Why We Pray Understanding Prayer in the Context of Cosmic Conflict John C. Peckham This accessible and carefully argued book wrestles with the perennial problem of petitionary prayer by placing it within the larger context of the Bible’s cosmic conflict motif. “A deeply moving and profoundly theological case for prayer. Every Christian, indeed everyone contemplating a conversation with God, will be enlightened by this important work.” —INGRID FARO, Northern Seminary “In this outstanding discussion of petitionary prayer, Peckham reassures us that prayer really does make a difference. Readers will learn much from Peckham’s rich theological treatment of prayer.” —KEVIN KINGHORN, Asbury Theological Seminary

John C. Peckham (PhD, Andrews University) is research professor of theology and Christian philosophy at Andrews University.

Defending Sin A Response to the Challenges of Evolution and the Natural Sciences Hans Madueme

This book offers a striking biblical and theological account of the doctrine of sin in dialogue with difficult questions from the natural sciences, helping readers engage with controversial debates surrounding human origins, the fall, and original sin.

“A brave and bracing argument for prioritizing dogma over Darwin—and for retaining the doctrine of original sin as essential to biblical realism, coherent systematic theology, and the gospel itself.” —KEVIN J. VANHOOZER, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “This intelligent and well-researched book encourages Christians to respect scientific findings, while affirming the epistemic primacy of Scripture in our post-Darwinian age. It is a gift to the church.” —MARY VANDEN BERG, Calvin Theological Seminary
