History & Biography
“A much-needed and timely resource for any who are interested in the identities and history of Latino Catholics, or in the future of the Catholic Church in the United States. This collection of documents could serve well as a basic source book for a course on United States Catholic Latinos, or as a basic reader for any whose ministry involves the growing Latino community in the United States.”
Philosophy
“Finally! After decades of reading and interpreting Kierkegaard as the solitary--and somewhat eccentric--knight of faith, Perez Alvarez calls our attention to a different Kierkegaard, one deeply engaged in the economic and social issues of his time. In presenting a hitherto discounted and almost unknown Kierkegaard, this book not only corrects much of our traditional understanding, but also leads one to wonder why in the twentieth century we became so enamored with what was clearly a truncated view of the great Danish theologian.”
History & Biography
“With his exceptional capacity for simple teaching of profound subjects, Will Willimon invites us into his own story, which he reads from the perspective and the experience of faith. An exceptional example of theology at its best—not theology as a discussion of abstract doctrines, but rather theology as the discernment of God’s work in human life and history. Highly recommended for preachers of the gospel, but also for any seeking to live the gospel in its fullness.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book is an illuminating, challenging and well-written exploration into the hidden roots and unnoticed manifestations of racism. Reading it has helped me understand the frightening circumstances of our day in the light of our past. I recommend it enthusiastically.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“With her usual ability to ground education on reality and her enduring commitment to the theological formation of the people of God, Dr. Conde-Frazier weaves critique with guidance and challenge with hope in a fashion that well merits the attention of anyone seeking paths into the future of theological education.”
History & Biography
“While it focuses on the Brown Church and presents a dramatic and engaging picture of Brown experience and theology, this book is about much more than the Brown Church. It is about church, gospel, truth, and justice. It is about me who is Brown but also about you who are not. This is an important read for any who wish to be faithful Christians in today's context.”
History & Biography
“A unique, much needed, and well written review and reinterpretation of Protestantism and its history, showing both its amazing variety and its inner coherence, and combining detailed research with insightful panoramic interpretations.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A beautifully written, well-researched, painfully moving book that invites all believers to read Scripture in a new way. Reading this book involves pain, hope, and challenge. Any church community that reads it prayerfully will never be the same again!”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Sanchez has made a valuable contribution to our understanding of the book of Revelation in the context of Roman imperial mythology, and to the book's legacy of inspiring the subversion of imperial myths down to our own day. Biblical scholars, scholars of the Guadalupe tradition, and anyone interested in the ongoing struggles of peoples for their self-determination will find this an important book.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Pazmino has shown significant creativity in bringing the insights of liberation theology to bear on the discipline of religious education. He has done this in a manner that is directly relevant to a North American audience, and not merely to those curious about Latin American liberation theology. He writes clearly and succinctly, and his book could be valuable in courses on religious education in seminars and colleges. It is a must for curriculum planners and writers, as well as for directors of Christian education in local churches.”
Theology
“This book deserves the attention of believers as well as nonbelievers; of advanced scholars as well as beginning students. In it, believers will see that true faith leads to further questions and does not cancel doubt, and nonbelievers will see that there is reason in the answers of faith; scholars will see clear proof that when one truly understands something one can explain it clearly, and beginners will learn that faith is worth exploring.”
History & Biography
“This book is an invitation to collect the stories that are in danger of being forgotten. It reminds us to correct the traditional mode of telling the story of Christianity in the United States. At last we have good "photographers"--women and men with the ability to study particular moments or elements of our history and to do so with clarity and wisdom.”
History & Biography
“En este libro, el Dr. José David Rodríguez ofrece un excelente ejemplo de la historia misionera tal y como debe ser escrita. Al mismo tiempo que reconoce y celebra lo que él y su comunidad eclesiástica han recibido de la empresa misionera, Rodríguez, en lo que él llama una metodología historiográfica caribeña, presta especial atención a la manera en que la empresa misionera no entendió ni apreció el contexto al que se dirigía. Lectura recomendada no solo para luteranos y puertorriqueños, sino también para cualquier persona interesada en la interacción de culturas y agendas a menudo involucradas en la comunicación del Evangelio.”
Theology
“Maraginality is a book that every Christian concerned about the meaning of the gospel today ought to ponder. In particular, for those of us who belong to the 'mainline' denominations, the book forces us to face the question: In a world in which so many are marginalized, can a church call itself both "mainline' and 'Christian'?”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“I would be hard-pressed to name any other resource that even approaches this series in its visionary outlook and wide perspective on the challenges and opportunities currently facing theological education. The authors represent an unparalleled selection of leaders in theological education whose views and experiences point to different paths into the future, all leading to true excellence and relevance in theological education.”
Theology
“In your hands, this book may feel like a small book, but it is a very big book! It is big not because of the number of pages but rather because its brevity makes it an unexcelled basic introduction to Latina and Latino readings of Scripture. It is big because it shows the depth and the nature of our commitment to Scripture. It is big because it tells the church at large that the Bible is still relevant in our day and will be relevant wherever believers are willing to take the risk of reading it with new eyes.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“A fascinating and fruitful guide for reading and living out Scripture. If you believe that the Bible has something important to say but find that Bible studies are often tedious, repetitive, or confrontational, this book is for you. If you wish to hear the Bible anew, this book is for you. If you are part of a Bible study group that seems to have lost its original energy, this book is for you.”
Rescuing the Gospel from the Cowboys
Evangelism & Missions
“A compelling witness and call to acknowledge the power of the gospel across cultural lines, in spite of colonial and neo-colonial oppression and distortion.”
