A Case Study in Contextualization

Evangelism & Missions

“Today in post-Christian Europe, Germany ranks at the top of those countries in need of the saving grace of the gospel. Although the soil is hard, Fred McRae skillfully draws upon his many years of field expertise and careful research to show how missions contextualization, in this spiritually and emotionally torn culture, may be used . . . to build the church not only in Germany, but in all parts of the world!”

Entertaining Angels Unaware

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is a timely, compelling, well-argued, and lucidly written book for Christians wondering how to respond to the immigration crisis. Gottschalk’s book astutely dispels, with a deeply personal touch, common ‘terrorist’ misconceptions, awakens us to see our ‘neighbors’ differently, and calls us to our welcoming responsibilities to the immigrant ‘other’ among us. Highly recommended!”

Not Weary of Well Doing

Church Leadership & Ministry

“These exegetically rigorous and globally insightful essays reflect upon the tireless challenges of living a gospel-driven, missionally focused, and Scripture-centered Christianity. The authors diligently and thoroughly apply Scripture-centered scholarship to issues of relevance for the church as the agent of God's ongoing redemptive work in the world.”

Nurturing Faith

Discipleship & Christian Education

“With ‘generous humility,’ Edie and Lamport skillfully navigate the contemporary terrain of multiculturalism, postmodernism, and Christian nominalism while guiding us toward a robust, embodied framework for learning, teaching, and ‘nurturing’ others of all ages in the faith. This is no ordinary textbook—it is thoroughly engaging, wrestling boldly with the interdependency of faith and practice for the global church. If you are looking for an up-to-date, nonsectarian, missionally focused, brilliantly presented theology of Christian education, this book is for you.”

The Making of Stanley Hauerwas

Theology

“Hunsicker's book is thoroughly academic, well researched, and clearly organized. Carefully guiding his readers through his argument, he convincingly submits that Hauerwas is thoroughly Barthian in his rejection of Protestant liberalism in the American context. He effectively highlights the pragmatism of postliberal theology vis-à-vis Hauerwas's ecclesiocentric Christology under the influence of Barth, showing his readers how Barth's theology for the church is picked up, adapted, and applied by Hauerwas. This book is a must-read for understanding how these two important theologians affect contemporary discussions in missional ecclesiology.”
