One World, Many Neighbors
Is there a God who calls us to a discipleship of our minds? What is the uniqueness of Christianity? Do the major non-Christian worldviews and world religions have any insights or inspiration to offer those who have chosen the Christian journey? Is God at work within the various religions drawing people to himself? Addressing provocative questions like these, Professor Perry Cotham challenges readers to re-examine long-held attitudes on life's most crucially important issues.
Everyday Christianity
Drawing insights from a long career in the two professions of full-time church pulpit ministry and various university professorships, Perry Cotham invites us to understand ancient biblical themes in a refreshingly new and relevant way. Some themes are deeply theological and biblical and others are highly practical. Dr. Cotham challenges our thinking even if readers may not agree with all his insights and conclusions.

All Things Reconciled
The modern restorative justice movement, perhaps one of the most important social movements of our time, was born in a Christian home to Christian parents, specifically to Christian peace workers striving to put their faith into action in the public arena. The first major book on the subject was written primarily for a church audience and drew deeply on biblical themes and values. But as restorative justice has moved into the mainstream of criminological thought and policy, the significance of its originating spiritual impulse has been minimized or denied, and subsequent theological scholarship has done little to probe the relevance of restorative perspectives for doctrine and discipleship. ...
Fundamental Christian Ethics
In Fundamental Christian Ethics, Daniel R. Heimbach offers clarity and hope for ethically navigating a pluralistic culture. Heimbach engages with diverse ethical issues such as abortion, sexuality, religious liberty, and racism from biblical, theological, historical, and philosophical angles. He delivers a comprehensive textbook for scholars, teachers, pastors, and laypersons to understand God’s ethical reality and to cultivate virtuous character in the people of God.
Ministerial Ethics
Provides both new and experienced pastors with tools for sharpening their personal and professional decision-making skills. Updated and expanded.
Imitating Jesus
In contrast to many studies of New Testament ethics, which treat the New Testament in general and Paul in particular, this book focuses on the person of Jesus himself. Richard Burridge maintains that imitating Jesus means following both his words -- which are very demanding ethical teachings -- and his deeds and example of being inclusive and accepting of everyone. Burridge carefully and systematically traces that combination of rigorous ethical instruction and inclusive community through the letters of Paul and the four Gospels, treating specific ethical issues pertaining to each part of Scripture. The book culminates with a chapter on apartheid as an ethical challenge to reading the New Testament; using South Africa as a contemporary case study enables Burridge to highlight and further apply his previous discussion and conclusions.
American Rhetorical Excellence
Public addresses make a differencea huge difference!

American Rhetorical Excellence is the most complete and up-to-date single volume on American rhetoric and oratory. In a readable and interesting style, Dr. Cotham explains what makes a speech great and enduring, and he dares to list and rank the top ten public addresses in American history.
