Local Church In A Global Era A Print On Demand Book
$25.99How is the church being affected by globalization? What does wider and more direct contact between the world religions mean for Christians? What is God doing in the midst of such change? This important volume explores the implications of today’s emerging global society for local churches and Christian mission. Prominent scholars, missionaries, and analysts of world trends relate Christian theology and ethics to five clusters of issues—stewardship, prosperity, and justice; faith, learning, and family; the Spirit, wholeness, and health; Christ, the church, and other religions; and conflict, violence, and mission—issues that pastors and congregations will find critical as they think through the mission of the church in our time.

God And Globalization Volume 1
$316.66In the late 20th century, the world has grown increasingly smaller because of advances in technology and the erosion of the nation-state as political paradigm. The process of globalization-with its promises of a common culture, a common currency, and common government-offers a new political model for the world that fosters unity and comminity. At the same time, however, this process threatens to distroy the values, norms, and ideals that particular cultures have wrought and established and to thereby diminish the power of each culture’s unique identity. As globalization occurs, society must decide which values will be narmative and what roles that social institutiions like religion and education will play in slecting and fostering these values.

Covenant And Commitments
$37.00Recognizing the inadequacy of current family values rhetoric, ethicist Max L. Stackhouse proposes a covenantal ethic of the family that accounts for the changing landscape of our homes and our workplaces. His brilliant analysis of how religious images of the family impact culture, the Protestant notion of covenated marriage in relation to economic structures, and the role of state welfare policies on the development of children constitutes a crucial turning point in the debate over the American family.

Apologia A Print On Demand Title
$29.99Apologia is about contemporary theological education – its current state and its future. While many current trends in seminaries and departments of theology bring important new insights to the study of religion, says Max Stackhouse, they also erode – sometimes unwittingly – the capacity to speak of God, truth, and justice with warranted confidence. Theology is thereby undermined in all arenas – not only in academia, but in the life of the church and society.
This book not only exposes the frailties of several current ideologies, but also draws noted scholars from five continents and a seminary faculty into an interdisciplinary discussion of the most significant recent literature on theological education. The results are fresh proposals for the reconstructing of theological education on foundations that are contextually alert, globally concerned, and mission- oriented.
Apologia is a ground-breaking work, a book that begins and ends in dialogue, and points toward the ways in which Christian theology will have to redefine itself if it is to actively shape, and not merely reflect, the context in which we live.
