Down to Earth

Theology

“Down to Earth is a particularly insightful and original contribution to ecological theology. Floyd closely attends to the devastation with which we are threatened, but more importantly draws our attention to Christian theological sources that offer a counter-vision . . . His is an important and exciting new theological voice weighing in on a most urgent topic.”

Finding God in the Basement

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Dr. Carlier’s new book is a wonderful addition to pastoral care and systematic theology. She provides a much needed corrective to models of addiction that focus on blame by appealing to the lived experiences of addicts. She offers a fierce indictment of the way some atonement theories have exacerbated the suffering of addicts and proposes a refreshing antidote. As is often the case, the news from the “basement” makes available life-giving insight to the human condition and to theology’s role in addressing human suffering.”

Passion for Nothing

Philosophy

“Peter Kline is not only a first-rate scholar of Kierkegaard—with seemingly exhaustive knowledge of his texts and the inner workings of his thought—he is also a 'repetition,' a student, writing poignantly of his passion for the apophatic [God] and the works of love that this apophasis births. His lucid, winsome prose invites readers to enter Kierkegaard’s radical vision—while his conclusion incites readers to embrace the artistry of the self-reduced to nothing.”

Summer Sermons, Winter Thoughts

History & Biography

“Peter Hodgson’s lively summer and winter thoughts allow us to see beyond the theological texts for which he is known, into more informal and joyful aspects of his life. We get glimpses of the more occasional, often literary, theologizing of his summer sermons, hints of a long love affair with his wife Eva, the joy of sailing and travel, sobering thoughts of death, and mature reflections on theology and politics. A pleasure to read!”

The Power and Vulnerability of Love

Theology

“With this book, an important new theological voice challenges us to reconceive suffering and redemption through the lens of maternal vulnerability and resilience. Combining insights from liberation and contemplative theology, Gandolfo is relentless in her attention to the hidden corners of human pain and perhaps even more relentless in her witness to divine compassion. This is an important text for feminists and systematic theologians, as well as for Christians thirsty for hope that emerges from the depths of anguish.”

Vulnerable Communion

Theology

“Tom Reynolds has written a theologically profound and deeply moving exploration of what happens to core Christian understandings of God, of Christ, of community, and of embodiment when these are understood in light of disability. His work makes an important and bracing contribution to disability studies. It makes an equally important contribution to theology, making available an awareness of how our vulnerability opens us to each other and to the great compassion of the divine. It would be hard to come away from this beautiful book unchanged.”

When Religion Matters

Theology

“Dr. Hardison-Moody's breathtaking new book is lyrically written, even as it wrestles with the raw suffering of war as it affected Liberian women. This book expands our imagination by bringing to light the distinctiveness of the transformational work accomplished by women victimized by war. By emphasizing the powerful role of religion--as understood by women--new possibilities emerge for peace-building in the aftermath of a war that seemed to make every future impossible. Highly recommended!”
