Global Theology in Evangelical Perspective
Jeffrey P. Greenman and Gene L. Green edit this collection of essays from the proceedings of the 2011 Wheaton Theology Conference. The essays explore the past, present and future shape of biblical interpretation and theological engagement in the Majority World.

Offer Yourselves to God
Renowned New Testament scholar Gordon Fee explores the meaning of Christian witness and service in every area of life.

His careful examination of the context and message of Paul's letters sheds light on how a Christian identity is lived out in home, workplace, and church.
Grace, Gratitude, and Giving: Biblical Reflections on Christian Philanthropy
In Grace, Gratitude, and Giving, six ambassadors of Regent College attempt to deepen the conversation among Christians about our relationship to money and the idea of giving some of it away--a subject usually considered awkward at best, and perhaps even off-limits in many church circles. It is intended to assist Christian lay people and pastors alike to gain some valuable glimpses into the Bible's way of thinking about money, possessions, and generosity. Aimed at stimulating our thinking about the foundational beliefs underpinning the practices of Christian philanthropy, Grace, Gratitude, and Giving ultimately hopes that, as an expression of Regent's core mission, it might be used by God "to...
Understanding Jacques Ellul
Jacques Ellul (1912-1994) was one of the world's last great polymaths and one of the most important Christian thinkers of his time, engaging the world with a simplicity, sincerity, courage, and passion that few have matched. However, Ellul is an often misunderstood thinker. As more than fifty books and over one thousand articles bear his name, embarking on a study of Ellul's thought can be daunting. This book provides an introduction to Ellul's life and work, analysing and assessing his thought across the most important themes of his scholarship. Readers will see that his remarkably broad field of vision, clarity of focus, and boldly prophetic voice make his work worth reading and considering, rereading and discussing.
Reading Romans through the Centuries
What does it mean to be saved? Did God choose who would be his followers, or was it a personal choice? These are just some of the questions Paul addresses in the sixteen challenging chapters of his letter to the Romans. Reading Romans shows how some of the greatest minds in the history of the church have wrestled with, and even been changed by, Paul's words. For example, God used a passage from Romans to speak to the untamed heart of Augustine, and John Wesley said that after hearing Martin Luther's comments on Romans, he felt his heart "strangely warmed." This book will show why, in many ways, Christian theology begins and ends with Romans.

Greenman bring together select essays from the 2007 Wheaton Theology Conference, Ancient Faith for the Church's Future demonstrates the vitality and significance of the early church for contemporary Christian witness and practice.

Unwearied Praises
Since the earliest beginnings of the Christian Church, believers have gathered to worship God--Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They have expressed their faith by singing "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in their hearts to God" (Colossians 3:16). One of the best ways to learn about and enter into what Christians believe is to sing the classic, well-known, deeply-loved hymns of our tradition. In Unwearied Praises, readers are invited to reflect upon the experience of classic hymns as a doorway into the historic beliefs and spiritual insights that have defined Christianity for centuries. Each chapter includes Scripture references and questions for reflection, making this an excell...
