Timothy George
"At the Pure Fountain of Thy Word"
Apologetics
“Until recently, Andrew Fuller, arguably the most influential pastor-theologian in Baptist history, has been the victim of affectionate obscurity, often praised but little read or understood. Now here is a collection of first-rate, scholarly essays about Fuller which helps us both to place him in the context of his times and to sit at his feet as an enduring teacher of the church. A stellar example of Baptist ressourcement!”
Theology
“Matthew Emerson has given us here a major study of the historic, but too often distorted and neglected, doctrine of the descent of Jesus Christ to the dead. In doing so, he demonstrates the coinherence of biblical and historical theology and their relevance for the Christian life.”
History & Biography
“Tom Oden is one of the most remarkable Christians of our time. This is the story of how he has lived through, contributed to and helped to overthrow several revolutions during his long and fruitful life. Deeply rooted in Wesleyan spiritual traditions, Oden shows us the meaning of grace in a human life—grace that shatters in order to restore and bring joy. Those of us who know and love this great theologian will be delighted to read the story of his pilgrimage thus far. The whole church will be blessed by it.”
A History of Christian Theology
Theology
“A remarkably learned, wise, and substantial study of the history of Christian doctrine. Written by an Anglican who is also an evangelical, this volume interacts with the entire scope of Christian theology in all of its major ecclesial trajectories. This book will stand the test of time—in the best tradition of Newman, Harnack, and Pelikan.”
A Little Book for New Theologians
Theology
“For many Christians the word theology is synonymous with abstruse, irrelevant and boring. In this jewel of a book, Kelly Kapic shows that theology is really, as the Puritan William Ames said, 'the science of living in the presence of God.' This is a great primer both for new students of theology and for those well practiced in the discipline.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Authentic prayer usually comes ‘out of the depths,’ as the Psalmist says. Here is a special anthology of such real-life prayers, communications with God meant to encourage, uplift, and inspire. This is a wonderful guide for everyone who prays, and for all who wish they could.”
Theology
“This is a book with a bold agenda—to complete and extend an unfinished masterpiece by America’s greatest theologian. In these pages Jonathan Edwards comes alive in a new way, and we see how the drama of redemption informs all that he wrote—his history, theology, and exegesis. At once scholarly and edifying, this is a tour de force!”
History & Biography
“A. W. Tozer was one of the great spiritual giants of the past century, and he comes to life again in the pages of this masterful biography by Lyle Dorsett. Here we see how the jewels from Tozer's pen were refined in the crucible of his life. This is a book that will bring every Christian closer to Christ.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Over the past generation David Wells has offered a piercing analysis of the evangelical church, its seduction by consumerist, postmodern (read ultramodern) culture, and its temptation to negotiate the gospel in the interest of an ephemeral relevance. In this volume Wells is at his theological best as he extends his analysis to the central fact of Christian faith — the person and work of Jesus Christ. . . An important book for everyone who cares about the integrity of the gospel and the missional future of the church.”
History & Biography
Foreword
“Many of the issues Perry struggled with in his day have strangely become contemporary again in our time. Terrorism, ethnic cleansing, economic upheaval, the boiling pot of Middle Eastern politics, the civilizational clash between Christendom and Islam- the same ferment was stirring in the waning days of the Ottoman Empire. We cannot well understand our own times without looking closely at those of Henry Perry.”
An Explorer's Guide to John Calvin
Theology
“Calvin's theology is best understood in the context of his life, and this helpful guide introduces us to both. Calvin comes across as a faithful pastor and careful expositor of Holy Scripture, a teacher of the church who we can honor in no better way than to listen to him. Highly recommended!”
An Introduction to Biblical Ethics
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Ethics without the Bible is a matter of cultural mores. The Bible without ethics is a textual relic without life or relevance. This superb introduction to biblical ethics brings the two together through the wisdom of two noted evangelical thinkers and leaders. This book does not duck the tough issues but presents them in the light of God's unfailing revelation in Jesus Christ and the revelation of God in Holy Scripture. Highly recommended!”
Christian Living
“"Sarah Sumner is a superb Christian thinker who does theology out of the depths. In this book she explores a theme well attested in the New Testament, but little discussed today: Jesus' anger."”
Attending the Wounds on Christ’s Body
“Elizabeth Newman is one of our best spiritual writers and she works at the intersection of theology, spirituality, and Christian behavior. She attends all of these matters in this new book on St. Teresa of Avila, helping us move past the false images of Teresa to reclaim a vision for ecclesial renewal at the heart of her concern.”
History & Biography
“"Just when it seemed that denominational history was a thing of the past, there has been a revival of scholarly interest in Baptist studies. The essays in this volume represent that renaissance exploring as they do oft-neglected aspects of the Baptist past with an eye toward Baptist unity and identity today. A valuable contribution to a better understanding of the people of God called Baptists.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“There was a time when the word pastor meant something. That this term has now become so vacuous is not primarily the fault of the ambient culture but represents instead a crisis of vocation. So here we have, none too soon, a collection of stout essays calling for a new generation of shepherd-teachers—ecclesial theologians who do their work in the best tradition of the Church Fathers and the Reformers, in the light of eternity and pro Christo et ecclesia.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Here is an intelligent, articulate presentation of just-war thinking by a leading evangelical scholar. The lure of pacifism and the call to holy war have both found their champions in the Christian tradition. Daryl Charles draws on the wisdom of Niebuhr, Ramsey, Elshtain and others to present a mediating position: the sanction of force by the state as a means of justice bearing peace. An important evangelical engagement with this debate.”
Theology
“The downsized deity of open theism is a poor substitute for the real God of historic Christianity-as taught by Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox theologians through the centuries. This book offers an important analysis and critique of this sub-Christian view of God. Well researched and fairly presented.”
Theology
“There are many books on spirituality, but this one stands out because it takes in the entire range of the biblical canon. Written with scholarly depth and a practical bent, this volume is a great addition to the growing literature in the field. I highly recommend it!”
History & Biography
“This is the best book I have read on Dietrich Bonhoeffer the theological educator. Against great odds in the time of Nazi terror, Bonhoeffer forged a distinctive pattern of preparing faithful ministers of the gospel for the service of the church. Paul House argues convincingly that those engaged in the same work today have much to learn from Bonhoeffer’s model.”
