The Apostle's Challenge to the Art of Persuasion in Ancient Corinth
by Duane Litfin
"We preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God."

by Mark R. Lindsay
A Definitive Biography of the Twentieth-Century Thinker

paperbackUnceasing Kindness
A Biblical Theology of Ruth
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Peter Lau and Gregory Goswell
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThe Old Testament book of Ruth is understandably a firm favorite in the church for small-group study and preaching: a heart-warming story of loyalty and love, a satisfying tale of a journey from famine to fullness. In the academy, the book has been a testing ground for a variety of hermeneutical approaches, and many different ways of interpreting it have been put forward. However, the single interpretative ...

Recovering Jesus' Disciple-Making Method
by Gary Tyra
Pharisaism (legalism, dogmatism, separatism, judgmentalism, etc.) is alive and well and a destructive force in too many evangelical churches.

Life Together at the End of the World
by Jake Meador
Foreword by Karen Swallow PriorWhat does a Christian political witness look like in our day?
Politics ought to be defined by fidelity to the common good of all the members of society.

This wholesale rejection of the natural order is behind the dominant revolutions ...

A Multi-Denominational, Multi-Ethnic Approach
Edited by Ryan A. Brandt and John Frederick
The church is called to grow in Christ. Yet too often, it ignores the practical dimensions of the faith.
The church is one in Christ. Yet too often, it is divided by national, denominational, theological, and racial or ethnic boundaries.
The church is a global body of believers. Yet too often, it privileges a few voices and fails to recognize its own diversity.
In response, this ...
