“A Light to the Nations . . . is an important book not only because it honors the memory of historian Gary B. McGee but also because it offers penetrating insights into Catholic-Pentecostal ecumenism, missions history and theology, and global Pentecostalism that propel a critical examination of current missiology. Perceptive chapters by leading Catholic, conciliar, and independent scholars produce a fascinating guide to the contemporary Christian world coupled with intriguing nudges into the future.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Until now there has been little in-depth analysis of the Bible from a missiological perspective. In this book, a premier mission theologian offers a thought-provoking study of the heart of God for the nations that covers the whole of Scripture.”
Evangelism & Missions
“En este libro, un teólogo de la misión de primer orden ofrece un estudio que hace pensar sobre el corazón de Dios para las naciones, el cual cubre la totalidad de las Escrituras.”
Empowering Spirit, Empowering Structures
History & Biography
“Empowering Spirit, Empowering Structures offers a meticulously crafted and inspiring biography of the missionary statesperson Noel Perkins and his impact on Assemblies of God World Missions. If ministerial life pulls us in the direction of leadership plateauing or discouragement, McKnight’s stirring view gives us a firm compulsion towards a riveted hope and divine affirmation. This book makes me call upon the Lord Jesus to take my stand as a follower of the Way.”
Extending Mercy to the Gentiles
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
Foreword
“John Harrigan’s Extending Mercy to the Gentiles brings fresh understanding of Pauline discipleship within the framework of Paul’s indigenous Jewish apocalyptic worldview. With an intriguing thesis and argument sustained by excellent engagement with the literature, Harrigan prudently leads the reader to a strong conclusion: Paul discipled Gentiles into the unaltered Jewish apocalyptic narrative, rather than away from it, together with the knowledge of God and hope of eternal life.”
History & Biography
“Robert J. Nyhuis in Global Revival has produced a superb historical study that speaks to us clearly and directly of the great spiritual need of today’s secular societies. The author introduces readers to a little-known antipodean gem of God’s glory that launched a global awakening in this delightfully readable and lively analysis of the 1902 R. A. Torrey revival meetings in Melbourne, Victoria. Filled with vivid prose and accompanied by original photographs, sermons, and letters along with study questions, this book has conveyed a living sense of Torrey the Chicagoan evangelist and the Melbourne revival within a socio-cultural context that many will realize they only thought they knew.”
Evangelism & Missions
“[Lingenfelter] analyzes case studies and provides illustrations which demonstrate that it is possible to exercise anointed, power-giving leadership that builds communities of trust empowered to achieve a common faith vision. In doing so, he provides a unique book that is extremely relevant to leaders or potential leaders in cross-cultural contexts--short-term, local church, parachurch organization, or mission agency.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Sarah Lunsford in Missiological Triage presents a well-argued thesis on a biblical and theological critique of the social sciences in mission. The bridging of theological reflection and missiological practice is an always relevant and, in today’s context, particularly pertinent topic. This is a needed and welcomed contribution to theology and missions that successfully gives a thorough study on a biblical reflection of social science-based mission methodologies.”
History & Biography
“In Missionary Monks, Edward L. Smither has taken the Protestant Reformation lid off a treasure trove of God's intriguing missional history and theology with scholarly authority and rich prose that enlightens contemporary adventures in the expansion of Christ's kingdom.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The author's thoughtful thesis of Luke the pastoral theologian is more in line with how the original writer regarded himself than the perennial view of Luke as the historio-theologian. Contextual to the original audience, Luke's powerful story inspires us to have confidence in the ancient art of storytelling to reveal the gospel to our contemporary, technology-savvy generation.”
History & Biography
“To my Fuller Theological Seminary mentors, J. Robert Clinton and Paul E. Pierson, who taught me a great deal about Christian leadership in the history of missions through their writings, example, and influence.”
Christian Living
“In this small volume, Craig Ott casts a rich and impressive resolve for the church on mission that is riveted in careful and balanced scriptural interpretation. The church as a transformational community has the mission to glorify God through the power of the Bible, bringing about an influence on our globe as it reaches out to all the nations and thus invades the world with the glory of the Lord. This marvelous book offers a lifetime’s missional reflection on Scripture by an outstanding missionary theologian and teacher-scholar.”
Evangelism & Missions
“In this excellent resource book, the late Paul G. Hiebert has distilled the best of his mature scholarship. Missionaries and global-minded Christian workers will savor the refreshing insights on how to bring down to earth the gospel they preach to reach the people they serve. Hiebert presents a third way to practice theology in preparing cross-cultural workers: in addition to systematic and biblical theologies, there is a need for missional theology.”
