SPCK The Bible in the Contemporary World
Book SynopsisMature reflections by one of our most eminent scholars on how the Bible speaks to the most pressing social and political issues facing the world today.Trade ReviewThese essays are the work of a master theologian, and a joy to read. They combine judicious balance, practical relevance, and theological wisdom. Ten of the fourteen magnificent essays are recent reprints, and all are valuable. They include biblical narrative, freedom, human rights, globalization, and penetrating critiques of consumerist and technological world-views. The insights and perils of post-modernity and modern individualism are exposed; while Bauckham expounds wisdom, ecology, creation, suffering, and truth. This is a superb collection, which amply repays study. * Anthony C. Thiselton, FBA, Emeritus Professor of Christian Theology, University of Nottingham *Here Bauckham shows the breadth of his concerns, from the classical theological topoi of freedom and hope to Christianity’s conversation with Buddhism and modern secular culture. He is unafraid to point to the inadequacies of some aspects of traditional theology, while at the same time he offers a strong, distinctively biblical and Christian critique of contemporary culture, with its self-deluded doctrine of progressivism and catastrophic scientific and technological arrogance. These essays are lucid and mercifully free of technical jargon, suitable for experts and lay theologians alike. * Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School *This is a feast of a book, which was a delight to read … [Bauckham] approaches the scriptures with an eye that is reverent and wise, while at the same time discerning and original, bringing them into conversation with the modern world in an immensely engaging and thought-provoking manner. There was hardly a page on which there was not some arresting thought on either biblical truth or contemporary culture on which constructively to ruminate ... This is a creative book, full of insights to which theologians and others would be well advised to give more attention. -- Dr John Inge * Church Times *This book is a treasure trove of knowledge from a formidable scholar. While it may appear a quick read, readers will likely find themselves pausing frequently to reflect upon Bauckham’s insights. For those who believe that the Bible has something to say to the contemporary world, this book will help discern its message. -- Eric J. Beck, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh * The Expository Times Vol 127, No. 12 *Richard Bauckham is one of the most consistently interesting, perceptive and accessible New Testament scholars writing today. Bauckham writes well and I would recommend this book to anyone unfamiliar with his work without hesitation. Let it be, however, a gateway drug to his other, Class A publications -- Nick Spencer Theos Think tank, * Theology Vol 119.5 *

Choice "A remarkable book: combines the findings of social sciences with good sense, better yet - with keen moral judgment. Well written by an outstanding social psychologist." Amitai Etzioni, author of The Spirit of Community "A new millennium calls for a new vision of America. We have had enough blatant materialism, too much selfish sexism that makes a mockery of marriage and family. The American Paradox gives us such a new vision of America and we would do well to read it seriously. As the good book says: 'Without vision the people perish.' Theodore M. Hesburgh, President Emeritus, University of Notre Dame "The American Paradox will deepen family therapists' commitment to help families think through their relationship to the broader culture and make sound decisions about time and money, shopping and media."

Book SynopsisExplores the origins of the Jewish doctrine of the resurrection of the dead.

The prose of Resurrection and the Restoration of Israel is clear and often powerful, having absorbed much of the poetry and primal strength of the biblical passages it examines. Professor Levenson has written for an audience well beyond his fellow biblical scholars.' Peter Steinfels, New York Times"

Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad“This masterpiece is the finest scholarly study of love in Islam ever produced. Chittick’s brilliant theo-philosophical analysis encompasses all the great Islamic thinkers and offers an urgent message not just for historians of religion, but for all Muslims and for those of every faith tradition.”—Stephen G. Post, Stony Brook University -- Stephen G. Post“Rendering a vast Arabic and Persian repertoire into lucid English allows William Chittick to display how central love is in the Islamic tradition. Persian masters Maybudi and Sam’ânî open worlds of poetic theological reflection, detailing the origin of love, a life of love, and the goal of love.”—David Burrell, University of Notre Dame -- David Burrell“A profound addition to our understanding of Sufism. It will be yet another long-standing contribution in the magnificent career of William Chittick, and another confirmation of his status as one of the very leading scholars of Sufism today.”—Omid Safi, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill -- Omid Safi“The classic Sufi poets of divine and human love—Rumi, Hafez, Attar and others—are by now familiar figures. William Chittick’s book beautifully introduces the earlier Persian (and Arabic) prose writers on love who provide the background for that love-poetry, and whose “theology of love” shaped the popular understanding of Islam through the centuries.”—James W.
