Evangelism & Missions
“Smither in Mission in the Early Church has filled an important gap in historical mission studies by surveying the vibrant mission practice of the early church. Smither's insights into the way the whole church was mobilized for mission has profound implications for us today. The sheer variety of how this mighty stream of lay witnesses bore witness to Christ is nothing short of breathtaking! It's an enjoyable and informative journey--I recommend it.”
Prophets in the Qur’ān and the Bible
World Religions
“The prophetic historiography of shared space between the Qur’ān and the Bible has been a widely discussed but seldom fully researched theme in interreligious dialogue between Muslims and Christians. This sympathetic study represents a significant step forward in this research. I heartily recommend it for all serious participants in Islamic-Christian dialogue.”
World Religions
“James has provided an invaluable resource for the church and, indeed, the larger Indian society, through his careful study of the 1956 Niyogi Committee Report. Manohar insightfully demonstrates that this nearly one-thousand-page report continues to provide the foundation and frame for modern Indian consciousness concerning such vital themes such as ‘conversion,’ ‘Christian identity,’ ‘Hindu nationalism,’ ‘the church,’ and ‘communalism.’ In short, contemporary Indian attitudes toward Christianity, coupled with the vital resurgence of the RSS and related organizations, cannot be fully understood without understanding the oversized influence of the Niyogi report on the rise of how modern-day Hindi nationalism is understood in contemporary India.”
Reluctant or Radical Revolutionaries?
History & Biography
“Bolt brings his pastoral instincts and his scholarly discipline to a complex area of the history of the Caribbean struggle for liberation. The end product is a work of balance and diligent attention to details which offers insight into the well-meaning sincerity and immense personal sacrifice of missionaries. This work is a must read and will be a valuable addition to your library.”
History & Biography
“Seeing All Things Whole is a classic offering of ‘theology as biography.’ This is far more than a biography of one of the most influential leaders in the Wesleyan world. It is a deeper journey into a biblical theology of leadership which will inspire a whole new generation of leaders to serve Christ with dedication, clarity, and holiness.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Mark Young, in The Hope of the Gospel, prophetically calls us into that liminal space which honors both the firm, historical theological roots which historically defines evangelicalism and the new contextual realities of a growing, global evangelical movement. Young courageously beckons us to look beyond the boundaries of the North American and European experiences which have shaped our movement to a more robust and biblical vision which promises to reenergize that faith ‘once for all delivered to the saints.’”
The Missionary Movement from the West
Evangelism & Missions
“The Missionary Movement from the West is vintage Walls, bringing his remarkable perspective on the ebb and flow of Christian history into this fourth collection of his priceless writings. Those of us who studied under him remember his sharing these insights in the courses we had with him. Now they are published and available to all. The insights in this volume are, in many ways, the culmination of the breathtaking career of Walls who, arguably, stands as the pioneer of what is now known as ‘global Christianity.’”
History & Biography
“Dr. Kim is an Asian scholar who is also a keen observer of the Western church. His prophetic analysis of the decline of Western Christianity may serve to stimulate a new birth of renewal and vitality in the West as the Christian faith is re-discovered as a non-Western faith. Kim's fresh perspective and historical clarity is like a loving word of admonition from a dear friend.”
Theology
“Aimee Byrd, in The Sexual Reformation, beautifully shows us the need for nothing less than a reformation in how the church understands and discusses sexuality that more fully resonates with the biblical vision. Byrd powerfully calls us to discover a deeper song whereby our embodiment as male and female resonates with the great marriage of heaven and earth made possible through the incarnation and the marriage supper of the lamb.”
Christian Living
“One of the symptoms of the contemporary malaise of the Methodist movement is a growing disconnect with the actual life and teachings of our beloved founder, John Wesley. Fred Sanders has given us a wonderful gift in this practical introduction to the life and thought of Wesley. Sanders shows us that Wesley’s thought cannot be summarized in terms of doctrinal distinctives, but is fully understood in the sanctifying winds of the Holy Spirit through the means of grace and a transformed heart. I recommend this book to all those ‘restless and Reformed’ brothers and sisters who need to understand this part of the church, as well as all those pastors and laity across the country who are longing for a guide to reintroduce Wesley to ‘the people called Methodist.’”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In When God Laughs with Us, David McKenna treats us to priceless moments of personal gaffes, awkward moments, cultural tensions and, at times, hilarious slapstick type situations which rival the Three Stooges. Whether it is being drenched in water before a speaking engagement or arriving at the pulpit of the wrong church, McKenna allows us to see that leadership can be fun when we learn to laugh at ourselves. Indeed, McKenna's humorous stories wonderfully remind us of the truth of Reinhold Niebuhr's quip that, 'Humor is the prelude to faith and laughter is the beginning of prayer.'”
Women
“Carolyn Moore, in When Women Lead, has blessed the church by giving us a remarkable and practical road map for effective ministerial leadership as a woman empowered and blessed by God. This book is stunningly honest about the obstacles but equally hopeful about the possibilities when the church empowers all for ministry. I encourage pastors and laypersons alike to read this book, which is an honest story of one woman’s journey and also points to a larger pathway which all women called by God for pastoral leadership can joyfully follow.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Cockerill brings to fresh life the often-neglected book of Hebrews. Cockerill guides the reader through a magnificent seven-week journey through the glorious heights and peaks of this cherished landscape of biblical revelation. In the process, he reveals to us anew how Christ fulfills all of the great themes of the Old Testament, such as law, sacrifice, and priesthood. I encourage Christians to engage in this amazing journey and to recapture anew the glorious identity of Jesus Christ for all time.”
