Theology

“Mayimoto's work continues with creative strength and powerful relevance the original contribution of Kazoh Kitamori in his book The Theology of the Pain of God . . . Mayimoto's work provides not only a careful understanding of Luther, but a provocative and intellectually acute retrieval of Luther's contributions for our present theological reflection from a Japanese perspective.”

Postcolonial Public Theology

Theology

“Postcolonial Public Theology is an exciting and very instructive approach to current research in the area of postcolonial Christian theology. An important value of Chung's proposal is his interdisciplinary and critical approach that invites scholars from a variety of fields of research to engage in further conversation about his claims and constructive argument. This book is an excellent resource for seminary students and church leaders preparing for public ministry.”

The Mexican Reformation

History & Biography

“Joel Cruz's book tracing the emergence of Protestantism in Mexico from the reformation experience of the Roman Catholic Church during the middle of the nineteenth century is another valuable example in the emergence of a young generation of scholars in the United States tracking down the roots of their religious spirituality from a Latin American cultural heritage . . . With this publication, Joel Cruz promises the first of a number of studies that will surely provide a stimulus for other scholars interested in the topic. Cruz's argument is not just scholarly persuasive, but provides another important ground to continue and increase in the present, ecumenical, and interreligious dialogue, both in Latin America and the United States.”
