Creation and Ecology

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Ron Simkins has integrated his interests in political economy and creation. Simkins presents a compelling case that careful reflection on biblical texts can inspire better approaches to the current environmental crisis. Scholars will find the content both sophisticated and engaged with ongoing research. Lay readers will find the arguments as cogent and accessible. This work will reward all readers with enriched understandings on creation and ecology during a most crucial time.”

Economics and Empire in the Ancient Near East

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The opening dedication to Norman Gottwald is appropriate as this volume is an outstanding tribute to his own intellectual legacy, as taken up by each contributor. Collectively, these articles present a balanced and diverse perspective on the phenomenon of empire as a totalizing force in the ancient world.”

Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible bridges the gap between cultural-historical context and theological reflection, showing how ancient Israel’s everyday life shaped its theology—and how that theology can still shape modern faith. Backfish and Shafer-Elliott offer a work that is academically credible yet highly accessible. It is spiritually formative, blending thoughtful scholarship, engaging writing, and modern illustrations to bring the ancient world and its theological insights to life.”

Re-Reading the Prophets through Corporate Globalization

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Matthew Coomber presents a stunning work, which is both thoroughly researched, and theoretically informed. He successfully connects the message of the biblical prophets to modern economic crises. Coomber shows us that these prophets still have something to say to us all.”

Social and Economic Life in Second Temple Judea

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Social and Economic Life in Second Temple Judea serves as a major advance for the study of biblical economies. With a broad knowledge of early Judaism, Professor Adams deftly works through biblical and extrabiblical texts to present a balanced portrayal of the social currents of the Second Temple period. Beginning students will find this book accessible and engaging, while scholars will appreciate its thorough research and nuanced discussion.”

The Jesus Quotient

Church Leadership & Ministry

“By drawing on the encounters of Jesus, Dr. Harrop challenges church leaders to better connect with their congregants in holistic and culturally-relevant ways.”

Thinking Teaching

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Thinking Teaching is readable, practical, and deeply wise. Drawing on her years at the Wabash Center and her lived classroom experience, Professor Westfield shares generalizable teaching wisdom in short, evocative essays that can be read in any order. Her attention to context, especially how race, gender, and class shape classroom life, makes this essential for religious educators.”
