    Calvinism for a Secular Age

    A Twenty-First-Century Reading of Abraham Kuyper's Stone Lectures

    Edited by Jessica R. Joustra and Robert J. Joustra

    Shepherds After My Own Heart

    Pastoral Traditions and Leadership in the Bible

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Timothy S. Laniak
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    Pentecostal Orthodoxy

    Toward an Ecumenism of the Spirit

    by Emilio Alvarez
    Foreword by John Behr

    “Can anything orthodox come from Pentecostalism?”

    This recasting of Nathaniel's familiar question from the Gospel is a fair summary of many modern Christians' assessment of the Pentecostal tradition. Yet in recent years, a growing number of Pentecostals have been turning afresh to the ancient, creedal Christian faith.

    Bishop Emilio Alvarez has himself been at the forefront ...

    Evangelical Theologies of Liberation and Justice

    Edited by Mae Elise Cannon and Andrea Smith

    For many evangelicals, liberation theology seems a distant notion. Some might think it is antithetical to evangelicalism, while others simply may be unfamiliar with the role evangelicals have played in the development of liberation theologies and their profound effect on Latin American, African American, and other global subaltern Christian communities.
