5 Views On Law And Gospel
$31.23Christians generally recognize the necessity for the believer to live a holy, or sanctified, life. But they disagree on what sanctification is and how it can and should be achieved. Five Views on Sanctification brings together in one easy-to-understand volume five major Protestant views on sanctification. Each author describes and defends his own understanding of the doctrine. Each writes from a solid evangelical stance. In addition, the contributors respond to each other’s views. Five Views on Sanctification addresses practical questions such as: How does one achieve sanctification in this life? And how much success in sanctification is possible? Is a crisis experience following one’s conversion normal — or necessary? If so, what kind of experience, and how is it verified?

4 Views On Salvation In A Pluralistic World
$24.98Religious pluralism is the greatest challenge facing Christianity in today’s Western culture. The belief that Christ is the only way to God is being challenged, and increasingly Christianity is seen as just one among many valid paths to God. In Four Views on Salvation in a Pluralistic World, four perspectives are presented by their major proponents: Normative Pluralism: All ethical religions lead to God– by John Hick – Inclusivism: Salvation is universally available, but is established by and leads to Christ– by Clark Pinnock – Salvation in Christ: Agnosticism regarding those who haven’t heard the Gospel– by Alister McGrath – Salvation in Christ alone– by R. Douglas Geivett and W. Gary Phillips. This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for his view, but also to critique and respond to the critiques of the other contributors. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views — both Christian and non-Christian — on important theological issues.

People Of The Book A Print On Demand Title
$39.99This astute and challenging work by David Lyle Jeffrey seeks to characterize illustratively the historic commitment of Christianity to the literacy and literature of Western culture.
Against postmodernist tendencies to divide the historical commitment to meaning in Western art and literature as a regressive “logocentrism,” Jeffrey argues that the biblical tradition – the cultural and literary identity forged among Western Christians by virtue of being a “People of the Book” – has in fact given rise to Western literacy. Jeffrey here offers a fresh and generous look at the Christian “grand narrative” as it is reflected in Western literature, making apt use of the visual arts by incorporating a series of twenty-eight black-and-white illustrations that serves to enrich and fortify the story it tells.

Who We Are A Print On Demand Title
$48.99This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.
This timely theology of humankind gives an evangelical and Reformed perspective on what it means for us to be created in the image of God and shows how this image relates to contemporary problems of racism, sexuality, and our relationship to the natural world.
The second volume in the late Paul Jewett’s planned multivolume systematic theology – which began with God, Creation, and Revelation – this work brings solid biblical and theological scholarship to bear on the Christian doctrine of humankind, showing that our unique dignity as human beings is to have been created to live our lives before God, in loving responsibility toward God and other people. Excellent doctrinal sermons by Marguerite Shuster demonstrate how theological and practical aspects of the doctrine of humankind might be preached in local congregations.

Violence The Unrelenting Assault On Human Dignity
$25.00Newspapers daily document the violence that rends our times. Who can account for its relentless pervasion? Why is it also found fascinating or gripping? What is wrong with societies that produce it? Answers are elusive and fragile, renowned ethicist Huber believes. For, even apart from the gross brutalities of crime and war, he finds more subtle and covert violence in childrearing, family intimacy, schools, employee relations, entertainment, and competitive sports. Huber shows how the constant, everyday disregard of human dignity is a root of violence in all spheres, how the inviolability of dignity is the one absolutely necessary premise of countering violence, and how we can become personally vigilant in the service of human dignity.

Beginning And The End Of Religion
$66.65What is the subject of theology? These fourteen essays argue against the view that “religion” is the name of one particular territory that we may consider or ignore if we feel so inclined. That “religion” is a subject quite different from others, such as politics, art, science, law and economics, is peculiar to modern Western culture. But Professor Lash states that the “modern” world is ending, and in the consequent confusion is the possibility of discovering new forms of ancient wisdom that the “modern” world obscured from view. Part I explores the dialogue between Christianity and Hinduism. Those essays in Part II (six were published between 1988 and 1994, and five are unpublished) consider relations between theology and science, the secularity of Western culture and questions of Christian hope or eschatology.

Theology Of The Acts Of The Apostles
$46.65Who are the people of God? Luke’s purposes in Acts are to identify the Church, to establish the legitimacy of its gospel and to demonstrate that God was an active force in history. He shows that the communities of Jewish and Gentile Christians are the true heirs of God’s promises to Israel. This is a theological interpretation of the history of the Church within history: Luke is an artist, a narrator rather than a systematic theologian, but he writes about the roles of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit and of the Church.

Astonished Heart A Print On Demand Titte
$17.99This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.
Where has the church been, and what has it become? According to Robert Farrar Capon, the answers to these questions are in many ways dispiriting. Although the church has done much good, it has also made numerous blunders in its checkered history. Chief among them is that is has lost its astonishment over the Good News of the gospel – the gift of salvation we receive from Christ.
By taking readers on an illuminating ramble through the history of the church, Capon shows how we have lost this sense of astonishment by making Christianity into a religion that focuses on requirements and restrictions rather than on the Good News, and by turning the church, which should be a body of believers, into an institution that emphasizes its corporate functions to the detriment of its gospel message. After exploring all the ways in which the church had mis-embodied itself over the centuries, Capon explains how the church today might re-create itself. The key, according to Capon, is recovering the gift of astonishment with which it began.
Capon is fully alert to both the tragedy and the comedy of church history, and he covers this uneven ground with great heart and great humor – and genuine hope for the future of the church.

Future Of Theology A Print On Demand Title
$35.99This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.
Perhaps no other theologian of the second half of this century has shaped theology so profoundly as has Jurgen Moltmann. He appeared on the world theological scene with his Theology of Hope (1964) and took most of its capitals by storm. His subsequent works have kept him at the forefront of the modern theological enterprise, and the power of his vision and the originality of his method have inspired a host of new theologians. In terms of fecundity, Moltmann’s opus remains unmatched among his generation of theologians. More than 130 dissertations written so far on his thought – most of them in the past decade – testify eloquently to its continued attractiveness.
In honor of Moltmann’s 70th birthday, twenty-six of the world’s leading theologians – his friends, colleagues, interlocutors, and former students – have contributed to this volume on the future of theology. Moltmann himself has always sought to be both contemporary and future-oriented: his theology can be viewed as an exercise not only from the perspective of God’s future but also toward a new human future. Thus, a book on the future of theology takes up an aspect of “his” theme and “his” concern.
Yet this volume also makes a significant contribution to theology in its own right, seeking as it does to address the present crisis of theology. As Miroslav Volf writes in his introduction, “On the threshold of the third millennium, the presumed queen of sciences has grown old and feeble, unable to see that what she thinks is her throne is just an ordinary chair, uncertain about what her territories are, and confused about how to rule in the realms she thinks are hers, seeking advice from a quarrelsome chorus of counselors each of whom thinks himself the king, and ending up with a divided, even schizophrenic, mind.”
The essays in this volume attempt to revitalize theology as it confronts a difficult future. Despite the formidable obstacles that threaten the very survival of theology in the next century – religious and cultural plurality; the marginalization of theology in public discourse; increasing abstraction in the practice of theology; pressing issues of gender, race, poverty, and ecology; the seemingly archaic voice of theology in post- Christian societies – the contributors to this volume all believe in the future of theology as a vibrant discipline.
The Future of Theology is organized in three parts. “Challenges” deal

Character In Crisis
$23.50In Character in Crisis, William P. Brown helps to demonstrate that the aim of the Bible’s wisdom literature is the formation of moral character, both for individuals and for the community. Brown traces the theme of moral identity and conduct throughout the wisdom literature of the Old Testament, with a concluding reflection on the Epistle of James in the New Testament, and explores a range of issues that includes literary characterization, moral discourse, worldview, and the theology of the ancient sages. He examines the ways in which central characters such as God, wisdom, and human beings are profiled in the wisdom books and shows how the characterizations impart ethical meaning to the reading community, both ancient and modern.

Word Became Flesh
$60.00THE WORD BECAME FLESH by Millard Erickson The church first answered conflicts over the deity and humanity of Christ at the Council of Chalcedon in 451. But Millard Erickson finds Chalcedon’s definition too narrow and negative a response to the “Christs” of liberation, feminism, blackness, functionalism, universalism, and postmodern theologies, among others. There must be a new Chalcedon – a doctrine that confesses what Jesus is not, but also affirms all that He is. The Word Became Flesh returns the theological discussion to what Christ said about himself and what Scripture deems important to stress.

Faith Of A Physicist
$48.33“I do not find that a trinitarian and incarnational theology needs to be abandoned in favour of a toned-down theology of a Cosmic Mind and an inspired teacher, alleged to be more accessible to the modern mind.”
Many would likely disagree with the idea that a trinitarian and incarnational theology is palatable to the modern mind, for it is thought that science and the modern mind are in conflict with traditional theology. But physicist and theologian John Polkinghorne strongly believes that a trinitarian and incarnational theology is tough, surprising and exciting enough to truly stimulate the modern mind.
The Faith of a Physicist comes out of the invitation given to Polkinghorne to give the Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh, on the topic of “The Knowledge of God”. Polkinghorne chose to build his lectures on phrases from the Nicene Creed. Combining those phrases and his scientific experience, Polkinghorne offers illuminating insights into the nature of humanity, our search for knowledge, the way to speak of God in light of science’s understanding of creation, the believability of the accounts of the life, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, the role of the Holy Spirit, and eschatology. Thoroughly versed in science, and equally adept in Scripture, Polkinghorne offers his lucid explanation of why he feels it is reasonable to be both a Christian and a scientist. Fascinating, and well-written, Faith of a Physicist is sure to stimulate your mind, and broaden your knowledge and horizons. Polkinghorne will not compromise his views on the trintarian nature of God or the incarnation, and he proves that modern science does not require this, nor has modern science proved a trinitarian and incarnational theology to be false. An excellent reminder to take all thoughts captive to Christ.

Church And Ministry
$34.98This work comes to us from a career of careful research and reflection, is clearly and spritely written, and is, above all, timely. Debates over the nature of pastoral ministry have been endemic through the Lutheran tradition, and perhaps never more so than now. The author wisely enters his discussion not just on the movement from Luther to Walther but also on the Scriptures. Thus, the ordained ministry in Lutheranism is neither populist nor priestly. In addition, Klug leaves his comments on the views of others to the end of the work rather than scattering them throughout the whole.

Religious Liberty In Western Thought A Print On Demand Title
$31.99This is a print on demand book and is therefore non-returnable.
In this volume, several leading scholars harvest the best of Western thinking on religious liberty. An opening chapter shows how religious liberty emerged slowly in the West through centuries of cruel experience and growing enlightenment. Separate chapters thereafter take up the unique role of such titans as Marsilius, Luther, Calvin, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Burke, Tocqueville, and the American framers in the Western drama of religious liberty. From widely divergent experiences, these titans discovered the cardinal principles of religious liberty – religious pluralism and toleration, religious equality and non- discrimination, liberty of conscience and association, freedom of expression and exercise. From widely discordant convictions, they distilled the most enduring models of church and state and of religion and law in the West – from the organic models of earlier centuries to the dualistic models of more recent times.

Jesus Christ In The Preaching Of Calvin And Schleiermacher
$40.00While the effects of historical criticism on theology in the modern period have been well documented, their implications for modern preaching have been largely ignored. Dawn DeVries examines the content of and reasoning behind the preaching on the Synoptic Gospels by John Calvin and Friedrich Schleiermacher in order to ascertain their responses to the historical Jesus. By doing so, DeVries demonstrates that the shifting of emphasis in modern preaching from the miraculous aspects of the Gospel narratives to the “internal” miracles of faith has historical, intellectual, and spiritual grounding in the work of these classical theologians.
The Columbia Series in Reformed Theology represents a joint commitment by Columbia Theological Seminary and Westminster John Knox Press to provide theological resources from the Reformed tradition for the church today. This series examines theological and ethical issues that confront church and society in our own particular time and place.

Trinity In Asian Perspective
$28.99Western Christians often despair of finding meaning in the paradoxical statement that God is both “One” and “Three”. The problem, says Jung Young Lee, is not with the doctrine of the Trinity itself; rather, it is with the Western conceptual tendency to view reality in exclusive, “either/or” terms. The Trinity is at its heart an inclusive doctrine of one God who is nonetheless three distinct persons. In order to grasp this fact, we need different conceptual categories, not only with which to view God, but all of reality. The Asian philosophical construct of yin and yang can offer a way out of this problem, with its inherently “both/and” way of thinking. Drawing on a variety of East Asian religious traditions, Lee offers a creative reinterpretation of this central Christian doctrine. He shows how a global perspective can illuminate Western theological constructs as he establishes the necessity of a contextual approach to the doctrine of the Trinity.

According to Ottati, christological reflection is a way by which Christians interpret their present realities in relation to God. Christology is therefore a dynamic endeavor that must actively consider its heritage as it deals honestly and thoughtfully with present realities such as pluralism

In Reinventing Christianity, the first comprehensive survey of Christian theology in Africa to appear in English, John Parratt provides a critical yet sympathetic examination of the new ways of doing theology that have recently emerged from within the African church.
Following an introduction that charts the growth and development of African theology, Parratt examines the differing theological assumptions and methodologies throughout the continent. He also shows how Africans are rethinking the central dogmas of the Christian faith – Scripture, God, Christology, the church, and eschatology – and evaluates Africa’s political theologies, giving special attention to theological approaches to African socialism and to South African black theology. The final chapter exposes some of the problematic issues that can provide a framework for wider ecumenical theological debate.

Fundamental Practical Theology

The four movements of practical theology drive home the deficiencies of theory-to-practice models, while the five dimensions of practical reasoning and moral thinking underscore that this way of viewing things belongs to the philosopher as much to the pastor.

Engendering God : Male And Female Faces Of God
$30.00In this book, Carl Raschke and Susan Doughty Raschke argue that God’s own self-revelation is neither exclusively male nor female but both at once. With this self-revelation of the “two in one,” the authors contend that the Scriptures are actually a radical proclamation of gender equality. Basing their findings on historical, anthropological, and biblical scholarship, they make a compelling argument that this awareness of God’s dual nature was widely accepted and understood in the early years of Christianity but was intentionally obscured through the ages.

Cultural Disarmament : The Way To Peace
$30.00Panikkar’s passionate argument that the way to peace is, more than military disarmament, a disarmed culture originally appeared in Spanish in 1993. It is the result of many years of research and teaching on peace at the University of California, drawn together for publication when Panikkar received the Antonio Machado Foundation Prize. The fundamental thesis of the book is that victory never leads to peace; peace is an active receptivity that synthesizes freedom, justice, and harmony–not only among human beings, but also between human beings and the earth. Panikkar insists that the widely held maxim “If you want peace, prepare for war” be transformed to “If you want peace, prepare yourself for peace.” The desire for peace, he says, is pacifying in itself. This gentle call to dialogue is a most appropriate prescription in an age of fanaticisms.
