History & Biography
“With striking discernment, Jack Reese offers a guide to the foibles, failures, and successes of Churches of Christ and how past baggage still weighs heavily upon these churches. But there is much hope here. With great insight and extraordinary creativity, Reese reveals surprising resources and gives practical advice for the future. Reese is an excellent communicator. I was glued to page after page. This is a helpful book for any church.”
Theology
“Ron Highfield has reflected widely and profoundly on the doctrine of God. Great Is the Lord is a remarkable work. The approach is that of a believer who prizes what he delineates as mainstream views about God from within Scripture to the present. Highfield dialogues with most of the major theologians over this time frame and provides rich bibliographies of current studies regarding their perspectives. He especially converses with process theologians and proponents of open theism. This textbook, more than any other now available, offers cogent and penetrating insights into the theological skirmishes at the beginning of the twenty-first century.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Ben Wiebe and the authors in this volume set out a new methodological paradigm for constructing the Jesus of history and the origins of Christianity. They declare that both the four Gospels and early exterior sources are to be probed in this reconstruction. Their focus is on historical and psychological methods, which from their perspective can establish substantial historical authenticity. This work should be on the book list of all pertinent courses and is a must read for those interested in contemporary, international, cutting edge perspectives on these matters.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Professor Thurén offers a new and impressive approach to understanding the Lukan parables through scrutinizing their persuasive features. He sets forth a systematic methodology by employing the work of Stephen Toulmin on argumentation. Thurén has explored in detail Lukan parable interpretation and demonstrated dramatically the new perspectives persuasion analysis brings to bear. Future parable studies must attend to Thurén’s insights.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Genade has produced a study of Titus that is unique in two ways. First, the book is wholly focused upon the rhetorical approach of Paul in his epistle to Titus. Second, Genade's method of rhetorical (persuasion) analysis is one that grows out of the text itself, not one superimposed from classical or contemporary approaches, and highlights argumentative strategies and rhetorical troops. I commend the diligent efforts invested in this work. From now on those writing on Titus will need to dialogue with Genade's conclusions.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“James Thompson is among the foremost global Hebrews scholars. The present volume centers upon word studies and motifs that have been often overlooked. Thompson offers fresh insights into hermeneutics, the merits of the better, the gist of arguments, and Hebrews’ perspectives as compared with Philo, Paul, Middle Platonism, and Clement of Alexander. Wherever Hebrews is studied in depth, mastering this monograph is mandatory.”
The Greatest Work in the World
History & Biography
“This book is a marvelous glimpse into perceptions on Christian liberal arts education in the correspondence of a young couple whose past and future weigh heavily in churches of Christ higher education. Their granddaughter, Elizabeth Parsons the editor, has indefatigably searched to establish the backgrounds for these letters and supply information on all the persons mentioned. The outcome is remarkable.”
