The Cosmic Spirit

World Religions

“Let yourself read a few random lines of The Cosmic Spirit—and already its flames and its flows reverberate through you. The genius of this multiversal poet opens in you an endless multiplicity of the world it wraps you back into, renewed for the earthiest of becomings now, the broadest of spaces always.”

The Economy of Salvation

Theology

“Such a powerful packet of papers--including the prophetic wisdom precisely calibrated for this perilous moment by Cobb and Moltmann--makes for a great tribute to a theologian who early exposed the oikonomia of global devastation.”

The Immanent Divine

Theology

“In this splendid contribution to the emergent field of comparative theology, an ecstatic Christian ontology encounters an apophatic Asian anthropology. Both transitions undergo a surprising metamorphosis, as Thatamanil becomes midwife to a dynamic nondualism that will prove illumining not only for religious pluralist and philosophical theologians, but for students of mysticism and philosophy, process and postcolonial theology, deconstruction and dogmatics. Here is a rigorous and generous new voice for transdisciplinary theology.”

The Mind of Whitehead

Philosophy

“The mind of Faber pours forth its own genius in this munificent engagement with Whitehead’s—and thereby with all that is.”

The Nature and Future of Christianity

Theology

“What a needed voice amidst the voids and violences of Christianity in our time--the voice of a rare and trusty wisdom. Witty, unpretentious, and clear-sighted, this book is a map that will help both the formally and informally faithful to find our next steps in a pluralist epoch with an uncertain future. 'The majestic wholeness of Being itself' has a great ally in Edward Long.”

Theologies of Failure

Theology

“In this moment when theology is in danger of failing along with its traditional institutions, when politics threatens to fail us all along with the earth itself—these essays burst failure open from within. Vibrating with the art, the humility, and even the humor of our indelible inadequacies, this conversation enlivens a practice more important than success—an improvisational minding of failure that may indeed prove to be ‘a condition of the possibility of theology itself.’”

Theology in the Capitalocene

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Joerg Rieger has long and persuasively brought theology to bear upon the power of class. Now he binds his challenge to global capitalism with the full-bodied complexity of gender, sex, and race. And most importantly, he embeds this transnational intersectionalism in the precarious vibrancy of the earth. What can be more important--for all of us working earthlings--than his eco-social theology of deep solidarity?”

This Is My Body

Philosophy

“Remarkably the body of this book offers dazzling contributions both to the cutting edge of philosophical enquiry and to the liveliest spirit of Wesleyan theology. Here these two rarely related approaches to the body come into intimate and timely resonance. Tangibly readable, invitingly teachable, its essays have been gathered in a rare solidarity of humor, honesty, and transdisciplinary wisdom.”

Through a Lens Darkly

Arts & Literature

“Through a lens darkened by unjust suffering, a breathtaking story unfolds. With cinematographic drama, succinctness, and beauty, Marjorie Suchocki narrates a story of the stories told of violence and redemption in the movies. Whether you have seen the specific movies or not, whether you might lead a discussion, teach a class, or just deepen your own sense of this powerful medium, whether you seek spiritual or just honest responses to the biggest questions, this wise, usable, and exciting book will leave you seeing--differently.”

Toward a Better Worldliness

Theology

“In a gripping interchange between current philosophy of the gift and the live Protestant legacy of grace, Terra Schwerin Rowe addresses the material urgencies of the present planetary moment. Her insight—sparkling with gems of historical insight, with erudition without tedium, with the chance of a better human way in the world—can refresh and reform theology itself.”

Truths about Evil, Sin, and the Demonic

Theology

“There is no greater theological challenge than the question—the perpetual crisis—of evil. And there is no more lucid and gracious an account of this problem of theodicy than Belitsos here offers. Both scholarly and general readers will find his historical exposition invaluable. He then invites us into the revelatory adventure, cosmically scaled and intimately relevant, of an answering integral vision.”

Turned On

“Brie Stoner tunes us to the most vastly embracing and most intimately touching energy of the universe, releasing afresh the ancient imagery of the cosmic Eros.”

Unborn Bodies

Theology

“Conceived with care and delivered with wisdom, Unborn Bodies: Resurrection and Reproductive Agency does more than fill a gap in feminist theology. It articulates an enlivening alternative to the caricatures of miscarriage and abortion. Its delightful prose carries its courageous and all-too-timely message to a wide Christian public.”

Vulnerable Communion

Theology

“Powerful in its questioning of ‘the disabling framework of the ‘normal,’ Reynolds’s unflinching account emits an irresistible lucidity. A theology of life as sheer gift unfurls in the space opened by his profound meditation on human vulnerability.”
