History & Biography

“What enables some people to maintain their convictions under state threat and how do they do so in a faithful manner? With a storyteller’s gift for narrative, Richard Steele helps readers explore these questions by expertly guiding them through histories of oft-complex theological debates, political machinations, and social upheavals. The result is a book engaging both for the stories it tells and the all-too relevant questions it raises about living a life of Christian conviction.”

The Gospel According to Eve

History & Biography

“As Christians today debate and reassess the role of women in ecclesial, familial, and civic life, they need resources that provide grounding, guidance, and insight. Thankfully, they now have Amanda W. Benckhuysen's The Gospel According to Eve. Benckhuysen has recovered and brought together the voices of women who thoughtfully and faithfully wrestled with the Bible as they considered women's natures, gifts, and roles. The Gospel According to Eve does not give easy answers to our questions but uncovers a rich interpretive tradition that militates against flat, simplistic readings of biblical texts. The writers and thinkers featured in this book will be helpful interlocutors and guides for men and women alike who seek a robust, nuanced understanding about what the Bible generally and the first three chapters of Genesis specifically say about Eve and her daughters.”
