History & Biography
“Brace yourself for discovery and prophetic hope! For those who think the fight for racial justice is a new one or those whose energy is flagging in the face of systemic racism, you will find solidarity in these courageous voices from the past. With surprising clarity, the witnesses in Awakening to Justice give us a through line to join the struggle for this holy work yet unrealized.”
History & Biography
“Thanks to Weddle and Aldredge-Clanton for sharpening the lens on the ground-breaking work of Letha Dawson Scanzoni. Building Bridges documents an often-overlooked revolution in American evangelicalism. Christians seeking to build bridges today on pressing questions of gospel liberation and justice will find here a treasure trove of biblical resources and promising vision.”
Theology
“Miller connects the dots from Chrysostom's demonology to the fundamental questions of what it means to be human and to be saved. By opening the door into the moral imagination of early Christian demonology, Miller breaks open the hard shell that Western thought has encased around it. This book will help Western Christians learn, not only from these ancient voices but from much of global Christianity today.”
“Sweeden takes hospitality literature the next step to re-imagine hospitality practices for the twenty-first century. With much of the world's most vulnerable populations 'on the move,' she calls the church to its own mission of hospitality so as to become the church 'on the way.' This book breaks hospitality loose from its warm and fuzzy confines to reveal the risky and transforming practice it is.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Get this book into the hands of folks heading for seminary! Exploring the Bible offers a go-to resource to help them navigate the world of biblical study, which is vast and overwhelming for most beginners. This gives a road map for biblical study that takes both faith and scholarship seriously.”
Christian Living
“This is a little book with big heart that invites readers to embrace wilderness as holy ground. Forlini Burt shows us her journey through wilderness with humor and insight. Sometimes she bushwhacks, sometimes she lingers. But always, she listens as her heart points her home.”
History & Biography
“Elaine Heath herself says it best: 'Saint Phoebe is precisely the one who can help Methodists envision new forms of Christian community, mission, and witness in a postmodern world.' Indeed, Phoebe Palmer can also help Methodists recover ancient forms of Christian community, mission, and witness. This book is about more than Phoebe Palmer. Heath restores to us our apophatic and mystical theological foundations, carried by Palmer's theology, as the fertile soil for growing new faith-forms that can bear much fruit.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Spirituality beyond Borders is a careful, clear-eyed, and incisive account of JustHope’s transnational partnerships seeking transformative justice for communities in both the U.S. and Nicaragua. It is rich with thick descriptions of the disruptive work of encounter across borders. Through powerful storytelling and centering local voices, Kathleen McCallie gives us a playbook of the hard, heartbreaking, and heart-opening work of imagination and hope.”
