An Introduction to Christian Worldview

Apologetics

“It's become fashionable in some circles to downplay the importance of worldview. An Introduction to Christian Worldview counters this tendency by offering a clear apologia for the value of thoughtful worldview construction and evaluation to Christian faith. Moreover, it provides a concrete comparison of a Christian worldview to alternative models found in philosophical systems and world religions. The authors make their ideas readily accessible to readers, and it is a valuable resource for all Christians who desire a deeper understanding of the conceptual foundations of our faith.”

Faith, Reason, and Beyond Reason

Philosophy

“Religious epistemology is a notoriously thorny topic. However, Mark Boone masterfully helps us navigate the topic, drawing in important voices such as James, Kierkegaard, Kant, Augustine, Plantinga, and others. Perhaps the most important feature of this book is that it shatters the myth that religious knowledge must either be grounded in faith or reason. Instead, Boone offers a lucid vision of how both play a vital role in a robust understanding of religious truth.”

Mind Your Faith

Apologetics

“Secular universities have not only forfeited the mission of building students' wisdom, faith and character, they often work in ways contrary to these goals. David Horner offers sage advice, drawn from personal and professional experience, about how Christian students can recognize and counter these challenges and emerge from the college experience as wise Christ-followers. Parents of university-bound students should buy two copies: one for their student and one for themselves.”

Postmortem Opportunity

Theology

“Beilby does an admirable job of working through every dimension of how we should understand the fate of those who have died without hearing the saving message of Christ. This is not just a complex and interesting theological question. The answers have emotional and existential importance to those deeply concerned about the eternal status of loved ones. Beilby skillfully draws on exegetical, philosophical, and theological resources to offer his view of Postmortem Opportunity for salvation, both for the unevangelized and the pseudoevangelized. Throughout, the book offers creative alternatives while avoiding speculative conclusions, all the time insisting on the centrality of salvation in Christ.”

Pursuing Moral Faithfulness

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Books promising to unite moral theory and practice are common, but rarely make good on the pledge. This is different. Gary Tyra offers sage moral guidance that informs, but more importantly, identifies practices that transform. Pursuing Moral Faithfulness is a valuable resource for any Christian who seeks ethical integrity and wholeness.”

Thinking About God

Philosophy

“Ganssle does a masterful job of guiding readers through the fundamental philosophical questions about God. He writes with a clarity rarely found in philosophers, simplifying complex issues without descending in simplistic explanations, and does it all with a touch of humor. A great introduction to philosophy of religion.”

Walking the Theological Life

Theology

“Walking the Theological Life reminds us of the joy of theology done rightly. Drawing on the stories of several (often quite imperfect) biblical characters facing various situations, we hear the message that theology is foundational for each of us, even those of us who are quite imperfect. The theme throughout is formation—the goal of theology is not simply to shape our thoughts but to draw us toward the virtues necessary for the life of faith.”
