In a unique narrative approach, Sprinkle begins by looking at how the story of God as a whole portrays violence and war, drawing conclusions that guide the reader through the rest of the book. With urgency and precision, he navigates hard questions and examines key approaches to violence, driving every answer back to Scripture. Ultimately, Sprinkle challenges the church to "walk in a manner worthy of our calling" and shape our lives on the example of Christ. Nonviolence: The Revolutionary Way of Jesus is biblically rooted, theologically coherent, and prophetically challenging. It is a defining work that will stir discussions for years to come.

Grace is a dangerous topic. We want to domesticate it, calm it down, and stuff it into a blue blazer and a pair of khakis. But biblical grace--or charis--doesn't like to settle down. Grace is a dangerous topic because the Bible is a dangerous book. Scandalous Grace flows from the author's half dozen years of teaching the Old Testament to college students. You might think that would produce a book about judgment - but he shows how every character, every event, every single page of the Old Testament bleeds grace. Rather than looking for heroes to emulate - readers discover a gracious God who loves to redeem the unredeemable.
