paperbackHoly Is the Day
Living in the Gift of the Present
by Carolyn Weber
Life pulls us in many directions, sometimes even to the point of pulling our souls apart. We know rest and reflection are necessary for a healthy life—even Jesus took time to get away from the crowds, away from the demands of everyday life, to pray, to spend time with close friends, to sleep. But when Carolyn Weber—emotionally and physically exhausted from managing her career as a college professor, ...

Reassessing the History of an Idea
by John D. Wilsey
Foreword by John FeaEver 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.

paperbackLanguage for God in Patristic Tradition
Wrestling with Biblical Anthropomorphism
by Mark Sheridan
Criticism of myth in the Bible is not a modern problem. Its roots go back to the earliest Christian theologians, and before them, to ancient Greek and Jewish thinkers. The dilemma posed by texts that ascribe human characteristics and emotions to the divine is a perennial problem, and we have much to learn from the ancient attempts to address it. Mark Sheridan provides a theological and historical ...

Even with a PhD from Fuller Seminary and her status as one of the few Asian female scholars in her discipline, Chloe Sun still considers herself as someone who operates in the margins of a dominant culture in which she often feels invisible and hidden. In her book, Conspicuous in His Absence: Studies in the Song of Songs and Esther, Chloe examines a combination of biblical texts that are rarely studied together but which share a common characteristic: God is absent in both. As she illuminates what we can learn about God through his absence, Chloe also makes it clear through her work and her words that those on the margins have much to say and offer even though they are often absent from the center of the church and the academy.

paperbackGetting the Reformation Wrong
Correcting Some Misunderstandings
by James R. Payton Jr.
Getting the Reformation wrong is a common problem. Most students of history know that Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses to the Wittenberg Church door and that John Calvin penned the Institutes of the Christian Religion. However, the Reformation did not unfold in the straightforward, monolithic fashion some may think. It was, in fact, quite a messy affair. Using the most current ...

paperbackIntelligent Design Uncensored
An Easy-to-Understand Guide to the Controversy
by William A. Dembski and Jonathan Witt
What is ID? Why is it controversial? Intelligent design is surrounded by a storm of debate. Proponents and opponents have both sought to have their voices heard above the din. Is it unscientific? Is it a danger to real Christian faith? Is it trying to smuggle God into the classroom? Controversy can create confusion rather than clarity. So here to clear things up is Bill Dembski, one of the founders ...
