A shelf built around one question: what are we?

A compelling philosophical and theological case for the reality of the soul, integrating scientific inquiry, philosophy of mind, and Christian thought to illuminate consciousness, personal identity, and what it means to be human.

An accessible case for the reality of the immaterial self, drawing on introspection, phenomenal consciousness, and the enduring puzzles of personal identity. Farris argues that selves are not assembled from parts but originate as wholes.

A wide-ranging textbook mapping the doctrine of humanity — origins, constitution, the image of God, sin, and final destiny — for students of theology and philosophy. It presents the major options fairly while arguing for a distinctly dualist and creationist account.

A constructive defense of a broadly Cartesian view of the soul in dialogue with contemporary theological anthropology and philosophy of mind. The volume develops “emergent-creationism” as a novel account of the origin of the human person.

A field guide for leaders navigating artificial intelligence with a properly human — soulful, embodied, morally serious — anthropology at the center. It asks what machines can and cannot replace in the work of persons.

A multi-view conversation on where souls come from, staging creationism, traducianism, and emergentist alternatives against one another. Contributors respond to each other directly, modelling disagreement as a scholarly virtue.

A comprehensive reference work gathering historical and contemporary treatments of idealism and immaterialism across philosophy and theology. Available in hardback, paperback, and e-book.

A transcription and critical introduction to Maltby Gelston’s manuscript dogmatics, recovering a neglected voice in the New England theological tradition. Published in the Princeton Theological Monograph Series.

Essays connecting the doctrine of salvation to questions of personal constitution: what must a human being be, if this is what salvation does to us? A sustained exercise in analytic theology.

A collection of philosophical and theological critiques of Christian materialism about human persons. The volume presses whether physicalism can carry the doctrinal weight it is often asked to bear.

Essays exploring what Christian doctrine looks like when read through an idealist metaphysic. Contributors treat creation, incarnation, and the human person on immaterialist terms.

A major reference volume surveying the doctrine of humanity across Scripture, tradition, philosophy, and the sciences. Originally the Ashgate Research Companion, now in hardback and paperback with Routledge.

Proceedings of the first global conference on Sins, Vices and Virtues, gathering interdisciplinary treatments of moral concepts. Reissued as an e-book with Brill in 2017.

A forthcoming volume arguing that phenomenal consciousness and the reality of souls make better sense within a theistic frame than a materialist one. The book diagnoses naturalism as a conditioning of the imagination rather than a finding of science.

A forthcoming series retrieving and re-stating Reformed doctrine for contemporary constructive theology. Volumes pair historical retrieval with analytic clarity.

An edited collection recovering doctrines that have fallen out of contemporary theological attention. Currently in negotiation with Eerdmans.

A constructive Reformed Anselmian account of the atonement, developing reparative substitution as an alternative to standard penal readings. The argument turns on the nature of justice, honor, and law.

A projected six-volume academic series mapping theological anthropology in depth, from constitution and origins to eschatological destiny. Currently under review.
