Doing Theology with Humility, Generosity, and Wonder

Theology

“If there is a book that is extremely helpful in making us understand how salvation and openness to other faiths are so central to the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, this is the one. Now I have found a core text for my systematic and constructive theology classes!”

Learning to Speak a New Tongue

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Which tongue shall America speak? Is it the tongue of democratic freedom truncated into the tongue of self-entitlement, or the tongue of justice, equality, and care? Matsuoka's prophetic critique not only exposes the destructive path America is walking, it also calls America to learn to speak a new tongue, a tongue that offers clue for an alternative tomorrow. This is a timely work for our troubled times!”

Practical Theology in Church and Society

Theology

“Could there be anything more practical than having a method for reflective practice that takes the dialectical interplay of faith, theory, and social context seriously so we may live out our calling and minister with integrity and effectiveness? Joseph E. Bush Jr. has articulated such a method and, again, has kept us indebted by producing another significant work in practical theology. It's my privilege to welcome it!”

Risking the Terror

“A prophetic voice our world so desperately needs to hear.”

So Kind Yet So Cruel

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Fumitaka Matsuoka writes with the fire of a prophet and the tenderness of a pastor. He unmasks America’s kindness and cruelty, weaving neglected stories into a new fabric of peoplehood. This luminous book summons us to honesty, courage, and hope—an indispensable guide in such a time as ours.”

Theological Renewal for the Third Millennium

Theology

“It’s a humbling privilege to introduce a compendium of Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen’s work, Theological Renewal for the Third Millennium, which reflects the breadth and depth of the author’s mind and his passion for theology. If we are to have a significant renewal in our theological life, it would be of immense help to have this compendium on our side!”

Transgressing Race

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“When the struggle seems long and endless, it’s inspiring and empowering to have a group of theologians/activists who offer creative ways of transgressing racism in various contexts and manifestations and on multiple fronts. I’m truly grateful for this contextually timely work!”

Trinity and Revelation

Theology

“Truly an amazing work. One cannot help but be amazed at Veli-Matti Karkkainen's breadth and depth of knowledge of the Christian and other faith traditions as well as his ability to weave the various voices into a coherent, hospitable, and inclusive Christian constructive theology. . . . Trinity and Revelation is a major breakthrough in the field!”
