Baker Publishing Group We`ll All Be Free – How a Culture of White
Book SynopsisDiscover a Better Standard of Excellence You're not good enough. How many of us internalize this belief before we even reach adulthood? How many of us feel unworthy and unable to live up to what seem like impossible-yet-completely-arbitrary standards? Where do these toxic beliefs about ourselves come from? And who told us there is a way we are "supposed" to be anyway? With passion and compassion, Caroline J. Sumlin reveals the force that keeps all of us, whether we are part of a marginalized group or not, from freely expressing who we are as image bearers of God: white supremacy culture. Sharing her own story, she helps you see the wide-ranging effects of living in a culture of white supremacy. She identifies the damaging beliefs we internalize from our very earliest days and shows us how to find clarity and freedom as we dismantle the oppressive structures that hem us in and force us to conform. If you have struggled with perfectionism, self-doubt, unworthiness, or the unrelenting pressure to pursue someone else's version of "success," you will find here the tools you need to silence the voices that seek to keep you down and to value yourself as never before.

Simon & Schuster Why Buddhism Is True: The Science and Philosophy
Book SynopsisFrom one of America’s most brilliant writers, a New York Times bestselling journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and enduring happiness.At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer—and the reason we make other people suffer—is that we don’t see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. In this “sublime” (The New Yorker), pathbreaking book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life—how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. He also shows why this transformation works, drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution. This book is the culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright’s landmark book on evolutionary psychology, The Moral Animal, and deepened as he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some of the world’s most skilled meditators. The result is a story that is “provocative, informative and...deeply rewarding” (The New York Times Book Review), and as entertaining as it is illuminating. Written with the wit, clarity, and grace for which Wright is famous, Why Buddhism Is True lays the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age and shows how, in a time of technological distraction and social division, we can save ourselves from ourselves, both as individuals and as a species.Trade Review“A sublime achievement.” —Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker“Provocative, informative and... deeply rewarding.... I found myself not just agreeing [with] but applauding the author.” —The New York Times Book Review“This is exactly the book that so many of us are looking for. Writing with his characteristic wit, brilliance, and tenderhearted skepticism, Robert Wright tells us everything we need to know about the science, practice, and power of Buddhism.” —Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet“I have been waiting all my life for a readable, lucid explanation of Buddhism by a tough-minded, skeptical intellect. Here it is. This is a scientific and spiritual voyage unlike any I have taken before.” —Martin Seligman, professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and bestselling author of Authentic Happiness“A fantastically rational introduction to meditation…. It constantly made me smile a little, and occasionally chuckle…. A wry, self-deprecating, and brutally empirical guide to the avoidance of suffering.” —Andrew Sullivan, New York Magazine “[A] superb, level-headed new book.” —Oliver Burkeman, The Guardian“Robert Wright brings his sharp wit and love of analysis to good purpose, making a compelling case for the nuts and bolts of how meditation actually works. This book will be useful for all of us, from experienced meditators to hardened skeptics who are wondering what all the fuss is about.” —Sharon Salzberg, cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society and bestselling author of Real Happiness “What happens when someone steeped in evolutionary psychology takes a cool look at Buddhism? If that person is, like Robert Wright, a gifted writer, the answer is this surprising, enjoyable, challenging, and potentially life-changing book.” —Peter Singer, professor of philosophy at Princeton University and author of Ethics in the Real World“Delightfully personal, yet broadly important.” —NPR“Rendered in a down-to-earth and highly readable style, with witty quips and self-effacing humility that give the book its distinctive appeal and persuasive power.” —America Magazine“Beautifully written and persuasively argued, Why Buddhism is True is the most accessible book on some of Buddhism’s extraordinary, even radical, claims.... Powerful, eloquent, spiritual and scientific... A creative and compelling exploration of the Buddha’s mind.” —The Tribune (India)“[Why Buddhism is True] will become the go-to explication of Buddhism for modern western seekers, just as The Moral Animal remains the go-to explication of evolutionary psychology.” —Scientific American“Cool, rational, and dryly cynical, Robert Wright is an unlikely guide to the Dharma and ‘not-self.’ But in this extraordinary book, he makes a powerful case for a Buddhist way of life and a Buddhist view of the mind. With great clarity and wit, he brings together personal anecdotes with insights from evolutionary theory and cognitive science to defend an ancient yet radical world-view. This is a truly transformative work.” —Paul Bloom, professor of psychology at Yale University and author of Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion“[Written] with such intelligence and grace.” —Patheos“What a terrific book. The combination of evolutionary psychology, philosophy, astute readings of Buddhist tradition, and personal meditative experience is absolutely unique and clarifying.” —Jonathan Gold, professor of religion at Princeton University and author of Paving the Great Way: Vasubandhu's Unifying Buddhist Philosophy“Joyful and insightful... both entertaining and informative.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)“A light, accessible guide for anyone interested in the practical benefits of meditation.” —Vox“A well-organized, freshly conceived introduction to core concepts of Buddhist thought.... Wright lightens the trek through some challenging philosophical concepts with well-chosen anecdotes and a self-deprecating humor.” —Kirkus Reviews“[Wright’s] argument contains many interesting and illuminating points.” —The Washington Post“Amusing and straight-forward.... Anyone... can safely dip their toes in the water here.” —BookFilter“Regardless of their own religious or spiritual roots, many open-minded readers who accompany [Wright] on this journey will find themselves agreeing with him.” —Shelf Awareness

Hay House UK Ltd Sermons on the Couch: A Year of Inspirational
Book SynopsisA friendly and affirming collection of 52 secular essays with interactive journaling prompts for those seeking spiritual connection and comfort outside the confines of organized religion.In Sermons on the Couch, Cindy Gentry offers weekly sermons that meet people where they are—whether religious or spiritual, agnostic or atheist. Instead of references to deities, her lessons are placed in the context of a force in the Universe. Instead of Biblical quotes, she uses the wise words of celebrities, scientists, poets, and thinkers. Rather than traditional hymns, she closes each sermon with suggested popular songs from across genres. At the end of each Sermon, she offers journal questions to guide further contemplation of the weekly topic.For example, the book’s opening sermon is titled “Resolutions.” To avoid the self-criticism that comes from not following through on resolutions, Cindy suggests reframing them into more general goals such as becoming a happier, healthier person, improving relationships, and making the world a better place. Journal questions prompt reflection on past experiences with resolutions and what the reader might do differently this year, and the hymn selection for this sermon is New Beginning, by Tracy Chapman.Writes Cindy, “So, that is my mission. To enjoy a laugh and a song, but most of all, to remind people each week, despite the crazy ups and downs of life, that they are perfect in their imperfections, the Universe loves them unconditionally, and that we can hold on to each other.”

Book Synopsis'A delightful book from a gentle, generous spirit.' - SIMON RUSSELL BEALE'Philosophical speculation, country lore, rock music, spiritual exploration, erudite and beautifully written, this collection of reflections and meditations is a surprise and a delight. The kind of shot in the arm the Church of England badly needs - and is so rarely to be found.' - SALLEY VICKERSDuring the unprecedented circumstances of Spring 2020, Colin Heber Percy began writing a daily newsletter of reflections and uplifting stories to stay in touch with his parishioners. Word spread, and soon his bulletins were being eagerly consumed by readers around the country and beyond.In this thought-provoking and invigorating book, Heber-Percy draws upon a kaleidoscopic knowledge of nature, philosophy, poetry and music, as well as religious writings, and interlaces them with amusing and touching vignettes from his Wiltshire parish.As he follows the changing seasons, Heber-Percy moves from the seemingly small and mundane to ponder big life questions - can you find heaven in a Londis shop, why is the Bible not like the Highway Code, what on earth we are all doing here - while gently offering up wisdom and sustenance for all, regardless of faith and creed.Trade Review'A delightful book from a gentle, generous spirit.' * SIMON RUSSELL BEALE *'Philosophical speculation, country lore, rock music, spiritual exploration, erudite and beautifully written, this collection of reflections and meditations is a surprise and a delight.

Baker Publishing Group The Doctrine of Good Works – Reclaiming a
Book SynopsisChristianity Today 2024 Book Award (Academic Theology) In Titus, Paul says Christ redeemed a people "zealous for good works." Despite this declaration and others like it, the doctrine of good works has fallen on hard times in contemporary Protestant theology and practice. At best, it's neglected--as in most systematic theologies and in too much church teaching. At worst, it's viewed with suspicion--as a threat to salvation by grace alone through faith alone. In this important work addressing a significant gap in current theological literature, the authors argue that by jettisoning a doctrine of good works, the contemporary church contradicts historical Protestantism and, more importantly, biblical teaching. They combine their areas of expertise--exegesis, systematic and historical theology, and practical theology--to help readers recover and embrace a positive doctrine of good works. They survey historical Protestant teaching to show the importance of the doctrine to our forebears, engage the scriptural testimony on the role of good works, formulate a theology of salvation and good works, and explore pastoral applications.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Recovering an Essential Doctrine1.

Plus a call to all Christian congregations to eschew the lure of critical theory and hold to the path of an individual relationship with God.USA TODAY BESTSELLER! The Ground Is Moving The death of George Floyd at the hands of police in the summer of 2020 shocked the nation. As riots rocked American cities, Christians affirmed from the pulpit and in social media that “black lives matter” and that racial justice “is a gospel issue.” But what if there is more to the social justice movement than those Christians understand? Even worse: What if they’ve been duped into preaching ideas that actually oppose the Kingdom of God? In this powerful book, Voddie Baucham, a preacher, professor, and cultural apologist, explains the sinister worldview behind the social justice movement and Critical Race Theory—revealing how it already has infiltrated some seminaries, leading to internal denominational conflict, canceled careers, and lost livelihoods. Like a fault line, it threatens American culture in general—and the evangelical church in particular. Whether you’re a layperson who has woken up in a strange new world and wonders how to engage sensitively and effectively in the conversation on race or a pastor who is grappling with a polarized congregation, this book offers the clarity and understanding to either hold your ground or reclaim it.

Zondervan A Burning House
Book SynopsisDespite the civil rights progress he fought for and saw on the horizon in the 1950s and ''60s, Martin Luther King Jr.—increasingly concerned by America''s moral vision, admitted—I''ve come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house.In A Burning House, Brandon Washington contends that American Evangelicalism is a house ablaze: burning in the destructive fires of discrimination and injustice. The stain of segregation remains prevalent, not only in our national institutions, but also in our churches, and this has long tarnished the witness of Christianity and hampered our progress toward a Christ-like vision of Shalom—peace, justice, and wholeness—in the world. Common doctrine may unite black and white evangelicals, but rifts such as social ethics and cultural influences still separate us.Throughout this challenging but reconciliatory book, Washington gives a historical and theological appraisal of American evangelicalism to uTrade Review''Friendly fire' is a strange expression: how can accidental killing ever be 'friendly' no matter who pulled the trigger? The expression should be reserved for warning shots fired to alert one to clear and present danger! Brandon Washington, an African American evangelical pastor and scholar, provides us in this book with 'friendly fire' of this second kind. Rev. Washington is one of the friendliest and most committed Christians I know, but he has learned, seen and experienced things in his life that many white evangelicals never have. Hopefully, we can work together to put out this fire and save the church.' * Craig L. Blomberg, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of New Testament, Denver Seminary *'A Burning House?falls in a category of its own when it comes to today's Christian literature. By joining biblical faith with sound reasoning, Pastor Brandon Washington tackles a number of sensitive topics such as race, history, culture and the church.? His presentation incorporates personal accounts with hard data to offer thought provoking arguments pertaining to American Evangelicalism.? This book is real, relevant, and right on time for believers who desire to see His kingdom come and His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.' * Pastor John K. Jenkins, Sr. Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church of Glenarden *'Brandon Washington has emerged as a much-needed prophetic voice for such a time as this. When many 'exvangelicals' are publicly disavowing American evangelicalism and leaving the church, he affirms his commitment to evangelicalism as he not only diagnoses what has gone wrong but offers a cogent way forward. He passionately calls us to restore American evangelicalism by a return to our roots by bringing the gospel to bear on sins such as injustice, racism, classism, and sexism. He deals with historical, cultural and theological complexity in a way that is engaging and accessible.' * Cynthia Long Westfall, PhD Associate Professor, McMaster Divinity College *'It is impossible to convey the content of the gospel without attaching cultural fingerprints. Such is the case with what my friend, Brandon Washington repeatedly references as 'American Evangelicalism'. Because of this we are in need of a 'virtuous deconstruction,' where the content of the gospel has been emancipated from its cultural captivity.?A Burning House, is a timely, prophetic forensic into this much needed process.' * Dr. Bryan Loritts Author, Insider/Outsider *'Prophetic truth is hard truth. It demands that we see what we would rather ignore and do what we would rather neglect. But prophetic truth is also hopeful truth for it points us to One who redeems all things. This book speaks prophetic truth, in equal measure hard and hopeful. It calls us to look at our history and our present honestly, to see our place in both, to grieve, and to repent. And then it lifts our gaze to a vision of gospel-centered redemption that inspires and commands. Evangelicals need this book. Even more they need to heed its voice.' * Mark Young, PhD President, Denver Seminary *'Virtuous deconstruction?is what Washington calls this expose of racism in the history of the United States and the American church. This book is truly virtuous: it is honest while gracious, courageous and informed. It is a timely call by an evangelical African American pastor-theologian to a compromised evangelicalism to rediscover its authenticity and commit itself to an authentic gospel and kingdom ethic. Direct, passionate, and constructive...a necessary word!' * M. Daniel Carroll R. (Rodas), PhD Professor of Biblical Studies and Pedagogy, Wheaton College and Graduate School *

For many, beginning the process of formation the bible is already a natural place to begin, and models of theological reflection which start in other places can be hard to swallow.

Offering an alternative to the usual models of theological reflection, this careful and helpful guide demonstrates to students the possibilities which emerge when the starting point for theological reflective practice.Trade Review‘Finding ways to help ministers to reflect theologically and profitably on life and practice is one of the most important tasks in ministerial education. There is widespread agreement that existing ways of doing this are often frustrating and not really fit for purpose. Helen Collin’s take on this challenge situating theological reflection in relation to the study of the bible. This is an important contribution to the developing conversation around this vital area.” -- Pete Ward, Durham University, UK“This is an important book that challenges some of the dominant approaches in practical theology. It seeks to recover the authoritative role that Scripture has in theological reflection, which is to be welcomed. It also pays attention to the role of the Holy Spirit and Christian experience.

It’s time for disillusioned, discouraged, and divided Christians, and the next generation, to follow Jesus into a different future. But we have to make a choice: an American gospel or the biblical gospel. Worldly division or otherworldly unity. Compromise with the idols of our country or commitment to God’s call in our lives. In Don’t Hold Back, Platt encourages followers of Jesus to take necessary risks and find unimaginable reward as we:• Work for—not against—each other, especially when we disagree • Turn the tide on centuries of racial division in the church• Trust all of God’s Word with conviction while loving everyone around us with compassion• Do justice with kindness, and experience the good life according to God• Play our part in spreading the gospel to all the nations of the worldWe can experience the full wonder of Jesus and transcendent beauty of his church here and now. But in order to do so, some things need to be different. Starting not in “those people,” but in each one of us. With the gospel in our hearts and God as our prize, let’s press on and don’t hold back.

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Something Worth Living For: God, the World,
Book SynopsisLengthy, heavy, theological tomes have their place, but sometimes we need a simple way of understanding the doctrine that is central to our faith. The Westminster Shorter Catechism is designed to do just that. Randall Greenwald takes the question and answer format that it follows and, in short chapters, encourages us to dig for the gold that is to be found in its pages. Read, and be enriched.Trade ReviewRandy has a great gift for finding illustrations, real parallels between the deep things of redemption and our present experience. This is the kind of teaching that will move modern people to study the Catechism, and the Scriptures, for themselves. -- John M. Frame (Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida)... brings the deep, rich, biblical and reformed theology of the 17th century Westminster Shorter Catechism to life in the 21st century in a way that is warm, inviting, accessible, conversational and centered in Christ and the gospel of saving and transforming grace. -- Mark L. Dalbey (President, Covenant Theological Seminary, Creve Coeur, Missouri)As a professional writer and editor, I’ve been consistently impressed by the quality of Randy’s writing; I’m also struck by his deep theological knowledge, and how it’s paired with genuine pastoral concern for those around him. This is a project that requires writing chops, theological acumen and a pastor’s heart. Randy’s got them all. -- Nathaniel Espino (Founding Partner of the Warsaw–based PR agency Aldgate Strategy Group)Finally a book of theology and the Reformed faith that won’t bore the reader to death. This is a book that will be such an incredible tool for small study groups, leadership training and laypeople who are often looking for an understandable and useful guide to the Christian faith. -- Steve Brown (Founder and Bible Teacher, Key Life Network, author, ‘Laughter and Lament: The Radical Freedom of Joy and Sorrow’)Randy Greenwald’s Something Worth Living For is the help we need to point us back to the ancient paths. This important work will strengthen God’s people toward a beautiful orthodoxy that our confused world so desperately needs to see. -- Ray Cortese (Senior Pastor, Seven River Presbyterian Church, LeCanto, Florida)… explains the enduring truths of the Christian Faith in accessible and interesting language that neither talks down to the reader nor fails to connect with practical concerns we all have. Highly recommended. -- Craig Carter (Professor of Theology, Tyndale University, Toronto, Ontario)Do we really need another book on the Westminster Shorter Catechism? It might be tempting to say we don’t, since this classic summary of Bible doctrine already has countless summaries and explanations of it in circulation. But both the title and the table of contents of this particular volume immediately captured my imagination. Here is a fresh and thoughtfully applied exploration of the great truths that were first summarised for a distant generation, revisited for today. -- Mark Johnston (Minister, Bethel Presbyterian Church, Cardiff, Wales)The Shorter Catechism is one of those ‘treasures in the attic,’ as the late Dr. Hughes Old called them, that in more recent years have been re-discovered, brought down into the living room, dusted off, and re-utilized. It is a classic tool for parents who wish to transmit the content and reality of their faith to their children. Part of the dusting off process includes fresh expositions addressed to the living situation of the present generation. Randall Greenwald has done the church the favor of providing that fresh exposition. It will prove to be an effective aid to parents and Sunday school teachers who wish to communicate the gospel to the young people of today. -- Terry L. Johnson (Senior Pastor, Independent Presbyterian Church, Savannah, Georgia)Catechisms are an ancient and time–tested method that Christians have employed to pass on the core of what they believe about God and what He requires believers to do. Through a simple question–and–answer approach, young and old have been taught biblical truth about our great God and His ways. Randall Greenwald’s new discussion of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, one of the most treasured of these catechisms, is indeed a welcome tool for exploring the riches of this particular catechism and, even better, for growing in the grace of the Lord Jesus. -- Michael A. G. Haykin (Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)This book is a needed addition to family and church libraries, to every pastor’s study, and to seminary curricula. I will use it as a help in my personal devotions as well as in my teaching ministry. I recommend it highly! -- Michael E. Osborne (Dean of Students, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando and Author of ‘Surviving Ministry: How to Weather the Storms of Church Leadership’)How refreshing to find this pastoral entryway to Christianity that uses the Westminster Shorter Catechism to help the interested perceive something more of the breadth and length and height and depth of the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge. I commend this book to all searching for something worth living for. -- Michael Allen (John Dyer Trimble Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida)

Scripture contains lots of guidance on ethical issues, including statements about polygamy, slavery, divorce, sex, and other things that sound strange to our modern ears. Even Christians, who believe the Bible is God's word, disagree on whether women should wear head coverings, whether Christians can ever lie, whether women should preach, and whether Christians should drink alcohol. How can we resolve these issues and figure out how to apply the Bible to our lives? David Instone-Brewer helps answer this question by showing how the Bible's moral commands were understood in their ancient cultural context. The more we understand what God and the biblical authors intended to communicate to the original audience, the better we will be able to make sense of how to apply those commands today. In brief chapters that address a wide variety of moral issues, Instone-Brewer equips Bible readers with a paradigm they can use to discern matters for themselves: Is a biblical command timeless or time-bound? If the command itself is time-bound, what is the timeless purpose behind it? And how do we remain faithful to the Bible's commands today even when handling subjects the Bible does not address? The Scripture in Context series is driven by the conviction that there is nothing as exciting, direct, provocative, and spiritually enlightening as the Bible when we read it as it was meant to be read. Each book in the series dives into the ancient cultural context behind Bible passages, examining the effect this context had on what the Bible writers were saying and how we should understand their words today. When we read the Bible in light of its context, it is anything but boring. Instead, God's word can speak to us as powerfully as it did to those who first read it. Chapters are short and informal, so it's easy to read one chapter at a time or the whole book straight through.

Columbia University Press The Body and Society
Book SynopsisFocuses on the practice of permanent sexual renunciation-continence, celibacy, and life-long virginity - in Christian circles from the first to the fifth centuries AD. This book questions how theological views on sexuality and the human body both mirrored and shaped the uneven relationships between men and women.Trade ReviewThe reader of Peter Brown's work is always uncertain which to admire most, the grace and clarity, the scope and erudition, or the ability to bring diverse and complex units into a meaningful whole. These merits are all fully on display in The Body and Society. New York Times Book Review Peter Brown's book is a great achievement. It will long be read, its insights studied and discussed, and its prose admired and enjoyed... His work is a tour de force, showing a mastery of text and subject through six centuries of history. -- W. H. C. Frend New York Review of Books A profound exploration of the meaning of embodiment, celibacy, and chastity for early Christians. Christianity Today A work of rediscovery and re-evaluation, written in luminous, heart-stopping prose. -- Nicolas Rothwell The Australian A seminal work. Bryn Mawr Classical Review A truly magisterial work of historical scholarship by the greatest living authority on late antique Mediterranean civilization. It will be the definitive work on this subject for the foreseeable future. Choice [A] compelling and human study of the depths and heights of sexual renunciation... Brown's detached yet compassionate sympathy recreates the subtle and complex world of late-antique sexuality and renunciation with a skill which is uniquely his. This is not a history of the idea of virginity, but a sharpyly-focused series of pictures of its practice. London Review of Books Only Peter Brown could have written The Body and Society. The book... is the work of an acute and immensely learned mind soaked in the sources, with an enviable power to bring together widely scattered and recondite texts.

HarperCollins Publishers The Spiral Staircase
Book SynopsisA raw, intensely personal memoir of spiritual exploration from one of the world's great commentators on religion.After seven years in a convent, which she left, dismayed by its restrictions, an experience recounted in Through the Narrow Gate', Karen Armstrong struggled to establish herself in a new way of life, and became entrapped in a downward spiral, haunted by despair, anorexia and suicidal feelings.Despite her departure from the convent she remained within the Catholic Church until the God she believed in ''died on me'', and she entered a wild and Godless period of crazy parties and numerous lovers'. Her attempts to reach happiness and carve out a career failed repeatedly, in spectacular fashion. She began writing her bestseller A History of God' in a spirit of scepticism, but through studying other religious traditions she found a very different kind of faith which drew from Christianity, Judaism and Islam and, eventually, spiritual and personal calm.In her own words, her story iTrade Review‘An exceptionally impressive autobiography…Karen Armstrong’s account of her spiralling journey provokes thought and inspires respect.’Daily Telegraph ‘The book deserves many readers…Karen Armstrong must be a woman of iron to have survived, made a career and a life.’ Hilary Mantel ‘Admirably lucid…she gives a more exact and vivid account of the pleasures of writing than any I have seen.’ Sunday Times ‘Unputdownable – absorbing, moving.’ Daily Mail ‘A subtle and funny memoir.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘Armstrong manages to put into words something that most of us cannot express.’ New Statesman

Thomas Nelson Publishers Prophetic Integrity
Book SynopsisProphetic Integrity is a book for those who believe that God still speaks today but have serious questions about those within the church that identify as prophets. R.T. Kendall shares personal experiences with the prophetic movement, the good and the bad, and offers a way forward in trusting God despite the failures of church leaders.Trade Review'Dr. Kendall has penned a very insightful treatise on the biblical prophetic; detailing its highest and best use. His decades-long experience with its proper deployment is invaluable to the discussion regarding how we position ourselves to hear God speak today. A necessary read.' * Brett Fuller, pastor, Grace Covenant Church, Chantilly, Virginia, chaplain, Washington Commanders *'I count it a privilege to know Dr. Kendall as a dear friend, as one who walks the talk and whose longing has been to honour his God and to see his church revived and blessed. The spirit in which he has written about faulty theologies is consistently eirenic, with an evident heart-heavy burden for the church, for the truth, and for biblical purity and integrity of living. In this day of flaccid compromise where the world has destructively infiltrated the church rather than the church infiltrating the world, this book is both needed and intensely relevant.' * Rev. David Cohen, former general director of Scripture Union (UK) and founding director of Moringa Associates, Australia *'I have cried over the state of the prophetic movement--we are supposed to represent God, but we have been proven to represent party lines and opinions; we are supposed to be ones that stand before God, but we have sold ourselves to stand in front of men. May a standard be raised, and may the fame of God be restored in and through the church. May prophetic people remember that we have merely been given one of the tools that should be used in the one commission given to the church--to make disciples of Jesus Christ!' * John E. Thomas, Streams Ministries (founded by John Paul Jackson) *'If ever there was a day for prophets to 'stand before the Lord,' as Elijah did, it is today. Prophets cannot shortcut this privilege--and when they do, confusion and compromise occurs. In the world of chaos and bewilderment that we live in, the word of the prophets is needed with humility, clarity, preciseness, and integrity. R. T.'s book is a good wake-up call for us all to be men and women of the secret place.' * Grant Brewster, pastor, Island Church, Bainbridge Island, Washington *'In the latter part of the previous century and in the waxing years of the twenty-first, I cannot imagine a more qualified voice than that of Rev. Dr. R. T. Kendall to speak to the subject of prophetic integrity. From televangelists to conventions, from media preachers to conventions, and from cessationists to toll-free 800 numbers where you can get a personal prophecy on the spot, there is pervasive and embedded misinformation about biblical prophecy. With an Oxford doctorate, massive experience in a world pulpit at Westminster Chapel, and some of the most published material from a pastor/theologian of this era, no one is more qualified to speak to this issue than Rev. Dr. Kendall--R. T. to me, a great friend and encourager. This will clarify your thinking, give fresh impetus to genuine prophecy, and produce freedom in your church.' * Joel C. Gregory, professor of preaching, holder of the George W. Truett Endowed Chair of Preaching and Evangelism, director of the Kyle Lake Center for Effective Preaching, Baylor University's George W. Truett Theological Seminary *'My good friend R. T. Kendall delivers a clear and compelling call to the church for repentance and righteousness that is desperately needed. To a generation stumbling in the darkness, Prophetic Integrity is biblical light from a pastor and scholar's heart which addresses the nature of God and how we can know and trust him. Read this book and discover a path forward to unite and ignite Christians and churches as we seek to fulfill the mission of Christ until he comes.' * Dr. Jack Graham, pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church, Plano, Texas *'One of the final signs of impending judgment on a nation is the rise of false prophetic voices claiming to speak for God. Their words often contradict Scripture, while at the same time offering a non-existent future of uninterrupted bliss. Do we have the courage to face this issue in our times? Can we correct our present course? Is there hope for today's prophetic movement? R. T. Kendall's book on our present condition offers hope. Yet it is hope based on a true self-evaluation and a humility of heart. The true prophet is not afraid of this. In fact, he or she will welcome the correction. His desire is to honor Christ, at all costs. The false will always be with us. But the true prophetic voices will, as has always been the case throughout biblical history, put their babbling to shame.' * Carter Conlon, former pastor, Times Square Church, New York City *'R. T. Kendall has done it again! Yes, in his new book Prophetic Integrity he has managed to capture the twenty-first century's outlook about the wonderful gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially 'Prophecy.' I can say without hesitation, 'Be open to reading this book with an open mind and allow yourself the opportunity to learn whatever the Lord wants you to learn.' Pride often leads to self-righteousness and stops us from learning more about our loving, merciful, and wonderful God. R. T. expounds the truths of the Word of God and expresses the necessity of allowing the gifts of the Holy Spirit to flow together with integrity while being openly transparent in all his teaching. I love the way he weaves questions into every chapter that will allow you time to digest this very timely topic. Bottom line, do you want to experience God 100%? Prophetic Integrity will give you the keys to achieving this. What an informative, timely book at this critical period in history. It will change your thinking, challenge your views, and will definitely give you much to chew on and digest!' * Marilyn Hickey, founder and president of Marilyn Hickey Ministries *'R. T.'s book Prophetic Integrity is timely, inspiring, and very practical. It is a much-needed book in this hour--even a godly wake-up call for many who value the prophetic ministry. R. T. combines biblical scholarship, practical application, and godly inspiration with his many years of rich ministry experience to give the body of Christ this much needed book, which is a gift of wisdom that will enrich many lives.' * Mike Bickle, International House of Prayer, Kansas City, Missouri *'The prophetic movement is facing a crisis of credibility across the United States and around the world. Faith in prophets and prophecy has reached a low ebb in the body of Christ--and in the world we are called to serve--as it has been battered by a plethora of unjudged and unfulfilled prophecies. R. T. Kendall has pastored and counseled some of the leading prophetic voices in our generation, and in my opinion there is no one more apt to provide the insight necessary to repair the damage which has been wrought. As a gifted theologian with a pastor's heart, R. T. has penned a book which is both a diagnosis of and a cure for the intrinsic problems affecting prophetic integrity around the world.' * Jim Laffoon, Every Nation Churches *

SCM Press Becoming Friends of Time Disability Timefullness
Book SynopsisIn Becoming Friends of Time, John Swinton crafts a theology of time that draws us toward a perspective wherein time is a gift and a calling. Time is not a commodity nor is time to be mastered. Time is a gift of God to humans, but is also a gift given back to God by humans.Swinton wrestles with critical questions that emerge from theological reflection on time and disability: rethinking doctrine for those who can never grasp Jesus with their intellects; reimagining discipleship and vocation for those who have forgotten who Jesus is; reconsidering salvation for those who, due to neurological damage, can be one person at one time and then be someone else in an instant.In the end, Swinton invites the reader to spend time with the experiences of people with profound neurological disability, people who can change our perceptions of time, enable us to grasp the fruitful rhythms of God's time, and help us learn to live in ways that are unimaTrade Review"How Swinton brings together God, time, and disability transforms the understanding not only of disability but also of church, society and ordinary life. This is a profound and moving book, both pastoral and prophetic. It takes further the insights of Jean Vanier, and above all invites us into the truth that ‘time is for God, God is love, time is for love.’" -- David FordWith his usual insight and wisdom Swinton has written a timely book on time and disability. Swinton's work is profoundly human and humane because it is so determinatively christological. Becoming Friends of Time is a gift for all of us who struggle to survive in a world of speed." -- Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor Emeritus of Divinity and Law, Duke Divinity School"With characteristic wisdom and grace, Swinton's book invites us to reimagine time through rediscovering the gospel and the life of Christian discipleship in all its fullness in relation to the human experience of disability. His writing is elegant and embodies the gentle, time-full cadence it speaks about, offering a host of compelling insights along the way." -- Thomas E. Reynolds, Associate Professor of Theology, Emmanuel College, University of Toronto"This book will change your view of time and what it might mean for us to live creatively and radically within the economy of God's time. Swinton proves to be a wise guide as he digs deeply and widely into the complexities of our experience. Philosophy, Spirituality, Pastoral Care and Theology are put to work within an imaginative plea for us to expand the quality of our attention and our tasks of love. These pages open up and out our lives, sympathies, convictions and vulnerabilities into a dialogue with the Christian tradition. We are gently led to reflect on how we might change our thinking in order to respond and act at every turn of the page. Your life will be enlarged through your engagement with this text." -- James WoodwardThis book ultimately did live up to its promise. I concur with Ford's judgement: 'This is a profound and moving book, both pastoral and prophetic.' -- Keith Straughan * Reform Magazine, June 2017 *Swinton offers us profound reflections on some foundational issues and how they are linked. I am not likely to think of any of these issues in the same way as before. There is much in this book which has relevance for our practice as ministers. -- Gertrud Sollars * The Reader, Winter 2017 *Table of ContentsPart 1: Time and Disability 1. Thinking about Time 2.

John Murray Press Future Tense
Book SynopsisHistorically, Jews have thought of themselves in terms of the biblical phrase, ''The people that dwells alone.'' In the current global environment, this is dangerous. It leads to the isolation of Jews, Judaism and Israel. Too much contemporary Jewish writing is self-referential: Jews talking to Jews, preaching to the converted. Yet Jews cannot cure anti-Semitism alone. We need to persuade Jews and non-Jews alike that Jews, Judaism and Israel have something unique to contribute to the future.FUTURE TENSE does this. It moves beyond the ''they hate us'' school of Jewish thought to provide an overarching vision for the future of Judaism, Jewish life and Israel for the twenty-first century.Trade Review'One of the most engaging thinkers of our time' * The Times *'Always thought-provoking' * The Times *Britain's most authentically prophetic voice * Daily Telegraph *He has done more than anyone in Britain today to focus our attention on the needs and challenges of community in the global world * Prime Minister Gordon Brown *'A towering figure in the intellectual life of Britain today'. * Former Prime Minister, Tony Blair *

James Clarke & Co Ltd Homosexuality
Book SynopsisIn the debate about homosexuality one thing that seems clear - on an issue renowned for lack of clarity and controversy - is that two fundamentally incompatible positions continue to hold tenaciously. One asserts that homosexual acts are legitimate, the other that they are not. Concentration on the legitimacy of sexual expression rather than on underlying needs has made the debate about homosexuality incapable of resolution. Homosexuality: A New Christian Ethic presents a psychoanalytic interpretation that has shifted the focus of the debate from symptoms to root causes. The crux of Elizabeth Moberly''s argument is that ''the homosexual condition involves legitimate developmental needs, the fulfilment of which has been blocked by an underlying ambivalence to members of the same sex''. But while the argument is certainly controversial, it involves a much-needed restatement of the traditional Christian distinction between the homosexual condition and its expression in homosexual activityTrade Review"[...] this is a valuable and detailed book of reference...Dr Moberly wants to encourage the Church to become the kind of community which makes that change a positive and healing experience, for the Church is community of love, forgiveness and prayer in which Christ heals the wounds of the past which still cause us suffering." P.E. Coleman, Theology, vol 87, issue 154Table of ContentsPreface; 1. What is Homosexuality?; 2. A New Outlook; 3. The Christian Position Reassessed; 4. Healing and Prayer.
