Power, Agency, and Women in the Mission of God
Evangelism & Missions
“Illuminating and inspiring, this book presents intercultural and interdisciplinary conversations on the crucial roles played by women in God’s mission, the barriers they face, and their determination to claim power and leadership against discrimination. The various case studies offer hope and vision for the future.”
Reading the Bible in a Secular Age
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Many books on the Bible have been written for Christians. This book is boldly written for secular readers who want to know the spiritual ancestors of the New Testament. Well-written and accessible, this book is a gift and can be used in classrooms, churches, and youth groups. I highly recommend it.”
Sunburnt Country, Sweeping Pains
Women
“This pioneering book showcases the leadership and ministry of Asian Australian women and explores discrimination and barriers they face. Using an intersectional approach that includes race, gender, class, and migration, this book contributes to our understanding of the changing face of world Christianity. I highly recommend it.”
Teaching for a Culturally Diverse and Racially Just World
Discipleship & Christian Education
“In this groundbreaking book, racial and ethnic minority teachers in theological education, and their white allies, discuss changes in pedagogy, curriculum, institutional life, and governance necessary to advance the cause of racial justice and cultural diversity. I recommend this exciting volume enthusiastically.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Ahn’s book is a clarion call for churches to carry out their mission by engaging in rhizomatic politics for the least among us. Challenging traditional notions of church and state, it offers fresh insights for political organizing to combat cynicism, inertia, and pessimism. A prophetic text for our critical time!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Eros has been politicized and sexualized, but how can it be theologized? This anthology offers fresh perspectives on Eros, desire, and sexual identities in the long Christian tradition and provocative insights in Erotic Theology. Well-conceived and written in accessible language, this volume is invaluable for both students of theology and the educated public.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“After police brutality in Ferguson and in other cities, this courageous book, updated and expanded, is most timely and needed. It should be studied in churches, seminaries, and classrooms to help develop a counter-politics based on a prophetic reading of the way of the cross against American imperialism.”
Theology
“A significant and provocative text in Asian North American theology! Using a multi-faith interpretive method, Dr. Kim breaks new ground in constructing Jesus Sophia from a bicultural Korean and North American context. Her book engages contextual theology, feminist theology, and interreligious hermeneutics, and makes a critical contribution to theological method for an increasingly religiously pluralistic North America.”
Toward a Micro-Political Theology
Theology
“Chen’s book brings Foucault into conversations with liberation theologies, showing the ways Foucault’s analyses of power relations, sexuality, and subjectification can correct liberation theologies’ blind spots. Toward a Micro-Political Theology opens new avenues for thinking about social change and everyday resistance. I recommend it enthusiastically.”
Towards an Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This groundbreaking volume charts the development of a leading Asian American feminist biblical scholar’s hermeneutical journey. Each chapter disrupts traditional biblical criticism by asking new questions and opening new vistas. The book will become a standard reference for all who want to learn how identity, race, gender, sexuality, and materiality intersect in biblical interpretation from an Asian American perspective. It is a work of tremendous originality, wit, and insight.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“With raw energy and honesty, Cedar Monroe offers an insider's view of the culture and struggles of America's poor working class and bears witness to their search for hope, home, and dignity amid violence, drugs, eviction, and death. This is a must-read to understand the human sacrifice of the American empire.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This passionate book debunks the collusion of Christianity with whiteness and envisions an inclusive church and community. Grace Ji-Sun Kim uses her personal history to illustrate the devastating results of racism, colonialism, sexism, and classism. It is a valuable resource in our global racial reckoning and for us to imagine beyond a white God.”
