And We Shall Learn through the Dance

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Having been moved by seeing Kathleen Turner dance in worship, I was delighted to read her thorough and fascinating exploration of the historical and spiritual depths out of which such prayerful dance arises. She draws upon tradition and theories of knowing to vitalize the ministries of dance for today. The book is a rich resource for seminary classes and gives congregations a theological understanding of the transformative role dance can play in education and worship.”

Preaching Creation

Preaching & Worship

“What word can preachers bring to human creatures who are putting the earth at risk? Holbert answers the question with incisive biblical interpretation, scientific knowledge, and lively sermons. He dispels the misuse of religious faith to deny or ignore the environmental crisis, and he demonstrates how to preach a scientifically informed faith that honors the Creator by redefining our role as lovers and partners of the natural order. An essential book for preachers now.”

Women

“By drawing on tradition to challenge tradition, this book models how a feminist hermeneutic can revitalize tradition. The preface, liturgies, and songs reveal a sophisticated theological mind blessed with the gift of poetic expression.”
