Inter-Varsity Press Fabricating Jesus: How Modern Scholars Distort
Book SynopsisThe Da Vinci Code. Misquoting Jesus. The Jesus Papers. The Gospel of Judas. New portraits of Jesus continue to stir up interest and debate. The more unusual the portrait, the more it departs from the traditional view of Jesus, and the more attention it receives in the popular media. Critical study of the Gospels has often shed light on the Jesus of history - but has also distorted the Gospels and rendered Jesus unrecognizable. Why are some scholars so prone to fabricate a new Jesus? What methods and assumptions predispose them to distort the record? Why is the public so eager to accept such claims without question? Is there a more sober approach to finding the real Jesus? Craig Evans offers insights into the methods and biases of modern interpreters, whether scholars associated with the Jesus Seminar or popularizers like Michael Baigent and Dan Brown. He examines how we got today's New Testament text, how ancient historians did their work, what second-century Gnosticism was all about, and the way first-century Jewish and Greek culture informs scholarly study of the Gospels. Readers will come away with a new appreciation of the value and limits of contemporary biblical research.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC A Pilgrimage of Paradoxes
Book SynopsisMark Clavier is the Residentiary Canon of Brecon Cathedral, UK, and chair of the Standing Doctrinal Commission for the Church in Wales, UK.Trade ReviewThis book sharpens our ears and tunes our imaginations to hear and see the “magic” of landscape, people, and God, and to rejoice in it all. * The Church Times *Mark Clavier knows what it is to be lost, to yearn for a transcendent God who remains out of reach. Yet as this wise book relates, he also knows what it is to be found, to encounter God in the common marvels of creation. Read this book and then go for a walk with eyes newly opened to the mysteries that are at hand. -- Jeffrey Bilbro, Grove City College, USA'An outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace’: Cranmer’s definition of a sacrament expresses perfectly Mark Clavier’s achievement in this deeply personal yet universally applicable reflection which celebrates the wonderful Welsh mountainscape as a sacrament of God’s timeless presence in creation and in the human heart. -- John Inge, Bishop of Worcester, UKIn this personal and wise book, Mark Clavier invites readers on a mountain pilgrimage with poets, philosophers, and spiritual writers as guides. The result is a profound meditation on time, place, and the communities of life that join us to each other and to our world. Come along! -- Norman Wirzba, Duke Divinity School, USARead this book and walk with the author on a journey that unites heaven and earth. On his hikes in the Welsh mountains, Clavier encounters not some generic "higher power" but an earthy God, incarnate in both the wonderful and the commonplace. In the process he traces a life that is simultaneously poetic, divine, and deeply humane. -- William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul University, USAMark Clavier is our delightful companion as we walk into a landscape that speaks of God found in timelessness and time, silence and words, wonder and the commonplace. He weaves memoir with theological reflection, folklore, geology and history, taking discursive routes to explore his paradoxical themes with flair and imagination. -- Graham Usher, Bishop of Norwich, UKMark Clavier loses himself in the rocky beauty of mid-Wales, and finds himself opened up to multiple layers of wisdom and joy. Strands of place, theology and the natural world are all plaited together through the pages of this profound and deeply satisfying book. -- Philip Marsden, travel writer and novelist, UKPerhaps one of the worst things Christianity has done in some of its varieties is to encourage people to think they don't really belong in and with creation. Mark Clavier has written a brilliant and moving meditation on how he has learned from journeys in the Welsh landscape to see more clearly that redemption is a gift that allows us to inhabit more deeply where we truly are, at home in the grace and mercy of the creator. -- Rowan Williams, University of Cambridge, UKA love letter to God, written in the mountains of Wales, Mark Clavier offers a rare feast of reflections that stir the paradoxes of the imagination towards the God whose creation heals and transforms. An immersion in nature to delight the longing soul. -- Frances Ward, St Michael's Rectory, UKWhat gives A Pilgrimage of Paradoxes an aura of depth and complexity lies in how Clavier weaves together personal experiences in the wilderness, learned contemplation of Christian theology and biblical passages, and a rich penetration into the interiority of the soul’s relationship to the world and the Divine. ... Mark Clavier’s book A Pilgrimage of Paradoxes lives up to its title. * Front Porch Republic *Table of ContentsGlossary and Guide to Welsh Names Preface Chapter 1: Cadair Idris: Encountering God on a Welsh Mountain Part 1 The Paradox of Eternity and Time Chapter 2: Cwm Cau: Timelessness Chapter 3: Dysynni Valley: Thick-Time Chapter 4: Incarnation Part 2 The Paradox of Silence and Words Chapter 5: Craig Lwyd: Silence Chapter 6: Gwyn ap Nudd: Words Chapter 7: Baptism Part 3 The Paradox of Wonder and the Commonplace Chapter 8: Penygadair: The Wonderful Chapter 9: Rhiw Gwredydd: The Commonplace Chapter 10: Eucharist Chapter 11: Inhabiting Hiraeth and Tangnefedd Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisDynamic New Teaching from Bestselling Author Ed SilvosoIt''s no secret that the church today has lost its influence in culture. But why? With the technology, affluence, and knowledge we have today, why are we less effective than the first-century church--which didn''t have social media, fancy buildings, professional pastors, or even religious freedom?What are we missing?In these vital, eye-opening pages, bestselling author Ed Silvoso digs into Scripture, unearthing Jesus'' true design for his church--his Ekklesia. He shows how the early church was a radical, countercultural force of people who transformed the hostile, pagan places in which they lived. Here Dr. Silvoso shows how we, in the midst of social, economic, political, and moral chaos, can once again become the revolutionary, transformational, life-giving Ekklesia Jesus called us to be.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Modern Christian Theology
Book SynopsisChristopher Ben Simpson tells the story of modern Christian theology against the backdrop of the history of modernity itself. The book tells the many ways that theology became modern while seeing how modernity arose in no small part from theology. These intertwined stories progress through four parts.In Part I, Emerging Modernity, Simpson goes from the beginnings of modernity in the late Middle Ages through the Protestant Reformation and Renaissance Humanism to the creative tension between Enlightenments and Awakenings of the eighteenth-century. Part II, The Long Nineteenth-Century, presents the great movements and figures arising out of these creative tension - from Romanticism and Schleiermacher to Ritschlianism and Vatican I. Part III, Twentieth-Century Crisis and Modernity, proceeds through the revolutionary theologies of period of the World Wars such as that of Karl Barth or novuelle theologie; this part includes a thorough section on modern EasteTrade ReviewFrom Hegel to Barth and Bultmann to revisionist and secular theologies, Simpson has supplied the clearest textbook yet in this field and has brought the debates up to date and situated them within a wider global and postcolonial framework than is the case with many of the other books in this field. I don't just heartily recommend it - this book will be the primary point of reference for my lectures and seminar discussions in the years ahead. -- Chris Deacy, University of Kent, UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Images and Figures Introduction PART I: EMERGING MODERNITY Chapter 1: The Middle Ages and the Lost World Chapter 2: Reformation and Humanism: 1400-1650 Chapter 3: Enlightenments and Awakenings: 1650-1800 Chapter 4: Kant PART II: THE LONG NINETEENTH CENTURY Chapter 5: Romanticism: 1800-1850 Chapter 6: Schleiermacher Chapter 7: Hegel and Hegelians Chapter 8: Coping with the Nova Chapter 9: Early-Nineteenth-Century Catholic and Anglo-Catholic Theology Chapter 10: Ritschlianism Chapter 11: Late-Nineteenth-Century Catholic Theology PART III: TWENTIETH-CENTURY CRISIS AND MODERNITY Chapter 12: Kierkegaard and Nietzsche Chapter 13: Barth Chapter 14: Bultmann and Tillich Chapter 15: Early-Twentieth-Century Catholic Theology Chapter 16: Twentieth-Century Eastern Orthodox Theology Chapter 17: Conservative Protestants in America PART IV: THE LATE MODERN SUPERNOVA Chapter 18: Later Twentieth-Century Catholic Theology Chapter 19: Liberation Theologies Chapter 20: Revisionist and Secular Theologies Chapter 21: Postliberal and Postsecular Theologies Index

Oxford University Press Inc A Most Holy War
Book SynopsisThe Albigensian Crusade, the first in which Christians were promised salvation for killing other Christians, lasted twenty bloody years--a long savage war for the soul of Christendom. In A Most Holy War, historian Mark Pegg has produced a swift-moving, gripping narrative of this horrific crusade. Pegg draws in part on thousands of testimonies collected by inquisitors in the years 1235 to 1245, accounts of ordinary men and women remembering what it was like to live through such brutal times. In responding to heresy with a holy genocidal war, Innocent III fundamentally changed how Western civilization dealt with individuals accused of corrupting society. This change, Pegg argues, led directly to the creation of the inquisition, the rise of an anti-Semitism, and even the holy violence of the Reconquista in Spain. A bold, erudite, engaging, and superbly written study of what has long been one of the most central topics in medieval and Mediterranean history. --Teofilo F.

Oxford University Press Karl Barth A Life in Conflict
Book SynopsisFrom the beginning of his career, Swiss theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968) was often in conflict with the spirit of his times. While during the First World War German poets and philosophers became intoxicated by the experience of community and transcendence, Barth fought against all attempts to locate the divine in culture or individual sentiment. This freed him for a deep worldly engagement: he was known as the red pastor, was the primary author of the founding document of the Confessing Church, the Barmen Theological Declaration, and after 1945 protested the rearmament of the Federal Republic of Germany. Christiane Tietz compellingly explores the interactions between Barth''s personal and political biography and his theology. Numerous newly-available documents offer insight into the lesser-known sides of Barth such as his long-term three-way relationship with his wife Nelly and his colleague Charlotte von Kirschbaum. This is an evocative portrait of a theologian who described himself as God''s cheerful partisan, who was honored as a prophet and a genial spirit, was feared as a critic, and shaped the theology of an entire century as no other thinker.Trade ReviewThis is a maginificent, engrossing lucid and comprehensive treatment of the most important theologian of the modern era. Tietz has given not only to Barth scholarship but also to the history of theology in the twentieth century a great gift. We are in her debt. She reminds us of Barth's abiding preoccupation with God, and specifically with Jesus Christ who is "the event God's grace, a new beginning between God and humanity that is grounded solely in God". She also helps us undertsand something of the conflicts that this preoccupation encouraged. * Christopher R. J. Holmes, Pro Ecclesia *Tietz's book presents us with a golden opportunity to get up to speed on the current understanding of Barth, both the man and his theology * James J Cassidy, New Horizons in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church *Tietz's Barth biography is a book worthy of recommendation not only for professional Barth researchers, but for everyone (even non-theologians) interested in church history and in contemporary history. * Frank Jehle, University of St. Gallen, St. Gallen, Switzerland, International Journal of Systematic Theology *Tietz's work fills a major scholarly lacuna and deserves wide readership among pastors, teachers, students, and lay believers. * J. Scott Jackson, The Living Church *... Tietz's primary achievement here is surely to map the intellectual development of Barth and to locate that contextually within the political circumstances that surrounded him. * Kevin Hargaden, Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice, Studies in Christian Ethics *Tietz has written a readable and meticulously researched biography of Karl Barth (1886-1968). She integrates Barth's life and work, and a very ''human'' Karl Barth emerges. * D.K. McKim, CHOICE Connect, Vol. 59 No. 8 *Selected as a 2021 Book of the Year by Alan Billings, Church TimesTietz's book is outstanding: her chapter-length summary of Barth's monumental, multi-volume 'Church Dogmatics' (1932-67), theologically the cornerstone and pinnacle of his achievement, is among the best short treatments of it I have read. * Stephen J. Plant, Times Literary Supplement *Tietz provides a sound and useful orientation to Barth's life and work. * Michael Banner, The Tablet *Remarkable ... meticulously researched and thoroughly referenced... [it] will become a standard text for all engaging with Barth's theology for generations to come. * Natalie Watson, Church Times *Tietz uses an impressive array of primary sources such as letters to his friend Eduard Thurneysen to chart Barth's life. * Paul Richardson, Church of England Newspaper *Very readable and accessible... Tietz's biography is a good entry into [Barth's] life and thought. * Richard A. Kauffman, Christian Century *Karl Barth's life story is worth telling. Or, better still, worth reading. A new biography, Karl Barth: A Life in Conflict by Christiane Tietz, tells it well... It is a compelling read. * Neil Richardson, Methodist Recorder *Christiane Tietz compellingly explores the interactions between Barths personal and political biography and his theology... an evocative portrait of a theologian * , Englewood Review of Books *[Tietz] is a reliable guide to her academic grandfather and the biography functions as a sound, accessible introduction to Barth's thought. * R. R. Reno, First Things *Tietz successfully places Barth's heological writings within key events of his life and the wider world, providing a broader context that illuminates his thought far more than the typical summaries. The portrait that emerges across the decades of Barth's career is one of an irascible thinker who seems to enjoy having controversial opinions. * Best Books of 2021, Todd Brewer, Mockingbird *[The book] reads smoothly but with the kind of clarity that is symptomatic of the best kind of academic work. In other words, the book is highly readable yet very much built on a reliable foundation... Tietz's work is diligent and insightful. I suspect her book will become the standard biography of Karl Barth for some time. For students of Barth's theology, it is indispensable. * Stephen D. Morrison *Christiane Tietz has done exemplary well in composing a thoroughly broad and yet deep investigation...We further believe this biography will be the standard biography on Barth for many years to come. * Bradley M. Penner, Reviews in Religion and Theology *Tietz's work will be another standard biographical treatment of Barth for years to come and is thus highly recommended. * Ximian Xu, Journal of Reformed Theology *This book is a stunning achievement. That a biography of a theologian is so engrossing speaks not only to the kind of life that Barth led, but also to the skill and patience of the biographer. * Declan Kelly, Rezension Kelly Journal of Ecclesiastical History *The book takes an honourable place in introductory works on Barth. * Tim Gorringe, Modern Believing *Table of Contents1: "I Belong To Basel": 1886-1904 Guildmaster, Pastors and Scholars: Barth's Ancestors A Strict Love for Truth and Christian Discipline: His Parents "A Great Great Joy": Childhood and Youth 2: "This Obscure Desire toward a Better Understanding": 1904-1909 The Decision to Study Theology Student in Bern Wearing the Colors and Noncombative: In the Zofingia Association "Very Diligent and Quite Capable": Student in Berlin Once More in Bern and Then Tübingen Finally in Marburg His Work for Die Christliche Welt 3: "Stumbling Up the Steps to Calvin's Pulpit": 1909-1911 Vicar in Geneva Quite Demanding: The First Confirmation Instruction Theologian in the Congregation "In Such a Dreadfully Pious Environment" A Daughter from a Good Home: The Engagement to Nelly Hoffmann Farewell to Geneva 4: "The Red Pastor": Safenwil, 1911-1921 "This System of Employment Must Fall": Workers and Socialists A Theological Friendship: Eduard Thurneysen "The WorldWithout Gods": The First World War "An Open House": Family Life 5: "A Book for Those Who Were Also Concerned": The First Epistle to the Romans, 1919 Human Religion and the Divine Word "Like a Bomb on the Playground of the Theologians" "Without Windows to the Kingdom of Heaven": The Tambach Lecture 6: "To Always Work Somewhat Faster": Göttingen 1921-1925 From Swiss Pastor to German Professor "Unavoidable Nonsense of the Academic Business" "Almost Like a Buddy": Barth with His Students "Lively Combat": Emanuel Hirsch and Other Colleagues "Stranger from a Neutral Place": Karl Barth and the Germans 7: "Not a Stone Left Standing": The Second Version of the Epistle to the Romans, 1922 A Critical Turn The new version of the Epistle to the Romans Critics and Admirers What is Dialectical Theology?

Zondervan Against Liberal Theology
Book SynopsisLiberal Christian theology is a big topic in today''s churches and seminaries. But what does liberal theology really mean and why is it so controversial? What does it actually believe about truth, Scripture, and Jesus Christ? And where does it lead?The term liberal theology is often misinterpreted, confused with a set of loose ideologies within the Christian faith and sometimes rallied behind by genuine Christians who are simply concerned about modern social justice issues. It''s also been wrongly leveled against churches and even entire denominations that don''t adhere to the tradition of liberal theology.Against Liberal Theology, is written in a direct and conversational tone that makes sense of this theological movement by: Defining liberal theology and explaining its beliefs about central Christian doctrines. Giving its history and progression—beginning with 18th century German theologian Friedrich SchleTrade Review'Roger Olson shows us the absolute theological vacuity of American liberal Christianity. He demonstrates that liberalism's God is a mirror of themselves, their Jesus is not worthy of worship nor a savior of any sort, and the Holy Spirit is merely a symbol for their own musings. Olson's verdict is damning but indubitable: liberal Christianity has little to do with classic or historical Christianity.' * Michael Bird, academic dean and lecturer in New Testament, Ridley College *'Roger Olson's Against Liberal Theology is a courageous and calm definition, examination, and evaluation of the collapse of authentic, orthodox Christian theology in the minds, hearts, and hands of one liberal (not progressive) theologian after another. In their own words, Olson often shines a bright, piercing light on their own criticisms. This is a vintage example of Olson being Olson: he knows the literature, he is candid, he is fair, and he is unstinting in criticism of the pitfalls of liberal theologians. And he examines only those who overtly espouse 'liberal' in their theology. Those most attracted into progressivism and then into liberalism will benefit from a humble reading of this book.' * Scot McKnight, professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary *

National Gallery Company Ltd Saint Francis of Assisi
Book SynopsisExploring the life, imagery and lasting appeal of Saint Francis of Assisi (1182–1226), this landmark book features a core of important historic paintings representing the saint by Giotto, Sassetta, Caravaggio, Zurbarán and El Greco. From his native Umbria, Saint Francis’s image spread rapidly to become a global phenomenon and a continuous source of artistic fascination. His commitment to the poor, powerful appeals for peace, openness to dialogue with other religions and embryonic environmentalism radically impacted the Church and society of his time, and still hold great interest today. Spanning seven centuries and ranging from the earliest, relic-like objects to contemporary art in a variety of media, including works by Antony Gormley, Giuseppe Penone and a new commission from Richard Long, Saint Francis of Assisi reflects on the lasting legacy of Saint Francis – an inherently modern figure who retains a universal appeal.

Baker Publishing Group The Church in an Age of Secular Mysticisms – Why
Book SynopsisPost-Christian life and society do not eliminate a desire for the transcendent; rather, they create an environment for new and divergent spiritual communities and practices to flourish. We are flooded with spiritualities that appeal to human desires for nonreligious personal transformation. But many fail to deliver because they fall into the trap of the self. In the last book of the Ministry in a Secular Age series, leading practical theologian Andrew Root shows the differences between these spiritualities and authentic Christian transformation. He explores the dangers of following or adapting these reigning mysticisms and explains why the self has become so important yet so burdened with guilt--and how we should think about both. To help us understand our confusing cultural landscape, he maps spiritualities using twenty of the best memoirs from 2015 to 2020 in which "secular mystics" promote their mystical and transformational pathways. Root concludes with a more excellent way--even a mysticism--centered on the theology of the cross that pastors and leaders can use to form their own imaginations and practices.Table of ContentsRead before Using (Don't Skip)1.

Christian Focus Publications Ltd A Christian’s Pocket Guide to Jesus Christ: An
Book SynopsisFor many of us, the whole concept of Christology is as mystifying as a foreign language, yet Christians down the ages have fought to defend the person and work of Christ – seeing him and what he did quite rightly as a vital element of how we are saved. If we are to understand this subject we need to know the person of Christ; not just what he did (his work) but who he is (his person). Through this book we get to know the Son of God who indeed is God and not just a superman! He is the one who came from above and became fully human having a human body and soul. Being God enabled him to pay the debt owed for sin and being man enabled him to stand on man’s behalf for their sin. In straightforward and simple layman terms this book will explain the interconnectivity of the work and person of Jesus Christ and dispel any misconceptions you may have. Trade ReviewA Christian's Pocket Guide to Jesus Christ - Mark Jones, CFP 2012 - This book is gold. I can't remember the last time I read such a small book that has had such an effect on me. At 76 pages I think it's worth almost memorising! There are lots of really helpful emphases, particularly Jones's treatment of the Incarnation, Christ and the Holy Spirit, and the Threefold Office of Christ. It is Christology from above and is a very helpful introduction indeed. It could be used in a variety of contexts in church life and will leave people wanting, even craving, more. Buy and read. -- Reformation 21- The Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals"Who is Jesus Christ? Our answer to that question will determine our eternity. What we believe about Jesus is essential to our belief in Jesus. In this book, Dr. Mark Jones helps to answer hard questions about the person and work of Jesus Christ in a simple and clear manner. This book is an excellent tool for evangelism and discipleship, and it is a much-needed resource for new believers, laypeople, and pastors alike." -- Burk Parsons (Senior Pastor of Saint Andrew’s Chapel, Sanford, Florida and Editor of Tabletalk magazine)"Mark Jones has served us well by writing this short introduction to the doctrine of Christ. His book is biblical, clear, and rooted in historic Reformed theology." -- Joel R. Beeke (Chancellor, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan)
