About PaternosterIn 1935 Howard Mudditt, the son of missionary parents,
gave up his job in the Bank of England to found ‘The
.Paternoster Press’.
The name served as a dual purpose. Most importantly, it is
the name of the Lord’s Prayer (‘Paternoster’ is Latin for ‘Our
Father’), but it was also a reference to Paternoster Row near
St Paul’s Cathedral where many of the major publishers at
that time were based.
Today, Paternoster is the theological imprint of the publish-
ing house Authentic Media. It has seen many changes but
continues to publish cutting-edge Christian literature that
covers the whole spectrum of the theological curriculum.

BOOK SYNOPSIS
This study analyses the different divine covenants of
the Old Testament and argues that they are closely
related. The successive covenants, from Noah to
David, are seen to express the divine purpose for
humanity from the creation onwards. William Dumbrell
interacts extensively with attempts to explain the
signifi cance of concepts such as the gift of the land,
victory, rest and the divine presence. This extraordi-
nary book also throws light upon the Christian use of
the Old Testament categories. This second, revised
edition brings the subject right up to date.
KEY POINTS
• A classic work, revised by the author
• Shows something of the unity of the Bible narrative
• Demonstrates the grace of God to humanity from
creation to the present time

BOOK SYNOPSIS
Love Hurts is a fresh and compact summary of the
central themes of the Christian message. Journeying
through the Bible’s rich and diverse world of ideas and
stories, it leads the reader on a route mapped out by
one particular motif – the love of God. The meaning
of this idea as it is explained in three key verses in
the New Testament determines the path taken. The
reader is invited to consider the costliness of that love,
the judgement from which it saves men and women,
the sort of life it promises and the role that faith plays
in responding to it. The saving ministry of Jesus is
considered afresh in the light of it. There is also a re-
fl ection on why these short lives of ours have ultimate
signifi cance and the distinguishing mark of those who
are blessed by God. Finally, consideration is given to
the pre-emptive nature of God’s saving love and how
that love is presented to us in the gospel as promise.
KEY POINTS
• Clear accessible presentation of the Gospel
• Biblical and applied theology
• A well-known writer and speaker
TARGET AUDIENCE
• Pastors wishing to see the Gospel in a fresh way

on the love of God

BOOK SYNOPSIS
The book begins by exploring a number of signposts
in Psalms’ scholarship which alert us to the value of
psalms as a form of prayer. The particular focus is
lament psalms, and their potential as a form of prayer
for people engaging with distressing experiences in
life. What follows, is a discussion of lament as a pro-
cess and the areas of potential change for someone
who uses these psalms for prayer. The fi nal section
of the book includes stories of several people who
prayed some of these psalms over a period of time. It
explores their responses and refl ections in an attempt
to evaluate the effectiveness of praying psalms such
as these.

and sorrow
• Written by an expert on the subject

BOOK SYNOPSIS
The Tortoise Usually Wins is a delightful exploration
of the theory of quiet leadership. Written for reluctant
leaders, it interacts with three key biblical images
of leadership – the leader as servant, shepherd and
steward – and links them with some of the key virtues
of quiet leadership – modesty, restraint, tenacity, inter-
dependence and other-centeredness. Brian Harris is
the principal of a highly regarded theological seminary
and also pastors a thriving local church, so the book
carries the wisdom of both professor and pastor, satis-
fying the reader both intellectually and practically.
KEY POINTS
• This book explores what has come to be known as
‘Quiet Leadership’ from a Christian perspective
• Readable and accessible, it combines solid content,
theological refl ection and practical application
• At the end of each chapter there is a brief interview

BOOK SYNOPSIS
This book gives an exposition of Wolfhart Pannenberg’s
thought by tracing the important theme of anticipation.
The recognition of the importance to Pannenberg of
the challenge of philosophical atheism and the way in
which anticipation enables him to overcome this
challenge gives a vantage point from which it becomes
possible to discern what Pannenberg is attempting to
achieve in much of this project. The theme of
anticipation is a key to his theological project, and
the book traces it through the doctrines of revelation,
Christ, redemption and God.
KEY POINTS
• An accessible exposition of a key structural element
in Pannenberg’s thought
• The fi rst detailed examination of Pannenberg’s
doctrine of reconciliation in over 30 years
• A careful and appreciative assessment
• A comparison of Pannenberg’s use of ‘anticipation’
with New Testament ‘now-not-yet’ motif

of miracles in general and the resurrection of Jesus in
particular, the coherence of the idea that God is a trin-
ity of divine persons, and so on – from a philosophical

BOOK SYNOPSIS
Jewish Themes in the New Testament is an exami-
nation of what the New Testament teaches about
the Jewish people in the era of the New Covenant.
The core of that teaching is an affi rmation of God’s
continued faithfulness to them. In a day when opinions
regarding the Jewish people are increasingly polarized
as some stress their position centre-stage and others
consign them to the dustbin of history, this book seeks
to demonstrate from the New Testament that both
extremes are wrong. This unique book considers the
theological issues, but it is concerned for much more;
it is about Jewish people and the Jews as a people, as
the New Testament sees them.
KEY POINTS
• A unique perspective on the New Testament
passages
• The author has worked amongst the Jewish people

BOOK SYNOPSIS
This book tells the story of a number of different faith-
based organizations based in different parts of Europe,
but characterized by the same set of goals and aspira-
tions – to bring faith-inspired action into contexts of
social injustice and marginalization in urban areas.
Each story involves innovative leadership, sacrifi cial
volunteering and giving, and a strong sense of going-
beyond-the-self in order to reach out to disadvantaged
others. Their story is one of the complexity of practis-
ing faith in the now-society – how faith serves but
does not proselytize; meets the needs of others not of
selves; acts in the public arena but is not incorporated
into secular governance and values; keeps its integrity
but reaches out beyond its boundaries; and signals the
need for ethical response in partnerships with others
for whom faith is not the principal motivation.
KEY POINTS
• Unique subject: faith-based organizations at work
• Diversity of situations across Europe by a diversity of
experts in the fi eld
• Accessible style; practical lessons
TARGET AUDIENCE

BOOK SYNOPSIS
How should we expect multiple interpretations of the
Bible to be kept in check? Each of the contributors,
experts in their fi eld, considers one parameter of
responsibility, which may act as a constraint on the
validity of competing biblical interpretations. Stanley
E. Porter considers theological responsibility; Walter
Moberly on ecclesial responsibility; Richard S. Briggs
on scriptural responsibility; Matthew R. Malcolm on
kerygmatic responsibility; James D.G. Dunn on histori-
cal responsibility; Robert C. Morgan on critical respon-
sibility; Tom Greggs on relational responsibility, and
Anthony C. Thiselton considers the topic as a whole.
What emerges is a plurivocal but concordant projec-
tion of fruitful ways forward for biblical interpretation.

BOOK SYNOPSIS
Conrad Gempf loves St Paul. He thinks he’s a genius.
And with this book, he shows you why you should
think so too. Yes, he admits that Paul was without
doubt one of the most diffi cult people to work with in
the history of the world. So he sympathizes with any
doubts you may have, but asks that you just let him
take you on a ride through three of Paul’s letters (really,
two letters and a memorandum), in order to hear both
sides of these conversations. Conrad thinks he can
completely change your understanding of these letters
and of Paul’s character. However, keep your arms and
legs inside the carriage at all times, because along
the way some wild twists and turns will emerge before
a fi nal surprise promises to change your relationship
with Paul for good.

from Daniel Brown, believers will be given the tools

grace that Christ promised us through his death and
resurrection. In ‘low shelf’ terms, Brown provides a

provided both — not to point out what we are doing
wrong, but to help us more fully live in the love he has
given to us.
In Embracing Grace, guilt-weary readers will be able
to: clearly understand the relationship between Grace
and the Law; equip themselves with the tools to over-
come the lies of the adversary; and appropriate their
position in Christ on a daily basis.

Andrew Fuller and the Evangelical Renewal of Pastoral Theology
An exploration of the pastoral theology of Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) suggests that evangelical renewal did not only take place alongside the local church – missions, itinerancy, voluntary societies – but also within the congregation as the central tasks of dissenting pastoral ministry became, in the words of one diarist, ‘very affecting and evangelical’.
How did evangelicalism transform dissenting and Baptist churches in the eighteenth century? Is there a distinctively congregational expression of evangelicalism? And what
contribution has evangelicalism made to pastoral theology?

Universal Salvation and the Redemption of Time in the Eschatology of Jürgen Moltmann
The Annihilation of Hell This work analyses and evaluates Jürgen Moltmann’s model of universal salvation and its relation to his understanding of
the redemption, or eschatological fulfi lment, of time.
The ‘Annihilation of Hell’ thus refers both to Hell’s annihila-tive power in history and to the overcoming of that power as envisioned by Moltmann’s distinctive theology of the cross in which God becomes ‘all in all’ through Christ’s descent into
Godforsakenness.

Jan van VlietThe Intellectual Heritage of William Ames
This work establishes the signifi cance of the thought of Puritan William Ames (1576-1633) in deepening and sys-tematizing established Reformation teaching on Christian doctrine and life in a way that ensured its subsequent development through the early modern period and beyond.
This book argues that William Ames built on existing, but as yet un-developed and un-codifi ed, thought of Reformed and Puritan forerunners to construct an early theological system on the twin pillars of covenant theology and piety.

Theology is ‘good’ and worthwhile when it causes us to worship God.
All the great theologians, from Augustine to Luther, from Calvin to
Moltmann, for example, would demand that our theology turns our
hearts to God in gratitude and worship. Paternoster seeks to retain
this tradition: good theology, accessible reading, encouraging us
to be grateful, to worship God, and to be sent out in compassion
on the missio Dei into which we are called.
