Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“At last: an erotically charged eco–Christianity! Brimming with the sensuous spirit of the creation—and of our most intimate participation in it—this work by a leading ecological theologian will make green converts not by apocalyptic threat but by joyful attraction.”
Philosophy
“In Hoping Against Hope, 'God doesn't exist, God insists,' and God insists with so much love and grace that the omnipotent Daddy you don't really believe in anyway gives up the ghost. But John Caputo's gripping narrative is told with such adventurous honesty and irresistible humor that you don't need to agree with him—you just don't want to stop reading him.”
Christian Living
“Whether or whatever you ‘believe,’ this is one riveting read. As Life after God tugs you irresistibly into the question—into the whole tangle of doctrines and doubts, of pious pretense and painful honesty—you may find yourself in wondrous company. Amazing theological company!”
Love in a Time of Climate Change
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“With wonderfully readable wisdom, Sharon Delgado invites us, Christians and all, to follow her on this honestly hopeful and adventurously holy way to our shared future: to live in love in a perilously changing climate.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“What will startle reader after reader is how every chapter of Matthew Matters matters! In its utterly fresh vocalizations of an ancient Wisdom, lucid waves of insight keep crashing across the pages. We discover anew the gentle radicality of this Gospel, the proto-feminism of its Divine Sophia. We are surprised by fetching engagements with other religions, particularly Jewish and Muslim. We are disarmed by its defamiliarized Wesley, its hints of Whitehead. In its unpretentious, loving brilliance it welcomes readers of any background into a becoming—really still possible—‘Wisdom Community.’”
“This elegant theological exposé of the Eurocentric colonization of — and by — white theology becomes a richly textured prolegomenon for a mult-cultural reconstruction of Christianity, including an inspiring critique of the doctrine of the Spirit from the vantage point of the spirits.”
Philosophy
“"What a mysterious meditation unfolds here, oscillating subtly 'between namelessness and excessive signification.' May its illumining construction of diaspora as a composition of differences in their 'intermattering' refresh current conversations about religion, Christianity, and the secular; about immanence and negative theology; about the co-constitution of beings beyond preexisting identities and the construction of value.”
Theology
“Elisabeth Gerle reveals the long-lost and lovable body in Luther's theology. Without muffling the internal contradictions and half-millennium distance, Gerle solicits in this breakthrough of sensual materiality, of vibrant attention ethical and erotic to our physicality, a crucial ancestor for sexual politics and embodied spirituality today. Her writing beautifully performs the passion it so lucidly describes.”
Theology
“A magnificent choir of women’s voices rises up on behalf of a shared future: across a powerful diversity of theological feminisms, cultures, creatures, and doctrines, this energizing cantata sings its solidarity in the face of climate change and in the key of courage.”
Theology
“Here is the amazing gift of a teachable introduction to the civilizational variations of colonialism. The theological—indeed theopoetic—answer that Heaney offers will revive spirits demoralized by new hate-waves. It will inspire fierce and honest, loving and creative Christian resistance.”
“Ever found process thought—with the whole universe pulsing and sparkling in every quantum—a bit of a trip? John Buchanan confirms your suspicion! This irresistibly readable narrative of psychedelic exploration, of a long path ultimately sober and all the more visionary, opens a stunning new portal into our shared reality. We discover not just a remarkably lucid introduction to Whiteheadian theo-cosmology, but—aimed right at our self-destructive civilization—the chance of a spiritual awakening.”
Theology
“In this brilliant burst of theological becoming, Linn Tonstad leads us beyond liberal apologetics for sexual difference. Queer Theology reveals something indispensable and yet irreducible to theology itself: arching between desire and death, theology here faces its deformations and unleashes its transformations. Vibrantly engaging her students as well as her theorists, the text queers the deep questions of Christianity.”
Theology
“In this honest exploration of "everlasting liveliness" the great theologian of hope fine-tunes Christian hope for eternal life. Rich with poetry, with scripture, with experience, this meditation on the new creation opens a dimension of faith too often closed to modern and liberal Christianities. Moltmann is offering a great gift, wrapped lovingly in highly readable prose, to pastors and laity alike.”
Saving Jesus from Those Who Are Right
Theology
“Carter Heyward gathers the elements of her transformative reflection and action under the wings of this compassionate, courageous christology. Distinguishing 'being right' from 'right relation,' she brings to this new reformation a teachable, preachable Jesus, far-flung and intimate, one as much needed as awaited. What a great gift to progressive Christianity, for which she has long been such an influential force.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book doesn't just shake, it rocks! Delgado offers a powerful account, lucid and lyrical, of the crossroads before us: the 'corporate security state' or the better world that is possible. This book makes it a bit more possible. For Christians who care about the earth and about humanity, for students of theology, activists, and church leaders: here is inspiration and information, proclamation and empowerment.”
Spirit and the Politics of Disablement
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Sharon Betcher’s cosmopolis of 'corporeal generosity' emits an eerie beauty. Its theopoetics for seculars does not exclude any theology worth practicing but reads Spirit in the cracks of bodies, cities, politics, wisdoms. In the brilliance of this “crip/tography” the sites of our acute vulnerability signal possibilities that we do not want to miss—whatever our discipline or art, our religion or irreligion.”
Struggling for the Soul of Our Country
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“These essays burst as blossoms of radical wisdom, growing right out of the deep place of our shared history--that past-present where possibility betrayed lives and festers. In his voice it remains possible and calls to us still. In beautifully accessible prose, standing at the cutting edge of this historic moment, Browning voices the call to a socially real democracy, beyond imperial aggression and ecological self-destruction. He has offered us all a work of revolutionary soulfulness.”
Christian Living
“Super, Natural Christians is super! It is Sallie McFague's greatest book so far: powerfully focused, richly intertextual, lucid yet elegant.”
Theology
“Again the bottomless becomingness, the compassionate adventurousness, the insistent poetics of Roland Faber's thinking--indeed of his God--offer themselves to us in language. He echoes and interprets the language of process theology, but with a 'transreligious' difference. Whitehead might find himself mysteriously refreshed in these genial 'contours of becoming.'”
Theology
“This book matters! Sallie McFague has created something important and necessary—a model of God specifically for the sake of the earth. If traditional concepts of god have alienated us from the bodies of the material world, then what alternative do we have? Is there any sense of transcendence, of spirit, of Christ, of trinity that will help rather than harm the earth today? McFague takes up these great and heavy questions with firmness and authority, with modesty and ambiguity, with wisdom and patience. No one else has yet unfolded with comparable constructive clarity the relation between the earth crisis and our notion of God.”
