Liturgical Press Befriending Our Desires
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Befriending Our Desires is a deeply considered and artfully written celebration of the human capacity for self-transcendence. Sheldrake plumbs the mystery of human desire in all its rich variety: its spiritual dynamism, the mature cultivation and direction of its intrinsic power, its relational implications, and its ultimate goodness. A beautiful and encouraging book."Wendy M. Wright, PhD, Professor of Theology, Creighton University"Befriending Our Desires is a thoroughly learned and readable book that offers a dynamic vision of Christian spirituality. Philip Sheldrake retrieves `desire' as a key dimension of a fully embodied, vulnerable, and authentic spirituality. Always informed by Sheldrake's deep knowledge of the Christian tradition, the book presents carefully nuanced readings of Scriptures, mystics, poets, theologians, and theorists while remaining in touch with ordinary human struggles toward growth. Delighted to see this third edition in print!"Claire Wolfteich, Associate Professor of Practical Theology and Spirituality Studies, Co-Director, Center for Practical Theology, Boston University School of Theology"The ache of the heart is the lure of God. Few writers explicate so clearly that intricate, yet intimate, interconnection. Philip Sheldrake does. He is truly a doctor of the soul, and this book is proof. Highly recommended for anyone who is searching for a more coherent grasp of their spiritual life."Ronald Rolheiser, OMI"An extraordinarily beautiful and honest account of the role of desire in the spiritual life. Not a sanitized version, but a fully embodied, deeply human depiction of longing that is bound up with our humanity but also mysteriously reaches out and into something not entirely nameable or knowable—as our longings so often do."Douglas E. Christie, Department of Theological Studies, Loyola Marymount University

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Lets Do Theology
Book SynopsisAn updated, new edition of a critically acclaimed set text on Contextual Theological Method. Let''s Do Theology is an intensely practical book drawing examples from parish life and educational experience in the UK and overseas. It describes how to strike the balance between unthinking but faithful action and careful theological reflection. The book offers a proven method for contextual theology, with full analysis and radical critique. It enables ordinary women and men to take part in the theological enterprise (democratizing theology).Trade Review...a classic text in contextual theology, and I welcome the publication of this new revised edition. I hope that a whole new generation of Christians will be inspired to move beyond just reading theology to doing it. -- Elaine Graham, Manchester University, UKI am very pleased because, as a Latin American liberation theologian, I find myself fully agreeing with Bishop Laurie Green's book. It is a book of authentic liberation theology set within the English-speaking context, utilising the same methodology both in theory and practice, in that it takes instances of human experience, analyses them, reflects theologically and proposes practical ideas for transformation. It is a book that invites you to do theology, without disparaging the great tradition. Additionally it provides a good summary of conventional theology and an excellent bibliography. I enthusiastically recommend this significant little book. -- Leonardo Boff, Liberation Theologian, BrazilSo many Christians today yearn to practice a faith that matters, a faith that is rooted in context and in the dream of God, a faith that changes lives and changes the world. Laurie Green answers that cry in this powerhouse of a book. He moves beyond ivory tower God-talk, mines decades of local and global ministry experience, and provides ordinary Christians with the tools to do theology as a way of life. If we're going to become the compassionate, hopeful people of God for a fast-changing, hurting world, we need wise and courageous companions like Green. We need this book. -- Rev. Stephanie Spellers, Author, Radical Welcome: Embracing God, The Other and the Spirit of Transformation. Priest and lead organizer, The Crossing community at St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, Boston, MA * www.thecrossingboston.org *Now a bishop in the Church of England, Green wrote the first edition in 1989 drawing on his 20 years of ordained ministry in Birmingham and his work with an educational psychologist. Writing for lay readers as well as seminary students, he describes a style of theology that pays close attention to the context. Central to his approach are the four phases of starting from experience, exploring, reflecting, and responding. Other topics include transforming theology, challenging implications, and other styles of theologizing. -- Eithne O'Leyne * BOOK NEWS, Inc. *A practical book, accessible and direct... a significant resource for all those engaged in leadership and learning, lay and ordained, within the community of faith. * Theological Book Review *I recommend Green's text for local leaders of faith and communities just beginning their explorations in this vital area of ministry and faith community building. -- Anglican and Episcopal HistoryTheological resources from Scripture onward were never meant to be hoarded. With generous and accessible hospitality Green offers this valuable gem of a book to the whole people of God. -- Fredrica Harris Thompsett, Professor of Historical Theology, Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, MALaurie Green's experience as teacher, pastor and agent for God's change informs every page of this accessible and challenging book ... a new and extensively revised edition which makes full use of developments in theological reflection and cultural understanding in the last two decades, and it retains all its freshness, insight and sheer groundedness in the reality of God's people working for God's Kingdom. -- Rowan Williams, Archbishop of CanterburyIn reading the new edition of Laurie Green's "Let's Do Theology", I had three reactions again and again. I wished I had known about the first edition of this excellent resource over the previous twenty years, because I would have used it in many settings. Every seminarian should engage with this book, so they can bring this clear-minded and warm-hearted approach to theology to their local congregations in the coming generations. -- Brian D. McLaren, author/speaker * brianmclaren.net *As a Dalit activist theologian I am amazed at Bishop Laurie's wealth of biblical and theological understanding. He challenges the western bias of traditional theology by explaining that every theology is contextual theology. The methodology he adpots helps every reader of this book participate with the author in 'doing' theology. He makes theology 'a tool for the transformation of our own lives and of the society we seek to serve'. This book is a 'must read'. -- Dr. P.Mohan Larbeer, Dalit activist theologian, Principal of Tamilnadu Theological Seminary, IndiaA tremendously encouraging book - especially for lay people! Ambitious academically and at the same time a challenge for individual and social life in a globalized world. In Laurie Green's book theory and practice are no longer seperated, as theology is brought back into the midst of our life - and things begin to change. Let's hope there will be a German translation soon! -- Dr. Hermann Düringer, Director of the Arnoldshain Protestant Academy, Germany"Accessible theology" might seem like a contradiction. Surely theology is a discipline for the professional specialist. It's not, as Bishop Laurie Green shows us in his marvellous book. Take a look. Theology is how we talk, think and act in relation to God and our neighbour. Its use is not to argue about "hot button" controversies but as a way to make sense of the mundane events of daily life. Bishop Green wants "Theology to become a tool for the transformation of our own lives and of the society we seek to serve." Laurie Green is a teacher and theologian but also a bishop with years of practical experience of pastoral care for thousands of people in city, rural and multi-cultural settings. He has written precisely for this purpose: to assist ordinary Christians find the words and framework to think and speak themselves about God in everyday life. St. Anselm, 11th C. Archbishop of Canterbury wrote about faith seeking understanding and proposed that each of us must explore our faith to the full capacity of our abilities. The First Letter of Peter tells us always to be prepared to give a reason for the hope that lies within us. Read this book. It is simple, direct, practical and wise. And make the connection between the best of our theological heritage and your own daily experience. -- The Right Reverend Colin R. Johnson, Anglican Bishop of TorontoTable of ContentsPART I: DESCRIBING THE PROCESS; Chapter 1: Transforming Theology; Chapter 2: A New Way to Do Theology; PART II: THE FOUR PHASES; Chapter 3: Starting from Experience; Chapter 4: Exploring; Chapter 5: Reflecting; Chapter 6: Responding; PART III: THINKING IT THROUGH; Chapter 7: Challenging implications; Chapter 8: Other Styles of Theologising; Chapter 9: Spirituality ~ Where will we find God?; Appendix: Survey of Sub-disciplines; Selected bibliography and contact addresses.

SPCK Publishing When Governments Stumble
Book SynopsisUsing the Zimbabwean situation as a model, Ben asks: How should Christians respond to corruption and injustice when perpetrated by governments?Trade Review"A must read for Christians who take Jesus at his word, believing we must be “salt” and “light” in an unjust world.” -- Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town “Jesus invaded Ben’s horror story with astonishing grace. He stirs us to passion, longing, and hope. May his testimony persuade many to pursue truth and justice in our own lands.” -- Jackie Pullinger MBE“You are holding a prophetic book that is both profoundly disturbing and challenging. This step-by-step exposé is an articulate universal call for socio-political justice that must not go unheeded. Let not Zimbabwe’s extreme pain be in vain.” -- Alexander F. Venter – Pastor, Vineyard Christian Fellowship, Johannesburg“Ben Freeth is a man of strong Christian faith – full of love and forgiveness for those who have brought great suffering upon him and his family. In this book, he looks at what it means to be persecuted for one’s faith and the times when God calls upon the church to make a stand. It is a reminder that our faith is nothing if we are not prepared to give everything.” -- Revd Nicky Gumbel, pioneer of Alpha and Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton Church in London“This book is a very courageous endeavour to bring to light the terrible injustices in Zimbabwe. It appeals to all Christian people to be faithful to what God is asking us to do: to stand for truth and not to forget justice, mercy, and faithfulness. I believe this book will be used mightily. It is a compelling read.” -- General the Lord Dannatt GCB CBE MC DL, Chief of the General Staff 2006-2009“Ben Freeth raises the fundamental question of, what would Christ do in the face of gross injustice and extreme violations of human rights? His exploration of his faith, as the wellspring of his values, shows that the answer lies within the reach of us all.” -- Alice Mogwe, Director, Ditshwanelo – The Botswana Centre for Human Rights“In the vehicle of a brutal dictatorship, fear is the petrol that keeps the engine going,” writes Ben Freeth. He calls on the church to fulfil its Godordained role to challenge injustice and unrighteousness, and individuals to rally behind the truth so that the curtain of lies and deception that keep ruthless regimes in power can be torn down.” -- Sir Ranulph Fiennes, British explorer and author“This piece of work is an excellent account of what happens when rulers fail. It is done according to the one real test of a successful ruler, namely whether that ruler succeeded or failed his or her God-given calling to uphold true justice and to protect the lives, dignity and property of his or her subordinates.” -- Willie Spies, legal representative: AfriForum, South Africa“It is a long, long road, the road to justice and peace in Zimbabwe. Ben Freeth’s personal story of standing up to violence and intimidation by the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe sets us a challenge – one way or another wherever we face oppression, we must all take our stand. Black and white together, we must stand for justice, and pray for peace. Love and justice must pervade our environment if we are to embrace peace.” -- Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York“Standing for justice under a dictatorship is the Mount Everest of faith. When law and order are stripped away - along with your home, livelihood and possessions - you can only depend on God” -- Bear Grylls, in his Foreword`’Freeth’s book is timely; the church in the West sits under governments moving steadily away from Judeo-Christian principles and gradually faces the effects of persecution.’ -- John Richards * evangelicals now *

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC On Agamben Donatism Pelagianism and the Missing
Book SynopsisPeter Iver Kaufman shows that, although Giorgio Agamben represents Augustine as an admired pioneer of an alternative form of life, he also considers Augustine an obstacle keeping readers from discovering their potential. Kaufman develops a compelling, radical alternative to progressive politics by continuing the line of thought he introduced in On Agamben, Arendt, Christianity, and the Dark Arts of Civilization. Kaufman starts with a comparison of Agamben and Augustine's projects, both of which challenge reigning concepts of citizenship. He argues that Agamben, troubled by Augustine's opposition to Donatists and Pelagians, failed to forge links between his own redefinitions of authenticity and the coming community and the bishop's understandings of grace, community, and compassion. On Agamben, Donatism, Pelagianism, and the Missing Links sheds new light on Augustine's political theology, introducing ways it can be used as a resource for alternative polities while supplemeTrade ReviewKaufman’s analyses take us back in time—but also strangely back to ourselves—in the name of a vexed and even traumatic desire for political alternatives. In this journey Kaufman shows himself to be the historian of Christianity able to send vivifying shockwaves through the many contemporary discussions of political theology in critical theory and continental philosophy. No one who attends to Kaufman’s Augustine will ever see Agamben—or indeed their own political situation—in the same way again. -- Ward Blanton, University of Kent, UKTable of ContentsPreface 1.
