Fierce Tenderness

“In theory as well as in practice, Hunt's work begs to be taken seriously and to be taken further. To look to it [merely] for one additional chapter-friendship as a new theme--to add to a course in systematic theology, will lead to disappointment. The book is far too radical and too important for that. It risks changing the grammar of the enterprise, and it may well give rise to speech that is brand new.”

For I Was Hungry and You Gave Me Food

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Wilson's social-scientific study of food distribution in the cultures and communities in which the Gospel of Matthew was written provides important insight into the economic practices of the Roman Empire. With this study, she anchors in solid analysis of core biblical traditions the ethical passion of contemporary Christian communities in the fight against world hunger.”

Surfacing

Fiction

“Trauma is a pandemic with many causes. In Surfacing, the private journey to recovery of a woman traumatized by sexual abuse morphs into the social trauma that tears apart a university community as it deals with a murder and a struggle over the limits of free speech. Through moments of relief with professor Kristin Ginelli, readers can catch their breath and be empowered to name and begin to heal from the traumas they have encountered in this hurting world.”
