paperbackImprovising Church
Scripture as the Source of Harmony, Rhythm, and Soul
by Mark Glanville
Plenty of books diagnose our post-Christian malaise. Here's a dynamic solution.
The post-Christian cultural turn is creating the conditions for a crisis of confidence in the church and in pastoral ministry. While such changes can be disruptive and disconcerting, our new cultural reality makes the present moment a uniquely exciting time to reimagine churches that bear witness ...

paperbackRenewing Moral Theology
Christian Ethics as Action, Character and Grace
by Daniel A. Westberg
While ethical issues are being raised with new urgency, Christians are increasingly unfamiliar with the moral grammar of their faith. The need to reengage the deep-down things of the Christian moral tradition has seldom been more urgent. Moral theology has a long history in the Catholic and Anglican traditions. The tradition of theological ethics, influenced by Aristotle by way of Aquinas, offers ...

New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Eric Ortlund
Series edited by D. A. CarsonBiblical Foundations Book Awards Finalist
One of the most challenging passages in the Old Testament book of Job comes in the Lord's second speech (40–41).

paperbackSpiritual Rhythms for the Enneagram
A Handbook for Harmony and Transformation
by Adele Ahlberg Calhoun, Doug Calhoun, Clare Loughrige, and Scott Loughrige
Foreword by Jerome WagnerThe Enneagram opens a remarkable window into the truth about us, enabling us to see how image, wounds, lies, triggers, and default responses shape us every bit as much as our faith. But simply diagnosing our number doesn't do justice to who we are. Nor does it necessarily change us or our relationships. Transformation happens as we grow in awareness and learn how to engage and reflect God's image. ...

paperbackExplorations in Asian Christianity
History, Theology, and Mission
Missiological Engagements
by Scott W. Sunquist
Asia is the birthplace of Christianity. If Christianity is not usually seen as an Asian religion, that is because the history of Christianity in Asia has long been a difficult one. Whereas Christianity in the West received royal support, Asian Christianity has led a more nomadic and exilic existence. Today it is the least Christianized region of the world.
Scott W. Sunquist is a recognized ...

Volume 7
Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Craig A. Blaising and Carmen S. Hardin
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe Psalms have long served a vital role in the individual and corporate lives of Christians, expressing the full range of human emotions, including some that we are ashamed to admit. The Psalms reverberate with joy, groan in pain, whimper with sadness, grumble in disappointment, and rage with anger. The church fathers employed the Psalms widely. In liturgy they used them both ...
