paperbackFaith and Reason
Three Views
Spectrum Multiview Book Series
Edited by Steve Wilkens
Life confronts us with an endless stream of questions. Some are trivial. But some draw us into the deepest dimensions of human inquiry, a place where our decisions have profound implications for life and faith. Is there a God, and if so, how can I know anything about who or what God is? Is the quest for truth an elusive dream? How should I live and what should I value? What happens ...

paperbackLetters for the Church
Reading James, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, and Jude as Canon
by Darian R. Lockett
Biblical Foundations Book Awards Finalist
The Catholic Epistles often get short shrift. Tucked into a few pages near the back of our Bibles, these books are sometimes referred to as the "non-Pauline epistles" or "concluding letters," maybe getting lumped together with Hebrews and Revelation. Yet these letters, Darian Lockett argues, are treasures hidden in ...

paperbackChrysostom's Devil
Demons, the Will, and Virtue in Patristic Soteriology
New Explorations in Theology
by Samantha L. Miller
For many Christians today, the notion that demons should play a role in our faith—or that they even exist—may seem dubious. But that was certainly not the case for John Chrysostom, the "golden-tongued" early church preacher and theologian who became the bishop of Constantinople near the end of the fourth century. Indeed, references to demons and the devil permeate his rhetoric. ...

Dismantling Whiteness for a More Just Christianity
by Grace Ji-Sun Kim
Foreword by David P. GusheeWhen Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen?
Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the ...

The God of the Christian Scriptures
by John Goldingay
Imagine someone who has spent a lifetime listening deeply and attentively to the full range of Scripture's testimony. Stepping back, they now describe what they have seen and heard.

paperbackCalvinism for a Secular Age
A Twenty-First-Century Reading of Abraham Kuyper's Stone Lectures
Edited by Jessica R. Joustra and Robert J. Joustra
Abraham Kuyper, the Dutch Neo-Calvinist theologian, pastor, and politician, was well-known for having declared that there is "not a square inch" of human existence over which Jesus Christ is not its sovereign Lord. This principle is perhaps best reflected in Kuyper's writings on Calvinism originally delivered as the Stone Lectures in 1898 at Princeton Theological Seminary. These ...

The Reformation and the Bible
Wheaton Theology Conference Series
Edited by Jennifer Powell McNutt and David Lauber
Five hundred years ago, Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses caught Europe by storm and initiated the Reformation, which fundamentally transformed both the church and society. Yet by Luther's own estimation, his translation of the Bible into German was his crowning achievement. The Bible played an absolutely vital role in the lives, theology, and practice of the Protestant Reformers. In ...

paperbackFive Things Biblical Scholars Wish Theologians Knew
