Theology
“A radical, challenging theology, truly systematic in the yes-and-no style of the confessing church. Paul Zahl's twenty-five theses will initiate a new discussion about the subject, content, and method of a theology deserving of the name 'Christian.' This book will help clear up the fog of religious obscurities current today.”
Exploring the Range of Theology
Theology
“Be it in discussing Paul Tillich's philosophical theology, or Teilhard de Chardin's theology of evolution, or the theology of hope or the theology of liberation, it was always worthwhile listening to the spirit of John Wesley coming to us powerfully through Ted Runyon's contributions. This . . . is a collection of ideas for present and future theology, and it is so well written that anyone with interest can understand it. Whoever thinks deeply can write clearly. Professor Runyon is one of them.”
Faces of Latin American Protestantism
History & Biography
“José Míguez Bonino was predestined to write this comprehensive and illuminating book on Latin American Protestantism! He looks at religious developments from a sociological as well as from a theological perspective. This book will help Roman Catholic bishops to understand better what they used to call 'Protestant sects,' and it will help the very different Protestant groups to understand their mission in an ecumenical and trinitarian way.”
Finding God in the Singing River
Theology
“Finding God in the Singing River is a very courageous step into a hitherto unknown landscape of Christian thought and spirituality. Mark Wallace explores the presence of God the Spirit in earth community and in human bodies without giving up a Christ-centered and trinitarian theology. His work is postmodern but not post-Christian. I like his style, which oscillates between experiences and reflections, and I admire his passion for the creation community.”
Theology
“. . . brilliantly written . . . Douglas Meeks has succeeded in breaking through to a new dimension of theology. Political economy is no longer tabu. There, where the life and death of millions of people are decided, must theology, with its critique and promise, also be present and awaken awareness. This successful book will become the basis of many discussions and studies.”
Theology
“Frank Macchia understands the outpouring of the life-giving Spirit as the fulfillment of Christ’s life and mission. And so he rightly interprets the birth, passion, and resurrection of Christ from the perspective of Pentecost. . . . I am grateful for this book.”
Theology
“This is a new way of doing theology. Dr. Herzog's book is biblically oriented and is speaking a liberation language in the concrete trouble spots of our society at the same time. It may be the trailblazer of a relevant Christian lifestyle.”
Theology
Foreword
“After reading I put this book down with great surprise and decided to encourage students and anyone interested in theology in Europe, America and Asia to urgently and repeatedly read it.”
Theology
““We are standing at the end of the modern age, and at the beginning of the ecological future of our world if our world is to survive. Planetary Solidarity is a gateway to the green reformation of Christian theology, ethics, and spirituality. In solidarity we hear the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth, and see the earth is still taking care of us. Leading feminist theologians from around the world address issues of women and climate, climate crimes, and the dying earth. This rich book is an eye-opener and a ‘must’ for theologians and ecologists."”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book is authentic and convincing with personal experience and a great vision. In many corners of the world there is a new paradigm emerging, the earth community and participatory democracy, versus the old, outdated, and destructive paradigm of corporate globalization. Get out of apathy. A better world is possible. I read this book with a moved heart and new encouragement.”
Theology
“I am more than grateful for this book by Danielle Shroyer. It is not only true, it is also beautiful to live with God’s promise in the heart and God’s enlarging horizon before your eyes. The Boundary-Breaking God is full of memorable stories and quotable sentences, going with us as faithful companions.”
Theology
“A very readable, brief survey of Christian doctrine. . . . Possessing a literary skill that comes from a sharp eye and a good heart, Fackre offers us no 'story,' but something better: a stimulating and informative outline of Christian doctrine.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This unique book brings light into the dark labyrinth of human memory of wrongs suffered. . . . Miroslav Volf combines in an ingenious way his personal struggle with his own months-long interrogation as a Yugoslavian soldier under suspicion with probing psychological insights and theological reflections. His style is personal and inviting, and he is honest with himself and with God. This book is full of surprisingly novel and compelling insights. A masterpiece. . . . I know of no psychological or theological book that is as gripping.”
The Spirit at the Cross: Exploring a Cruciform Pneumatology
Theology
“Carolyn Tan's investigation into the Holy Spirit’s role in the cross of Christ is very important for a comprehensive theologia crucis.”
Christian Living
“This book is special and full of surprises. Rich in biblical traditions and church history, it develops a new spirituality of the earth and our senses, leading us to consciously smell and taste the divine presence in wine. In vino veritas, in wine we taste the energy of the creative Spirit on this earth and the new earth. I am grateful for this beautiful book.”
The Suffering of God in the Eternal Decree
Theology
“This is an excellent study of Karl Barth’s ‘theology of the cross’ in his doctrine of election and his Christology. The author digs deeply in Barth’s early period of the Calvin-Lectures and his Göttinger dogmatics through to Barth’s mature christological insights in the doctrine of reconciliation (IV/1 and IV/2). I fear the author is right with his conclusion: ‘Barth’s God is impassible yet at the same time passible.’ This abstract contradiction is due to the fact that Barth used the freedom of choice for God’s freedom, not the concept of communicative freedom. God’s ‘suffering in the eternal Decree of election’ is revealed in God’s suffering between repentance and faithfulness in Gen 6:6. Therefore I maintain the vulnerable and suffering God who is faithful to Godself and us humans.”
