Announcing New Hours

The Regent College Bookstore will have new hours beginning on October 1, 2023.

Timothy Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation

Collin Hansen's biography of Timothy Keller traces the bookish pastor's spiritual and intellectual influences. This book is a biography and bibliography all in one!

Bulwarks of Unbelief: Atheism and Divine Absence in a Secular Age

A small cottage industry has emerged orbiting around Charles Taylor’s magnum opus A Secular Age. These books praise A Secular Age for its enormous breadth and perceptive insights, only to follow this up with “But…” Joseph Minich’s book is yet another to add to that genre. Bulwarks of Unbelief: Atheism and Divine Absence in a Secular Age is a dense, at times convoluted book that seeks to offer another viewpoint/perspective into how modern Western culture lost belief in God.

Tradition and Apocalypse: An Essay on the Future of Christian Belief

Tradition has been a formidable, venerable concept for many Christians with many believers holding to the “Vincentian canon” of St. Vincent of Lérins of the fourth century that holds to “what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all.” Yet Hart interrogates this very formulation.

What About the Baby?: Some Thoughts on the Art of Fiction

McDermott marvels at the ways in which good fiction and individual lines, characters, or scenes can “come back to me - unbidden sometimes,” sometimes long after we have first read them.

Wonderfully Made: A Protestant Theology of the Body

Wonderfully Made: A Protestant Theology of the Body is an accessible, concise book that offers a positive vision of the Christian body.

The Politics of the Cross: A Christian Alternative to Partisanship

Williams writes both professionally and confessionally as a believer; he continues to offer astute analysis and rigorous nuance as he delves into American history to explain the developments that led to the present, but he also draws readers’ attentions to biblical injunctions about how we should operate in today’s increasingly complex world.

EUGENE PETERSON'S PICK

Let These Stones Live: A Guidebook to the Spiritual History of Christianity

This book is a unique attempt to integrate the topography of the Holy Land not just with its archaeological sites and ancient route ways, but with its geology.

England Before and After Wesley: The Evangelical Revival and Social Reform

Amid the chaos and confusion of today’s polarized political climate, in which ideological opponents routinely caricature one another and history is often read in a manner devoid of all nuance, this republication of J. Wesley Bready’s classic work comes as a welcome development. Focusing primarily on the towering figure of John Wesley and his impact on evangelical revival and social reform in 18th century England, Bready demonstrates the inextricable link between living Christian faith and the humanizing and ameliorative social transformations of the period.

Eucharistic Participation: The Reconfiguration of Time and Space

Hans Boersma, Saint Benedict Servants of Christ Chair in Ascetical Theology at Nashotah House Theological Seminary and Research Professor of Theology at Regent College provides a concise and accessible primer on the theology of eucharistic participation. He is especially concerned with re- addressing the two issues of the Lord’s Supper as sacrifice and as real presence, which were central to the debates of the Protestant Reformation.

Books for Stirring the Soul...

I have been asked over the past months, “what are the ten most important books you have read – beyond the Bible – that have kept your soul going over the past fifty years of discipleship and ministry?”

On the Road with Saint Augustine

Not only engaging, but also well-written, and theologically faithful to the best of the Christian tradition, it is also a really important book to appear in our culture at this point in time. Augustine, Smith reminds us, is Christianity’s primary teacher on the quest for self-identity.

"The Lord's Prayer" and "The Ten Commandments"

The Lexham Press Christian Essentials Series are mercifully short (about 100 pages), and very readable. Below are my brief reflections on the two most recently published books in the series, "The Lord’s Prayer: A Guide to Praying to Our Father" by Wesley Hill, and "The Ten Commandments, A Guide to the Perfect Law of Liberty" by Peter Leithart.

Wearing Well: Exploring the Biblical imagery of Clothing

The Sermon on the Mount in Our Secular Age

Douglas Webster, professor of theology and Christian preaching at Beeson Divinity School, Samford University, offers a pastoral and theological application of the Sermon on the Mount, contextualized, as the title suggests, for our secular age.

The Preacher's Wife

From the early days of Christianity to the present, women have been instrumental in the life of the Church. St. Paul writes to his protege Timothy “I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you” (2 Tim. 1:5); Timothy’s faith was dependent upon his female family members instructing him in the ways of Jesus. From Timothy’s time to our present, women have served faithfully as mentors, "prayer warriors," missionaries, evangelists, and inspiring performers, even as they have had to contend with patriarchs who seek to limit and even silence women from speaking and teaching authoritatively.
