Broadman & Holman Publishers Exalting Jesus in Esther
Book SynopsisExalting Jesus in Esther is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a Reflect & Discuss section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It's not academic but rather presents an easy reading, practical and friendly commentary. The author of Exalting Jesus in Esther is Landon Dowden.

Continuum Publishing Corporation Dostoevsky
Book SynopsisThere is an unresolved tension in Dostoevsky's novels - a tension between believing and not believing in the existence of God. This book enables us to consider the nature of God in the 21st Century through the lens of Dostoevsky's novels.Trade Review"'The Archbishop of Canterbury has written a book on Dostoevsky which illuminates the real operations of religion in human minds' A. N. Wilson, Times Literary Supplement 'Rowan Williams is an excellent literary critic. He makes you want to read, or reread, everything that Dostoevsky wrote. The books that he describes are spacious enough to contain a whole world, and beautiful enough to serve as icons that illuminate ours' The Guardian 'Although Rowan Williams is very modest about his credentials in writing an important book on Dostoevsky, it is difficult to think of anyone who is better qualified... a remarkable contribution to understanding not just Dostoevsky, but what it might involve to be a religious believer in the world today' Richard Harries, Church Times "...a real feeling for literary narrative... a profound and thought provoking book" Salley Vickers, The Times"Table of ContentsPreface; Introduction; 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Poverty Heresy and the Apocalypse
Book SynopsisThis is the first study to examine the rise and fall of a medieval religious group, the Order of Apostles, that began with orthodox support but ended in the fires of heresy. Originating in 1260 in Parma the group was founded by Gerard Segarelli who believed that a life of apostolic poverty was the true path of Christian devotion. Segarelli was initially supported by the Church but as his cohort grew in number and fame he was charged with heresy by the powerful Franciscans, was tried, and burnt as a heretic. The Order''s control was assumed by Fra Dolcino who led the Apostles into direct opposition to the Roman Church and was himself executed in 1307. This is an important study presenting new findings in the history of medieval heresy, as well as placing the Order of Apostles within the larger context of political, economic and social history. By examining the rise and fall of the Apostles Pierce shows the dramatic consequences of the transformation of European society during the high MTable of ContentsPrologue Introduction 1.

John Murray Press The Great Mystery
Book SynopsisAn exploration of human identity from both scientific and religious perspectives, from bestselling author and Andreas Idreos Professor of Science & Religion at Oxford University, Alister McGrath.Trade ReviewThere can hardly be a more prolific theological writer in the English-speaking world than Alister McGrath. * Conor McOonough *This is a book characterised by a deep sense of humility before the mystery of life and the limitations of human knowledge. It is also one that is generously open to the views of those with whom he disagrees. At the same time he shows, often with a telling example, how Christianity not only gives us a glimpse of the bigger picture, but offers a framework of meaning enabling us to cope with our journey from birth to death . Whilst Drawing on his vast learning in both science and philosophy Alister McGrath still manages to convey his argument with great clarity and accessibility. It is a book that will challenge all dogmatists, whether scientific or religious, and which will greatly encourage those who are tentative and searching. * Lord Harries of Pentregarth *In this personal, scholarly yet gripping account of the human search for meaning, Alister McGrath reveals this eirenic question to be as vital in our own times as in previous ages. In the spirit of Chesterton, Thoreau and C S Lewis, and in dialogue with Augustine, Pico, Murdoch, and his neighbourhood nemesis Dawkins, McGrath takes his breathless readers first to a high balcony-view of the science, religion and philosophy of purpose, but then leads us back down to the road where we must make our own journeys, the richer for our reading. * Tom McLeish, Professor of Physics at Durham University and Chair of the Royal Society’s education committee *The book comes alive in the third and final part that deals with the future and humanity's struggle with the conflict of good and evil in its nature... a worthwhile book. * Methodist Recorder *Alister McGrath in The Great Mystery asks the questions (with his usual rigour and clarity) that philosophers tend to avoid these days: 'What is the point of life?' and 'What is wrong with us?' He, too, is concerned to explore the meaning that lies behind the facts in a world drowning in information from the sciences, calling for a fundamental rethinking of who we are. * Church Times *

McFarland & Co Inc The 12 Days of Christmas
Book Synopsis In the whole body of Christmas carols sung in English, among the most famous and beloved is a song universally called The Twelve Days of Christmas. Although its association with the holiday remains unquestioned, the tune was originally a raucous drinking song with wildly different connotations. This book documents the unfamiliar and distant history of one of the world''s most well-known holiday songs, inextricably linked to the earliest celebrations of a festival suppressed by the Church itself. The rowdy and mischievous tone of traditional Christmas has vanished, as have the songs that accompanied the festival of drinking, gambling, fighting, feasting and sex. Modern participants of Christmas may be either embarrassed or pleased to discover the scandalous roots of a beloved holiday classic.Table of Contents Table of Contents Acknowledgments vi Preface 1 Chapter 1 7 Chapter 2 15 Chapter 3 28 Chapter 4 37 Chapter 5 45 Chapter 6 51 Chapter 7 61 Chapter 8 67 Chapter 9 71 Chapter 10 91 Chapter 11 101 Chapter 12 109 Chapter 13 125 Chapter 14 136 Chapter 15 143 Chapter 16 150 Chapter 17 154 Chapter 18 170 Chapter 19 176 Chapter Notes 187 Works Cited 217 Index 221

Duke University Press Laughing at the Devil
Book SynopsisIn this impassioned, analytical, playful, and irreverent book, theologian Amy Laura Hall takes up Julian of Norwich's call to laugh at the Devil as a means to transform a setting of dread and fear into the means to create hope, solidarity, and resistance.Trade Review"Although Hall addresses serious topics, her treatment is boundless and joyful. Those familiar with Julian's writings should find this unique take to be contemporary and relevant." -- James Wetherbee * Library Journal *"In Laughing at the Devil, Amy Laura Hall urges her own readers to read Julian [of Norwich] and to keep thinking along with her. This brief study is worthy of careful reading. . . . Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, general readers." -- G.H. Shriver * Choice *"A book to read with the heart as well as the mind." -- Willard E. Roth * Sharing the Practice *"Amy Laura Hall’s Laughing at the Devil is valuable because she resists a bloodless and spiritualized vision of Julian’s theology. Covenant theologians seeking to understand the significance of Waldenström’s insistence that the cross was a demonstration of divine love will find in Hall’s Julian an important conversation partner." -- Jodie Boyer Hatlem * Covenant Quarterly *"A labor of love: a testament to the richness of Julian’s writing and the balm of a new theological perspective for those deeply hurt by life. . . . For readers grappling with tragedy, pain, and bewilderment at the world’s evils, Laughing at the Devil makes meaningful Julian’s revelation that all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." -- Andrew K. Lee * Reading Religion *"A fresh take on Julian of Norwich that you don’t need a divinity degree to understand. . . . In Hall’s hands, Julian the anchorite mystic becomes a spiritual friend. She may have prayed in mean and miserable times, but she gets a generous vision of God’s love for us all." -- Lillian Daniel * Christian Century *"This is a pastoral and prophetic book for all readers who seek a centering hope in times of overwhelming oppression and pain, in which a toxic blend of religion and politics entices people to cope with the fear of pain or their present suffering through various mechanisms of control and punishment—be it shame, intimidation, or scrutinizing methods accounting for grace and redemption. Selective in its sources, teachers of theology and ethics will find this a great companion book to reflect with students on how to translate historical theological writings into real lived embodied situations in ways that matter. . . ." -- Heike Peckruhn * Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics *"Amy Laura Hall has written a short book about Julian of Norwich and ethics that is both a laugh-out-loud read and an entirely serious reflection on living in the safety of the cross. Hall’s reflections made this medieval English visionary come alive for me, and she also helped me enable Julian to seem relevant—even someone to celebrate—for undergraduates living in a time of pandemic, political division, and fear. . . . I recommend this book highly for scholars, for students, and for anyone wanting to understand Julian of Norwich and reflect on the cross in a fresh and invigorating way." -- Robert W.

Outskirts Press Dawn of Reason
Book SynopsisJ. Anthony Bove had the same questions about life and religion that many people do. Is it possible for the average person to understand the Bible? Where are we now on the biblical timeline? Are we still awaiting the fulfillment of the last week of Daniel 9:27, the week of great tribulations? Is there another anti-Christ and beast coming to persecute the church? Is there a coming kingdom of Christ that will last on earth for one thousand years? The New Testament warns of many false prophets in our latter times. Where are they? These, and other perplexing subjects, are examined and explored with viewpoints that are fresh, unusual, and sometimes unexpected. Bove believes that the truth of life and religion is exclusively of God, and found solely in the Bible. And it bears the authority of His word over and above the precepts of men, especially in the religious sense. The Bible is un-denominational and so the treatment of its content is handled as such, without regard or leaning towards an

New York University Press Adopting for God
Book SynopsisExplores the role played by missionaries in the twentieth-century transnational adoption movement Between 1953 and 2018, approximately 170,000 Korean children were adopted by families in dozens of different countries, with Americans providing homes to more than two-thirds of them. In an iconic photo taken in 1955, Harry and Bertha Holt can be seen descending from a Pan American World Airways airplane with twelve Asian babieseight for their family and four for other families. As adoptive parents and evangelical Christians who identified themselves as missionaries, the Holts unwittingly became both the metaphorical and literal parental figures in the growing movement to adopt transnationally. Missionaries pioneered the transnational adoption movement in America. Though their role is known, there has not yet been a full historical look at their theological motivationswhich varied depending on whether they were evangelically or ecumenically focusedand what the effects were for American socTrade ReviewA major breakthrough in the study of the transnational adoption movement in the postwar era. In a field dominated by social scientific approaches, Chung’s emphasis on the religious dimension is unique and significant, serving to broaden and deepen our understanding of the adoption movement and its impacts. Adopting for God’s originality, depth, and insightfulness make it a necessary and significant read for scholars from many fields. -- Kevin Xiyi Yao, author of The Fundamentalist Movement among the Protestant Missionaries in China, 1920–1937A strongly written, compelling account of adoption evangelists who promoted transnational adoptions while also evangelizing for God. This book cogently demonstrates that during the Cold War context, Christians’ theological convictions had the power to shape America’s institutions of family and race. Chung’s scholarship deftly integrates Transracial Adoption Studies and Asian American Studies with a nuanced understanding of religion. -- Russell Jeung, San Francisco State UniversityAdopting for God uncovers the influential—yet flawed—gendered anti-racism work of a previous generation, and how it promoted the acceptance of Korean and mixed-race adoptions. Soojin Chung’s compelling study explains why interracial adoption and child sponsorship continue to shape the outreach of American Christians today. I highly recommend this splendid and readable study, especially for scholars concerned with the intersections of race, gender, family history, and Cold War politics. -- Dana Robert, Boston UniversityAdopting for God deals with American Christians—of both evangelical and ecumenical persuasions—who urged their fellow Americans to open their hearts and homes to non-White adoptees, especially children from war-torn Korea. * Christian Century Book Review *[S]cholars can thank Soojin Chung for another contribution to our growing understanding of the multi-faceted ways in which missionaries have shaped American culture. - Philip D. Byers, University of Notre Dame. -- Fides et Historia * Fides et Historia *Not only does Chung provide us with comprehensive timelines and biographies of adoption evangelicals; even more importantly, Chung critically assesses the consequences of their actions, establishes a connection between history and current trends, and sheds light on rich intricacies of our Christian history that are not widely known and deserve our utmost attention. Adopting for God is a formative text for anyone interested in studying the legacy of the transnational adoption movement in the US, advancing the discipline of Christian missiology, or conducting comparative research of transnational adoption across other racial and ethnic contexts. -- Maci Sepp * Reading Religion - American Academy of Religion *All audiences will learn from this volume as it is written in an accessible and engaging manner, providing context and definition, as needed, to support the points presented. It is necessary to understand the history of transnational adoption in the United States to bring context to current issues, including the identity development of adult Korean adoptees wanting to incorporate their Korean ethnicity and culture. Adopting for God impacts understanding of transnational adoption in very positive ways. -- Church History * Church History *
