  Christianity Today Book Award Finalist—Missions/Global Church
  Reader's Choice Award Winner
  Throughout China's rapidly growing cities, a new wave of unregistered house churches is growing. They are developing rich theological perspectives that are both uniquely Chinese and rooted in the historical doctrines of the faith. To understand how they have endured despite government pressure and cultural marginalization, we must understand both their history and their theology.
  In this volume, key writings from the house church have been compiled, translated, and made accessible to English speakers. Featured here is a manifesto by well-known pastor Wang Yi and his church, Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, to clarify their theological stance on the house church and its relationship to the Chinese government. There are also works by prominent voices such as Jin Tianming, Jin Mingri, and Sun Yi. The editors haveprovided introductions, notes, and a glossary to give context to each selection.
  These writings are an important body of theology historically and spiritually. Though defined by a specific set of circumstances, they have universal applicationsin a world where the relationship between church and state is more complicated than ever. This unique resource will be valuable to practical and political theologians as well as readers interested in international relations, political philosophy, history, and intercultural studies.

  When the Guadalupe River rose in the dark hours of July 4, 2025, it swept away cabins, cars, and a sense of safety across Kerr County. In Deluge Before Dawn, Kerrville resident Thomas R. Fox reconstructs, through intimate interviews and firsthand reporting, the events of that fateful night, from the first rainfall through the overnight evacuation of Camp Mystic, the search that followed, the memorial services, and the long work of rebuilding. 
  The book follows the people most deeply affected: campers and counselors, first responders, local journalists, grieving families, and neighbors who refused to leave one another behind. The book is honest about grief, clear-eyed about “alert gaps” and  institutional failures, and asks the hard questions in the wake of the disaster. 
  More than a disaster narrative, Deluge Before Dawn is a record of communal remembrance and resilience. It is a tribute to those lost and a lasting account of how a Hill Country community endured unthinkable tragedy and began to rebuild.

  Pierre Tallet's discovery of the Red Sea Scrolls—the world's oldest surviving written documents—in 2013 was one of the most remarkable moments in the history of Egyptology. These papyri, written some 4,600 years ago, and combined with Mark Lehner's research, changed what we thought we knew about the building of the Great Pyramid at Giza. 
   
   
   
  Here, for the first time, the world-renowned Egyptologists Tallet and Lehner give us the definitive account of this astounding discovery. The translation of the papyri reveals how the stones of the Great Pyramid ended up in Giza. Combined with Lehner's excavations of the harbor at the pyramid construction site the Red Sea Papyri have greatly advanced our understanding of how the ancient Egyptians were able to build monuments that survive to this day. 
   
   
   
  Tallet and Lehner narrate this thrilling discovery and explore how the building of the pyramids helped create a unified state, propelling Egyptian civilization forward. This book captures the excitement and significance of these seminal findings, conveying above all how astonishing it is to discover a contemporary eyewitness testimony to the creation of the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World.

  Popularizing the Past -...

  Popularizing the Past tells the stories of five postwar historians who changed the way ordinary Americans thought about their nation’s history. 
    
  What’s the matter with history? For decades, critics of the discipline have argued that the historical profession is dominated by scholars unable, or perhaps even unwilling, to write for the public. In Popularizing the Past, Nick Witham challenges this interpretation by telling the stories of five historians—Richard Hofstadter, Daniel Boorstin, John Hope Franklin, Howard Zinn, and Gerda Lerner—who, in the decades after World War II, published widely read books of national history. 
    
  Witham compellingly argues that we should understand historians’ efforts to engage with the reading public as a vital part of their postwar identity and mission. He shows how the lives and writings of these five authors were fundamentally shaped by their desire to write histories that captivated both scholars and the elusive general reader. He also reveals how these authors’ efforts could not have succeeded without a publishing industry and a reading public hungry to engage with the cutting-edge ideas then emerging from American universities. As Witham’s book makes clear, before we can properly understand the heated controversies about American history so prominent in today’s political culture, we must first understand the postwar effort to popularize the past.
