Alterity and the Evasion of Justice
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Alterity and the Evasion of Justice: Explorations of the "Other" in World Christianity is among the most important books yet to appear in the field of World Christianity. It accurately names and analyzes the silencing of the "other" that has taken place in both the study and practice of World Christianity. It also serves to let the "others" speak and be heard as compelling voices for justice. No one who cares about what is happening in World Christianity can ignore this work.”
Christian Living
“Long a leading theorist of urban ministry, contextual theological education, and Latino/a theological ethics, Eldin Villafañe is revealed in Beyond Cheap Grace to be above all a prophetic voice on behalf of the cruciform life, challenging various forms of cultural accommodation that distort and conceal the gospel in our era. Calling us to recover the radical meaning of discipleship, incarnation, and justice for spiritual renewal, this valuable work deserves a wide reading and even wider application.”
Christian Missions in East Bengal
History & Biography
“Most of us have not been taught to think of Christianity as a Bengali religion, yet there were churches in East Bengal before English settlers came to North America. . . . It is an important book, making a significant contribution to our growing understanding of Christianity in diverse social, political, cultural, and religious contexts throughout the world.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
““Kevin Yoho gets it. Crayons for the City gets it. The book tells the story of one pastor’s commitment to reconnect a struggling urban church with its struggling neighborhood in ways that transformed them both. It also invites readers to do something similar in their own way, in their own location. The book is filled with practical insights and wisdom, undergirded at every point by a profound theology of love and hope.”
Disciplinary Tensions in World Christianity
Theology
“Disciplinary Tensions in World Christianity is an outstanding book. The authors featured in its pages take methodological tensions emerging from the study of world Christianity not as problems to be solved but as generative resources for new insights and knowledge. They do so by placing issues of social justice and public engagement at the center of their concerns. Honoring the legacy of Richard Fox Young, the volume is especially concerned with deepening the conversations emerging from interreligious tensions. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in knowing what is happening along the cutting edge of world Christianity today.”
History & Biography
“Too often the study of world Christianity has been confined to the Global South, leaving Europe and North America out of the picture. This volume is a welcomed correction to that tendency. Bringing the methods of the study of world Christianity to bear upon North America, it sheds light upon the rich diversity of experiences across the continent while finding connections across boundaries and identities.”
History & Biography
“The essays in this book situate . . . the established Lutheran churches in several Scandinavian contexts in relation to both their own historical past and several wider currents of contemporary, global Christian influences. The result is a rich and rewarding collection of essays on Lutheranism in the north, offering valuable insights for all churches of the world.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Faith and Madness takes us on a journey into the soul, allowing us to share in an experience of inner healing at the depths where spirituality and psychology converge. Thank you Sarah Slagle Arnold for this courageous book!”
World Religions
“"Latina/o y Musulman is a captivating book. Focusing upon the narratives of initial conversion and continuing observance of Latinos and Latinas in the USA who are Muslim, its pages open up new insights into the manner in which identities are constructed, contested, and reconstructed. Martinez-Vazquez continues to challenge us to see history and culture through a different lens, enabling us to remember outside the colonial.”
History & Biography
“This richly rewarding book takes the reader into Christ Temple under the leadership of Charles Price Jones a century ago in order to discover a host of fresh insights into hymnody, preaching, and the encounter with God that takes place in worship. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in the study and practice of worship.”
History & Biography
“Justo L. González ranks among the most important and influential interpreters of Christian history in our era. The Mestizo Augustine is yet one more outstanding achievement. This groundbreaking study of Augustine offers compelling new insights into the life and thought of the great North African theologian and pastor from the perspective of mestizaje while advancing the overall project of mestizaje theology itself to a significant degree.”
History & Biography
“The Pastor describes pastoral life like no other text I have ever read, ever. More than a gifted writer, Eugene Peterson is a voice calling upon the churches to recover the vocation of the pastor in order to experience the renewing of their faith in the midst of an increasingly commercialized, depersonalized, and spiritually barren land.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“William G. Rusch is one of the great theological minds of our era. He has dedicated his gifts and passion to realizing the visible unity of the church of Jesus Christ. Toward a Common Future is his finest achievement to date. The specific proposal that he offers in Chapter 7 sets out the final steps of this long ecumenical journey toward visible unity that the pilgrim people of God have been on.”
