Behold the Man

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Just when I thought that it was virtually impossible to say anything truly unique about the historical Jesus, Peter S. Williams’s book, Behold the Man made its way to me. This is an insightful book that not only demands reading but also rewards re-reading. If you have become jaded about the Quest of the Historical Jesus—as many of us have—I encourage you not only to buy Williams’s collection of essays, but also to read them! I highly recommend this unique book.”

Divine Wrath in Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Books about God’s love, or God’s grace, are common, but few have been written on divine wrath. Yet, without understanding the bad news, we cannot fully appreciate the good news. Just as darkness precedes dawn, Calvary precedes Easter. Mercy without the possibility of wrath is simply arbitrary. Sin must be taken seriously; through Jesus, God really has done something extraordinary. The message of divine wrath must be preached so that we can see how truly amazing grace is. I am thankful that Gerald Stevens has given us this book that gazes deeply into a subject few scholars dare to take on, and goes where theologians fear to tread.”

Eat the Bible

Theology

“What a delicious gift Micah Chung has given us in Eat the Bible. When reading this book I found myself thinking, ‘That’s obviously right; why have I never seen that before?’ Not only is Eat the Bible a creative book, but it is also an edifying book. I love this book and highly recommend it.”

God in the Labyrinth

Theology

“Umberto Eco was a creative and pivotal thinker whose wide-ranging work has for too long been underappreciated by Evangelicals. I don’t know any scholar, old or young, mainline or Evangelical, that has studied the semiotics of Eco with a mind to theological method as closely as Andrew Hollingsworth has. In God in the Labyrinth Hollingsworth lays out for us a fresh and provocative thesis that deserves to be taken very seriously. I heartily recommend this book to you.”

Philosophy

“What a useful book! Philosophy: A Short, Visual Introduction is brief but every sentence is full of sense. Scott Paeth has given us an introduction that judiciously introduces students to the major philosophers and their philosophies. Joseph Novak’s illustrations are not only accurate and helpful but also visually pleasing. One thing I especially like is that unlike other introductions this book succeeds in showing how and why understanding these thinkers and their ideas is important for theologians and their students. I will definitely use this book in more than one course.”
