Church Leadership & Ministry
“The New Parish offers a vision for Christian community that honors place amidst fragmentation. This book will inspire a new generation of Christian leaders who will answer the yearnings of all of us for authentic community.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Craig Bartholomew brings his wide knowledge and insight to the question of God in the Old Testament. His training and sensibilities as both an Old Testament scholar and a philosopher are on full display here. This book, the first of four, is a big book in the best sense of the term. He considers the most important questions and utilizes the best approaches to study of the Old Testament. In my opinion, Bartholomew sets the study of God in the Old Testament on its proper foundation, which makes this essential reading for all scholars and serious students alike.”
The Old Testament in Seven Sentences
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Old Testament in Seven Sentences sounds like an impossible task, but Chris Wright makes it work beautifully, capturing the central features of the Old Testament in a way that is both rich and accessible. I'm not surprised really—Wright is one of our best, most mature thinkers about the Bible today. His book gives readers an essential and impressive orientation to the life-giving message of the Old Testament. I recommend it highly.”
The Poems and Hymns of the New Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Philip Comfort wonderfully combines his skills as poet and New Testament scholar to lead his readers to an appreciation of the rich poetry of the New Testament. He not only deepens our understanding of the aesthetic quality of the poems of the New Testament but also illuminates our interpretation of their meaning. I highly recommend this book to all serious students of the Bible.”
The Psalms as Christian Lament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Too many Christians, including ministers, ignore the crucial spiritual resources of the lament psalms. As a result, the church does not know how to pray in the midst of suffering. The Psalms as Christian Lament helps rectify this lack by careful analysis of significant psalms read in the light of the interpretation of the early church. I highly recommend this book to all who love the psalms, but I hope ministers in particular will read this book and preach on the lament psalms to the benefit of the church.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“"A rich prayer life is vital to a healthy relationship with God. He speaks to us through his Word and we speak to him through prayer. However, often we struggle with prayer. K. K. Yeo guides us through the Scriptures to help us find the words to bring our praises and petitions to God. I highly recommend this excellent work to all who want to deepen their prayer life.”
The Spiritual Danger of Donald Trump
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The dominant narrative in the public square is that the evangelical Protestant church provides unwavering support for Donald J. Trump. While this may be true, I am thankful for the witness of the editors and contributors of The Spiritual Danger of Donald Trump that this claim is far from universally true of all evangelicals and also for their crucial warning that continued support will lead to the deepening erosion of the church's witness to the world. My hope and prayer is that all Christians, whatever their present political leanings, will be open to the case made in this book.”
Theology
“The Story of Israel is an important volume on a crucial subject. While respecting the proper diversity of the different parts of the canon, the authors rightly recognize its essential coherence. The story of Israel is the story of a pattern of sin-exile-restoration. Written in a clear and engaging style, this book is a must-read for everyone interested in the message of the Bible. I particularly recommend it as a textbook for college or seminary classes.”
Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins
Science & Faith
“According to the Bible, God created everything—the cosmos, the solar system, the earth, and life itself. Many Christians wrongly believe that science undermines that belief and so they avoid, or worse, attack science. Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins is a book that looks at the best mainstream science from a Christian perspective to show that such fears are unfounded. This book, born in the classroom, is a perfect textbook for colleges and also for all Christians who are interested in the question of how the Bible and science relate.”
Understanding the Book of Amos
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Hasel, a well-established Old Testament theologian, has written an insightful and helpful analysis of the most important critical issues surrounding the book of Amos. He demonstrates depth of research and thought, as well as a readable style.”
Understanding the New Testament and the End Times, Second Edition
Theology
“Eschatology matters. It’s our future, after all. Dalrymple is a reliable guide to help us understand the biblical view of the future, and he is right and helpful as he shows us that Jesus is the heart of our future hope. I recommend this book to all who want to know what the Bible really teaches about the return of Jesus.”
Christian Living
“God made us emotional beings. We love and we hate. We rejoice and we lament. We experience guilt and shame. Sometimes, maybe often, we struggle with unwanted emotions. Groves and Smith bring their considerable wisdom as counselors and students of the Bible to bear on the subject of our emotions, helping us to understand and engage our emotions and enabling us to move closer to God.”
Christian Living
“I enthusiastically recommend this accessible, yet profound book to all who want to grow in godly wisdom.”
Women
“James’ book advocates the best kind of theology, one committed to mind and heart. Read this book to rekindle your love for theology. Written primarily to encourage women to consciously pursue theology, this book should be read by both men and women.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Written by Bill Kynes, a longtime pastor and preacher, and his son, biblical scholar Will Kynes, Wrestling with Job is filled with insight into the meaning and application of this rich biblical book that means so much to those who experience suffering—namely all of us. This book is a feast for all readers who want to understand Job and what it means for our lives, but I would highlight its importance for clergy whose congregations need to hear what Job has to say to them. Thank you, Bill and Will, for combining your skill and passion for Scripture to illuminate Job's message for us today.”
