  • Guest In The House Of Israel

    $55.00

    In this thought-provoking book, Clark M. WIlliamson challenges churches and theologians to become aware of the inherited ideology anti-Judaism that has distorted their teaching, even on such key matters as Jesus, the Scriptures, the church, and God. Williamson bases his study on a wide range of confessional literature from Roman Catholic to Protestant doctrines. He demonstrates that both the people of Israel and the church stand in relation to God only by the grace of God and suggests a radical, constructive alternative to the “teaching of contempt.”

  • Taking The Bible Seriously

    $35.00

    J. Benton White surveys the many Protestant approaches to the Bible and then focuses on the issues raised by modernists and fundamentalists in this century. He gives special attention to the Protestant’s struggle with the question of how the Bible should be understood. By doing this, he helps individuals examine this crucial question and allows them to draw their own conclusions. White focuses on Martin Luther’s affirmation of the “Protestant principle” of the Bible alone, then follows debate up to the present.

  • Wisdom And Wit Of Rabbi Jesus

    $45.00

    Jesus was more than a supernatural figure, says William Phipps. He had much in common with teachers and shared many of the interests of rabbis, ethicists, philosophers, and satirists–from Alfred North Whitehead to Mark Twain, from Hillel to Socrates, Nietzche, and Russell. Phipps provides evidence of this in his new and thought-provoking book and then gives a broader perspective of Jesus, showing that he differed from the traditional ancient wisdom with his rejection of the ideas of female inferiority, nationalistic prejudices, and intolerance of the unlearned.

  • Prophetic Fragments A Print On Demand Title

    $32.99

    The crisis of religion in America, says Cornel West, is profound and pervasive: profound in that it deepens as Americans turn more desperately toward religion; pervasive in that it affects every form of religion in America, from Christianity to Buddhism, from reform Judaism to Islam. The rise of the religious right, the decline of liberal Christianity, and the challenge of liberation theology are all symptoms of this crisis.

    In this book Cornel West explores the landscape of this crisis in essays, articles, reviews, and even fiction. The selections outline the contours of a “principled prophetism” – a prophetic religion that incorporates the best of modernity and secularity (tolerance, fallibilism, criticism), yet brings prophetic critique to bear upon the idols of modernity and secularity (science, technology, and wealth).

    Touching on various aspects of Christian thought and action in our post-modern times, the essays in this book are informed by a revolutionary Christian vision that is so often absent from American religious life. They display the intellectual rigor that has made Cornel West a highly respected author and thinker – one who is not only a perceptive surveyor of contemporary Christian thought, but also a gifted shaper of that thought.

  • Philo In Early Christian Literature

    $50.00

    It is a remarkable fact that the writings of Philo, the Jew from Alexandria, were preserved because they were taken up in the Christian tradition. But the story of how this process of reception and appropriation took place has never been systematically research.

    In this book the author first examines how Philo’s works are related to the New Testament and the earliest Chritian writing, and then how they were used by Greek and Latin church fathers up to 400 c.e., with special attention to the contributions of Clement, Origen, Didymus, Eusebius, Gregory of Nyssa, Ambrose, and Augstine.

    Philo in Early Christian Literature is a valuable guide to the state of scholarly research on a subject that has thus far been investigated in a rather piecemeal fashion.

    Additional Info
    Before long, many of our Christian congregations will be perceived as cuddly, sentimental creatures who are studied primarily as skeletons in the halls of a museum. The church is in danger of becoming a dinosaur, according to church consultant and provocative author, William Easum. We live in a secular or unchurched world, but the church continues to develop ministries as if the church were in charge of a churched society.

    If we continuously fail to prepare our message for an anti-Christian world, we will disappear like the dinosaurs. Easum argues that while the substance of the gospel will not be changed as we make this shift, we must change the way that we package and proclaim the substance of the gospel.

    DANCING WITH DINOSAURS is for persons who are beginning to realize that much of their activity no longer works, and that what they have been taught about ministry no longer makes sense.

    This book will help pastors and church leaders to
    *plant culturally relevant congregations
    *explore first-century Christian communities as the primary model for viable congregations in a hostile world.
    *challenge complacent or arrogant assumptions of established church leaders.

  • Unleashing The Scripture

    $23.99

  • Jeremiah : An Archaeological Companion

  • Climax Of The Covenant

    $34.00

    With an eye to recent proposals on Paul’s view of the law and of his relation to the first century context of his theological thinking, N.T. Wright looks in detail at passages that are central to the current debate. Among these Pauline texts are some of the most controversial sections of Paul, which have often been treated only superficially in studies of Paul’s theology. He argues that Paul saw the death and resurrection of Jesus as the climatic moment in the covenant history of Israel and from this perspective came to a different understanding of the function of the Jewish Law. Dr. Wright succeeds to a remarkable degree in drawing together the themes of Christ and the Law in a new synthesis and in shedding light on many important aspects of Paul’s thought.

  • Mystery Of Christ And Why We Dont Get It

    $23.99

    Widely recognized as a creative, insightful writer, Robert Farrar Capon offers still more of his uniquely provocative fare in The Mystery of Christ . . . and Why We Don’t Get It. This engaging book probes the meaning of salvation – peace, forgiveness, grace, reconciliation – spoken of in the New Testament as a “mystery.”

    Reminding his readers, sometimes in startling ways, that salvation is a gift rather than a transaction, Capon uses a variety of dialogues to drive home the truth that “there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Along the way he explores guilt, forgiveness, love, anger, romance, grief, spiritual contentment, the Incarnation, reincarnation, resurrection, and more – and manages to make salvation something fresh and new in the process.

  • Texts Under Negotiation

    $19.00

    In TEXTS UNDER NEGOTIATION, WALTER BRUEGGEMANN issues a passionate call for a bold restructuring of the imagination of faith in our “postmodern” context. He contends that we need not construct a full alternative world, but rather to fund – to provide the pieces, materials, and resources out of which a new world can be imagined. The place of liturgy and proclamation is “a place where people come to receive new materials, or old materials freshly voiced, which will fund, feed, nurture, nourish, legitimate, and authorize a counterimagination of the world.

  • Passion And Reason

Through a collage of autobiographical narratives and feminist theologies Cumming Long constructs an unconventional approach to moral questioning, using the arts of cooking, painting, quilting, and weaving to illuminate how Christians must be creative in finding faithful ways to respond to God and to the social crises of our day. She examines welfare, reproductive choice, addiction, handicapping conditions, and AIDS within her ethical framework, and maintains that cooperation, dependence, creativity, and the compassionate use of power are the theological values Christians bring to an ethics that move us beyond patriarchy.

  • What Christians Believe

    $27.99

    What Christians Believe offers a general theology that will serve every group of evangelical Christians. This theology affirms the unity of the various confessions as well as the validity of diversity in matters of secondary importance. The traditional way of doing theology among evangelicals has been to set forth a rigid theological system and vigorously defend that system as the revealed truth. That appoach tends to emphasize the points of disagreement among Christians instead of the beliefs held in common. What Christians Believe takes the approach of contextualized theology — that is, with the recognition that all systems of theological thought reflect the particular cultural grid in which they were originally written. Thus theology is a discipline that reflects on the truth. And therefore this book offers dual perspectives on each theological concept, with Alan F. Johnson unfolding its biblical foundation and Robert E. Webber tracing its historical development in the church.

To actually change the course of another human being’s day . . . or week . . . or life.” This classic devotional is a treasury of thoughts on finding the encouragement you need — and learning to share that encouragement with others.

    Peculiar Treasures is the second book of Frederick Buechner’s lexical trilogy. He profiles more than 125 of the Bible’s most holy and profane people-and one whale. In his lively and witty prose, Buechner brings to life such moments from scripture as: Adam’s pangs of regret for a remembered Eden, Delilah’s last glimpse of Samson as they dragged him away, and Lazarus’s first impressions upon rising from the dead. To read Peculiar Treasures is to realize that many of these legendary figures are not who we thought they were. But they are-in their human dreams, ambitions, and imperfections-very much like us.

    Few parts of the Bible have captured the imagination of individuals in the way that the book of Jonah has. James Lim- burg examines this well known book, keeping several questions in mind: How did the story originate? What is its place in the Bible? How did the New Testament understand the story? How has the story been understood in Judaism and Islam? What might it mean for people today? And what does it have to say about God, about the human condition, and even about God and nature? In reviewing the book, Limburg gives special atten tion to the many contributions of artists, musicians, painters, and sculptors who, he says, may have been the best interpreters of Jonah. He also keeps in mind the literary dimension of the texts and takes great care to follow the divisions of the book as they were defined by Jewish scribal tradition.

  • Gospel For A New People

    $52.00

    This book thoroughly examines Matthew’s gospel – it discusses the appropriate methods for interpretation and considers in detail its origin, purpose, and social setting. Graham Stanton claims that Matthew wrote following a period of bitter disputes with fellow Jews. With considerable literary, catechetical, and pastoral skill the evangelist composed a gospel for a new people (both Jews and Gentiles) in a cluster of Christian communities. Stanton discusses redaction critical, literary critical, and social scientific approaches to the interpretation of Matthew; he argues that Matthew’s gospel was shaped by the “parting of the ways” with Judaism; and he includes two essays on the Sermon on the Mount and one on Matthew’s use of the Old Testament. Graham Stanton is Professor of New Testament Studies, King’s College, University of London, England.
