Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Luke Bretherton has written an impressively expansive, smart, and sophisticated introduction to Christian political theology. Each chapter offers refreshing new perspectives on important topics. Moreover, Bretherton brings together and guides us through a wide array of scholarly literatures, from secular political theory to the sociology of Pentecostalism to Hebrew Bible scholarship, while also developing his own distinctive, persuasive theological voice. Christ and the Common Life will surely set the agenda in the field for a generation to come, orienting Christian political theology in the direction of justice.”
History & Biography
“Katie Walker Grimes uses the most powerful, provocative new theories of blackness to challenge the Catholic Church’s complicity in racial injustice. Taking as its guiding thread the lives of New World saints, this book probes the disgraceful entanglement of Christian individuals and institutions in slavery and its afterlives. Grimes offers an energizing new vision for religious engagement on racial justice issues as she calls for the figure of the fugitive to take center stage.”
Theology
“A wide-ranging tribute to a wide-ranging thinker, Messianic Imagination is a fitting appreciation of Travis Kroeker. Moving with centrifugal force from the writings of this important religious scholar, the collected essays range from scripture to Simone Weil, from Augustine to apocalyptic. While Kroeker is already celebrated in the Canadian Mennonite academy, this collection will help others enter into the richness of his thought.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In this book Paul Louis Metzger offers an accessible, ecumenical, biblically grounded approach to Christian ethics that centers the sanctity of the human person. Motivated by deep faith commitments and existential concerns, Metzger develops and applies a distinctive framework to address the most pressing issues of our day. On genetic engineering and immigration, climate change and drones, and much more, More Than Things will equip the reader with new ways of understanding complex issues and with a rich array of resources with which to respond rightly.”
Theology
“Linn Tonstad is the best queer theologian of her generation, and she has written a superb introduction to the field. Tonstad lucidly explicates, and she judges, pointing to the limitations of queer theological projects that are insufficiently intersectional in their analysis as well as the possibilities being unleashed by a younger generation of queer theologians who adamantly refuse heteropatriarchy, racism, colonialism, and capitalism—all the while taking Christian traditions seriously.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In this passionate and expansive book, Andrew DeCort tells the story of Christianity with neighbor love at its core. Rooted in his experiences in Ethiopia, DeCort pushes past the clichés that swirl around love. From the Hebrew Bible to Martin Luther King Jr., from the early Jesus followers to Simone Weil, DeCort's inspiring stories will motivate readers to put neighbor love into practice in their own contexts.”
Theology
“Ruben Rosario Rodriguez is a passionate and energetic champion of liberal theology. While I am no liberal, I deeply appreciate the role Theological Fragments will play welcoming students, clergy, and those in the pews into contemporary theological conversations. Accessible, engaging, and wide-ranging, this book addresses the most important issues Christians face today.”
