The Shining Human Creature
Christian Ethics, Vol. 1
BY THOMAS TRAHERNE, MODERNIZED BY COLIN REDEMER | $14.95 $10.95 (Pre-order discount) | XXII + 96 PAGES | PAPERBACK
What does it mean for man to live as one restored in Christ? Into this conversation comes Thomas Traherne—clergyman, poet, and mystic—to cast a vision of the “shining human creature,” in a new modernization by Colin Redemer.
Begotten Or Made? A New Edition for the 21st Century
BY OLIVER O’DONOVAN | $23.95 | 160 Pages
How is it that we have so lost sight of the meaning of the human person that our very biological sex is seen as just another medical problem to be solved by technique? In a society that has rejected all moral norms, that refuses to honor God as Creator, what hope do we have of stemming the tide of scientific intervention into even the most sacred dimensions of our humanity? In this prescient volume, originally published in 1984, the eminent theological ethicist Oliver O’Donovan offers a penetrating analysis of our confusion over human nature and the proper boundaries of medical science.
Protestant Social Teaching: An Introduction
WITH ESSAYS BY ALASTAIR ROBERTS, MATTHEW LEE ANDERSON & More | $26.95 | 270 Pages
For the first time, we are planting a flag for “Protestant social teaching,” a coherent, catholic, biblical set of convictions about what it means to love one’s neighbor in both personal and political life. The essays in this volume span the breadth of human life, from birth to death, from work to welfare, while providing a clear moral compass on hot-button issues like abortion, just war, and environmental care. This volume brings together contributions from a dozen authors who have deeply studied these diverse moral issues from a classical Protestant standpoint, distilling their biblical and historical insights into short, accessible chapters that can guide the reflections of every pastor or Christian leader.
