This research navigates the inclination to impose meaning on encounters between the ethnographer and her subjects. Cuddeback-Gedeon successfully risks eliciting non-discursive communication with her subjects by turning deftly toward discovering an embodied communication, through a conscious of shared humanity, and fashioned by solidaristic reflexivity. -- Mary Jo Iozzio, Boston College, USA\u003cbr\u003eThe area of theological ethnography is growing in popularity and scope. At heart it seeks to explore what God is doing in the world.

To date the issue of disability in general an intellectual disability in particular have not really been a focus for this emerging discipline In this book, Lorraine Cuddeback-Gedeon breaks new ground in using ethnography to develop new perspectives on the theology of disability.

The book explores green consumer marketing in the frame of ecopiety by examining a variety of practices, from cars to reality television to mediated popular cultural narratives about vampires to green burials, and in the process offers not only a trenchant critique but also possible alternatives to individualist consumption as a way to virtuously “save the planet.” -- Sarah Banet-Weiser, London School of Economics and author of Empowered: Popular Feminism and Popular Misogyny\u003cbr\u003eDemonstrates the power of myths of individual moral and social power while teasing out the way resistance and counter readings of dominant narratives are possible in the interactive media world made possible by digital communications....

Most books on this issue are written from a firmly partisan point of view – complementarian or egalitarian. This one is unique.   Andrew Bartlett draws on his theological learning and his skills as a judge and arbitrator to offer an even-handed assessment of the debate. His analysis is thorough but accessible. He engages with advocates of each view and all the key biblical texts, weighing the available evidence and offering fresh insights. He invites the reader to move beyond complementarian and egalitarian labels and seeks progress towards healing the division.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBooks on this topic can often be accompanied by the sound of an author steadily grinding an axe in the background. This work is refreshingly different. Meticulous research, careful argument, objective assessment and judicious evaluation make this a significant scholarly contribution to the discussion on the role of men and women in Christ’s church. It is essential reading for all in leadership. * Ian Coffey, Vice-Principal and Director of Leadership Training, Moorlands College, Dorset, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a major contribution to the debate on the place of men and women in Christian ministry. It breaks new ground and is an important read whatever view you hold. * Dr Michael Green, author and theologian *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a must-read for anyone considering the Bible’s teaching on the roles of men and women. It has changed some of my thinking. Using his skills as an international arbitrator and his deep theological understanding, Andrew weighs up the biblical teaching on this often contentious issue. His conclusions are fresh, illuminating, and challenging to both egalitarian and complementarian alike. Every Christian leader and serious Bible student should read and digest this book. It will go a long way to bringing greater humility and unity on the subject, which is a great need in today’s church. * Michael Ots, evangelist, international speaker and author *\u003cbr\u003eAlthough I lean more towards a fully complementarian position, I want to commend this book because of its recognition of the importance of Scripture in Christian belief and practice, its desire to explain Scripture in its biblical context, its scholarly quality, and its promotion of good relationships between Christians who have divergent views, with objective assessment and without personal criticism. * Andrew Muwowo, founder, Proclamation Institute Zambia *\u003cbr\u003eThis book’s consideration of male and female relations according to Scripture is a model of clarity, scholarship and summary. It is in every sense a judicious work, which helps to resolve some contentious issues of biblical interpretation. Its aim is thoroughly constructive: to promote mutual understanding and unity among those who believe in and wish to be faithful to Holy Scripture. * Dr Nigel G. Wright, Principal Emeritus, Spurgeon's College London, and former President, Baptist Union of Great Britain *\u003cbr\u003eGlobal communications are driving social change in East and South Asia. This increases the danger of importing Western theories unchallenged. I hope the insightful exegesis in this book will help Asian theologians and church leaders to engage with the Scripture without getting caught in the tramlines of the complementarian\/egalitarian debate. * Anthony Harrop, former Publishing Consultant Asia-Pacific, United Bible Societies *\u003cbr\u003eIn over 45 years of involvement in Bible translation I have frequently grappled with the interpretive issues dealt with in this book. Faithful translation should be accurate and unbiased, allowing the original text to speak for itself. This is the ideal, but translators are human. Cultural biases have affected English translations of texts concerning women. The author’s professional background helps him take a clear and refreshingly new look at the key texts. With careful scholarship and sound reasoning he resolves some important translation issues. I would recommend Bible translators take note of this book. * G. J. Dannenberg, Bible translation consultant for Turkic languages *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is very thorough, leaving no stone unturned. Some of the ‘stones’ certainly needed to be turned! * Mike Wheate, formerly International Personnel Officer, Operation Mobilisation *\u003cbr\u003eAs an arbitrator I look for careful assessment of evidence and contextually-sensitive reasoning. This book has both. * Dr Robert Gaitskell QC, international arbitrator *\u003cbr\u003eAn important contribution to a debate on which all sides need to listen carefully to each other with humility and a shared commitment to Scripture. * Peter Baker, Senior Minister, Lansdowne Church, Bournemouth, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThis thought-provoking and masterly analysis is also a thoroughly enjoyable read. * Marcus Taverner QC, London *\u003cbr\u003eIf as evangelicals we are sometimes tempted to do our theology (and preach our sermons!) by proof-texting, I know of no better antidote than this book: Bartlett’s close attention to context transformed my understanding of several passages I thought I knew well. Drawing on his legal background and wide reading, and with absolute respect for the authority of Scripture, his careful scholarship has produced an analysis which is comprehensive, meticulous, and clearly expressed. What’s more, it is totally accessible to the interested layman, as it avoids technical terms and does not require knowledge of Greek – he explains what you need to know as you go along. * Revd Charles Mason, Priest in Charge of Waltham St Lawrence, Oxford Diocese *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a landmark book on this key topic. It is extremely readable, yet an in-depth study. Unexpectedly I found it to be a page-turner, because I really wanted to know what was on the next page. Andrew Bartlett has a profound understanding of Scripture. This book has changed and clarified my own thinking. It should be read by all Christians, from new converts to archbishops. Wives, buy it for your husbands! Husbands, buy it for your wives! * Professor Sir Colin Humphreys CBE FRS FREng, author of ‘The Mystery of the Last Supper’ and ‘The Miracles of Exodus’ *\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Bartlett has carefully studied Scripture to offer a sound assessment of both the complementarian and egalitarian positions. Without advocating one over the other, he has presented very helpful principles to discern how men and women may best witness and serve together for God’s glory in each ministry context. * Ven. Wong Tak Meng, Archdeacon, Diocese of Singapore, Dean of Cambodia *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a superb, cogent, precisely written and enjoyable book. Its author has endeavoured with considerable success to draw together a huge amount of material on a topic which all too easily leads to more heat than light. His qualifications in law perhaps lend themselves to a more objective reading of Scripture as he seeks to apply a judicial perspective to evaluating the material. His willingness to criticise both sides’ reasoning is noteworthy. Another real advantage of this book is that its key focus is ‘the biblical texts, in their context’. Ruthlessly centring on this results in a detailed exegesis of key texts which helps the reader to keep an eye on the ball, in what is a very large discussion. The book makes a real contribution to the debate. It also suggests some valuable new approaches to the evidence, not least on 1 Timothy 2. And chapter 16 (‘Taking stock and moving closer together’) should be required reading for anyone approaching this topic. Whether you consider yourself egalitarian or complementarian, this book will challenge, provoke and deepen your understanding of Scripture. * Paul Woodbridge, former Tutor in New Testament at Oak Hill College, London, Secretary of the Tyndale Fellowship *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a stunning contribution to the debate about men and women in the church, for which I'm deeply grateful. The author’s determination to follow the evidence wherever it leads, based above all else on meticulous handling of the Bible, has blown apart my assumptions, resolved my uncertainties, transformed my thinking, and built new convictions. I pray that the Lord will use it to help evangelical churches align themselves more faithfully with Scripture. * Tony Watkins, speaker and writer on media and the Bible, recently an elder of Above Bar Church, Southampton (FIEC), now studying for a doctorate in practical theology *\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Bartlett’s magisterial study should be required reading for anyone exercising a teaching or leading ministry in any church. Every Bible student and ordinand should have it on their shelves as it is not just a book to read once but a resource showing how to rightly handle the word. With devastating thoroughness, he subjects some of the most challenging passages in Scripture to rigorous scrutiny to establish their true intent. He gives light to views from some illustrious predecessors in the faith which may make you wince in shame. He did not expect to arrive at some of his conclusions when he set out to write, and not everyone will necessarily agree with all of them, but as we spur one another on in our desire as men and women to be obedient as God’s redeemed image bearers, we will have our eyes opened and our lives blessed by yet more truth that shines from God’s holy word. * Rt Revd Keith Sinclair, Bishop of Birkenhead, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThe treatment of 1 Corinthians 7 is the best I've come across. Very sound arguments. * Revd Kuruvilla Chandy, Trivandrum, Kerala, India *\u003cbr\u003eMany dedicated and talented Christian women look for creative and honest ways to follow their calling in a way that is consistent with the teaching of the Bible. This can be a painful and confusing struggle. Some go to work in secular fields because they feel they are not welcome to use their gifts in the church. This book is analytical, dialogical and honest. It helps spiritually gifted women to find their place. But the issues which it addresses are not important only for individual women. They have to do with the presence of God’s kingdom, missional effectiveness, and – last but not least – godly attitudes among all believers. * Dr Einike Pilli, Principal, Tartu Theological Seminary, Estonia *\u003cbr\u003eNo matter what your current opinion, this thoroughly researched book will make you think... and brings a fresh perspective to the debate. -- Julia Garschagen * speaker and apologist *","brand":"Inter-Varsity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741185356119,"sku":"9781783599172","price":24.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781783599172.jpg?v=1720056840"},{"product_id":"the-four-loves-9780007461226","title":"The Four Loves","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC.S.

Every life is sacred. James Martin, SJ, author, Learning to Pray: A Guide for Everyone\u003cbr\u003eAt a time of deep divisions, when religious faith is too often reduced to a marker of political allegiance and lines are too quickly drawn between friend and foe, Shane Claiborne offers a voice of resistance. Drawing on biblical teaching and church history, Claiborne invites readers to grapple with difficult issues with honesty, compassion, and courage. Rethinking Life is not just a book for progressive Christians but is for all Christians who seek to discern how to live faithfully in troubled times. This challenging, clear-eyed, and hope-filled book is a gift to the American church. Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author, New York Times bestseller Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation\u003cbr\u003eGreat truth is invariably simple, but not at all simplistic. It builds right on top of the very basics. Thus we have to forever relearn the basics--real well! Shane Claiborne does this almost naturally. Fr. Richard Rohr, Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque\u003cbr\u003eHere is a book that courageously and effectively tackles several difficult issues around the ethics of life for those who wish to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Whether it is abortion, capital punishment, eugenics, war, or the historic culpability of the church, Shane Claiborne avoids oversimplification in any direction by focusing on the human element, offering provocative questions for both individuals and small groups to chew on. Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church; author, Love Is the Way and The Power of Love\u003cbr\u003eI resonate with this book in the marrow of my bones! In Rethinking Life, Shane Claiborne shows us what a genuine pro-life theology, ethic, and practice demands of us and looks like in practice. Authentic Christianity has always been robustly pro-life, but it must be more than a politicized slogan selectively and narrowly applied. In Rethinking Life, Claiborne's thinking is as keen as his heart is compassionate. And best of all, Jesus shines through on every page. Brian Zahnd, author, When Everything's on Fire\u003cbr\u003eIn matters of life and death and of the heart of God, the stakes are too high to limit our conversation partners.

In a moment when the politics of life is leading to death, master storyteller and public theologian Shane Claiborne leads followers of Jesus on a brave pilgrimage through the meaning, ethics, and politics of life--and death--and love. This is one of those books you will cherish and quote for the rest of your life. Lisa Sharon Harper, president and founder, FreedomRoad.us; author, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World and How to Repair It All\u003cbr\u003eShane Claiborne has once again offered the world a book that reorients our spiritual worldview toward compassion, justice, and humility. Rethinking Life dares the reader to embrace a sacred spiritual framework for life beyond hollow political talking points and shallow religious doctrine; we are called to witness the sacred in other people, cultures, traditions, faiths, classes, and racial classifications. This book pushes believers to fully live a Christ-centered life and challenges the nonbeliever to construct a moral philosophy rooted in compassion. Otis Moss III, author, Dancing in the Darkness: Spiritual Lessons for Thriving in Turbulent Times\u003cbr\u003eShane Claiborne is a force of gospel power. In this book he mobilizes his energy, wisdom, honesty, compassion, and practicality into a manifesto for transformation. As a truth teller, he does not flinch from the indices of our skewed public life, marked as they are by anti-neighborly violence. In the midst of this truth telling, however, Claiborne attests to the buoyancy of a gospel faith that can be acted out in any circumstance of our distorted life together. If readers follow his testimony, they will surely be led to life in a 'contrast culture' that traffics in God's love and restorative justice, which are sure to create zones of well-being. This is a book that is wise in its expose and fervent in its hope giving. What matters is to read attentively and then to act accordingly. Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary\u003cbr\u003eShane's latest offering to the church, Rethinking Life, provides a useful juxtaposition of personal encounters and sacred text to guide us toward shaping a theologically sound Christian ethic informed by our lived experiences. While we may not arrive at the same conclusion in every circumstance, Rethinking Life sets a bountiful table of ideas and tools useful in reasoning together, when collective reasoning seems rare. I am certain I will return to this book often in the days and years to come. Rev. Traci D. Blackmon, associate general minister, Justice and Local Church Ministries, United Church of Christ\u003cbr\u003eWhat does love require of us? That is a question Christ followers need to be asking at every crossroads (and with every breath), and everyone else would benefit from asking it as well. This question and a variety of biblically rooted and profound answers are at the core of Rethinking Life. Shane Claiborne has a unique and powerful voice as he comments on the call of the church at this historic moment; he makes camp in the no-man's-land between the two sides of the cultural wars, exuding the winsome fragrance of Christ. You don't have to agree with all of his answers (not even his wife does, as Shane admits in the book), but there is no doubt that his questions matter, and his responses are provocative in all the best ways. Rev. Dr. Alexia Salvatierra, academic dean, Centro Latino; associate professor of mission and global transformation, Fuller Theological Seminary\u003cbr\u003eWhen I am dismayed by how little Christians are turning to Jesus these days, along comes my dear younger brother in Christ, Shane Claiborne, with a new word or call, and now a new book! My students at Georgetown are deeply hungry for the 'rethinking of life,' and Shane is one of the best authors I know to help them do that. Despite their skepticism of religion, the young people I talk with every day are still deeply attracted to Jesus, and Shane offers them a real introduction to the one who most guides us to rethink everything. Jim Wallis, inaugural chair and founding director, Center on Faith and Justice at Georgetown University\u003cbr\u003eWith theological savvy, historical insight, and uncommon wisdom, Shane Claiborne reminds us of the subversive power of telling the truth, being unafraid to follow wherever it leads. In summoning the followers of Jesus to become 'midwives of a better world,' Claiborne's prophetic voice has never been clearer--or more timely.

Responding to key ethical questions of today, Lee applies the moral meaning and implications of the New Covenant in Jesus Christ to twenty-first-century life, characterized by fluidity, fragmentation, division, and violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Ethics\u003c\/i\u003ebegins by introducing covenant as the central drama and storyline of Scripture that culminates in the New Covenant of Jesus.

Lee proposes a creative model of Christian ethics based on the New Covenant of Jesus and its organizing patterns, reconstructing the key categories of ethics (agency, norms, authority of Scripture, ethical discernment, etc.) and drawing out four practices?communicative engagement, just peacemaking, grassroots organizing, and nonviolence.The result is a new model of Christian ethics that is inclusive, egalitarian, ecological, and justice- and peace-oriented, which overcomes the limitations of traditional covenantal ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the second part of the book, Lee systematically applies New Covenant ethics to the most urgent and controversial social issues of our time: democraticpolitics, economic ethics, creation care, criminal justice, race, sex and marriage, medicine, and war and peace. Through his deep, pastoral, and irenic inquiries into these difficult topics, Lee demonstrates a pattern of covenantal moral reasoning that undercuts the dominant neoliberal ethos of individualism and transactional relationship that more and more influences Christian moral decisions. His conclusion is that as covenant has been at the heart of modern democracy, human rights, civil society, and civic formation, a renewed understanding of covenant centered in Jesus can help to heal our broken society and imperiled planet, and to reorganize the fragmented human life in the era of globalization and digitization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William B Eerdmans Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865933459799,"sku":"9780802876874","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"the-jewish-family-ethics-textbook-9780827613232","title":"The Jewish Family Ethics Textbook","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Jewish Family Ethics Textbook guides teachers and students of all ages and backgrounds in mining classical and modern Jewish texts to inform decision-making on hard choices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Jewish Family Ethics Textbook\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent work for anyone looking for an introductory text in Jewish ethics.\"—Rabbi Rachel Esserman, \u003ci\u003eReporter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Scheindlin has provided us with a gift to continue to look at ourselves and those we are close to, whether family or friends, and to engage in a continual learning process by linking our contemporary lives to the ethics and values of our rich tradition.\"—Stephen G.
