Courting Chaos

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The ecological crisis is the great issue of our time, and our generation will be judged by the effectiveness of our response. In this significant book, Durrant draws on deeps wells of spirituality, experience of practical engagement, artwork, and poetry, all in conversation with the prophecies of Jeremiah, to craft an insightful and thought-provoking contribution to our thinking and our praying. We are being weighed in the balances. If we take Kevin’s thought seriously, we may not be found wanting.”

Heavenly Imagery and Symbolism in Matthew’s Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This wonderful book helps us to see a familiar text with fresh eyes. It shows how heaven plays a vital role in Matthew’s story of Jesus and that his confrontation with the High Priest is about which of them has truly entered the divine realm and so bears legitimate authority. The insights found here deserve to be widely read.”

Jesus and Myth

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a significant book. It is not often that an idea comes along that helps you to read familiar texts in a new way, but Peter Barber’s work does just that. His careful engagement with the thought of René Girard and Bruce Malina has resulted in an original and creative discussion contrasting the patterns and structures found in the canonical Gospels with those found in myths. The outcome not only makes a significant contribution to the way we study the Bible but also has considerable apologetic potential.”

Science & Faith

“Dutch has written a timely, significant book. His work helps us to think through the role that nuclear power might play in solving our energy crisis. As a nuclear scientist and theologian, Rob is the right person to guide us through the difficult ecological, economic, and theological issues. His book is an important and accessible contribution . . . it will help the church respond responsibly and helpfully to a controversy that affects us all.”

The Maker’s Mark

Christian Living

“Andy has drawn on his extensive experience as a disciple and a pastor to address one of the pressing issues of our time: How can we live authentic lives of genuine integrity? His answer is that we need to be formed as Christian people so that our lives manifest the fruits of the Spirit which are seen so clearly in the life of Jesus. Each chapter offers helpful illustrations and stories, thoughtful comments on the Gospels, insights from the rest of Scripture, practical suggestions for how we might cooperate with God so he might cultivate each virtue in our lives, and questions for further reflection. The result is a tremendous resource to enable personal transformation so that our lives are imbued with God’s grace, love, and purpose.”
