“Students have responded positively to this text, which challenges them in a non-threatening manner to reconsider their preconceptions.”

"Clear writing, good use of accessible quotes, nice historical references, and an effective pedagogical approach, with the questions forcing a critical summary reflection."

"Encountering Ancient Voices [First Edition] has been the most effective Old Testament introduction I have used. More than most introductions, it propels students into the biblical text itself, guiding their study by both essential information and stimulating questions. It becomes a textbook students cannot ignore, yet which never replaces the Bible."

"Mark Allman's Who Would Jesus Kill? provides a rich resource for courses that focus on holy war, pacifism, or just war theory. The detailed treatment of these foci in the book is supported well by an introductory chapter on Christian ethics, discussion questions at the end of each chapter, and appendices on Jewish and Muslim perspectives on war and peace. In short, this volume provides a rare blend of substance and pedagogical usefulness."

“I believe the Text is well suited to the needs of our students given the diverse background of our Student Body at St. John's University, Queens, New York. Our students bring a great deal of Cultural and Religious diversity to the classroom, so it is important to have a Text that can introduce Christianity to them in an objective manner.”

"A well researched and reflective account of the position of women in ecclesiastical and secular society, in the past and present. Verena Wright, wife, mother and 'unruly' woman uses literature, her own experience and other sources to discern and tell the story of women's inferior status."

“Who Would Jesus Kill?  is an insightful book that my students have found both enlightening and accessible.”

"Father Givey brings to life once again the man, the monk, and the mystic who helped to shape the soul of his own generation and who continues to offer a vision of 'peace for the future'"

"Effective feminist writing at its best is informative, well researched, thought-provoking without being aggressive, and persuasive through its use of reason. This book is all these things, besides being the product of a deep understanding of English literature and beautifully written."

"This is a fine text: very thorough and readable. The author has a wonderful grasp of history, and conveys it with ease to students."

"Corrine Carvalho’s Primer on Biblical Methods is just what I’ve been seeking, a book that will get students to read their Bible and not read it for them. Primer on Biblical Methods doesn’t presume too much of students as it provides focused discussion on various methodological viewpoints. I like the questions and exercises the text provides. I can also supplement the Primer with other material without overburdening my students, most of whom are not religion majors."
