Architectures of Grace in Pastoral Care
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Douglas Olds’s project is to challenge a model of pastoral care identified as Biblicist Counseling, which claims the counselor is a representative of God and so has hierarchical authority. Instead, Olds images pastoral care as companionship, in which the caregiver habituates the virtues of Christ’s excellences, embodying grace, spreading shalom. His challenge to Biblicist Counseling is serious and worth savoring by caregivers as well as care seekers.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Looking at food through a theological prism, 'Food for Life' begins the probe of personal and systemic eating disorders, finally pointing the way to reverse disorder and move toward personal and social redemption. Jung's many-faceted, delightful exploration of what we might have thought of as common takes us from the table to the world and the cosmos.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Delgado names and then unmasks the myths, laws, and practices that sustain global corporate reach and suck the moral fiber out of well-meaning Christians. Reflecting on her participation in nonviolent direct resistance against these powers and describing movements for global justice––such as they have emerged in Chiapas, Cochabamba, Nigeria, Argentina, India, and Kenya––Delgado prepares Christians for faith-led resistance as a way of life.”
Christian Living
“Because ‘the spiritual world is not easily experienced directly nor easily described in everyday language,’ Dr. Sullender identifies the different ways we humans seek to fulfill spiritual needs, thus helping us to connect the material and spiritual worlds. My own response: This is amazing. I’ve never thought about it that way.”
Preaching & Worship
“Here we see what worship can be like in a season devoted fully to creator and creation. Top notch biblical scholars have contributed commentaries to help church leaders to hear the voice of the Earth and the voice of the poor in the texts, in the sacraments, and in the practical experience of healing Earth. So timely and so inspiriting!”
