Bread for the Resistance

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Bread for the Resistance is a must-read for all Christians committed to bringing about biblically centered justice in the world. These devotionals are powerful readings that help connect our individual faith journeys with our call to transform systems of injustice in the world. In doing so, this book demonstrates the fullness of biblical witness that speaks both to individuals and systems. Donna Barber has provided us an invaluable resource that can be used by church groups, organizers, or individuals for biblically grounding our work for justice as well as expanding our understanding of what biblical justice is. Bread for the Resistance also addresses the personal cost in striving for justice by providing a healing balm and nourishment for the soul when we face barriers, burnout, or discouragement. Read, you will be refreshed!”

Decolonizing Evangelicalism

Theology

“Decolonizing Evangelicalism is a much-needed intervention into the current political and theological crises facing white Evangelicalism. Woodley and Sanders courageously and without apology call on Evangelicals to not only transform theological content, but theological process, by centering the voices of colonized peoples. Without offering simple answers, Woodley and Sanders provide hope by pointing to new paradigms for decentering whiteness in Evangelicalism.”

Remembering Jamestown

Evangelism & Missions

“Amos Yong and Barbara Brown Zikmund have made a critical intervention in the theological and ethical absence of Indigenous peoples within Christian mission. Their groundbreaking work opens up a fruitful dialogue for how to rethink missions within the context of historical and continuing colonization of Native peoples. They offer no simple or uniform solutions but provide a space for critical analysis and intellectual exchange. This book is a must read.”

Unsettling Truths

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Unsettling Truths is a must-read for all Christians and should become a staple of seminary education. There is virtually no other book targeted toward a biblically centered audience that explains the theological significance of the doctrine of discovery and its legal progeny for not only Native peoples but for Christian settlers. In addition, there are virtually no books that so adeptly analyze the relationship between settler colonialism and indigenous genocide with the history ofracialization of other people of color in the United States. Through their masterful and extended analysis of the ideological and legal foundations of the United States, these authors force to us to wrestle the unsettling truths of the foundations of US democracy. As the same time, they provide us the resources to imagine biblically based possibilities for new forms of collectivity and governance beyond settler colonialism. This book provides not only critically needed information about the generally misunderstood political and legal status of Native nations, it provides a paradigm-shifting approach for how to understand the United States (and other settler nations) from a biblical perspective.”
