Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Can God Save the Church is a comprehensive and illuminating review of some aspects of life in and around the church, with which those who care deeply about its message, mission, witness, and legacy should be passionately concerned. Christian traditions are often assailed by conflicts of theology and discipline, contradictions of beliefs and practices, as well as compromises with trials and trends that readily betray the full measure and meaning of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This volume serves to enumerate some clear options for faithful witness and courageous service that would more readily reflect the essential and contextual purposes of the church's existence. Fresh concepts of God in ''Covenant and Change,'' or of ''The Church as a Communion of Faith, Life, and Witness,'' or even of the call for a vision for ''Christian Partnership for Social Change,'' all converge to make this book a useful tool for study, teaching, and radical reflection in seminaries, local congregations, and beyond. The postscript in this edition adds further challenges to the contemporary church's call for radical Christian witness and the relentless determination to work for God's freedom, justice, and salvific wholeness in human life. 170 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The recent Pixar animated movie Soul illustrates what happens when we are caught up into something. The movie uses the common language of being ''in the Zone.'' Another word for this is being in the state of ''play.'' Spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues are about normalizing a regular way to enter the zone or play of the Holy Spirit in a way that then empowers us for the rest of non-play life. Pentecostalism has exploded around the world, in part because people have direct encounters in play that empower them to act in new ways. This short work explores the nature of play and what happens in ''the Zone.'' 116 pp. Englisch.

One looks back toward the past, where salvation broke in; the other looks toward the present, where salvation becomes reality here and now.''This Way of the Cross seeks to use both eyes of theology. It is a Way of the Cross, with one eye focusing on the historical Jesus: his life, condemnation, death, and resurrection. It is also a Way of Justice, its other eye focusing on the Christ of faith who continues his passion today in his brothers and sisters who are being condemned, tortured, and killed for the cause of justice.''In the light of the perspectives and convictions acquired over the course of seven years of christological studies, I now present this Way of the Cross, which is meant to be a prayerful theology or a theological prayer.''Leonardo Boff, from the Introduction 140 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What did the Psalmists of Israel believe How did they practice their religion What impact did their faith in God have on the way they handled the struggles and uncertainties of life How does this speak to us today This book explores some themes which underlie the faith of the psalmists: for example, covenant, creation, law, justice, humanity, suffering, lament, restoration, and pilgrimage. Holding these together is the overarching theme of God's steadfast love throughout their history. The psalms are prayers and praises, often used in temple worship, some intimate and personal, many corporate and full of thanksgiving. Some are celebrations of the kingly rule of God over all creation. How do we Christians today approach this ancient hymn book, which is full of poetic imagination and deep spirituality How can it help our own journeys on our pathways of faith and hope This side of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus, can we hear in the psalms words of comfort for our struggles of faith, as well as joy in our worship, in today's confusing world 150 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is the story of a Christian community of El Salvador. Like so many other Salvadoran communities, this one is small and is a community of the poor. It is located on the outskirts of the capital city, between the fields and the slums, where there is no water system or electricity or school. The people here are poor and miserable, numberless and glory less. But there is one incredible thing about this poor community. It has a history and it has made history in El Salvador and in its church. Ten years of the that history will be recounted here - the ten decisive years from 1970 to 1980, with their crises, horror, and incalculable pain for the Salvadoran people. Yet these were years of measureless creativity, dedication, and heroism, too. In these ten years the people and the church of El Salvador emerged from anonymity and uttered a mighty word for the whole world to hear. This book was written by a priest who lived in that community. He is a European, a 'missionary, ' as he calls himself in the story, with a 'mission' like so many other foreign priests. He writes of what he has seen and heard, of what his hands have touched, and of the roads and sidewalks his feet have walked. This book is a song to the deed of a people and a church. A little people and a little church, but great in suffering, in fortitude, in hope, in commitment, and in faith. Their most visible manifestations are these communities. Their most shining symbol is Archbishop Romero. What dwells at the heart of these manifestations and these symbols is the faith of a people. John Sobrino, S.J., From the Foreword Only this kind of chronicle of the radicalization of faith in a life and death struggle may help explain how the conversion of the Salvadoran poor makes tyrants and their friends desperately cruel an ultimately vanquishable. Wish to God the point could be made without the crucifixion of so many. Jorge Lara-Braud, Professor of Theology and Culture, San Francisco Theological Seminary 112 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Contemporary Christian theology continues to struggle with the tragedy of inexplicable human suffering and the endurance of evil. The pressing issue of ''Where is God '' in seemingly godless situations provides the focus of Were You There Godforsakenness in Slave Religion. In this book, David Emmanuel Goatley investigates the doctrine of God in relation to the experience of those living under conditions of extreme oppression. In this experience of ''Godforsakenness'' Goatley finds an echo of Jesus' poignant cry from the cross, ''My God, why have you forsaken me '' Were You There approaches this question through a narrative methodology, particularly by examining the slave narratives as well as the spirituals that were products of the same era. Both these sources provide important ways of viewing the experience of ''Godforsakenness'' and the problem of God's presence or absence in the extremities and absurdities of human suffering. Using these insights as a hermeneutic, Were You There then proceeds to an interpretation of Jesus' cry of dereliction in Mark. 150 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Do revivals merely prepare converts for an enjoyment of ''pie in the sky by and by'' Do advocates of ''enthusiasm'' in religion have no interest in the needs of their fellow men Are evangelicals so heavenly minded that they have no sense of their social responsibility Critics often answer ''yes'' to these questions. This book will not silence all such critics. But if they carefully consider what the author has to say, their conclusions will be greatly modified. The author clearly demonstrates that revivals in one period of English history - the eighteenth - did result in tremendous social improvement. He shows that converts won in the Wesleyan and Evangelical revivals were largely responsible for stopping the English slave trade and abolition of slavery throughout the Empire. They also took the lead in prison reform, emancipation of the insane, and enacting more human labor legislation. The spotlight centers most often on the efforts of Wesley, Wilberforce, and Shaftsebury, but lesser actors in the drama are not ignored. Dr. Cairns shows that the motivation of these great leaders to improve the society of which they were a part is found in their personal faith in God. And he issues a clarion call for twentieth century saints to take a lesson in social action from their eighteenth and nineteenth century forebears. 194 pp. Englisch.

As a form it is equally adapted to private and to public worship. It ought to be taught to little children among the first lessons of devotion. But it should not be put aside with childish things. No degree of intelligence or fervor can render it unsuitable. It ought to be repeated at the family altar and in the public assemblies of the church. To a mind unprejudiced by the abuses of superstition and formalism such frequent use of it would naturally be suggested by reverence for the wisdom and authority of its divine Author.

Included is a sampling of engaging story sermons, illustrating how this style of preaching can be used in lectionary-based preaching.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In his teens, a young man wrote, ''I believe in no religion. There is absolutely no proof for any of them.'' After serving in the trenches of WW1, the same young man said, ''I never sank so low as to pray.'' To a religious friend, he wrote impatiently, ''You can't start with God. I don't accept God!'' This young man was C. S. Lewis, the ''foul-mouthed atheist'' who would become one of the most eloquent Christian writers of the twentieth century.David C. Downing offers a unique look at Lewis's personal journey to faith and the profound influence it had on his life as a writer and eventual follower of Christ. This is the first book to focus on the period from Lewis's childhood to his early thirties, a tumultuous journey of spiritual and intellectual exploration. It was not despite this journey but precisely because of it that Lewis understood the search for life's meaning so well. 196 pp. Englisch.

We are especially conscious of climate change and COVID-19. We underline that these challenges impact all people. In light of this reality, we use ten primary questions that all human beings ask, consciously or unconsciously, and then amplify each of the ten primary questions with nine additional sub-questions. We then draw upon one of the great teachers of spiritual wisdom (Buddha, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, etc.) with a brief quote and then write a short ''wisdom'' response to the question. By ''wisdom'' we mean a body of accumulated reflection about the character and meaning of life. Spiritual wisdom suggests an outlook or attitude that enables us to cope, a deeper way of knowing and learning the art of living in rhythm with the soul. We use the life experience of three authors, coming from different religious and cultural outlooks. 226 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study aims to read Jesus's foot washing narrative missionally (John 13:1-38). A missional reading is identical to a missional hermeneutics based on the literary-theological interpretation of the text. John uses sending language and formulae, and the frame of ''as . . ., so . . .'' throughout the whole Gospel, which clarifies Jesus's and his disciples' mission as integrated witness. In this literary context, the foot washing narrative signifies the integrated witness of Jesus and the disciples. The narrative consists of two parts: one, Jesus's symbolic action for his death, and the other, for its interpretation for the disciple community. Jesus's death, as his unique mission, results in purifying both his disciples and the world so that they might dwell in the holy union with the triune God. The disciples are sent into the world. Just as Jesus did, so must they proclaim Jesus and his teachings. Also, they should bear witness to him by living Jesus's life-pattern of self-giving, sacrificial love, and humble service. Their verbal proclamation as evangelism and life-witness cannot be separated to testify to Jesus and their identity. Finally, today's Christians, specifically Evangelicals, are invited to participate in the Johannine mission as the integrated witness of evangelism and life-witness. 264 pp. Englisch.

Work is increasingly seen as the new frontier for Christian mission. However, the church and theological colleges have failed to keep up with the interest among, and needs of, workplace Christians.This book is the urgent corrective that is needed, moving past Theology of Work 101 to much deeper encounters with God's word as it relates to daily work. These twelve academic papers look at work through three different lenses: the workplace, the church, and theological education.It is prefaced by Mark Greene from the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity, reflecting on what work, church, and theological education would look like if there was no sacred-secular divide. In the concluding remarks, the editors imagine a future where each domain is transformed by the gospel, working dynamically together for the life of the world.While academic in terms of depth of thinking, quality of research, and referencing of crucial sources for further exploration, this book is never dry. Rather, it's life-giving and provocative for every vocation, asking fundamental questions of the reader: What is the work that God is calling you to do How can the gospel transform your work And how well-positioned are churches and colleges to be at the forefront of transforming vocation With contributions from:Mark GreeneJames PietschPeter WhitePeter DochertyGordon PreeceKeith MitchellDavid FaggIan HusseyColin NobleAndrew MatthewsSarah BacallerSamuel CurkpatrickMaggie Kappelhoff 278 pp. Englisch.

She shows that an emphasis on unilateral and unconditional forgiveness puts disproportionate pressure on the victims of injustice or violence and misconstrues the very biblical passages--especially in Jesus' teaching and actions--on which advocates of unconditional forgiveness rely. 276 pp. Englisch.

It effectively exhorts its readers to understand, support, and participate in God's mission to rescue humanity and all creation from the damage and distortion of sin, and so bring about a renewed creation filled with God's glorious fullness. Working at the creative intersection of biblical studies and missiology, this study adopts a missional hermeneutic to overcome the scholarly neglect of mission in Ephesians. The book systematically explores each passage in Ephesians, delving into the characterization of God and his mission; allusions to Old Testament missional texts in Ephesians; and the portrayal of the apostle Paul and believers as participants in God's mission. A multi-faceted vision of mission emerges which encompasses God's actions in salvation history; the church as mediator of God's glory, reconciliation and grace to the nations; prayer; ethical witness; and verbal proclamation of the gospel. Reading Ephesians through this missional lens yields fresh insights into its purpose and context, and the richness of its portrait of mission. 300 pp. Englisch.

It blesses readers who engage with its message, but it may betray those who read it nonchalantly. The notion that the Fourth Gospel is easy to understand is an enduring myth. This volume takes readers on a heuristic journey to discover the Fourth Gospel's unique theological aspects, problematic historical matters, inimitable literary features, and various interpretive approaches using an accessible format and easy-to-read language. The purpose of this publication is to enable readers to appreciate the Fourth Gospel's wide horizon, so necessary to understand its narratives in their historical and narrative contexts. Like the prologue of the Fourth Gospel that introduces and gives perspective on how readers should approach the rest of the Gospel, similarly, this volume introduces and gives perspective to studies in the Fourth Gospel. The text is divided into three parts, which examine its independent theology and argumentation, various outstanding issues, and its interpretation respectively. This volume is suitable for a wide readership, from Bible study groups to pastors and from undergraduate to graduate students. 396 pp. Englisch.

Maness from among 163 articles published in the 2011 online journal. Each author was chosen for their expertise and decades of experience in the practice of pastoral care in their unique fields. How the practicality of grace applies in suicide, sex addiction, sexual assault, shame, hospital or prison chaplaincy, even in eschatology and forgiveness is covered by these veterans in the field.
