Cover of Revitalizing Theological Epistemology

Theology

“In this insightful book, Steven Sherman explores issues that are at the heart of current debates about the foundationalist epistemology that has long held sway in evangelical theology. He does so, not only with philosophical and theological savvy, but also with a deep commitment to the truth of the Gospel.”

Save Europe

Evangelism & Missions

“Ted Kim has a bold vision for renewing the cause of the gospel in Europe. In a manner that is both highly informative and delightfully provocative, he sets forth his vision with solid theology, cultural savvy, and practical wisdom. Reading him has forced me to rethink some things that I have been taking for granted. In this fine book Ted Kim has given me some new reasons to be hopeful about what God will yet accomplish in Europe—and beyond that in the global church.”

Secularism and the Pursuit of Transcendence, Volume I

Philosophy

“Over recent decades McMaster Divinity College’s General Studies Series has provided us with significant works on the role of religion in the human experience, and with these two volumes the gifts continue. Stan and Wendy Porter have edited a collection of essays that brings together top rate scholars who give us much wisdom about the continuing quest for transcendence in what is allegedly our pervasively secularistic culture. And Wendy’s wise essay tells us much about the world of music—a key area where transcendence continues to break into our lives. It would be illuminating to read both volumes together!”

Shalom and the Ethics of Belief

Philosophy

“In this important book, Nathan Shannon offers a reliable exposition of the themes that unify Nicholas Wolterstorff's rich contribution to philosophical and theological inquiry. But Shannon does more. In explaining Wolterstorff's complex system with admirable clarity, Shannon adds new insights of his own to our understanding of shalom-centered life and thought.”

Shaping Character

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Arthur Holmes has written a profound book on a timely topic. It ought to be widely read. More importantly, its wise insights and prescriptions ought to be put into practice wherever people care about faithful and effective Christian higher education.”

Silence and Beauty

Arts & Literature

“When I read Shusaku Endo's Silence for the first time, I vowed that I would refuse to ever read anything written about it. I wanted to preserve the profound sense of mystery and beauty that the novel evoked in me. I am so happy now that I broke that vow by reading this wonderful book by Makoto Fujimura. Mako not only enhances and deepens the sense of mystery, but—as he has done so consistently in his visual works of art—he adds significantly to the beauty!”

Soul Recreation

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In this fine book Tom Schwanda lets us in on something that has regrettably been kept a secret in recent years: that the Puritans have much to teach us about a genuinely Christian-yes, and even a profoundly Calvinist!-mysticism. Isaac Ambrose here offers us profound guidance from the seventeenth century, about matters that are of crucial importance for the present-day quest for godliness.”

Struggling with Evangelicalism

Foreword

“Dan Stringer was once my student, but now he has become my teacher. I learned a lot from this book, about both the brokenness and beauty of the movement that I love. He also offers many wise, practical lessons about how to go about the necessary repair work. May it happen!”

Television

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Edward John Carnell was--in my estimation--the brightest and the best of the neo-evangelical leaders. He was a courageous thinker who was not afraid to think new thoughts in the service of biblical orthodoxy. The Carnell Library is a gift to today's evangelical movement.”

The Antirevolutionary

History & Biography

“Groen van Prinsterer was a brilliant scholar-statesman who had a profound influence on nineteenth century Dutch political and religious thought. Unfortunately, little has been known about him in the English-speaking world. Now we have the much-needed corrective in this impressive study of Groen’s life and thought, authored by Roel Kuiper, himself a gifted Dutch scholar-statesman!”

The Chinese Exodus

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This profoundly important book provides an in-depth study of one of the major crises in contemporary China: the tragic plight of the large numbers of rural poor who have migrated to urban centers in recent years. These folks experience difficult—indeed, in many cases, unspeakable—hardships. Li Ma not only describes the contours of their lives with impressive sociological insight, but she also advocates on their behalf by making it clear that their plight touches the very heart of God. I hope that this fine book moves many human hearts—as it has moved mine!”

The Crucifixion

Theology

“Though I have been thinking much about the cross of Christ for a half-century now, Fleming Rutledge has taught me many new things in this wonderful book. And where she addresses matters that I have long cherished, she has inspired me anew. This book is a gift to all of us who pray for a genuine revival of crucicentric preaching and cruciform discipleship!”

The Facts on the Ground

Theology

“William Dyrness gives marvelous guidance here about God’s call to us to walk wisely together as human beings. And in our quests for cultural wisdom, he argues, we will often find rich resources from ‘the facts on the ground’ well beyond the Christian community. This is a wise book about the wisdom that equips us to discern and promote God’s purposes for the creation.”
