The SPCK February 2018 Releases

As well as two exciting new hardback books with their own publication dates, our latest batch of releases include two brand new children's books by comedian Paul Kerensa, two thoughtful new books from some of Christianity's most creative thinkers, and the paperback edition of Richard Harries' latest book.

The long-awaited Paul: A Biography by Tom Wright comes out at the end of February, a comprehensive and magisterial life of the Apostle. Wright is of course well-placed to attempt this book, and he succeeds in creating readable and engaging narrative. Preorder today for 30% off.

Releasing in early February is Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I’ve Loved, by Kate Bowler. Bowler is a scholar of the prosperity Gospel movement, but this book is a more personal account of her struggle with cancer, whilst being immersed in a form of religion that denied the reality of her experience.

Paul Kerensa needs little introduction - as well as a stand up act, Paul has been a writer for MirandaNot Going Out and Top Gear. We are delighted to be publishing two creative, humorous and engaging childrens books, retelling classic Bible stories with Paul's trademark humour and flair: Noah's Car Park Ark and Moses and the Exodus Express.

Building on a series of talks at St Martin-in-the-Fields, and featuring a stellar cast of leading theologians, Who is my Neighbour?, edited by Samuel Wells and Richard Carter, contains a range of perspectives on this most radical of Christian questions. Topics include politics, Donald Trump, the refugee crisis, and reconciliation. 

Alister McGrath's latest book is The Landscape of Faith: An Explorer's Guide to the Christian Creeds. In this exciting new book, one of the world's leading theologians offers a vibrant guide to the deep truths that shape a living faith. Drawing on popular writers such as C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton and Dorothy L. Sayers, this book is an invitation to expand your understanding and love of God.

Finally for February 2018 we are pleased to be publishing the more accessible paperback edition of Richard Harries' The Beauty and the Horror. Andrew Copson, Director of the British Humanist Society, described this book's engagement with the problem of evil 'the best case that could be made'.
