Robert C. Morgan
History & Biography
“As I read over this remarkable life story in the form of letters to his daughters, I recall a passage from the poet Yeats, that we praise the soldier who returns victorious from the trenches, but rarely do we praise the person who goes deeply within himself and emerges victorious. I am convinced [Kramer] has emerged victorious.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This new collection combines some of the best anglophone New Testament theology of the past forty years with deep reflection on current biblical scholarship in relation to the church’s thinking, preaching, and praying through the study of its scriptures. An engaging style with more than occasional humor makes it accessible well beyond the seminary teachers and clergy who stand to benefit most from these mature fruits of a brilliant and productive career.”
Theology
“Lincoln's masterly literary and historical analyses of the traditions relating to Jesus' birth in the New Testament and beyond offer theological and hermeneutical reflection at its best and a model for maintaining a responsible conversation between opposing views. On a subject where some think there is little more to say, this book provides a theological education in miniature.”
Christianity and the Christian Church of the First Three Centuries
History & Biography
“No historical theologian has contributed more than Baur to a rational understanding of Christian origins and history . . . Professor Hodgson is his outstanding English-language interpreter. His introduction and, with Robert Brown, lucid translation of this most important synthesis invites fresh assessments of modern New Testament scholarship by revisiting the origins of that discipline’s dominant paradigm.”
Church and Theology in the Modern Era
History & Biography
“This fourth of F. C. Baur’s classic five-volume history of Christianity up to 1850 provides non-German readers with a less familiar Lutheran perspective on the Reformation(s) and the subsequent shaping of European Christianities. Translated and annotated for the first time, its historical analyses and theological evaluations offer a fresh and optimistic vision of Protestantism as a new birth of freedom in the evolution of Western culture. As the architect and greatest practitioner of historical theology, Baur is always suggestive and often provocative, but this account of a most formative period of Christian history is more accessible to the general reader than any other of his twenty thousand pages. It deserves to be widely read.”
Church and Theology in the Nineteenth Century
History & Biography
“The series of Baur translations expertly introduced and edited by Professor Hodgson is helping English-speaking students to a deeper understanding of the Enlightenment and Idealist contributions to modern western Christianity. . . . It throws fresh light on perennial issues: the relationship of philosophy and theology, tradition and modernity, church and state, governance, ecumenism, academic freedom.”
History & Biography
“An outstanding Oxford classicist, New Testament scholar, teacher, church theologian, and social activist, Anthony Harvey has achieved more than most. This searingly honest account of what it all looks like in retrospect and from the inside prompts searching questions about England today, its established Church, and its ancient universities.”
Preaching & Worship
“This book has a permanent place on my bookshelf. As a tenured pastor, I'm worried how disposable our Christian practices are—short-lived songs, stream-of-consciousness prayers, forgettable sermons. I'm weary of fads. In our worship, both personal and at church, we need a sense of majesty, a connection with godly tradition, and enduring patterns to guide us from the secular to the spiritual. I'm not from a 'high church' tradition, but how I need sacred elements to stabilize my scattered heart! Aaron Damiani's words have lifted me up. They'll do the same for you.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The whole project fills me with enthusiasm. Philip Esler is developing a genuinely alternative way of carrying out the aims of New Testament theology.”
Paul, the Apostle of Jesus Christ
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The monumental retrieval of Baur through greatly improved (and some new) English translations reaches a high point in this edition of his 1845 Paul. His critical analysis of Acts has survived best, but the pioneer’s insights and mistakes about the shorter epistles both remain instructive, and his Hegel-influenced interpretation of Paul’s theology is still suggestive. Reflection on both the history of biblical interpretation and the place of philosophy in theological interpretation stand to be stimulated by this refurbished classic, again very helpfully introduced by Professor Hodgson.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Refreshingly free of jargon, Dr. Salmeier's close reading of Acts uses character analysis to illuminate the text's portrayal of God. His discussion offers a clear path through the recent debate and invites the attention of a broad readership.”
Self-Deception and Wholeness in Paul and Matthew
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Via achieves his extraordinary penetration of these central Christian texts by first honing his analytic tool in the disciplines of philosophy, literary criticism, and psychology. This insightful development of existential interpretation takes New Testament theology and ethics in a promising new direction.”
The Disciples according to Mark
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A brilliant and necessary critique. . . . It shows the potential of studying the history of research in order to challenge and redraw the contours of biblical criticism.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Via's integration of a literary dimension into some sophisticated theological interpretation represents one of the more significant theoretical advances in recent biblical interpretation.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A quite new reading of the epistle.... Elliott sees Romans as essentially a paraenetic document, and with the help of literary and sociological arguments achieves a reading of chapters 1–4 which avoids many of the difficulties attached to other approaches.... Among the more important works on Romans to have appeared in recent years....”
The Theology of Paul in Three Dimensions
Theology
“This sophisticated engagement with Paul’s thinking by an outstanding exegete will take thoughtful readers deep into the meaning of myth, evil, sacrifice, atonement, reconciliation, and Israel, and should challenge specialists to revisit familiar themes in their relevance for contemporary theology.”
Christian Living
“Unleashing Peace is packed with incredible stories, digestible teachings, readable truths, and constructive coaching. I truly felt a sense of well-being as I turned the pages of this book, drinking in its biblical message.”
