“One of the best introductions to a Christian theology of peacebuilding available. In her usual careful, thorough, and accessible style, Lisa Sowle Cahill points to the moral dilemmas involved in each of the positions in the traditional just war versus pacifism debate. She makes a passionate case for nonviolent peacebuilding as an alternative that best exemplifies what it means for Christians to be ambassadors of God’s peace, justice, and reconciliation in the world.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Political theology at its best. Field Hospital confirms Cavanaugh as one of the most lucid, innovative, and interesting theological voices of our time. He has that rare ability to take complicated philosophical arguments and ideas and present them in simple and clear ways for both an academic and a general audience.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The reader must be warned, Foolishness to Gentiles is a terrific, but not easy, book. In his usual eloquent, informed, and witty style, Michael Budde offers a penetrating diagnosis of what is wrong with much of present-day cultural Christianity. Like St. Paul, Michael simply wants Christians to take the Gospel seriously, and thus to not conform to patterns of the world but have their minds renewed so as to seek what is good, pleasing, and true (Rom 12:2). Foolishness to Gentiles offers ways of how to begin that difficult journey.”
Christian Living
“From Pandemic to Renewal is a timely and powerful book. Writing beautifully, persuasively, and vulnerably as he shares his own life experience, Chris Rice invites us into disciplines that help us learn to see and thus know the world in which we live. Only such seeing shaped by a lively spiritual and moral imagination can renew us, the church, and our world.”
Evangelism & Missions
“A timely contribution to the conversation about mission, which masterfully weaves together stories from the author's own experience, biblical reflection and theological insight. Even as he challenges widespread misconceptions of cross-cultural mission, Kuja's intention is to awaken a fresh and liberating engagement with God's redeeming work in the world.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Drawing from his roots in Africa, Dr. Buyondo invites us to envision a world shaped by deep bonds of solidarity, not only between human beings but also between humans and other nonhuman forms of life and realities. We badly need such a fresh vision of global solidarity and scholars, like Jude, who know how to articulate it.”
Theology
“A well-written and much-needed book. Through these essays [in Jesus Without Borders] the reader travels around the world and gets a flavor of the rich theological ferment underway in world Christianity.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“On Becoming Wise Together is as much about theological education as it is about friendship with God. Liu Wong’s beautiful memoir displays how our knowledge, love and worship of God is only possible because of the gift of others that God puts in our lives: family, colleagues, friends, and even strangers. They are the ones who help us to become wise, holy and ‘catholic’. Maria’s life and work is a radiant example of the kinds of theological education needed in this era of world Christianity.”
History & Biography
“I find Our Greatest Weapon Is Love to be an extraordinarily powerful and moving book. We are in Kiess’s debt for making available in English for the first time the writings, speeches, and homilies of Archbishop Munzihirwa. This is a precious and timely gift to the church, which will inspire and invite the reader into the same gifts of courageous leadership, service, and nonviolent love as those that shaped Munzihirwa’s own life.”
History & Biography
“Mark Gornik has written a remarkable story that responds to Peter’s invitation to ‘give an account’ of hope. This story is a witness to another order, a fresh possibility, an alternative, a true and good radiance. In it, you will encounter and be changed by the faith and courage, the friendship and community that made it all possible. Read Sharing the Crust and see how God is always in the process of ‘doing a new thing,’ a ‘new song,’ in the wildernesses and deserts of our time.”
The Nation That Fears God Prospers
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“While questioning the tendency to sacralize political power within Zambian Pentecostalism, Kaunda calls for a fresh Pentecostal political theology, one that is grounded in self-giving love, servanthood, and solidarity with those at the margins. This well-researched, clearly written, and highly informative volume offers a timely contribution to the discussion of religion and politics in general, and the role of Christianity in African politics in particular.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The Politics of Penance is a well-written and highly informative book. Griffin not only carefully retrieves the theological and historical tradition of the Catholic practice of penance, he masterfully displays its rich possibilities for repairing our broken political and judicial systems. A must-read for theologians, political theorists as well as public policy advocates.”
Understanding World Christianity
History & Biography
“Like a striking, stained glass window, Paul Kollman and Cynthia Toms Smedley successfully piece together a myriad of fragments – dark, light, and colorful – of the stories of Christianity in eastern Africa into one compelling, interpretive whole. This work is groundbreaking in the world-Christianity perspective the authors advocate and demonstrate: remarkably comprehensive, yet concise and highly readable. It scrutinizes the past through the lens of present realities, rightfully noting missionary contributions while prioritizing African responses and initiatives that have primarily shaped contemporary expressions of Christian faith. It also analyzes the local region of eastern Africa in relation to the broader world Christian movement, past and present. Artfully crafted and insightfully narrated, this telling of the story of Christianity in eastern Africa is essential reading for anyone interested in the ongoing development of Christian tradition worldwide.”
