A Liberation Theology of the Brain
Science & Faith
“A new advance on the frontier of postcolonial liberation theology! Taking direction from discoveries in brain science, Carmelo Santos-Rolón walks us step-by-step through religious experience toward other-centering, reintegrating the self, and authentic transformation. A great stride forward!”
A Map of Twentieth-Century Theology
Theology
“Theologians are finding a kind of amnesia, a loss of memory regarding the formative period of twentieth-century theology. The current generation of students has heard only the names of Barth, Brunner, Bultmann, Bonhoeffer, Tillich, and the Niebuhrs. Yet what is going on now simply cannot be understood in any depth without understanding this formative period. Exciting and forceful in their presentation, Braaten and Jenson bring this period and its questions to life for the benefit of all of us.”
“Filled with passion and tension and vividness.... Insightful and provocative, Keller's Apocalypse Now and Then is a most enjoyable reading experience.... A book not to be missed.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“By contemplating the lilies as Jesus would ask us to, our creator God shines through the beauty of nature. Veteran theologian of nature H. Paul Santmire evokes in his reader wonder, awe, and grace.”
Charles and Emma Darwin: The Option to Believe
Science & Faith
“A marvelous weaving of narrative with personality, science, and theology into a single historical fabric. How we today ask the question of God’s existence within the warp and weft of evolution is drawn in right here.”
Theology
“The incarnate Christ is an intensification of the cosmic rhythms. More than merely imitating Christ, we are invited to participate. That’s Heup Young Kim’s invitation to us.”
Encountering Artificial Intelligence
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This Vatican-inspired assembly of informed and insightful chapters provides our churches with what they need to apply traditional wisdom to discernment. Such discernment could then be offered to the wider world on behalf of the common good.”
Science & Faith
“Fasten your seatbelts! John Hart will take us for a ride above the stratosphere into the outer cosmos. In the rearview mirror we'll re-examine and re-evaluate our current conduct on our home planet. We'll re-evaluate terrestrial poverty, pollution, and political strife. Holding up the rearview mirror will be UFO experiencers, those who believe they have been contacted by an extraterrestrial civilization. I am delighted to see academic colleagues recognizing the potential value of analyzing the UFO phenomenon for political, moral, and spiritual purposes.”
Love in a Time of Climate Change
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Honor the creation. Strive for justice for all our planet's creatures both now and in future generations. Sharon Delgado reminds us vividly and forcefully how today's Christians have a responsibility for tomorrow's earth.”
Theology
“It’s high time the kenotic creationist theologians undergo a critical analysis and are met by a constructive emendation. Jongseock Shin describes a God of pathetic pain-sharing immanence. God does not withdraw redemptive power. Rather, God’s power fulfills the eschatological promise through a soteriological process.”
Theology
“It's time for a book on postcolonial public theology by an author who knows two cultures: both the colonial and the colonized. The Christian gospel is universal in the abstract, yet contextual in the concrete; and Paul Chung vividly and thoughtfully concretizes our theological agenda.”
Psalm 49 and the Path to Redemption
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Psalm 49 reminds us there are no pockets in a shroud; in death the rich and the poor are equally impoverished. Janet Smith takes us on a pilgrimage from death to life in the ancient world and in today’s spirituality. Informative. Interesting. Compelling.”
World Religions
“Weissenrieder and Etzelmuller tell us about the concept of illness, ancient and modern, to be sure. But more than that, they and their contributors tell us how to think about our body. Actually, if we are our body, then they aid us in thinking about our self. A must for the serious student of historical and self-understanding.”
Suffering and Salvation in Ciudad Juárez
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This gripping and heartbreaking analysis of the deaths of countless girls and women in a Mexican border city spawns a hermeneutic of social suffering that begins with the particular situation and then asks the universal theodicy question: what is salvation in the face of such evil? Salvation from feminicide requires a renewed community, a community which stands in solidarity with women. Nancy Pineda–Madrid reminds us: the radical message of the Christian gospel remains vital.”
Science & Faith
“The prolific and inquisitive Hans Küng guides us through the conundrums of Big Bang cosmology, evolution, and brain science, showing how science raises questions it cannot answer. God is the answer. God is a rational answer, based on a faith that trusts. Küng's is a grippingly lucid and insightfully thoughtful addition to the field of science and religion.”
Theology
“'Christians are Easter people living from and toward that Easter experience of a new creation,' Schwarz concludes. The anticipation of new creation makes life as a human being exciting and joy-filled. In this detailed and comprehensive theological description of the human person-in-community, Schwarz prophesies that we are who we are because of God's future.”
The Universe in the Image of Imago Dei
Science & Faith
“According to hybrid physicist and theologian Alexei Nesteruk, the dialogue between science and theology is an expected expression of human existential consciousness. That consciousness, in its depth, derives from the hypostatic union in Jesus Christ. Yes, our cosmos is Christ centered, whether we can see this fact through telescopes or not. Nesteruk’s treatment takes twists and turns that are as exciting as they are unpredictable.”
Science & Faith
““Our Trinitarian God is in the world, and the world is in God. Just how do we explain this so that God doesn’t get stuck in the world, like a fly gets stuck in flypaper? Joe Bracken has been trying to explain this for decades. This is his most thoughtful and illuminating explanation yet."”
Theology and Technology, Volume 1
Theology
“The church talks to the church through the same communications technology that envelopes the planet with an uninterrupted digisphere. Can faith understand itself as faith without corruption by digitized non-faith or even anti-faith? Theology and Technology critically analyzes Christian opposition, tolerance, and even reliance on the technological imperative.”
