Homecoming

History & Biography

“Homecoming is an invitation on a literal journey from Harlem to Palestine, to places of pain, suffering, struggle, and life-giving hope. It is also a spiritual journey, toward places of justice and peace and healing. This is a beautiful, captivating, humbling book, alive with the authenticity of a person disturbed by the state of our world, entirely at home in global struggles for justice and at peace with himself.”

In an Inescapable Network of Mutuality

History & Biography

“We have taken for granted Martin Luther King Jr. as a 'world citizen,' but have spoken about this in vague, generalized terms. This magnificent volume puts an end to such vagueness. Baldwin and Dekar have, through the thoughtful reflections and powerful testimonies of scholars from across the world, brought into sharp relief a King concerned about the world, helping to shape it in ways we never truly understood.”

The End Is Not Yet

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Many have understood the election of President Donald Trump to be disturbingly reminiscent of the times of fascist Germany and thus far in the Trump era, nothing has happened to ease the mind. In ways both theologically subtle and politically astute, John De Gruchy comes to grips with that assessment. But the title says it all: The End Is N ot Yet. Despite the fear and trepidation, the risks and dangers that the politics of unpredictability always brings, Trump is not the end, and the end is not in his hands. The end is in God’s hands, and that end is the entry of grace. That is how this book begins and ends. De Gruchy’s book brings together two fundamental insights that make this book special. He writes as a South African who knows the challenges of pain and hope of struggle, and as one who knows Dietrich Bonhoeffer – and who in his times knew better the challenges of pain and hope and struggle? That in itself makes this masterfully written book a gem. So almost naturally this book is about relentless challenge and kairos moments; about desperate times and fierce commitment; about abiding faith and resilient love. There is unadorned and revealing truth is in this book, page after page of faithful resistance to the pretensions of empire, unmasking the mendacity that wants to make us believe that the end of truthful, faithful, obedience to the Living One can be managed, controlled, and abrogated by those who believe that their power is the end of our faith, our hope, and our life. If ever there was a book for a time such as this – this brilliant little work is it. This is a great gift to all who seek to understand the urgency of our times, the challenge of prophetic resistance, and the call for faithful, hopeful living towards the end God has in mind.”
