Building a Culture of Peace

History & Biography

“Always a minority but always passionate about living into peace, the BPFNA has been a beacon of hope for peace-and-justice Baptists all over the world. This story needed to be told. Paul Dekar, as a life-long activist and good historian, brings it to life, reminding us in a lively way--through real people and events--of the centrality of following Jesus our peacemaker.”

Contextual Theology

Theology

“This book is the best treatment of contextual theology I have read. Professor Matheny has written a succinct, informed, critical, balanced, and passionate defense of theology as a response to God's revelation in the concrete contexts of life. He shows that to take context seriously in conversation with the Christian 'text' is not a fad--to be either rejected or uncritically adopted--but a mark of all authentic and self-aware theologizing, whether in a seminary or favela.”

Contextual Theology for the Twenty-First Century

Theology

“Rarely do collections of contextual theology deal with both specific contexts and more general questions of contextual method. In this compact collection every essay grapples with both aspects in a lively way. It is on the forefront of missiological thinking. A significant book with some real gems, particularly for Australasia and the South Pacific, but ranging beyond the region.”
