Theology
“This book is a fascinating and ground-breaking exploration of the unraveling of traditional concepts of hell in the Victorian novel and in the daring exploration of alternative theological conceptualizations of hell and salvation in such fictional works. In this welcome contribution, Woodley sheds fresh light on a surprisingly neglected subject.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“In Conversations with Silence form and content kiss each other in a text that is both richly profound and beautifully written. Who knew silence was so tonal and eloquent!”
Theology
“In this book, Stephen Jonathan offers an important contribution to the current discussion on the possibility of salvation after death. Combining biblical, theological, missiological, and pastoral reflections, this work is well researched, clearly written, exegetically nuanced, very informative, balanced, irenic, and cautious when appropriate, yet bold when necessary. It is, to my mind, far and away the most helpful book available addressing the topic.”
Theology
“What might happen if instead of pushing and squeezing our doctrine of God to fit into our off-the-shelf doctrine of hell, we flip things around and allow the biblical revelation of God to inform the way we think about final judgment? What does hell look like when we see it in the light of the holy love of God? Charles Watson invites us to explore that question in this very readable and gently provocative book. It may not answer all your questions, but it will certainly make you think!”
Philosophy
“This is the best book on Plato I’ve ever read. It is a masterclass in learning how to read Plato Platonically, which involves not simply expounding the arguments presented in the text, but interrogating them and pushing them. In all honesty, I was not expecting to agree with Crittenden’s case regarding the so-called ideal republic, but I am now well on my way to being persuaded. In brief: I am an enthusiast for this book.”
Reception Theory and Biblical Hermeneutics
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The world of biblical studies is now filled with many excellent books and articles on the reception history of various texts and motifs. However, what is usually lacking amongst biblical scholars is a clear grasp of the hermeneutical theory which underpins and justifies such studies. David Parris fills this surprising gap with a very learned, deeply stimulating, and clearly written exploration of the profoundly important hermeneutical work of Hans Robert Jauss (set against the background of his teacher Gadamer). And Parris takes us beyond the 'seemingly endless methodological foreplay' that some philosophical hermeneutics can descend into with enlightening biblical case studies illustrating the application of Jauss's theory. This text is to be warmly welcomed.”
Theology
“I am not exaggerating when I say that the first edition of this book changed my life. Its core chapters provided my despairing heart with the utterly unexpected and glorious hope that 'all will be well'--that God's victory over sin will truly be complete! This classic and compelling case for Christian universalism is now even better in this revised and expanded edition. Highly recommended!”
Theology
“I have read countless books and articles on the atonement over the years and I can say without hesitation that A New Adam is far and away the best I’ve seen. Understanding Christ’s atoning work can be very confusing, but Highfield brings light into our gloom, pointing a way forward to a viable ancient-future faith. If I had to suggest one book for thinking people to read on the atonement, it would be this one. Highly recommended!”
Theology
“This is a book about the cross like none you have ever read. Ben Pugh takes us on a fascinating, eye-opening tour of some key sights in the history of popular Christian devotion to the cross. Here we witness the development of crucicentric practices such as the Eucharist, making the sign of the cross, following stations of the cross, veneration of splinters from the cross, the cult of martyrdom, the performance of Passion plays, medieval passion mysticism, as well as the Evangelical crucicentric piety of Moravians and the Wesleys, the sanctifying cross of the holiness movement, the victorious delivering blood of Pentecostalism, and the gushing blood of Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ. This is the cross as experienced in the lived experience of ordinary believers, past and present; the cross as prayed, sung, painted, acted, meditated upon, and clung to. Highly recommended.”
The Unconditional Freeness of the Gospel
Theology
“Thomas Erskine was one of the most significant British theologians of the nineteenth century, whose pioneering work is as relevant and revolutionary today as it was in his own time. It is satisfying to have this wonderful, accessible edition of The Unconditional Freeness of the Gospel available to introduce his teaching on divine grace to a new generation.”
Preaching & Worship
“If you think theology is irrelevant to the lived life of Christian worship, think again! In this book, Kevin Navarro explains with care and clarity the powerful difference one’s thinking about Jesus and God makes to the understanding and practice of prayer and worship.”
