A Christian Peace Experiment

History & Biography

“Christians from many traditions have been learning from the Anabaptists in recent years. The Bruderhof communities embody a distinctive and enduring witness to principles and practices inspired by the Anabaptist vision. Ian Randall’s detailed study tells the story of the Bruderhof in a crucial early phase of their life in England, inviting us to learn from their faithfulness in the midst of struggles.”

Power and the Powers

Evangelism & Missions

“A cross-disciplinary study that effectively interweaves biblical, historical, theological, and cultural perspectives, this well-researched and carefully nuanced exploration of various dimensions of power offers helpful pastoral counsel and important missional challenges.”

Sympathy for Jonah

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Identifying the empire--not the big fish--as the real beast in the book, this powerful and poetic re-telling of the Jonah story brings a familiar tale to life in fresh ways, and invites readers to face the challenge of engaging creatively and vulnerably with the powers that be.”

Unmasking the Angel

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Unmasking the Angel is inspired by the theological writings of Walter Wink, but draws on detailed research into the history of selected English Baptist churches and engagement with various theologians, historians, philosophers, sociologists, and representatives of other disciplines. The result is an intriguing exploration of the corporate personality of congregations and how this both shapes them and can be shaped by them.”
