    American Exceptionalism and Civil Religion

    Reassessing the History of an Idea

    by John D. Wilsey
    Foreword by John Fea

    Ever since John Winthrop told his fellow colonists in 1630 that they were about to establish a City upon a Hill, the idea of having a special place in history has captured the American imagination. Through centuries of crises and opportunities, many have taken up this theme to inspire the nation. But others have criticized the notion because it implies a sense of superiority which can fuel racism, ...

    Christianity & Psychoanalysis

    A New Conversation

    Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books

    Edited by Earl D. Bland and Brad D. Strawn

    Unsurprisingly, given Sigmund Freud's understanding of religion, the conversation between Christianity and psychoanalysis has long been marked by mutual suspicion.

Its context of people, events and ideas ...

    Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics

    Foundations and Principles of Evangelical Biblical Interpretation

    by Graeme Goldsworthy

    While there are many books on hermeneutics, Graeme Goldsworthy's perception is that evangelical contributions often do not give sufficient attention to the vital relationship between hermeneutics and theology, both systematic and biblical. In this new paperback edition of Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics, Goldsworthy moves beyond a reiteration of the usual arguments to concentrate on the theological ...

  • The Cost of Commitment, By John White
    paperback

    The Cost of Commitment

    IVP Classics

    by John White
    Foreword by Don Everts

    "The way of the cross is a magnificent obsession with a heavenly pearl, beside which everything else in life has no value." Following Christ, says John White, is not cheap. The cost is substantial. There will be suffering and loss. But the benefits, rewards and joys that come with our commitment to him are well worth the sacrifices that must be made to answer the call to Christ. Consider the ...
