Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell: Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry22 reviews
George F. Simmons
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2003
Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell.
It is easy to appreciate the high praise that Simmons's book receives from most reviewers, and, it is also easy to understand some reviewers' displeasure with the fast pace and brevity of the author's treatment of the curriculum. Simmons says [Preface to my copy of the 1997 hardcover edition], "I have eliminated most of the repetitious and unnecessary material often included in precalculus ...

Dennis Di Mauro
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2008
An informed and informative historical survey on the subject of abortion
The social and political controversy over abortion is not an issue that is entirely modern. Expertly researched and deftly written by Dennis DiMauro, "A Love for Life" is an informed and informative historical survey on the subject of abortion, focusing on the Judeo/Christian condemnation of the practice down through the centuries. Adamant in its pro-life message, "A Love for Life" is highly ...

Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity: An Introduction to Worldview Issues, Philosophical ... 6 reviews
David N. Entwistle
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2004
Intellectually addresses psychology and religion
I am currently in a graduate counseling program, and by far this is on my short list of favorite texbooks. Entwistle's arguement validates psychology as a science, the pursuit of truth, and the realization that psychology and Christianity do not have to be at odds with one another. Yes, this book is not an easy read, but Entwistle expertly addresses a debate that all counseling students of a ...

Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2005
An ancient breeze...
An ancient breeze is beginning to blow in unexpected places in North America. While monastic spirituality and institutions have been part of the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox communions for centuries, some North American Protestants are beginning to explore this approach to spirituality and community. Inspired by traditional monastic forms and disciplines as well as some Anabaptist traditions, ...

Kingdom Prologue: Genesis Foundations for a Covenantal Worldview5 reviews
Meredith G. Kline
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2006
One of the best books out there on Genesis
As a (starting out) seminary student, I find that there are many books out there on the subject of Genesis...from all kinds of points of views, from the strong 24-hour to theistic evolution. I myself am a literalist, in that I feel the Bible is a literal message of God to us written throughout Genesis through Revelation. But I am humble enough to admit that even I get lost in the shuffle of ...

An Ethic for Christians and Other Aliens in a Strange Land2 reviews
William Stringfellow
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2004
Has had a profound impact on my life.
This book, more than any other that I have read, has given me a "compass" for my life. For me, Stringfellow has melded a fresh interpretation of both Christianity and humanity into a compelling ethical framework for the human journey. It is not easy to read, not a fast read, but very profound in its message.

Through New Eyes4 reviews
James B. Jordan
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2000
Learning to read
For most Evangelicals the words of the Bible are not really inspired, just some principles which can be abstracted from the text. Jordan tries to get readers to really READ the Bible. He points out the things like Abrahams digging wells which most people pass over. He also points out various ways the Bible shows us a developing and changing world--from Noah, to the patriarchs, to Moses, to ...

A Compendious Syriac Dictionary (Ancient Language Resources)2 reviews
J. Payne Smith
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 1999
Highly useful
This is THE dictionary for classical Syriac texts, for both the eastern and western dialect. I used it during my studies and I very seldom run into a word I couldn't find in the dictionary. The translations are clear and concise. Contextual information is usually given to differentiate between possible translations. Verb entries are in the past tense only, which is common among scholars but not ...

FACT: Maxwell Plus Einstein!
Not only does it provide Maxwell's original work, it also includes the 1954 translation of Albert Einsteins 1931 Appreciation to Maxwell, written to celebrate 100 years since the birth of Maxwell in 1831--this one of at least three major translations of Einstien's In Appreciation of Maxwell Essay.

Madonna: Mary in the Catholic Tradition
Excellent book. Starting with the Old Testament, through the New Testament, through Patristic, medieval texts the author provides a faith-filled and reasonable account of how Mary has been viewed in the Catholic Tradition. A pleasure to read. I recommend it highly.

Excellent resource book for chaplains
As a second year CPE student I found the book to be an excellent handbook to keep on the shelves. I borrowed it from our hospital chaplain, and am hoping to find a copy to purchase. Unfortunately, it appears to be out of print.

Divine Sovereignty and Human Responsibility: Biblical Perspective in Tension 4 reviews
D. A. Carson
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2002
An intellectually honest assessment of the issues
In this book (based on his dissertation) Carson surveys the literature from the time of Moses through the apostles and into the Christian era, examining attitudes toward these two topics frequently posited against each other in Christian thought: divine sovereignty, through which God ordains what will come to pass, and humans' responsibility for what they choose to do. This survey helpfully ...

Introduction to Theological German: A Beginner's Course for Theological Students 2 reviews
J. D. Manton
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2004
Handy. Quaint. And quite charming.
Although I am just beginning the study of the German language, I have found this little volume very helpful. This is particularly the case due to the fact that I am interested in learning German in order to translate and crossreference academic works in theology and philosophy.
My weakness as a reviewer is that I have not used other grammars or other sources as of yet and, as such, I do not ...

The Structure of Biblical Authority2 reviews
Meredith G. Kline
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 1997
Unbelievably fresh insight into the Scriptures.
I read this book in 1999, and it was the best book I read that year. Kline shows the covenant structure of the Mosaic books. His contribution to the structure of cannon can not be ignored; the structure of the Torah can not be divorced from its content. One quick insight I learned from this book: The 10 Commandments were treaty documents. There were two tables because there were two copies, one ...
