Thriving in Babylon

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Chip Conyers was a remarkable Christian scholar, one who combined an intense desire for God with an unbounded love of learning. Like a meteor against the night, he illuminated the world around him and showed the church a more faithful way to follow Christ. The essays presented here give a sense of Conyers' breadth and wisdom and his courage to engage the culture for Christ's sake. This is a worthy tribute to one of the most generous, insightful, and humane theologians I have known."”

To the Ends of the Earth

Theology

“This book traces the story of evangelical Calvinism through several important episodes in the history of Reformed Protestantism. Long before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, Christians, informed by Calvin’s missional theology, were planting churches and preaching the gospel in the country we now know as Brazil. This story has long been forgotten, suppressed, and even distorted by those who should have known better. I welcome this well-researched book, which sets the record straight.”

Tongues of Fire

Theology

“I first met Frank Macchia when we were both research scholars living in Switzerland. Even then he was both brilliant and conscientious, a deep thinker and a gracious conversation partner. Here we have the mature fruits of his seminal theological work which has led to his recognition as one of our leading Pentecostal scholars. This is a magisterial study, deeply rooted in Pentecostal thought but meant for the whole church—at once evangelical and ecumenical.”

Towards Baptist Catholicity

Theology

“This is the best book I have read connecting ecclesiology, ecumenism, and the Baptist tradition with the gospel imperative for Christian unity. Steven Harmon's proposal for a Baptist version of the Oxford Movement has revolutionary possibilities, in the Copernican sense of the word, and deserves to be taken seriously. Well researched and well argued -- a work of scholarly acumen and theological verve.”

Truth Aflame

Theology

“Larry Hart's Truth Aflame brings together charismatic renewal and classic evangelical faith better than anything I have read. An important contribution to the contemporary renaissance in systematic theology!”

Turning Points

World Religions

“Twenty-five years after it first appeared, Turning Points is a classic study of the church’s story, and all the more useful now in this revised and attractive new edition. The narrative force of each chapter brims with gratitude, humility, and imagination. A wonderful book to read—and recommend!”

Two Kingdoms and Two Cities

Theology

“This is a groundbreaking study, conversant with the traditions of Augustine and Luther but also providing a reliable guide to contemporary options in Christian political theology. A sustained argument that illumines as it informs.”

What Christians Ought to Believe, Second Edition

Theology

“The Apostles’ Creed is chiseled in stone in the chapel of Beeson Divinity School, and every candidate for admission is asked to write an essay on it. Thank you, Michael Bird, for a fresh exposition of this classic expression of our Christian faith. Thank you for reminding us of what too many Protestants, evangelicals no less than liberals, have forgotten: creeds matter!”

Which “Real” Jesus?

Apologetics

“Steve Bateman is a superb preacher and an engaging writer. In this volume he brings together important issues of American history, public theology, and evangelical identity. 'What Think Ye of Christ?' is still the most urgent question we can ask today. This book helps us to listen well to that question and the answer given to it in the biblical Gospel.”

Who Is Jesus?

Theology

“This book does two things at once. It credibly places Jesus in the context of his own times, and shows why he cannot responsibly be left there. It is for those who have never thought about Jesus as well as those who think they know him all too well.”

Why Church History Matters

History & Biography

“Church history is the most important subject in the theological curriculum. I say this not only because I am a church historian but simply because it is true. Without a good grasp of the history of God's people through the ages one cannot understand the Bible, doctrine, ethics, ecumenism, spiritual formation or any other topic related to the life of faith. Robert Rea has given us here a readable and compelling statement of why that is so. This is a great primer for the study of Christian history in all of its multicolored meanings and forms.”

Worshiping with the Reformers

History & Biography

“A masterful overview of worship traditions in the Reformation. Drawing richly on primary sources, Karin Maag presents a coherent account of liturgical life from mainline Protestant, Anabaptist, and Catholic churches. Highly recommended!”
