Kathryn Tanner
“A richly evocative exploration of apocalyptic's ambiguous possibilities.... Inspiring in the fullest personal, political, and religious senses of the term.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Drawing the reader through her own beautifully written expressions of beauty, joy, and clear-eyed hope, [Moe-Lobeda] helps us recognize uncomfortable truths about the current environmental crisis while providing uplifting and empowering tools and resources to move us along together in a healing journey toward a better, more life-giving future for the whole earth.”
World Religions
“By putting religious fundamentalism in a comparative and global context, Clarke persuasively shows how shared religious themes in Christian, Muslim, and Hindu fundamentalisms promote violence and help further the spirit of aggressive competition rampant in today’s world. This is an extremely timely, wonderfully wise, and astutely argued book.”
Feminist Theory and Christian Theology
Theology
“A crucial contribution...The book...combines an introduction to feminist studies in a variety of fields with both the rich stories of women's lives and a historically sensitive rereading of Christian doctrines..."”
Theology
“Worship, with all its promise and peril, takes center stage in this beautifully written little systematic theology by one of the best young theologians in America today. Worth reading for its illuminating treatment of Barth alone, this is a must-read for anyone interested in how religious life is a weave of both sin and salvation. With its erudition wrapped in an entertaining, accessible style, Boulton's book is systematic theology at its finest: fresh, provocative, and compelling.”
Theology
“Welker helps make Jesus Christ come alive for us today by tackling the many theological challenges that obstruct recognition of God in our midst. In the process he offers a wonderfully complex account of our encounter with God in Christ in all its polyphonic and multidimensional reality. A compelling and wise book.”
Theology
“Sheila Davaney lays out, with all the clarity, cogency, and thorough-going intellectual honesty she is so well known for, the challenges that historicism poses to theology.... Undaunted by these challenges, she offers a powerful account of how theology can meet them and in the process brings together, in a marvelously irenic spirit, some of the best insights of contemporary theological trends in the United States.”
Theology
“How might Christianity help people heal from the psychological damage done to them by the senseless horrors of life? In a path breaking interdisciplinary work that spans the fields of theology, psychology, and religion and literature, Sally Stamper offers her own astute account of what it would take for religious meaning-making to be an effective psychological balm when coping with potentially life shattering, traumatic events.”
Theology
“Theologically informed, church-oriented ways of reading Scripture are given wonderfully sustained attention in Brad East’s new book. Focusing on Karl Barth and subsequent theologians influenced by him, East uncovers how differences in the theology of Scripture reflect differences in the understanding of church. Ecclesiology, East shows, has a major unacknowledged influence on remaining controversies among theologians interested in revitalizing theological approaches to Scripture. With this analysis in hand, East pushes the conversation forward, beyond current impasses and in directions that remedy deficiencies in the work of each of the theologians he discusses.”
This Incredibly Benevolent Force
Theology
“Originally given as the prestigious Warfield Lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary, This Incredibly Benevolent Force holds many surprises. In and through them, if the author is right, one may hope that a force working for good will emerge, running like a current between this book and its readers.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Teaching takes center stage in these wonderfully compelling recommendations for reinvigorating theological education today. Breaking through the narrow confines of academic norms, Jordan demonstrates in his own beautifully crafted and deeply affecting prose how theological instruction might regain the persuasive power to transform embodied lives.”
