Discipleship & Christian Education
“No issue is more consequential for faith in our time than the what, why, and how of theological education. This collection, from some of the field’s emerging and already renowned scholars, offers great wisdom for this most strategic enterprise.”
“Brett Webb-Mitchell's concern for people with disabilities has lent him a unique perspective that can broaden the horizon for all religious education. This perspective comes to harvest in Christly Gestures. Here he urges us to be faithful to the incarnation — even in our mode of teaching — to 'make flesh' the word we teach, engaging bodies to embody the gospel in daily life.”
Theology
“Ever intent to integrate theology and Christian living, Rick Osmer has been a pathfinder for the rest of us in Practical Theology. This fine collection of essays by leading scholars is a fitting testimony to his rich and varied contributions across the years.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“When Jesus began a parable—as he so often did—with ‘the reign of God is like . . .’ he was surely engaging people’s imaginations, inviting them to begin with their own reality and to imagine from there their way forward into the reign of God. This is the pedagogy that Pat Manning favors in Converting the Imagination. In our era, when people find ‘reasoning’ less persuasive, engaging their imaginations is a crucial strategy for educating-in-faith. Manning does this very well!”
Doing Theological Double Dutch
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Doing Theological Double Dutch clearly establishes Lakisha Lockhart-Rusch as a leading young scholar in the international field of religious education. In this creative and courageous text, she brings together the liberating and humanizing potential of play with a powerful womanist pedagogy, all to break new ground for educating in faith that is emancipatory for all.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Prisms of Faith reflects the best scholarship of contemporary Catholic religious education and catechesis. It holds great potential to renew our efforts at sharing the faith in our postmodern world. It is also a fitting tribute to someone who has done this so well for so long--Professor Tom Walters.”
Seventy Images of Grace in the Epistles . . .
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Norma Cook Everist has created an engaging, inspiring, and above all a most usable book here. Though Paul writes repeatedly of 'God's abundant grace,' this book has helped me realize how abundant it is, and most effectively in the predicaments of life. Its engaging stories are all about 'us' and how, bidden or unbidden, God's grace is ever at work in our daily lives. This makes it an invaluable resource in the educational and pastoral ministries of the Church.”
Story, Ritual, Prophecy, Wisdom
Discipleship & Christian Education
“I highly recommend Story, Ritual, Prophecy, Wisdom by Mark Hamilton and Samjung Kang-Hamilton. Written in a clear and engaging style and drawing upon some of the best of classic and contemporary scholarship in religious education, it offers much practical wisdom for effective education in Christian faith for our time.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Courtney Goto's book, The Grace of Playing, is a major breakthrough, heralding the place of play in education and especially in educating religiously. It opens us to a source of grace that heretofore has been generally neglected. Ours is surely a time that needs to embrace and celebrate the gift of play--and it is 'free' (gratia).”
Christian Living
“When it comes to nonviolent and sustainable living, the most prophetic people I've met in my journey are Brayton and Suzanne Shanley. The Many Sides of Peace is a beautiful book arising from how well they walk the walk and talk the talk. Treat yourself to the discomfort it will cause, even while it gives you hope.”
