Being Salvation

Theology

“Amid disputes about whether Karl Rahner gives enough attention to the saving significance of the cross, Brandon Peterson offers a fresh interpretation of Rahner's soteriology highlighting the key theme of Jesus as Representative. Of particular value is Peterson's analysis of how that theme is central to Rahner's early writings, including his untranslated dissertation. As Peterson demonstrates, it continues to echo through his later writings as well. A welcome contribution to contemporary soteriology as well as to Rahner studies.”

Hope in Action

Theology

“Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you,' (1 Pet. 3:15). A passion to respond to that biblical charge marked the theological work of Edward Schillebeeckx and Johann Baptist Metz even as their eschatological writings shifted and diverged. In this splendid volume, Steven Rodenborn offers an insightful analysis of how the distinct accounts of these two theologians of hope developed, intersected, and differed. Highlighting the strengths as well as the limitations in the projects of each, Rodenborn underscores their shared conviction that in a world marked by suffering, violence, and apathy, genuine Christian hope is always 'hope in action.'”

Inclusivity and Institutional Change in Education

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“What does it mean to give concrete witness to the truth of the gospel and God’s preferential option for the poor and marginalized in Christian schools today? As director of mission formation at a Catholic secondary school, Dominican sister and theologian Colleen Mary Mallon offers powerful testimony about what she and the entire school community learned in the process of discovering and addressing the dynamics of systemic racism and white privilege at work in the school’s culture and their own lives in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. Sr. Mallon’s honest reflections, wise insights, frank admissions of inevitable limits and failures, challenging questions, and practical suggestions offer inspiration and hope for others called to raise similar questions in their own communities and lives—which is to say, all of us.”

My Burden Is Light

Preaching & Worship

“The most important questions in preaching, as in life, are often the most basic ones. Drawing from his experience as preacher, professor of homiletics, and liturgical scholar, as well as ELCA bishop, Craig Satterlee issues a series of profound challenges to Christian preachers as well as to those who gather to hear their words: What is the good news? How is it both 'good' and 'news'? What does it mean to proclaim Jesus as Savior in a way that hearers experience the power of the Spirit at work in their lives and world and are drawn to live the gospel more faithfully? Do those who are called to preach truly believe the words they announce? Is it possible for those who hunger for a word of hope to 'taste grace' in hearing the good news proclaimed? This book is a valuable resource not only for preachers and teachers of homiletics, but for all who are concerned about the quality of Christian preaching today.”
