History & Biography
“A book of profound compassion, depth, and wisdom from one of the greatest Christian minds of our time.”
History & Biography
Foreword
“Henry Chadwick represented for countless people the essence of a particular kind of Anglican identity—learned, irenic, but not bland. . . . My hope is that this book will make him better known to a new generation of students of early Christianity and of the endlessly fascinating thinking of Augustine and others. Chadwick remains one of those giants onto whose shoulders we lesser mortals of the scholarly world scramble to get a view.”
Holy Communion in Contagious Times
Preaching & Worship
“No one will finish reading this book without a deeply enhanced sense of the meaning of the eucharist. Painstaking and impressively well-documented and researched, it will be an invaluable resource, stimulating much debate and reflection.”
Preaching & Worship
“A good sermon makes you want to start (at last) being a Christian. Horton Davies' addresses emphatically achieve this: they are intellectually serious and personally honest, grounded in the central truths of historic faith, moving and exhilarating. Every preacher will learn from them--not least, will learn to want to be a Christian.”
World Religions
“Written by an exceptional scholar and interpreter of the Jewish world who is an equally exceptional advocate and practitioner of interfaith dialogue and shared action, this book is a profound, visionary, generous, and exhilarating vision of Jewish tradition and identity, grounded in the authority of learning and personal immersion in the encounter with the divine.”
Theology
“No other book I know in English does what this superb volume does in presenting with absolute clarity the full classical doctrine of the universal church on the person and work of Christ, bringing together biblical, patristic and Reformation perspectives in a rich harmony. And, as those who heard these lectures for themselves testify, the effect of this exposition is a deepened love of the incarnate Son and thanksgiving for his inexpressible gift. This book is a wonderful legacy from one of the very greatest of English-language systematic theologians.”
Journals of Brother Roger of Taizé
History & Biography
“Very few people in a generation manage to change the whole climate of a religious culture; but Brother Roger did just this. . . . He changed the image of Christianity itself for countless young people. . . . His authority was authentically monastic—the authority of a father and elder brother in God who drew his vision from patient waiting on the Lord in prayer, and from the work and study and discernment of a committed community.”
History & Biography
“Stephen Backhouse has given us a wonderfully lively and sympathetic portrait of one of the greatest minds of the nineteenth century, sparing us nothing of Kierkegaard’s abrasive, contrarian personality, but also illuminating the extraordinary courage and spiritual depth of the man. We have waited a long time for such an accessible introduction, growing out of deep study of the abundant original sources and bringing them alive with a light and sure touch.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In a religious climate where language about leadership is often regarded as basically a matter of secular managerial intrusion into theology, it is wonderful to have a book like this that roots our thinking about the calling of the Christian leader in the wisdom of the early church. This learned, readable, and very timely book deserves a very warm welcome.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Lewis at his very best is sane, openhearted, eloquent and surprising, articulately expounding a set of traditional resources for dealing with spiritual struggle while managing to convey a sense of freshness and delight in discovery. This collection will be a mine of solid insight for many. And it may even prompt us to wonder what we are losing in forgetting the art of letter-writing.”
Christian Living
“Rule number one in sharing the Christian faith with young people: don’t patronise. Assume they are morally serious and intellectually curious; that they are in search of a structure that will carry the weight of their anxieties, passions, and imaginative energy. And if you start from that sort of point, the book you might well want to put into their hands is something very like this one—clear, respectful, challenging, candid, gracious.”
“This is a really unusual book in its range of reference, its depth of analysis, and its careful nuance of argument. Discussing thinkers from Irenaeus to Thomas Merton and Charles Taylor, James Lawson shows how Christian integrity says both yes and no to the world as it is—and how it requires us to be discerning about what exactly is being affirmed or denied at any point. A model of clear and profound exploration.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
Foreword
“This is a work of outstanding originality, a hugely fresh and far-reaching essay on Christian community. . . . Craig Gardiner is someone who will make a serious mark as a theologian of an unusual kind—someone with ample scholarly credentials but able to speak directly into the most pressing concerns of the contemporary church and its ambient society. It is an exhilarating study, whose richness will serve the sharing of the gospel and the vision of the Kingdom in all kinds of ways.”
Theology
“Gillian Rose’s stature grows with every year that passes. Her probing of the fundamental recognitions and misrecognitions of each other’s humanity that are bound up in living under law is the sort of intellectual goad we desperately need in a global political culture rapidly slipping back to tribalism. This excellent collection of studies shows what a resource her thought can be in such a context.”
Theology
Foreword
“Dowd’s own experience of loss and his own distinctive journey of calling and discovery are woven into a really compelling narrative. This is a book of great and transparent humanity.”
Christian Living
“Alister McGrath invariably combines enormous scholarship with an accessible and engaging style.”
Notes from the House of the Dead
Fiction
“As usual, Boris Jakim offers a fluent and accessible translation, giving us a new opportunity to encounter one of Dostoevsky's most seminal works. So much of the vision and insight of the great novels has its roots here in his nightmare experience in the Siberian penal camps, and here we have a first-class new rendering of this unique chronicle.”
