A Letter to Stressed Communities

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“As a theologian amidst urban complexities and oppressions, one often wonders about the book of James (correctly known as Jacob!). What was his role in the early church? How did he climb the heights and depths of complex ethical issues, logically yet deeply motivational. Graeme Finlay, with his structural analytical clarity, dissects the details of this earliest pastoral writing with depth. Study of each chapter will mark any moral person’s character and theology for decades.”

Nail Scarred Hands Made New

Evangelism & Missions

“Thirty years ago, a disciplined brother, passionate to serve the urban poor, came to stay. Since then global slums have moved beyond dispossession, begetting waves of prostitution, gangs, and street children to a generation of violence. In entering the pain of the violated while encountering the Holy Spirit, John has penned the core of an urban theology/justice spirituality of reconciliation and embrace--a solution to violence in the Latin slums. Unique! Read, weep, engage!”

Evangelism & Missions

“As always Scott Bessenecker's writing is insightful, eclectic and generates new paradigms. A brilliant missions administrator with a track record of mobilizing thousands, he speaks with authority at that cataclysmic discontinuity between the power structures of older US missions built on capitalist business models, and the global explosion of indigenous and youth-driven missions. Always analyzing emergent structures, he aptly identifies numerous themes, trends, breakdowns and new directionalities that enter into the core of the massive shift in the style of missional community that has occurred this generation.”
