Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In an astounding feat, Climate Justice, Climate Hope enables readers to grapple with the role of racism and capitalism in the devastating realities of climate chansge, but without overwhelming us with despair. Malcom and mohaupt craft an accessible, fresh vision of environmentally just possibilities. They highlight stories of everyday business initiatives, neighborhood activism, and Christian faith resources that undermine planet-destroying, white-supremacist economic relationships and instead create bold, spiritually nurturing practices of equitable societal transformation.”
Philosophy
“As you try to imagine theorizing justice, test out these eight "fragments" and how Lebacqz and Gaudet have so astutely curated and interrogated them. While these eight must not be the only ones you engage in our wider, globally informed theoretical contexts, this text contributes a stimulating primer for such critical ethical discernment.”
Embracing Disruptive Coherence
Theology
“Talvacchia persuasively insists that ‘coming out as an act of disruptive coherence overturns exclusive normativities that enforce and sustain gender and sexual injustice.’ This book challenges and inspires by promoting deep thinking about how queer Christians and others can live authentically and boldly.”
Ethical Prophets along the Way
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Rufus Burrow has crafted a multivalent profile of the ‘ethical prophet’ through a striking array of leaders who exhibit divergent expressions of political courage, intellectual creativity, and bold faith. Each one inspires. Collectively they expand our imaginations about the ethical contours of individual leadership committed to anti-racism and spirituality.”
Preaching & Worship
“This book asks questions about how black preachers utilize their power that few religion scholars or churchgoers have dared to ask. It contributes a uniquely and insistently anti-racist approach to clergy ethics, especially the coercive pulpit practices of some preachers. Jackson requires her readers to think deeply and practically about a healthier new way forward.”
Postcolonial Politics and Theology
Theology
“A stunningly accessible and comprehensive map of postcolonial thought and global theology. With this text, Kwok Pui-lan gives us the gift of nourishing and insightful analyses of postcolonial geographies of race, class, gender, and sexuality that ‘challenge the Eurocentric preoccupation of political theology.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This text provides an integrative, (very!) specific, and accessible approach to Christian digital sexual ethics. It expands our Christian moral imaginations, equipping us for the current digital age and what it means ‘to recognize Christ in the virtual incarnations of others as we make ourselves known.’ Ott also helpfully updates gender violence realities such as digital sexual harassment and intimate violence. If you want to introduce Christian digital ethics with language for body-affirming sexuality and frank and accurate information, teach this book!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Gaudet have so astutely curated and interrogated them. While these eight must not be the only ones you engage in our wider, globally informed theoretical contexts, this text contributes a stimulating primer for such critical ethical discernment.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“With meticulous scholarship about economics and Christian ethics offered in easily accessible language, Rebecca Todd Peters has crafted a tour de force account of solidarity ethics. This is a resource teeming with insights for U.S. Christian audiences willing to honestly grapple with what it means to build justice-oriented global relationships in the face of the many structural inequalities and entrenched forms of U.S. imperialism that divide us.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This is the ethics book that we need. Right now. When cynicism, disappointment, and even despair seem like the only responses to whether empathy is possible across our social differences, especially in digital venues, related to sexual violence, or supporting immigrant rights, The Power of Mature Empathy boldly and accessibly describes how communal empathy can be a powerful resource for solidarity and justice-seeking.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Then They Came for Mine provides an accessible and frank mind-body-spirit analysis of the kind of Christian faith needed to authentically respond to Black people’s trauma caused by white racial violence. It is a timely resource for engaged faith community conversations about this violence.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Rieger offers a generative exploration of deep solidarity that 'deploys diversity rather than uniformity' and 'brings together the many to stand up for themselves.' Consistently dissatisfied with simplistic framings, he centers labor and class relationships, their significance for Christian theology, and how they matter for rethinking intersectionally about planetary thriving.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Densely packed with fresh, interreligious insights about the ethics of internal Black church congregational life, Reginald Steele’s analysis will deepen and shake up what you imagine possible for substantive and justice-oriented healthy transformations to occur.”
