A Radical Political Theology for the Anthropocene Era

Theology

“A Radical Political Theology for the Anthropocene Era is defiantly prophetic, provocatively otherwise, extensively researched, theologically astute, and courageously hopeful—a tour de force. Readers concerned about the world’s economic disparities, societal violence, political disorder, and the reality of climate change have a wise teacher in LaMothe. Be empowered into reflection, conversation, and the courage to care.”

Being in Ministry

Church Leadership & Ministry

“"Purnell's work is a witness to the fact that he seeks balance in being a person, being a partner, being a parent, being a pastor, and being an artist. He is inspirational and transformational as he explores the inevitable tension between being in ministry and doing ministry. Every pastoral leader who wonders about messages of being 'excellent' in ministry should read this book!”

Beyond Me

Arts & Literature

“This collection is stirring, reflective, transforming, and hopeful. With pastoral vulnerability, therapeutic wisdom, and scriptural introspection, Carroll Arkema offers a mirror in which we notice our longed-for-selves alongside our shadowy existence. In this mirror we meet God face-to-face, beckoning us to wholeness and deeper relationships. Finding rest in a divine Spirit that dwells and waits, Arkema's vulnerable remembering opens possible futures for us all.”

Brimming with God

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In an age of answers, Brimming with God cultivates knowledge. The weaving together of personal authenticity and faithfulness; diverse experiences; communal peril and potential; and conversations that are hospitable yet charged--all instill wisdom.”

Care of Souls, Care of Polis

Theology

“Care is a dynamic reality and a political act. LaMothe’s bold pastoral wisdom weaves a political theology around the intersections of privilege, power, gender, identity, labor, race, and class. Care of Souls, Care of Polis invites the reader to think politically about care and pastorally about politics.”

Helping Youth Grieve

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“The care of youth has a new conversation partner. With compassion and wisdom Yoder empowers pastors and teachers to be a transformative presence to persons young in years but old in experience. His witness gives voice to the multiple losses and traumas youth know intimately. Lament is needed, more than ever. Helping Youth Grieve should be read, discussed, and lived. Hope will follow.”

Peril, Perseverance, and Perversion

Men

“From influential theologian Ryan LaMothe comes a tour de force in the art of living. LaMothe guides boys, men, and their partners toward authenticity and realness as they face loss and grief, loneliness, racism, economic vulnerability, and environmental uncertainty. Peril, Perseverance, and Perversion radiates care, wisdom, and hope. A thriving, creative life is possible.”

Shelter Theology

Theology

“Shelter Theology is the disruption our world needs. Dunlap boldly invites us into this believing community as they recognize systemic and other injustices and offer personal and communal restoration. Come prepared to be transformed.”

That Their Work Will Be a Joy

Church Leadership & Ministry

“With biblical wisdom, Spirit-filled sensitivity, and cultural awareness, seasoned pastor-teachers Lee and Fredrickson offer a timely book. Personally acquainted with the joys and dangers of ministry, their practical insights will lead seminarians, pastors, and congregations to discover themselves and each other anew as the called people of God.”

Toward a Pastoral Theology of Holy Saturday

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“As a decorated veteran, army chaplain Adam Tietje offers an authentic pastoral theology and visions of care few theologians and caregivers can match. . . . Counselors, pastoral caregivers, families, and friends will discover Holy Saturday as a ‘thin’ place that informs the care of veterans beyond psychological labels and moral-ethical discernment. This compelling and sensitively written work is a welcome addition to the care of combat veterans and the exploration of moral injury.”
