An Emergent Theology for Emerging Churches
Theology
“Ray Anderson has created a gift for the church in An Emergent Theology for Emerging Churches. I wish I had the benefit of Ray's provocative, insightful, helpful thinking in the early days of starting our church. I recommend this book to all who are interested in the biblical roots of emerging church theology today. This book will serve as an inspiration and guide for many who are seeking to live the hopes and dreams of God in our world today.”
Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“David Gushee has done it again, providing clarity, calling, and comfort. The increased risk of the dangers of Christian nationalism is evident from the violent insurrection on January 6 to hostile takeovers of school boards to splits in churches. What is needed is an understanding of the attraction of Christian nationalism and a faithful call forward for those who want to engage a more faithful Christian witness. This book provides just what is needed. The struggle against Christian nationalism has been part of the United States since its founding. And that struggle is ours today. I am so grateful to have David Gushee in the mix and helping to lead the way.”
History & Biography
“Jerry Herships is a gift to the many people he serves in his life as a mentor and pastor and teacher, and in Last Call he shares his gift with the rest of us. And for that I am so grateful. Last Call is more than a memoir; it is a manifesto. A manifesto of hope for those of us who have felt left out and left behind. It is not simply the story of Jerry’s life from comedian to bartender to minister—it is a picture of what we are all called to—an unashamed, unrestrained, unrestricted expression of the life and love of God.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“It’s time to speak up and engage! Thoughtful, compassionate Christians cannot be silent or sidelined during the most critical presidential election in our history. Kincaid describes what we are experiencing and, more importantly, how our vocation as the church can contribute to our common good.”
Science & Faith
“This is the book I have waited years for someone to write. And Paul Wallace is the perfect person to have written it. As an astrophysicist, Wallace has an incredible ability to help people understand complex issues of science and faith. This book is the ideal companion for anyone seeking insightful new ways to engage both faith and science, and have a lot of fun doing so.”
Theology
“The stories we tell ourselves, and one another, carry great power. And, we often have choices in those stories. Danielle Shroyer is telling the story of God that has resounded in the hearts of so many of us even when it did not resound in our sanctuaries, Sunday school rooms, or seminary lecture halls—that humanity is originally blessed. The alternative stories of the depravity of humanity will certainly linger in our world and even in the deep recesses of some hearts, but Danielle’s caring, thoughtful and wise writing will serve to free many from the traps of this misreading the Biblical story. Original Blessing is just that, original and thoughtful and a great blessing to all who read it.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“There is no time more important than now to talk about faith and politics. There is no person better than Robb Ryerse to lead us in that conversation. This book will be a crucial starting point for some, a provocative call for others, and an indispensable part of the journey for all of us on the engagement of faith, politics, and the common good.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“We live in a time of cultural divide, religious tension, and personal conflict. And churches are not exempt from these struggles. Gary Agee serves as the ideal guide for faith leaders and people of faith who take seriously Jesus’s call for unity that goes beyond simply ‘getting along.’ The path toward true unity requires us all to take to heart the real-life struggles in our world and to walk boldly toward a new way of living. That We May Be One is a timely and beautifully written resource for this crucial work.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Honest. Smart. Provocative. Helpful. Important. Pitch-perfect. These are only a few of the words that came to mind when I read Jenell Williams Paris's book The End of Sexual Identity. This book is a must-read for engaging the issue of sexuality in our world today. Not only does Jenell call us to a better way to engage with sexuality, she casts a beautiful vision of what sexual wholeness and a post-sexual identity church can be.”
UnClobber, Expanded Edition with Study Guide
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Martin’s insight, winsome spirit, and passion have come together to create a book that I not only love but am proud to share with those whom I love. UnClobber is a great gift for all who are seeking deeper understanding, faith, and compassion.”
Christian Living
“This book is a gift. Had I only had this book, I would have been far richer for it. And I can attest that what I experienced in friendship and mentorship is what is in abundance in this brilliant and crucially important book. We will all miss many great gifts in our lives, but please don’t miss What Am I Missing?”
