Missional Economics

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Are you a Christian who is experiencing a sense of moral incoherence as you wrestle with the widening wealth gap in the United States? If so, then Michael Barram’s Missional Economics is a must-read for you. His skillful biblical exegesis, keen personal reflections, and critical questions will enable you to join a larger dialogue that crosses the divide between theology and economics at a decisive time for Christians living in a capitalist society. This book will stimulate vigorous and reflective discussions in both college and seminary classrooms and church study groups.”

Reinhold Niebuhr in the 1960s

History & Biography

“In this important book, Ronald H. Stone underscores the evolution of Niebuhr’s thought and political engagement in the 1960s. Stone emphasizes the continued significance of Niebuhr’s arguments for contemporary political philosophy and foreign policy and adds insight to the debates about how committed Niebuhr was to the women’s and Civil Rights movements. Readers also get a sense of Niebuhr as both a charismatic religious leader and as a mentor. This book will be an excellent resource for those seeking to understand both Niebuhr’s legacy as a scholar and his ongoing impact on contemporary theology and ethics.”

Serving Money, Serving God

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Despite vigorous and prophetic challenges to neoliberalism made by religious leaders, by ecumenical and interfaith organizations, and within many congregations, most stewardship campaigns continue to reflect market-oriented approaches to wealth creation and the distribution of financial gifts. Sheryl Johnson’s book provides a desperately needed, creative, and justice-oriented approach that will challenge you to think about stewardship as far more than a campaign or program—it is a way of life and reflects the distinctive witness and identity of Christian ministry and mission. Serving Money, Serving God is an accessible accessible and essential read for religious leaders hoping to put their ethical commitments into action.”

Social and Economic Life in Second Temple Judea

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This well-researched and innovative study is an essential resource for both researchers and religious leaders. Adams adeptly illustrates how the social and economic context of the ancient world helped to shape people’s beliefs about God, justice, and fair balance. There are strong implications for our contemporary context as we witness a dramatic acceleration of wealth inequalities in the U.S. And around the world. The significance of Adams’s work extends beyond a historical study and invites readers to seek the wisdom and alternative vision of ancient traditions of faith as we confront one of the most pressing problems of our own time.”

The Cross Examen

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“There is no better time for religious leaders to learn how to pray than in the challenging and unpredictable times in which we are living. There is also no better spiritual guide and teacher than seasoned activist and pastor Roger Gench. If you are looking for a resource that will provide you or your study group with life-sustaining contemplative practices that you need to turn away from the violence and polarization so endemic in our times and toward neighbor, nature, and God, you have found it in The Cross Examen.”
