In brave, revealing, and often humorous poetry and prose,...

This presentation of Psalms 1-72 remains true to the time-honored meaning found in Scripture. It also reveals nuances that lead to deeper understandings and a greater appreciation of this meaning. It does this by allowing the poetry to be poetry, poetry used in worshiping God. It is a presentation that is both scholarly in its translation and poetic in its editing.

Theology is, for many, far more than a profession. It is an identity, a passion, a way of life. While books on the topics of theology--theology as a discipline--are countless, books on the identity of the theologian are all too rare.
How does someone reflect on the life and work of the theologian as a person? Hearing the wisdom of others who also walk the path is an excellent start.
In this helpful volume, Van der Westhuizen has assembled an outstanding...

Pop culture does more than entertain us. At its best, it is a mirror- maybe sometimes a distorted funhouse mirror- reflecting back to us beauty, absurdity, and profound truth of what it means to be human. These musicians, actors, writers, and producers often sit in the prophet's chair and offer us modern parables with deeper meanings waiting for those with ears to hear. When we watch and listen through a spiritual lens, their stories challenge our...
