Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Ever attentive to the everyday implications of our faith, Stortz explores the Gospel of John to see what traction it has for the present. Called to Follow reflects her commitment to identifying key practices that provide the relational glue for followers of Jesus in the journey of faith. I am eager to use this book in a Bible study in our congregation.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“With a seasoned pastor’s sensitivity Grafwallner shares stories, experiences, and wisdom from hundreds of people about a wide variety of issues related to faithful sexuality and our most intimate relationships. For some his perspective will be too liberal, and for others it will be too traditional. But in any case his brief reflections and stimulating questions serve as a ‘catalyst for conversation’ on a topic that the church ‘for the most part has been silent.’”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Aageson provides a treasury of thoughtful reflections on the ‘alphabet of prayer.’ The author has such a wonderful sense of God’s presence in the midst of ordinary life. Holy Ground encourages readers to approach prayer as a way of paying attention, listening for God’s voice in people, in creation, and in the events of our daily lives. This book will be fruitful for personal devotion and for group prayer and study.”
History & Biography
“Thanks to Newell for this inspiring account of ‘candles and prayers’ changing the course of history. It is amazing how the nonviolent approach of Pastor Christian Führer and the people of Nikolaikirche in Leipzig, firmly rooted in the teachings of Jesus, served as a catalyst in reuniting Germany in 1989. Newell provides a fresh take on church-state relations in Germany from the Nazi period through reunification, highlighting the witness of Bonhoeffer, Barth, and Niemöller.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“James Aageson exemplifies what it means to be a faithful, thoughtful reader of the Bible. What a blessing to have him share his decades of experience in reading Scripture! His essays, excerpts, homilies, and personal reflections will be fruitful for anyone committed to interpreting the Bible in context in faithful, but not literal, ways. Preachers will especially appreciate his homiletical examples of conversing with four iconic biblical texts.”
Radical Lutherans/Lutheran Radicals
Theology
“This fine collection of essays on Luther, Kierkegaard, Bonhoeffer, and Soelle makes a compelling case that Lutherans can be radical and radicals can be Lutheran! One can be deeply rooted in the Lutheran tradition and vigorously pursue justice. I appreciate Mahn's insights in the final chapter that radical Lutherans today will integrate social justice and ecological justice.”
ReEngaging ELCA Social Teaching on Peace
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Praise for ReEngaging ELCA Social Teaching on Peace What a fine resource for reengaging ELCA social teaching on peace! I plan to use it for an adult forum and a reading group in our congregation. Rodríguez provides a helpful survey of the history of Lutheran teaching on just war theory and pacifism, but his focus on just peacemaking is particularly valuable. I appreciated his candid, insightful assessment in the final chapter of the strengths and limitations of the 1995 ELCA social statement “For Peace in God’s World.”
