Communities of Resistance and Solidarity

Theology

“Sharon Welch offers here not simply a feminist theology of liberation but a new way of doing theology as such. She brings together the resources of Christian faith, the creativity and passions of personal experience, and finely honed instruments of analysis found in Michel Foucault and Ernst Bloch. The results are exciting: 'dangerous memory,’ 'genealogies of resistance,' 'poetics of revolution.' It would be difficult to read this work and continue to think in the usual ways about men and women, faith, power, theology, in fact, about anything.”

Healing Violent Men

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“David Livingston draws on his clinical experience, the factual record, and theological resources for an impressive study of a topic often ignored in the church and the academy. A factually informed, wise, compassionate, and helpful book.”

To Understand God Truly

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Kelsey's study offers both the best and fullest analysis to date of the major interpretations of theological education and an original proposal that argues that God is what theological education is all about. It deserves to be the major reference work for discussion of theological education.”
