SCM Press How to Build the Church of the Future
Trade Review"This powerful book understands that the personal is political and the political is theological. Its authors offer a challenge to power and privilege in the church, daring to imagine God’s justice in its place. Their celebration of how far we have come, after 20 years of Inclusive Church, is tempered by the truth of how far we still have to journey before we are a church that honours the God of the margins, a church that has room for all God’s people. “The work is not finished,” in Fiona MacMillan’s words, “but something has begun”. -- Naomi Lawson-Jacobs"...brings together cries from the depths of exclusion, pain and grief, with a burning vision of God’s expansive love and grace, in a prophetic, multi-voiced, gospel call to repentance, belonging, justice and joy. Let the Spirit, through the pages of this book, encourage and challenge you, teach and transform you, and even – miracle of miracles – give you hope for the Church!" -- Al BarrettTable of ContentsContributors Foreword – Rachel Mann Introduction - Dan Barnes-Davies 1 ‘What is Inclusion?’ by Ruth Wilde 2 ‘Belonging Together’ by Michael Jagessar 3 ‘Building Bridges’ by Ruth Hunt 4 ‘Poverty Has a Woman’s Face’ by Loretta Minghella 5 ‘Dismantling Whiteness & Deconstructing Mission Christianity’ by Anthony Reddie 6 ‘Still Calling from the Edge’ by Fiona MacMillan 7 ‘What Might a Trans-Affirming Church look like?’ by Jack Woodruff 8 ‘Carnival and Chaos!’ by June Boyce-Tillman 9 ‘The Church of the Future’ by Ruth Wilde Epilogue – ‘Beyond Inclusion’ – An Interview with Nick Bundock

SCM Press Being Real
Trade ReviewIn a day when social media coaxes us to boast, brag, and grandstand, social media usually wins. The apostle Paul chose, too, to boast but he flipped the script upside down. He boasted over and over about his sufferings and hardships. He did so not to brag about accomplishments; not to draw attention to himself; and not because he was a compulsive complainer. He did so because his theology of the cross so permeated his thinking and pastoring that he saw in his suffering the way of the cross of Jesus Christ. Plyming's Being Real is an exceptional study of Paul that will prove to be an even more valuable book for pastors who need to turn down the social media and turn up the cross of Christ. -- Scot McknightThis is a very important book. Conversations about Paul and/or the Christian life invariably focus on ‘the good bits’: the reasons why Paul has been so influential or how we can live our lives as Christians in a way that changes the world. All too rarely do we talk about the hard bits: the times when things go wrong, when suffering is all we can see or feel. In this book Philip Plyming with admirable openness and honesty reflects not just on the sufferings that Paul experienced but on how that helps him to make sense of his own sufferings. -- Paula Gooder"Scholarly yet readable, this is a potent demonstration of just why Paul’s writings - and specifically his communications with the Corinthian Church - deserve to rank as the most influential letters ever written.” -- Tom Holland

SCM Press Boys will be Boys and Other Myths
Trade Review"The cult of masculinity in certain parts of the global church has resulted in much personal, familial and structural harm. Will Moore is one of the important voices in the emerging generation of British pastor theologians. For both of these reasons, the argument he presents in this his first book, Boys Will Be Boys, deserves careful attention and a wide audience." -- Helen Paynter, Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence"In this open, accessible book, Will Moore aims to shed light on the ways in which portrayals of men in the Bible have fed into accounts of masculinity in present-day church and society. Rich with examples from contemporary media and recent events, the book does not assume familiarity with scholarly literature in either biblical studies or critical masculinity studies, and will thus be of service to readers newer to these areas. Moore's self-reflexive openness to change and challenge invites the same of those who read his work." -- Susannah Cornwall, University of Exeter, UK"This is a deeply personal and honest piece of theological work engaging with voices from the Hebrew Prophets to Womanist Scholars, to Christian Rappers such as Guvna B! What Will Moore has done with success is draw our attention to masculinity, and it is this attention that is the beginning of what will set men, and all people free. Calling us to be attentive to our own complicity in violence and power, our reluctance to intimacy, gentleness and openness as men, Will Moore enables us to plumb the depths of masculinity, and to do so with an attentiveness both to ourselves and to our God.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Belief and Unbelief in Medieval Europe
Book SynopsisJohn H. Arnold is Professor of Medieval History at Birkbeck College, University of London. He is also the successful author of History: A Very Short Introduction.Trade Review'... by focusing on the laity over and extended period of time, he is able to highlight the multiple meanings, functions and even levels of religious belief (or unbelief) in medieval society. In so doing, Arnold presents a much more complicated picture of the so-called 'Age of Faith', and one which will be welcomed by specialist and student audiences alike.' The Journal of the Historical Association 'This is an ambitious book. In it, John H. Arnold presents a new and challenging way of interpreting the history of lay religious practices between 1000 and 1500 and the ways in which those practices interacted with the official positions of the church hierarchy.'

Random House Publishing Group Moses A Life
Book SynopsisLawgiver and liberator. Seer and prophet. The only human permitted to converse with God 'face-to-face.' Moses is the most commanding presence in the Old Testament. Yet as Jonathan Kirsch shows in this brilliant, stunningly original volume, Moses was also an enigmatic and mysterious figure--at once a good shepherd and a ruthless warrior, a spiritual leader and a magician, a lawgiver who broke his own laws, God's chosen friend and hounded victim. Now, in Moses: A Life, Kirsch accomplishes the wondrous feat of revealing the real Moses, a strikingly modern figure who steps out from behind the facade of Sunday school lessons and movie matinees.Drawing on the biblical text and a treasury of both scholarship and storytelling, Kirsch examines all that is known and all that has been imagined of Moses. In these vivid pages, we see the marvels and mysteries of Moses's life in a new light--his rescue in infancy and adoption by an Egyptian princess; his reluctant assumption of the role of l
