Theology
Bearing Witness What the Church Can Learn from Early Abolitionists Daniel Lee Hill Drawing on the rich legacy of three nineteenth-century abolitionists, Daniel Lee Hill constructs a compelling evangelical framework for the church’s public witness. “Required reading for anyone grappling with the church’s mission, evangelical identity, and public witness. Hill skillfully retrieves the antebellum witness of David Ruggles, Maria W. Stewart, and William Still and extends their logic into the present to spark the contemporary Christian imagination into faithful prophetic action. A must-read!”— Walter R. Strickland II, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of Swing Low: A History of Black Christianity in America “A treasure. Read this book, listen, lament, and learn . . . and then imagine what could be.” — Darrell L. Bock, Hendricks Center, Dallas Theological Seminary
Daniel Lee Hill (PhD, Wheaton College) is assistant professor of Christian theology at George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University.

The Problem and Promise of Freedom A Public Theology for the Church Steven Félix-Jäger
This book offers a public theology that challenges the church to be a holy, loving, and generous witness to a world bound by visions of self-absorbed autonomy and materialism.
“Félix-Jäger has crafted a robust theology of the responsible church, which lives out a public theology that is rooted in God’s covenant of abundance. His brilliant book is both a thesis and a manual for churches willing to be ‘respon - sible’ in today’s controversial Western societies.”— Nimi Wariboko, Boston University “Written with conceptual clarity, academic rigor, and fresh insights, this work makes a significant contribution to public theology.” —Hak Joon Lee, Fuller Theological Seminary
Steven Félix-Jäger (PhD, University of Wales) is associate professor of theology and worship, chair of the Worship and Media Department, and director of academic research at Life Pacific University.
