In Quest of the Historical Adam A Biblical and Scientific Exploration William Lane Craig Was Adam a real historical person? And if so, who was he and when did he live? “This volume covers an amazing amount of territory in both biblical and scientific studies relevant to the question of the historical Adam and Eve. The author’s wide reading, amazing erudition, and carefully articulated judgment shine through.” — RICHARD E. AVERBECK
professor of Old Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“Many fear that it is only by compromising our core commitments that space is made for evolutionary science. This book demonstrates, to the contrary, an account of human origins that makes space for evolution without capitulating to a science-only view of the world. Craig shows us not only that constructive dialogue between theology and science is possible, but also that theological questions can sharpen our understanding of science.” — S. JOSHUA SWAMIDASS
associate professor of laboratory and genomic medicine at Washington University in St. Louis
“William Lane Craig combines thorough research and judicious weighing of the arguments to show that the biblical picture of human origins, rightly understood, can match very well with the best results of the sciences—again, rightly understood. He holds all of these disparate disciplines accountable to the requirements of sound reasoning.”
— C. JOHN COLLINS
professor of Old Testament at Covenant Theological Seminary

Jesus the Spirit Baptizer Christology in Light of Pentecost Frank D. Macchia “Frank Macchia understands the outpouring of the life-giving Spirit as the fulfillment of Christ’s life and mission. And so he rightly interprets the birth, passion, and resurrection of Christ from the perspective of Pentecost. . . . I am grateful for this book.” — JÜRGEN MOLTMANN
author of The Way of Jesus Christ and The Spirit of Life
“In this readable and delightful essay on Christology, Frank Macchia contributes his own blossom to the flowering of Pentecostal systematic theology in our time. Ecumenical and grounded in Pentecost, this Christology is at once biblical and academic, creative and traditional. Macchia’s salutary critical dialogue with Pannenberg and Barth only serves to deepen his analysis and extend his own creative revisions.”
A Companion to the Theology of John Webster
Michael Allen and R. David Nelson, editors Foreword by Kevin J. Vanhoozer
An overview and analysis of John Webster’s seminal contributions to Christian theology “John Webster was probably the most creative and intellectually rigorous Protestant theologian in the English-speaking world in the last few decades, and his tragically early death robbed us of a uniquely joyful, insightful, and nourishing perspective on Christian revelation. This first-class collection of essays shows how his prolifically diverse writings converge toward a truly comprehensive and magisterial theological vision of apostolic faith for our generation.” — ROWAN WILLIAMS
104th Archbishop of Canterbury
— ALAN G. PADGETT
Luther Seminary
“A truly inspiring Christology by leading Pentecostal theologian Frank Macchia, who argues that Pentecost is the culminating event of Christ’s identity and mission. Macchia unfolds a Spirit-Christology that sheds new light on the saving and ennobling work of Jesus Christ and on the creativity of the triune God. This Christology provides rich nourishment for theological thought and Christian faith.”
— MICHAEL WELKER
University of Heidelberg
“Frank Macchia has long been at the vanguard of Pentecostal theology as it has engaged the historic Christian theological tradition. This Pentecostal Christology of his reconfigures the entire theological landscape!” — AMOS YONG
“This volume is a labor of love that honors the rich legacy of John Webster’s theology and points towards ways to further it. Those who already know his work will find much of value here, and those who are new to Webster will find an outstanding introduction to the breadth and development of his thought.” — SUZANNE McDONALD
