Theology

“Lincoln Harvey is a soccer fan of the most besotted sort, a supporter of Arsenal. What, as a Christian, should he make of the hours spent absorbed in an activity that does nothing but itself? I give away only a hint of his profound proposal by citing a chapter title: 'A Liturgical Celebration of Contingency.' This is high-flying theology that manages to be a good read--not a common achievement.”

Abraham's Promise

World Religions

“When I first heard Michael Wyschogrod many years ago, I knew that here is a Jewish theologian whom Christian theology needs for its own sake. Kendall Soulen's labor of love is therefore a blessing.”

Being Promised

Theology

“The title Being Promised works both ways: How does promising work? And what sort of being does promise open? Gregory Walter takes us through the intertwining postmodern problems of promise and gift with a penetrating eye and with patient teasing and tweaking. An amazing achievement.”

Christ at the Crux

Theology

“There are many ways of cutting a path through the forest of theological history. Paul Cumin takes us by way of thinkers who worried about the relation of a Creator to his creatures and encountered its crux in Christology. It proves an illuminating journey. And Cumin is a splendid guide, incisive and theologically insightful.”

Divine Complexity

Theology

“Throughout his career, Paul Hinlicky has shown a talent for finding new angles on much–treated topics. He has done it again. It is apparent that the biblical stories about God envision anything but a monadic simplicity. And that has been the problem for a religious culture antecedently dedicated to just such deity. Read Hinlicky for an illuminating new take on how we once worked through that.”

Not My Own

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Discussion of abortion in America has been conducted mostly in terms of natural law, and such discussion must continue. But Schlossberg and Achtemeier do a great service by reminding us of what, for believers, must be the starting point of reflection — that the church from its founding has condemned abortion as utterly incompatible with its life.”

Pandora's Box Opened

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Roy Harrisville has long studied biblical interpretation and thought much about it. This book presents the results -- insights both deeply thoughtful and comprehensive in scope. Congratulations are in order.”

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Promise and Presence

Theology

“[This] is a remarkable effort, and would be even if it failed. As it is, it is carried through with wide scholarly range, conceptual sophistication, and wit.”

Remembering the Christian Past

“Robert Wilken's memory is stocked with perhaps unequaled knowledge of the ancient church and its intellectual and social milieu and with a wide and quirky knowledge of the church and Western culture generally, more reminiscent of an earlier generation of English scholars than of the contemporary American academy. . . . He illuminates the contemporary situation of Christian intellect with such simplicity and ease that the result can even be called a good read.”

The Crucifixion

Theology

“This justly celebrated preacher has been digging into the doctrine of atonement for many years. Here is the rich harvest of her labors — a resource especially for preachers like herself.”

The Eschatological Economy

Theology

“Douglas Knight is a free-flowing fountain of unexpected ideas and connections.”

Trinitarian Ontology and Israel in Robert W. Jenson’s Theology

Theology

“Dr. Lee seeks to clarify a relation that lies deep in my theology, and to defend my construal of it against those who see in it a fatal flaw. In my obviously prejudiced opinion, he succeeds handsomely.”
