An Infinite Fountain of Light

History & Biography

“A remarkable book that renders Jonathan Edwards highly accessible to twenty-first-century evangelicals. Marsden wonderfully brings together a lifetime of reflection on American religious history and decades of work on Edwards to reveal the ways Edwards's powerful theological vision and penetrating spiritual theology can practically contribute to the renewal of the church today. An Infinite Fountain of Light is an outstanding example of how history and biography inspire, convey a sense of wisdom, and positively inform our present.”

Edwards and the Edwardseans

History & Biography

“David Kling’s book wonderfully brings together features not normally found in one volume: theological wisdom combined with outstanding historical research, a reading of Edwards which does not pit him against the Edwardseans, and astute scholarly reflection coupled with a robust concern for Christian spirituality and mission. A masterful set of essays that illuminates the global reach of Edwards’s ministry. I will be consulting it for years to come.”

So All Israel Shall Be Saved

Theology

“Parker’s unique study provides a rich history of the biblical theology movement in the last century. It examines the Moore School of Biblical Theology, pioneered by Donald Robinson, and its relationship to both reformed supersessionism and dispensationalism on the relationship between Israel and the church. This is a superb work that splendidly lays out the geography of the field of biblical theology!”

Tethered to the Cross

History & Biography

“In Tethered to the Cross, Thomas Breimaier has done a marvelous job crafting a superb academic study of Spurgeon that is very accessible to a broad readership. Readers will finish its pages and be surprised to find that they not only thoroughly know Spurgeon's biography, but that they also have been deeply informed by his theology and the nineteenth-century historical context in which he lived. Noteworthy throughout the book is the way Breimaier illuminates Spurgeon's interpretation of Scripture, showing us how the great preacher connected all of Scripture with the grand evangelical themes of conversion and the cross of Christ.”

The Doctrine of the Covenant of Redemption According to John Gill (1697–1771)

Theology

“Dr. Lee’s thoroughly researched study introduces readers to Gill’s unique approach to the covenant of redemption, ultimately showing how Gill can embrace covenant theology as a decided Baptist. A marvelous work that richly rewards careful reading!”

The Making of a Battle Royal

History & Biography

“‘How does a major denomination “lose its faith?”’ Jeffrey Straub details the fascinating history of a major American denomination that once cherished the Bible, conversion, and missions, and how it lost its way. The Making of a Battle Royal has all the ingredients of good church history: biographies of major leaders, theological controversy, and the struggle for control of the denomination's seminaries. Straub's history of the past is prophetic for our future: Will we stand firm on Scripture or slowly lose our way?”

Wesley and Whitefield? Wesley versus Whitefield?

History & Biography

“Empowered by the publication of an earlier successful work on two of the eighteenth century’s most important evangelical leaders, Ian Maddock has assembled a number of leading scholars, representing distinct traditions, to explore the engaging topic of Wesley and Whitefield as well as Wesley versus Whitefield . . . I highly recommend this book.” —Kenneth J. Collins, Director, The Wesleyan Studies Summer Seminar, Asbury Theological Seminary “This is a creative and unique book that tracks the biographies of two well-known figures whose ministries were deeply intertwined. The book compares Wesley and Whitefield on a whole range of topics (conversion, their views on Christian formation, mentoring, and slavery) as well as theology (Christian perfection, covenant theology, and the atonement). It is a feast for those interested in the nexus between theology, ministry, and history.”
