“Rieger's God and the Excluded continues his pathbreaking work in constructive theology begun in Remember the Poor. As he critically rereads the major theological options from the perspective of the excluded members of our global society (that is, the other), Rieger demonstrates the parallel displacement of the divine Other. Through the intersection of perceptive social and theological analysis and guided by Lacanian theory, he issues a powerful call for liberating and transforming both contemporary theological discourse and oppressive socioeconomic and political structures.”
Theology
“Finally, an informed and well-written theological treatment of economics. Carefully and creatively, Meeks renders a theological critique of our present situation and offers a constructive vision for God's 'law of the household' in our life together. His book is a model of much-needed theological reflection, providing a public voice where Christianity ahs for too long remained silent. It should be priority reading for all Christians concerned about economics and politics.”
Theology
“Sallie McFague's new book is alive and moving, but also clear and simple. She offers us a real, substantive vision of Christianity for the new century--one that means something and demands something from us. And she is pretty clear about what that is! Writing accessibly about theology and economics, she helps us think through the really big questions of our day (the ones so big that we easily miss them) and find the resources for a working theology and abundant living for all.”
Theology
“Practicing Theology envisions and embodies a way of theological reflection that is realistic, inspirational, and provocative. Thirteen distinguished theologians show us how theology can embrace life and engage in ministry and how it both shapes and is shaped by Christian practice. The essays examine topics such as hospitality, healing, justification, and discernment in order to explore the relationship of beliefs and practices. This is a must read for everyone who asks the question: does theology really matter? The answer, according to these theologians, is a resounding yes.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Stony the Road We Trod works out of the powerful interfacing of the heritage of African American Christianity and the presence of African American scholars in theological academies of the US. I want to read it as both challenge to and expression of theologies of prophetic pragmatism.”
Theology
“Kathryn Tanner's The Politics of God clearly and forcefully addresses Christian beliefs and practices about God and the world. Consistently applying the art of internal critique, Tanner offers a reconstruction of Christian tradition as a prophetic challenge to the political status quo.”
Theology
Foreword
“These Three: The Theological Virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love is a travel companion for those on the Christian path in the contemporary world. The book does not offer obtuse methodological debates or cuddly spiritual assurances. It is not easily categorized as academic theology or popular religious spirituality. Rather, with power and grace, the book provides pathways for Christians to live in a radical relation to God, others, and the world.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“This book provides a new map to see theological education, and Kelsey charts the territory that we all know in powerful and surprising new ways.”
