Pastoring at its best will draw on the best of theological insights. This book shows us how all of that can happen. And in this case a world-class theologian and a gifted hospital chaplain really know how to talk to each other. Together they impart much-needed wisdom in this wonderful book!”

Grace and Global Justice

Theology

“In this important book Richard Gibb provides an illuminating critical survey of key theological explorations of topics relating to political-economic concerns. But unlike so many theological explorations of such matters, that stay mostly on the level of generalization, he demonstrates--in ways that I found extremely insightful--the actual connections of theology to urgent issues of economic justice, globalization, and political authority.”

Head, Heart and Hands

Christian Living

“Dennis Hollinger provides wise counsel for correcting a defect that plagues us all these days: the fragmenting of our lives--not only as individuals but also in our congregations and outreach ministries. We desperately need the reintegration of head, heart and hands that he calls for!”

How Does America Hear the Gospel?

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is a profound study of how the gospel relates to the North American context. Dyrness combines cross-cultural sensitivities with theological astuteness and a solid grasp of American experiences and traditions. His brief analysis of Robert Schuller's 'contextualized message' is simply brilliant! I recommend this book with much enthusiasm.”

How to Read the Bible to Hear God Speak

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Cal Seerveld not only provides an extremely insightful and stimulating reading of the Balaam stories, he also shows us how to understand a passage like this in the larger context of the larger promise-and-fulfillment drama of Biblical revelation. In these pages we are given a much needed—and exciting!—refresher course in how to read the Bible.”

How to Survive the Apocalypse

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Dear Netflix: Hold off on sending Parks and Recreation and start me on the second season of The Walking Dead. After reading this terrific book by Alissa Wilkinson and Robert Joustra, I have decided I am ready for more apocalypse. I had been immersed in the writings of Alasdair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor, but this book helped me connect their philosophical explorations to dystopian narratives. So I am now going to work at coming up with my own informed understandings of zombie plots.”

In the Footsteps of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The Gospel stories cover only a limited territory in what was happening in the world during the time of the ministry of Jesus. Roy Lennox gives us the larger picture in intriguing detail. His accounts of political drama, tribal tensions, and religious conflict cast helpful light on what the Bible tells us of ‘the footsteps of Jesus.’”

In This World of Wonders

History & Biography

“I never took a course from Nick Wolterstorff, but he has been my teacher for the past half-century. The range of his contributions to the Christian life of the mind is amazing. But now, in this fine memoir, we get an even richer picture—a portrait of what it means to journey through life as an integrated person who exhibits in a very personal way a profound commitment to truth, beauty, and justice.”

Invitation to Theology

Theology

“I'm glad that I accepted Michael Jinkins's invitation to study theology with him. Jinkins makes good on his promise that theological study will come alive when it helps us to see our world--and our own lives in that world--through the reality of the living Christ.”

Is the Father of Jesus the God of Muhammad?

World Religions

“biblical faith. But he also points us to the Crucified One who alone is mighty to save. This is must reading for all thoughtful Christians who want to understand their Muslim neighbors better.”

Israel's Messiah and the People of God

Theology

“Mark Kinzer is a 'break-through' thinker who has taken Messianic Judaism to a new level of theological sophistication. No one who cares deeply about the relationship between Judaism and Christianity can afford to ignore these essays.”

Joining Jesus

Evangelism & Missions

“These engagingly told local stories teach us a crucial, universal message. When we reach out in faith . . . to embrace communities that go beyond definitions of who ‘we’ are, wonderful things happen. Most importantly, we grow together as believers into a more profound awareness of who we are in Jesus Christ.”

Keys to Bonhoeffer's Haus

History & Biography

“In this marvelously engaging book, Fabrycky has given folks who may never visit the Bonhoeffer-Haus in Berlin a chance to unlock the doors and linger in its rooms. In these pages Bonhoeffer speaks to us again, and in new ways that are crucial for the journey of faith in our own day.”

Latter-day Saint Theology among Christian Theologies

World Religions

“Anyone who still identifies Mormonism with the anti-Christian ‘cults’ should read this wonderful book. Grant Underwood is a gifted Latter-day Saint historian who has established his reputation as an authoritative chronicler of developments in Mormon doctrinal teachings. Now in this impressive work he shows us how Latter-day Saint thought should be seen as occupying a legitimate place in the theologies of the broad Christian community. Underwood treats the major themes of classical theology—such as the divine attributes, Christ’s atoning work, grace, ‘good works,’ and the power of the Holy Spirit—with empathy, clarity, and an obvious desire to be faithful to the heart of the Gospel. This book is a groundbreaking accomplishment in fostering mutual understanding where there has long been theological name-calling!”
