To See a World in a Grain of Sand

Science & Faith

“Loyd Fueston may be our Spinoza. Reading widely and thinking deeply he initiates a theological engagement with science that opens us to new visions of reality. Hopefully this book will not be overlooked by those who think only university professors can think.”

Toward a Generous Orthodoxy

Theology

“Jason Springs' Toward a Generous Orthodoxy is quite simply the best available account of Hans Frei's work. But this book is more than just an account of Frei; it makes a constructive contribution to theology that is truly remarkable. I am particularly struck by his observation that Wittgenstein helps us see why we should never abandon the presumption that theological language helps us understand the way things are. This is really a terrific book.”

Walking Between the Times

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Walking Between the Times rescues Paul from his 'Lutheran captivity' by emphasizing his eschatology as his frame of ethical reflection. Sampley's work is one more notable contribution to our reclaiming of Paul for helping Christians to live 'between the times.'”

We the People

Theology

“In this refreshingly serious book, New Testament scholar and theologian Tommy Givens emancipates the usurped rallying cry ‘we the people’ from its ecclesially and nationally institutionalized violence to an innovative mode of discursive power by emplotting peoplehood internal to God’s gratuitous election of Israel. Givens has marshaled a startling array of sources, faculties, and commitments toward a relentlessly perspicacious review of theopolitics that is first frightening and then emboldening." —Jonathan Tran Baylor University “It’s all about peoplehood: understanding Israel and the Church as people (Yoder), understanding Israel’s peoplehood as divine election, alone (Barth), understanding the violent modern state as the bad fruit of humanity’s reassigning the work of election to itself (Givens on Balibar), and showing us what it would mean for both the Church and modern theo-politics to rediscover the meaning of God’s electing Israel as people (Givens). An utterly brilliant approach to re-reading Yoder and Barth (and Paul and Jesus) on Jewish and Christian peoplehood and, in the process, diagnosing what is wrong with modern accounts of ‘We the People’ (American accounts as well).” —Peter Ochs University of Virginia "We the People is a dangerous title tempting the reader to think they know the ‘we’ before reading this extraordinary book. However, through the argument Givens develops, we come to a chastened understanding of the ‘we.’ He does so by giving us fresh eyes to see how the ‘we’ that refers to the American ‘we’ can make us less than God’s people. This is a demanding but very important book.”

Welcome as a Way of Life

Theology

“Wall's Welcome as a Way of Life is a welcome addition to the growing realization that Jean Vanier and his friends have a lot to teach us about the Lord.”

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“This book is a gift to anyone who has been touched by the darkness of bi-polar illness. Colwell's willingness to write honestly about his illness will be an aid for those struggling with the condition, but even more important is his use of the psalms and attention to Jesus' way of dereliction to locate how such illness is not "pointless". This is a book that needed to be written. But only someone like John Colwell could write it.”
