Courage Beyond Fear

Discipleship & Christian Education

“How often is it that clergy and faculty, concerned about the future of the Church and schools of theology, get together to offer their thoughts about critical moments of change and crisis? Not often enough. The authors of the chapters within this book—through sermons and reflections—detail painful vocational experiences, national crises, and the ongoing impact of racism in each of our lives. An excellent and much-needed text.”

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Otherness and Ethics

Philosophy

“At a time when our world struggles with cultural and personal differences, Seong offers a brilliant read of Levinas and Kongzi to give insight into the ethics of otherness. Especially engaging is his analysis of ren—‘love to others through the awareness of otherness’—that is critical to Confucian morality in conversation with Levinas’ conception of response-ability. Readers will find this intricate work important to the fields of philosophy, ethics, and theology. Seong’s concise critique to Euro-American-centered cross-cultural approaches is a needed addition to ethical discourse.”

Retreating Forward

“At a time when hate violence disproportionately affects trans women of color, David Weekley offers an insightful model for transgender and gender non-conforming persons. Weekley's retreat model study is a compelling cutting-edge resource. His carefully crafted observations and analyses will be of interest to those who are in ministry with marginalized communities.”

The #BlackLivesMatter Movement

Theology

“Donalson’s The #BlackLivesMatter Movement is an important analysis of the theology and ethical perspectives of Black pastors and scholars regarding the most significant liberation movement of our era. He reveals—through the outcomes of his survey and focus group material—the ways Black Christian leaders consistently challenge theological equality for LGBTQI+ people while demanding justice for all other Black lives. Donalson’s book is a great resource and reminder of the work that must continue.”

Wake Up Running

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is a deeply engaging text that draws the reader into movements of crossing, imagining, and homing. Grounded in a rich interplay of personal experience, history, biblical reflection, and key artistic works, Fluker's analysis consistently orients itself toward the demands of ethical leadership in our time. The result is an invaluable resource for those concerned with the future of democracy and freedom in our society, as well as the ethical commitments required in their pursuit.”
