Exploring Protestant Traditions

Theology

“This book is a wonderful contribution to historical and ecumenical theology. Exploring Protestant Traditions: An Invitation to Theological Hospitality judiciously surveys eight ecclesio-theological traditions of Protestant theology: Lutheran, Anabaptist, Reformed, Anglican, Baptist, Wesleyan, Dispensational and Pentecostal. This gracious work is a call to ecumenical hospitality that responds to God's hospitality and recognizes diversity in belief and theology among the particular traditions and communities incarnate in the church. I will use this text as a textbook in my introductions to the history of Christianity courses, and I would recommend it for courses in ecumenism. It is rich with personal stories, encounters in these traditions, and comprehensive descriptions of the theology, hermeneutics and methods of each tradition presented. This well-written and hospitable treatment fills a need for a survey of these important Protestant traditions.”

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The great medieval abbot and reformer, Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153), taught us that love is the only virtue that we share mutually with God. God loves us first and we love back. As Catherine Powell concludes in this wonderful volume, ‘From that holy place of mutual love, action springs forth.’ Being opened by the Spirit to the love of God in prayer, meditation, and contemplation leads to loving action towards the neighbor.”
