Baptismal Imagery in Early Christianity

Theology

“Robin Jensen’s attention to art and architecture is an important addition to existing scholarship that focuses primarily on texts. This fresh approach to the topic is carefully researched and amply illustrated. Christians concerned with a renewal of baptismal practice today will find a rich trove of biblical stories and metaphors that inspired and informed early Christian communities.”

From This Day Forward–Rethinking the Christian Wedding

Preaching & Worship

“Kim Long’s vision of marriage as holy work invites pastors and churches to reimagine marriage as a part of the church’s mission. Her insights about Christian wedding practices, rooted in Scripture and the history of marriage, offer wise guidance to pastors in their work with couples preparing for a wedding and for married life.”

Holy Conversation

Preaching & Worship

“This is a book to be savored. By interpreting liturgy in light of the movements of lectio divina, Jonathan Linman offers a fresh approach to the dynamics of liturgy. Holy Conversation invites both those responsible for preparing for or leading worship and those yearning for a deeper spiritual experience in worship to listen and respond to the work of the Spirit and so to engage liturgy deeply and richly.”
