Christians in South Indian Villages, 1959-2009

History & Biography

“John B. Carman and Chilkuri Vasantha Rao here offer a vivid, thick, weighty, careful, and insightful analysis of on-the-ground Christianity in rural South India without ignoring the changing, passionate, and creative macro-dynamics that fuel Christianity as a global religion. . . . This must-read book brings to light and life the understudied workings of lived local religion in all its complexity, vitality, and fecundity.”

Interfaith Marriage

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Interfaith Marriage is a timely, discerning, sensitive, and practical book. In our global context, Pickard invites her readers to explore the potential for differing faith commitments to enrich rather than complicate the journey toward intimate marital harmony. Pickard interweaves personal anecdotes, informative ethnography, careful research, and the wisdom of specialists to put theologies of marriage in different religions in the service of peaceable and joyous interfaith companionship.”

The Art of Contextual Theology

Theology

“Ezigbo’s fascinating book disrupts Western theology’s fondness for navel-gazing by turning our attention to the body of Christians scattered across the world. Working from embodied communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, this resourceful book reconfigures theological method, expands theological capital, and reimagines theology to matter both contextually and globally. I want this in the hands of theological teachers and students in the United States and Europe.”

The Atonement Creating Unions

Theology

“Rev. Dr. Kesari has skillfully interrogated and innovatively reworked western atonement theologies to be of service to our age of World Christianity. Harvesting theological insights from Hinduism, this book configures a more spacious theology of the cross. Kesari creatively and persuasively constructs interreligious pathways for a more context-specific and yet globally relevant atonement theology.”
