Abundantly More : The Theological Promise Of The Arts In A Reductionist Wor
$37.00Late-modern culture has been marred by reductionism, which shrinks and flattens our vision of ourselves and the world. Renowned theologian Jeremy Begbie believes that the arts by their nature push against reductionism, helping us understand and experience more deeply the infinite richness of God’s love and of the world God has made.
In this paperback edition of Abundantly More, Begbie analyzes and critiques reductionism and its effects. He shows how the arts can resist reductive impulses by opening us up to an unlimited abundance of meaning. And he demonstrates how the engagement of the arts in light of a trinitarian imagination (which itself cuts against reductionism) generates a unique way of witnessing to and sharing in the life and purposes of God.
Theologians, artists, and any who are interested in how the fields of art and theology intersect will find rich resources here and discover the crucial role the arts can play in keeping our culture open to the possibility of God.
The hardcover edition received an Award of Distinction (Arts & Culture) from The Gospel Coalition.

Christian Life
$41.99A Dogmatic Exploration of the Christian Life
What is Christian life? Although we often use this phrase, we rarely take the time to understand its theological basis. In this volume in Zondervan Academic’s New Studies in Dogmatics series, theologian Kelly M. Kapic reflects on Christian life: its foundation, its nourishment, and its goal.
Kapic contends that Christian life is, first and foremost, one that is lived in response to the love of God. But to properly frame this love, Kapic contends we need to consider divine and human agency. What we discover is that not only did the triune God first love us, but the incarnate Son also first loved God for us. And now we respond to God’s love as those who have been united to Christ and his people by the Spirit. Shaped by the community of faith, especially through corporate worship, Christians thus participate in this love of God and neighbor. What is true of the whole discipline of theology is thus reflected in Christian life: Christ is its foundation, Christ is its source of nourishment, and Christ is its goal.

Reviving The Golden Rule
$32.99The Revolutionary Power of Loving Your Neighbor
Discover the transformational power of neighbor-love in theologian and ethicist Andrew DeCort’s Reviving the Golden Rule. This thought-provoking work illuminates the revolutionary ethics of loving your neighbor, weaving together history, theology, and practical guidance. Through this in-depth historical survey of the ethics of neighbor-love, DeCort invites readers to reclaim loving their neighbor as a powerful force for justice, healing, and human flourishing.
The biblical charges to “love your neighbor as yourself” and to “do to others as you would have them do to you” are at the heart of Abrahamic faith. DeCort argues that they are also at the heart of some of the most groundbreaking developments in human rights and the common good. Jesus taught neighbor-love and promised, “Do this and you will flourish.”
But Christians today are at high risk of ignoring or overthrowing the most daring teaching of Jesus’ movement. Having heard it repeatedly and having benefited immensely from its cultural effects, we have become dulled to neighbor-love’s revolutionary power.
In response, Reviving the Golden Rule:
*Explores the ethics of neighbor-love from the ancient world to modern times.
*Examines how neighbor-love challenges the oppressive power of “othering” and expands human connection.
*Highlights inspiring figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Mother Teresa, and Oscar Romero, who practiced neighbor-love among marginalized communities.
*Addresses instances where Christians have failed to uphold neighbor-love.
*Provides practical guidance on how to love and embrace “othered” neighbors today.
In one of the only historical and constructive works on the ethics of neighbor-love, DeCort invites us to reclaim this ancient movement. Get your copy today and learn to embody this revolutionary practice amidst crises for the healing of the world.

Story Of The Trinity
$66.65One God. Three Persons. But how?
– Discover the incredible true story of how Christians came to understand the doctrine of the Trinity
– Understand the Nicene Creed as a beautiful and balanced confession of our faith
– From a dynamic writer and respected professor
Christians believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God in three persons. Yet many would be hard-pressed to explain why they believe this, or even where it might be found in Scripture. In engaging, accessible prose, The Story of the Trinity relates the settings, characters, and conflicts that led to the Council of Nicaea and the creation of the Nicene Creed, a simple yet beautiful statement of faith that expresses core Christian beliefs that continue to be affirmed worldwide.
Rather than getting bogged down in dry semantics, Bryan M. Litfin recounts the dynamic story of how the one God revealed himself as triune in both the Old and New Testaments, unfolding this core doctrine of the church so that it not only makes sense, but brings glory to God and expresses the true nature of the gospel.

God Of The Oppressed 50th Anniversary Edition (Anniversary)
$28.00God of the Oppressed, first published in 1975, remains a landmark in the development of Black Theology–the first effort to present a systematic theology drawing fully on the resources of African-American religion and culture. Responding to the criticism that his previous books drew too heavily on Euro-American definitions of theology, James Cone went back to his experience of the Black church in Bearden, Arkansas, the tradition of the Spirituals and Black folklore, and the Black history of struggle and survival, to construct a new approach to the gospel.
In his reflections on God, Jesus, suffering, and liberation, Cone relates the gospel message to the exper8ience of the Black community. But a wider theme of the book is the role that social and historical context plays in framing the questions we address to God, as well as the mode of the answers provided. This fiftieth anniversary edition includes a foreword by Anthony Reddie, reflecting on the historical and global significance of this work and its message today.

Contesting The Body Of Christ
$83.31The church changed tremendously in the twentieth century, with new churches emerging and old churches being renewed. This period encompassed the birth of the World Council of Churches, the rise of American evangelicalism, the Second Vatican Council, the coming of age of charismatic Christianity, and more.
In this book, Myles Werntz explores the landscape of twentieth-century ecclesiology and shows how the four marks of the church were remade, contested, and reaffirmed in surprising and innovative ways in the course of this turbulent century.
Werntz asks what it means to say that the church is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic amid so many diverse alternatives. He explains how the many dynamics of the twentieth century posed both theological and ethical challenges for confessing the marks of the church but also what promise comes from expanding our vision of how God might be at work across traditions. Werntz shows that the four marks of the church can help us see what the last century brought and what we might learn from it now. He also provides guidance for the future of the twenty-first century church. The book includes a foreword from Ephraim Radner.
