Between Cross and Resurrection

Theology

“This is the most remarkable and moving book I have ever read. Every page was written by a dying, saintly theologian who stood in the very presence of God, before whom readers too will find themselves hushed in continuous prayer and deep meditation. As we turn over each page, we are led by the late Alan Lewis on a profound and moving theological pilgrimage from the foot of the cross to the garden tomb and through the darkness of Holy Saturday to the wonderful light of Easter morning. This is a superb book of rich dogmatic and liturgical theology that will bring readers to their knees and lift them up again into the audible presence of the crucified and risen Lord Jesus and the communion of the Holy Trinity. . . Between Cross and Resurrection is a book every theological student and every minister of the gospel should study, use, and cherish”

Calvin's Doctrine of Biblical Authority

Theology

“This is a book not only for scholars and theologians, however, but for all preachers and teachers of the Gospel who have missionary and pastoral tasks to fulfill. I believe it will have a particularly valuable contribution to make to the church today in the West as well as in the East, for it directs us straight back to the authority of the word of God himself as it sounds to us through the Bible.”

Children of Promise

Theology

“This is a superb little book, convincingly argued on biblical grounds and very well presented in a clear, commendable, irenic style.”

Ethics

Theology

“It is then a work of the greatest interest showing the development of Barth through the liberal period of thought toward a more positive and theologically grounded ethic, which he later developed under the rubric of the command of God.”

Everyman Revived

Philosophy

“I have read this book with increasing delight. It is a very faithful, clear, and elegant discussion of Michael Polanyi's thoughts. It has been done in a way and in a style that makes for very easy reading and understanding, even by those who have not been familiar with the deep changes going on in science. This is a fine piece of communication to the wider public and will be widely received.”

On Being Human

Theology

“Biblically grounded, sparkling with fresh insights, this is the most perceptive and incisive work on theological anthropology to appear for a long time. No student, no pastor, no theologian, no Christian psychiatrist should be without theis book, for it will open up for them hitherto unprobed depths and offer them ways of grasping more profoundly what it really means to be a human being.”

Theology and Pastoral Counseling

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“This is a superb, beautifully written book. The work has been very well conceived in content and form and carried out with great sensitivity and clarity. Deborah van Deusen Hunsinger applies the material and method of Karl Barth's theology to pastoral counseling, in which she brings theological thinking and clinical psychological thinking into a remarkable correlation, doing so with convincing power and commanding effectiveness. . . . What a great boon it is for theological and pastoral training to have such a profound feminine mind to penetrate so intuitively, delicately, and effectively into human problems.”
