Book Description
This critical study decodes the most cryptic and elusive patterns of Karl Barth's dialectic. Hunsinger not only offers a new and authoritative interpretation of Barth's mature theology, but also places Barth's work in relation to contemporary discussions of truth, justified belief, double agency, and religious pluralism. Through a fresh and compelling reading of Church Dogmatics, Hunsinger offers a new account of the coherence of that work as a whole.

Book Description
David was anything but perfect—lustful as a husband, weak as a father, and partial as a leader—yet he is the only one in all Scripture to be called “a man after God's own heart”. What was it in David that attracted God this much? After the historic victory with Goliath, the life of this humble shepherd boy seemingly took a downward turn. In all the series of unfortunate circumstances, God was at work, rerouting his life. Starting with a group of riff-raff, this cave dweller became the leader of an exceptional army because God wanted him to become a maverick king: In battle, he modeled invincibility. In decisions, he sought God’s mind for clarity, wisdom, and equity. In loneliness, he wrote with transparent vulnerability and quiet trust. In friendship, he was loyal to the end. In statesmanship, he portrayed integrity and humility. What an outstanding man! But what is it that distinguished David as one of God's greatest men? Come along with professor Z.T. Fomum in this down-to-earth book on Spiritual Leadership, for an in-depth study on the making of this poet, musician, courageous warrior, and shepherd of God's people—a man of passion and destiny with a God-dependent life of strength and leadership worth emulating.

Book Description
Williamson challenges churches and theologians to become aware of the inherited ideology of anti-Judaism that has distorted their teaching, even on such key matters as Jesus, the Scriptures, the church, and God, and suggests a radical, constructive alternative to the "teaching of contempt".

Book Description
Here is an eyewitness account of the drama of Christian theology in the last fifty years, written by an active participant in it, one whom many would rank as the leading Reformed theologian of our day. Among the topics Professor Berkouwer touches on in this theological reminiscence are election, the church, the Bible, the coming kingdom, faith and reason, recent Roman Catholic theology, and the theology of Karl Barth. "Perhaps my account is the result of sustained curiosity....I believe that without genuine curiosity theology will not do well. I regret every sign that theologians have lost their curiosity. It happens when we are satisfied with a small territory we have carved out for ourselves and lose our feel for new perspectives and new opportunities for enrichment. Without the tensions of curiosity there is little hope for any essential corrections in one's own insights. A complacency sets in, a feeling that the gospel has been adequately thought about and understood, and that we can restfully settle down with what has already been said. A curiosity that works itself out in passionate study and serious listening to to others promises surprises, clearer insight, and deeper understanding." -Publisher
