Calvin the Magistrate

History & Biography

“Bringing to bear his expertise in law and theology, George Gatgounis provides a welcome and refreshing study of John Calvin’s understanding and use of law. After viewing Calvin’s legal theory and political theory, the author shows the outworking of these in Geneva as well as surveying how Calvin’s views aligned compared with other reformers in the same theological tradition. There is much to be learned from this unique book.”

Sir Biscuit Butterworth and Other Short Stories, Poems, and Fables

Children & Youth

“As young children, an often-voiced request from many of us was ‘tell me a story.’ We never outgrow that desire. Good literature and good stories entertain and educate those who hear them or read them. Animal stories nurture the imagination and illustrate the importance of relationships and virtues. Krause’s tales from the animal world make us smile and leave readers wanting more. By so doing, in a unique way, they teach us about the world and ourselves. They are engaging and delightful!”

The Incredible Adventure of Passer the Sparrow

Fiction

“The lessons of life come by seeing and hearing as well as by doing. In Job 12:7–8, we are told to learn from the beasts, birds, bushes, and fishes of Creation. As a young boy, many times my parents would say to me as they filled birdfeeders, ‘When you are older, never forget to feed the birds.’ In many ways, Paul Krause’s story is a literary reminder of those words I have honored through the decades. It is a simple story of care, friendship, love, and respect for Creation. This is a story for readers of any age and all ages.”

The Law of the Eucharist

Theology

“Gatgounis provides readers with a clear, coherent, and concise study of one of the most significant sacramental debates of the Middle Ages. . . . Rather than a tedious study of an arcane and antiquated topic, readers are presented with an important study on the development of doctrine and the relevance of theology in every era, including our own.”

The Nexus of Governmental Integrity and the Survivability of American Constitutional Democracy

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Gatgounis studies five pillars supporting American constitutional democracy—integrity, credibility, legitimacy, tranquility, and efficiency. Readers will recall Benjamin Franklin’s legendary response when asked during the 1787 Constitutional Convention if there would be a monarchy or a republic: ‘A republic, if you can keep it.’ For Gatgounis, ‘keeping it’ entails stability of the five pillars. He argues a strong case. Rich in thought and presentation, Gatgounis’s work shows clearly that values have consequences.”

The Puritan View of Substantive Biblical Law

History & Biography

“This volume provides a much-welcomed and detailed study of Puritan jurisprudence and its foundation in Puritan exegesis and theology. The study clearly articulates the linkage between Puritan theology, Puritan spirituality, and Puritan society. More than a historical and theological study, readers will find much upon which to reflect concerning the heritage of sources, purpose, and functions of law in contemporary society. Readers across many disciplines should find helpful information within these pages.”

True Myth

Apologetics

“For many people, the names Joseph Campbell and C. S. Lewis are immediately recognizable. But popularity does not guarantee a viable philosophy or theology. As the author demonstrates, ideas have consequences. Faith is intensely personal but it must be grounded in truth. If you want to understand these two influential thinkers, start here.”
