Theology
“The term ‘evangelical’ is all too often defined by the gifts and liabilities of those of European heritage. Daniel Hill shows how this good news tradition is also defined and displayed by three nineteenth-century African Americans named Ruggles, Stewart, and Still. These forebears show us an evangelical faith where the good news is not merely a matter of simple facts and private piety but indeed a public faith that involves bearing one another’s burdens. Let Hill be your guide toward a better vision of a ‘good news’ faith.”
Christian Ethics and Moral Philosophy
Theology
“Christian Ethics and Moral Philosophy helps readers understand and engage a range of approaches to ethics in an inviting and accessible fashion. More than a descriptive enterprise, this book will help all who read it to grow in their capacity for moral discernment.”
Christianity and Critical Race Theory
World Religions
“Many Christians say, ‘All truth is God’s truth.’ Robert Chao Romero and Jeff Liou heartily agree and invite us to consider how critical race theory contains important truths that help us understand the complexities of racism in our society. No mere apologetic, this book models how to have both deep appreciation and thoughtful critique while also seeking deep faithfulness to God and a faithful witness to the fullness of the gospel in our world. Instead of letting the winds of hype sway us one way or another, we should walk forward with clarity, courage, and hope.”
Theology
“Creation is important for far more than debates about how the world began. Dennis Hollinger shows us how this foundational doctrine is vital for discerning how to navigate the complexities of life in the world God created. Hollinger makes a clear connection between doctrine and ethics, and his depth of study and insight will help Christians walk with conviction, wisdom, humility, and generosity.”
How to Be a Patriotic Christian
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Richard Mouw invites us to be Christian disciples whose faithfulness to God helps us learn how to love our nation as true patriots. Rather than encouraging idolatrous nationalism, Mouw urges us to be those who lovingly care for their nation by being willing to live well with others, see the good and bad in our past, and seek the God of the nations where the Lord has placed us. Read, agree, disagree, and put into practice what you find in these pages.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Those unfamiliar with T. B. Maston now have Paul Morrison to give us an insightful encounter with the theology and ethics of a brave leader who provides both an example and catalyst for our ongoing engagement on questions of race. This volume invites us to understand and utilize an approach to Christian ethics that is properly holistic and helps us think about what it means to be Christian. . . . This is a book for all Christians, not just Baptists.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In our unsettled and polarized world, it is as easy to be tempted by the solutions offered by those on the extremes as it is to put our heads in the sand. Bird and Wright remind Christians that Jesus truly is king and the hope of the world, and they encourage us toward steady faithfulness when it is easy to be swept away by the shifting winds of historical and political circumstance. Read this book, remember ‘the old story,’ and pursue public faithfulness while resting in truth.”
Theology
“Those who think of Reformed public theology as an occasional treat of Dutch origin will find themselves surprised at the depth, range, and global scope on display in this book. Kaemingk has assembled a band of contributors from different countries, backgrounds, and interests who show us that the church has much to gain from the ongoing stewardship of a tradition that invites us to practice holy worldliness.”
Relational Children's Ministry
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Amid all the stories about young people leaving the church, this book offers great encouragement for revitalizing the formation of the young.”
Struggling with Evangelicalism
“Dan Stringer offers us a helpful guide to navigating the frustrations with the evangelical movement. He understands some may be 'done' with it, but for others he invites them to join a renewal project characterized by both clear-eyed honesty and hope. Indeed, Christians of any tradition can find a helping hand offered by Stringer.”
History & Biography
“There are many ways to tell a story; Walter Strickland tells the story of the Black church through a theological lens. These scholarly and accessible volumes tell the story of the Black church by introducing us to many faithful saints, some familiar but many less well-known.

We encounter a holistic faith where we see many ways to walk faithfully in a world full of tremendous challenges. Strickland has given us a long-needed historical narrative and anthology.”

The Gospel According to Star Trek: The Original Crew
Arts & Literature
“If you thought there was little Christians could learn from Star Trek, Kevin C. Neece will show you another way into a rich theological frontier in the Star Trek universe. This book is not only helpful for seeing connections between Christian Faith and Star Trek but also a great example of faithful engagement with culture.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“By directing our attention to inner life and outward ministry, realities beneath and above the surface, and the different seasons of personal and ecclesial life, Matthew Erickson shows us the vitality and importance of the metaphor of pastor as gardener. While pastors may be the primary audience, this insightful, catalytic, and personal book will bring great benefit to all who love Christ and his church.”
