Is the Western world really post-Christian, or does Christianity simply need a reinterpretation? What did Dietrich Bonhoeffer mean by “religionless Christianity”? Is it passé? Or was it perhaps ahead of its time? In an era of dramatically increased religious pluralism and the emergence of large numbers of people identifying as “spiritual but not religious,” so-called “religionless Christianity” can speak to those who find both biblicism and “belief-based” religion irrelevant. In this personal, witty, and timely book, New York Times bestselling author Thomas Cathcart takes readers on a journey into belief and unbelief and leads them through to the other side. Drawing from deep philosophical and theological wells, There Is No God and Mary Is His Mother demonstrates the meaningfulness of being a Christian in a secular age. Cathcart shows that, even absent traditional theological formulas and doctrines, Christianity can be a credible, meaningful, and practical means of negotiating worldly existence and experience. For Christians, There Is No God and Mary Is His Mother offers encouragement. For ex-Christians, it presents a different way of being a Christian than the one they've $19.00 rejected. For atheists, it shows how Christianity can be an ally in affirming the here and now. Religionless Christianity 978-1-5064-7416-8 is possible and desirable wherever and whenever it awakens Paperback personal and social transformation. 160 pages 09/07/2021 Thomas Cathcart is the author or coauthor of six books, including the New York Times bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar (2007), Heidegger and a Hippo Walk through Those Pearly Gates (2009), A lyrical meditation and The Trolley Problem, or Would You Throw the Fat Guy Off the Bridge? (2013). He has been a professor, a hospital on living, believing, administrator, a social worker with inner-city gangs, a hospice director for patients with HIV/AIDS, and a lay leader in many and transforming congregations. He lives in upstate New York.

Cathcart has written just the kind of book I have been trying to write for many years, but have only rarely succeeded. I know that I will recommend it. HARVEY COX, author of The Secular City Q&A with Thomas Cathcart with Ryan Hemmer, Acquisitions Editor

Most of your previous work has focused on philosophy and humor. How do those themes animate this new, more theological book?

When Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar came out, we discovered that many readers were as interested in the philosophy as they were in the jokes. That said to me that if you could translate the impenetrable prose of philosophy into more ordinary language and even add a bit of wit, there was a ready audience. Much professional theology is every bit as convoluted as philosophy, and even though this book is more serious, I’ve tried to make it as accessible and engaging as possible.

For those who are unfamiliar with the phrase, “religionless Christianity” might sound odd. Could you comment on what it means to you?

The phrase was coined by Dietrich Bonhoeffer in 1945 to express his astonishment that most Christian religious institutions in Germany offered little or no resistance to the Nazis. In response to that failure, he was searching for a way to make the gospel come alive and make a difference in the world. Unfortunately, he was executed before he was able to fully come to terms with the problem. Many now feel, as I do, that the “religious” expressions of Christianity—doctrine, individual piety, church life—have lost much of their power and we need to find a new way to integrate the secular and the spiritual.

This book is a call for a more “existential” Christianity, for Christianity as a means of interior transformation to navigate exterior anxieties. How is this vision (or version) different from what we might call “traditional” or “doctrinal” Christianity?

Beliefs, doctrines, and traditions are probably necessary as a way for the church to differentiate itself from “the world.” But it is vital to the life of the church that she be always fully grounded in the Spirit “that blows where it chooses” and always be responsive to the real anxieties that have drawn people to her. A purely “religious” Christianity is a dying Christianity, as the decline of the contemporary church demonstrates.

What kind of reader did you have in mind as you wrote this book?

It’s my sense that there are many people both inside and outside the church who yearn for some sort of spiritual renewal but are not finding it in the church—not finding it in the beliefs and piety and abstract moralism or even in the community of fellow churchgoers. I am one of those people, and I think there are a lot more like me. I hope that some will find this book to be a thought-provoking first step in a long conversation about that renewal.

Questions for our adoption consultant? [email protected] | 3 N My Encounter with Racism and the Forbidden Word in an American Classic James Henry Harris

This book is about a Black man's experience of reading Mark Twain's classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for the first time while in graduate school. The story captures the author's emotional struggle with Twain's use of the racial epithet more than two hundred times in the text. Author James Henry Harris reports being relieved to come to the end of the semester of “encountering Twain's use of [the forbidden word] every week. . . . I was teetering on the brink of falling apart. . . . For the first time the class seemed to understand my painful struggle, and my plight as a Black man in class was a metaphor, a symbol of the past, present, and postmodern condition of American society.” This is a courageous memoir that wrestles with the historic stain of racism and the ongoing impact of racist language in postmodern society. The book is about Harris's flashbacks, conversations, and dilemmas spawned by use of the epithet in a classroom setting where the author was the only Black person. His diary-like reflections reveal his skill as a keen reader of culture and literature. In these pages, Harris challenges his instructor and classmates and inspires readers to redress the long history of American racism and white supremacy bound up with the N-word. He reflects on how current Black artists and others use the word in a different way with the intention of empowering or claiming $18.99 the term. But Harris is not convinced that even this usage 978-1-5064-7916-3 does not further feed the word's racist roots. Paperback 144 pages James Henry Harris 10/26/2021 is Distinguished Professor of Homiletics and Pastoral Theology and a research scholar in religion and humanities at the Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology, Virginia Union University. He is the author of numerous books, including Beyond the Tyranny of the Text and Black Suffering: Silent Pain, Reading and Hidden Hope (Fortress Press, 2020). experiencing racism Harris has written a courageous memoir that confronts the in a word long debate over Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and the use of the N-word. Marshaling critics from Hegel to bell hooks, and calling on a family history of resistance, Harris challenges his instructor and classmates, and in turn inspires his readers, to redress the long history of American racism and white supremacy bound up with the epithet.

MARK A. SANDERS, University of Notre Dame Q&A with James Henry Harris with Scott Tunseth, Senior Acquisitions Editor

James, what prompted you to write this book?

I wrote this book as a counterargument to Mark Twain’s use of the word “nigger” throughout his classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The endemic use of this racial epithet still conjures hatred, racism, and white supremacy. The recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and hundreds of other Blacks in America is an indirect result of violence against and disrespect of Blacks perpetuated by the language of “nigger,” a word used on every other page of the book by Twain. Racism is insidious and embedded in certain words. The language of Twain was and is the spirit of America.

How would you describe the style of this book?

The style of the book is grounded in personal essay and memoir. It is also a type of narrative history and creative nonfiction.

What do you hope readers encounter in these pages?

Readers of this book will encounter a heartfelt story of the strength and resilience of a Black man bombarded daily with a word that connotes a deep disdain and dehumanization of Blacks. Whites commonly used the word during Twain’s time. But this does not make the word any less evil. My book is the story of one Black man’s experience of reading and hearing the forbidden word in a graduate class seminar on the writings of Mark Twain, and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, in particular.

How is the message of this new edition of your book still relevant, or perhaps even more relevant now?

I think this book’s relevance is more evident today. The unjust murders of Black men and women at the hands of law enforcement signals a deeply imbedded and unrelenting hatred of Blacks.

Excerpts from the book “Some days I am paralyzed by fear. And, on other days, I tremble with anger about the pandemic of racism and white supremacy. But every day when the sun rises, I live in the hope of a new day where Black people will be treated like human beings—a day when I can stop crying.” “This book is about my experience of reading and encountering Twain’s classic book, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, for the first time as a 53-year-old Black man. It is also about my feelings, flashbacks of trauma, and terror, spawned by the verbalization of the word nigger by whites in a classroom setting where I was the only Black male, the only Black person, and the only minority.”

When Toni Morrison died in August 2019, she was widely remembered for her contributions to literature as an African American woman, an identity she wore proudly. Morrison was clear that she wrote from a Black, female perspective and for others who shared her identity. But just as much as she was an African American writer, Toni Morrison was a woman of faith. Morrison filled her novels with biblical allusions, magic, folktales, and liberated women, largely because Christianity, African American folk magic, and powerful women defined her own life. She grew up with family members who could interpret dreams, predict the future, see ghosts, and go about their business. Her relatives, particularly her mother, were good storytellers, and her family's oral tradition included ghost stories and African American folktales. But her family was also Christian. As a child, Morrison converted to Catholicism and chose a baptismal name that truly became her own— Anthony, from St. Anthony of Padua—going from Chloe to Toni. Morrison embraced both Catholicism and the occult as a child and, later, as a writer. She was deeply religious, and her spirituality included the Bible, the paranormal, and the folktales she heard as a child. $24.00 Toni Morrison's Spiritual Vision unpacks this oft-ignored, but 978-1-5064-7151-8 essential, element of Toni Morrison's work—her religion—and Paperback in so doing, gives readers a deeper, richer understanding of 200 pages her life and her writing. In its pages, Nadra Nittle remembers and understands Morrison for all of who she was: a writer, 10/05/2021 a Black woman, and a person of complex faith. As Nittle's wide-ranging, deep exploration of Morrison's oeuvre reveals, to fully understand the writing of Toni Morrison one must also understand the role of religion and spirituality in her life and literature.

A critique of Nadra Nittle is a Los Angeles-based journalist who has been a staff writer Morrison's work for Vox Media, Digital First Media, and the Gannett/USA Today network. Her writing has also appeared in The Atlantic, The through the lens Guardian, The New York Times, and more. She is the author of of her religion Recognizing Microaggressions (2019)

Exploring common themes throughout Morrison's work, this book is a must-have for fans who want a deeper dive into what made the late writer's stories so compellingly magical. DEL SANDEEN, Author of Maya Angelou: Writer and Activist An excerpt from Chapter 1

Born Chloe Ardelia Wofford in 1931 in the ethnically diverse steel town of Lorain, Ohio, Morrison grew up hearing the stories of Mexican, Italian, and Greek immigrants, often marveling at them. But nothing topped how fluidly her relatives used language, and she wanted her fiction to reflect their verbal dexterity. “When something terribly important was to be said, it was highly sermonic, highly formalized, biblical in a sense, and easily so,” Morrison recalled of her family. “They could move easily into the language of the King James Bible and then back to standard English, and then segue into language that we would call ‘street.’” Morrison’s family took pride in the fact that her grandfather read the Bible five times from cover to cover. With reading materials limited—”there were no books, no libraries”—the Bible was the only book available to him, and his decision to read the Scriptures amounted to “taking power back,” since it had been illegal for enslaved African Americans to read. Following her grandfather’s example, Morrison’s parents had books throughout their household. “That was like resistance,” she said, but the Bible remained the family’s literary foundation. At the core of Morrison’s literature is the Black community, and at the heart of that is African American religion, as it was in her family. Black America regarded Christianity as a belief system of liberation and wed it with West African oral, spiritual, and folk traditions. This religious sensibility shapes the stories Morrison chose to tell, how she told them, and the characters within them. In her effort to capture how the African Americans she knew conversed, worshipped, healed, loved, and told their own stories, Morrison created a literary universe in which the supernatural and the church coexist with the dual horrors of racial oppression and misogyny. Her engagement of the spiritual world allowed Morrison to focus on Black characters, particularly women, whose otherworldly gifts empower them in a society determined to strip them of their agency. She wrote novels, she said, that reflect the shrewd decisions Black people make to survive, all while experiencing “some great supernatural element.” In her books, as in life, faith in the invisible—be it in God or magic—”make the world larger” for African Americans.

THE PRESBYTERIAN OUTLOOK Naming Neoliberalism Exposing the Spirit of Our Age Rodney Clapp

Neoliberalism is the reigning, overarching spirit of our age. It consists of a panoply of cultural, political, and economic practices that set marketized competition at the center of social life. The model human is the entrepreneur of the self. Though regnant, neoliberalism likes to hide. It likes people to assume that it is a natural, deep structure—just the way things are. But in neoliberalism's train have come extreme inequality, economic precariousness, and a harmful distortion of both the individual and society. Many people are waking up to the destructive effects of this order. Anthropologists, economic historians, philosophers, theologians, and political scientists have compiled considerable literature exposing neoliberalism's pretensions and shortcomings. Drawing on this work, Naming Neoliberalism aims to expose the order to a wider range of readers—pastors, thoughtful laypersons, and students. Its theological base for this “intervention” is apocalyptic—not in the sense of impending doom and gloom, but in the sense of centering on Christ's life, death, and resurrection as itself the creation of a new and truer, more hopeful, and more humane order that sees the principalities and powers (like neoliberalism) unmasked and disarmed at the cross. The book carefully lays out what neoliberalism is, where it has come from, its religious or theological pretensions, and how it can be confronted through and in the church. $24.00 978-1-5064-7265-2 Rodney Clapp Hardcover is an editor at Cascade Books in Eugene, Oregon.

He lives in Wheaton, Illinois. and powers of neoliberalism Rodney Clapp has written a profoundly pastoral book that prophetically unmasks neoliberalism not only as a rival ethic to the church but as a rival theology.

Susan J. Dunlap offers the theological fruits of time spent working as a chaplain with people without homes. After depicting the local history of her small southern city, she describes the prayer service she co-leads in a homeless shelter. Clients offer words of faith and encouragement that take the form of prayer, sayings, testimony, song, and short sermons. Dunlap describes both these forms of expression and their theological content. She asserts that these forms and beliefs are a means of survival and resistance in a hostile world. The ways they serve these purposes are further demonstrated in life stories told as testimonies, incorporating Scripture, sayings, oral tradition, and popular culture. Dunlap concludes that white supremacy and neoliberalism have produced the problem of homelessness in America and are forms of idolatry. The faith and practices shared at the shelter are spiritual and theological resources for people in the grip of and seeking freedom from this idolatry. Claiming that only God can free us from bondage to idolatry and that to draw close to the poor is to draw close to God, Dunlap calls for proximity to people living without homes who are practicing their faith amid poverty.

MARY GLENN, Fuller Theological Seminary and Los Angeles County District Attorney Chaplain Invisible Theology and the Experience of Asian American Women Grace Ji-Sun Kim

Invisibility persists throughout the Asian American story. On the one hand, xenophobia has long contributed to racism and discrimination toward Asian Americans. On the other hand, terms such as perpetual foreigner and honorific whites have been thrust upon Asian Americans, minimizing their plight with racism and erasing their experience as racial minorities. Even more indiscernible in America's racial landscape are Asian American women. The compounded effects of a patriarchal Asian culture and a marginalizing American culture are formidable, steadily removing the recognition of these women's lives, voices, and agency. In Invisible, Grace Ji-Sun Kim examines encounters with racism, sexism, and xenophobia as she works toward ending Asian American women's invisibility. She deploys biblical, sociological, and theological narratives to empower the voices of Asian American women. And she shares the story of her heritage, her family history, her immigration, and her own experience as an Asian American woman. Speaking with the weight of her narrative, she proclaims that the histories, experiences, and voices of Asian American women must be rescued from obscurity. Speaking with the weight of a theologian, she powerfully paves the way for a theology of visibility that honors the voice and identity of these women. $28.00 As Asian American women work toward a theology of 978-1-5064-7092-4 visibility, they uplift the voiceless and empower the invisible, Paperback moving beyond experiences of oppression and toward 250 pages claiming their space in the kin-dom of God. 11/09/2021 Grace Ji-Sun Kim is associate professor of theology at Earlham School of Religion in Richmond, Indiana.

Kim is an ordained PCUSA minister and writes for the Huffington Post, Feminist Studies in Asian American women Religion, Sojourners, TIME, and The Nation.

Combining moving personal narratives and social history, this timely book challenges anti-Asian racism and internalization of white norms that contribute to the invisibility of Asian Americans. It uses an intersectional approach to articulate a theology of visibility that decenters whiteness and offers a vision for our collective future. KWOK PUI-LAN, Candler School of Theology

For decades, Sallie McFague lent her voice and her theological imagination to addressing and advocating for the most important issues of our time. In doing so, she influenced an entire generation and empowered countless people in their efforts to put religion in the service of meeting human needs in difficult times. In this final book, finished in the year before her death in 2019, McFague summarizes the work of a lifetime with a clear call to live in “such a way that all might flourish.” The way, she argues, is the “kenotic interpretation of Christianity: the odd arrangement whereby in order to gain your life, you must lose it. The way of the cross is total self-emptying so that one can receive life, real life, and then pass this life on.” A masterful and life-giving summing-up of a theology that makes a profound difference for us, our communities, and our planet.

This study book, the third in the Forgotten Luther series, invites congregations, with the help of five prominent church leaders and Luther scholars, to consider the new shape of global mission in today's world. Against the growing disparity in wealth and the rising tide of economic refugees throughout the world, this book reflects on Luther's largely forgotten social and economic reforms (to overcome poverty, lack of health care, illiteracy, and old-age insecurity) that flowed from the central doctrine of justification by grace through faith. The book is also a call for informed engagement with partner churches in a critical area of ministry that is frequently neglected.

Questions for our adoption consultant? [email protected] | 13 Where God Meets Man, 50th Anniversary Edition Luther's Down-to-Earth Approach to the Gospel Gerhard O. Forde

This book about Luther's theology is written out of a twofold conviction: first, that many of our problems have arisen because we have not really understood our own traditions, especially in the case of Luther; and second, that there is still a lot of help for us in someone like Luther if we take the trouble to probe beneath the surface. In this ground-breaking book, Forde interprets Luther's theology for our own day. The fundamental theme of the book is the “down-to-earth” character of Luther's theology. Through this theme, Forde points out that we have failed to understand the basic thrust of Luther's theology and that this failure has caused and still causes us grief. Modern scholarship has demonstrated that Luther did not actually share some of the views on the nature of faith and salvation that subsequent generations have foisted upon him and have used to interpret his thinking. This book attempts to bring the results of some of that scholarship to light and make it more accessible to those searching for answers today.

Just Traveling God, Leaving Home, and a Spirituality for the Road Jaco J. Hamman

Just Traveling celebrates overcoming distance and seeking difference as defining human traits. Following the scriptural witness of God as the Earthroamer, the book explores the liminal qualities of traveling through six movements: anticipating, leaving, surrendering, meeting, caring, and returning. To travel is to move at the speed of being present to one's experiences, bridging distance and difference through acts of care. Drawing on personal experience as well as the wisdom of theology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and cultural studies, Hamman reimagines travel in a welcoming and beautiful, yet also complex and troubled world. Whether leaving home serves our wanderlust and curiosity or has personal or spiritual purposes; whether we travel a few miles or cover vast distances, we travel best when we contribute to human flourishing. Care—the compassionate reaching out to someone or something—is the practice that allows one to travel differently. The spirituality of roads is filled with hopeful restorative potential, and life is best lived with the Earthroamer.

Throughout its history, America has been confronted with two alternative views of its identity. Is it, according to one argument, a deeply Christian nation called to purity and uniformity in the face of a challenging world? Or is it, according to the other argument, a beacon of hope and openness, a land in which a variety of people can work side by side in justice and for a common good? In this timely and needed book, the authors challenge readers—especially readers in Christian communities—to step up to the promise of an America that works for the good of everyone who calls this nation home. Certainly, part of that challenge is recognizing where America has failed, and the authors do not step back from that challenge. But a tone of hope prevails throughout as a gracious and compelling case is made that America's better angels exist and can motivate us to create a more just society.

The Liberation of Method The Ethics of Emancipatory Biblical Interpretation David Janzen

The field of biblical studies has championed the historical-critical method as the only way to guarantee objective interpretation. But in recent decades, women, people of color, scholars from the Two-Thirds World, and members of the the LGBTQIA+ community have pursued hermeneutical approaches that provide interpretations useful for marginalized communities who see the Bible as a resource in their struggles against oppression. Such liberative strategies remain at the margins of the field. The Liberation of Method argues that this marginality must end, and that liberative methods should become the central methods of biblical studies. The first part of the book draws upon the hermeneutics of philosophical pragmatism to argue that, because readers are responsible for the interpretation, there is no necessary connection between the meanings they produce and the ones ancient authors may have intended. As a result, the historical-critical method, which prioritizes the study of the ancient contexts of biblical writings, becomes an optional rather than a necessary aspect of interpretation. The second part of The Liberation of Method argues that if we truly hope to create an ethical academic field, more privileged scholars and students must see their minoritized colleagues as the leaders in the field, as models of the ethical liberative standards of interpretation.

Questions for our adoption consultant? [email protected] | 15 Christianity in Blue How the Bible, History, Philosophy, and Theology Shape Progressive Identity David A. Kaden

Today's social and political climate often pits conservative or traditional Christianity against “progressive” Christianity. But what is progressive Christianity? What is a progressive Christian? What is a progressive church? Christianity in Blue answers these questions by drawing from biblical scholarship, Christian history, theology, popular culture, philosophy, and cultural anthropology. Kaden shows how socially liberal values and progressive attitudes can be the fruits of taking seriously both the Bible and Christian tradition. But rather than treating these sources as static authorities and the final word on every subject, Kaden argues that they are places to start one's exploration of how to be a Christian in the world. Being a progressive Christian is an ethical exhortation to “uplift human personality,” as Martin Luther King Jr. once said. This exhortation structures how progressive Christians receive, interpret, and apply the Bible and Christian tradition to daily life. A robust tradition provides an anchor to avoid the illiberal trends in contemporary society, and a commitment to uplifting human personality provides a check against dehumanizing uses of Scripture and tradition. Christianity in Blue will help both progressive and conservative Christians better understand the importance of the Bible, theology, history, and philosophy for building a loving church for everyone.

The Fragility of Language and the Encounter with God On the Contingency and Legitimacy of Doctrine Florian Klug

Drawing on recent philosophical developments in hermeneutics and poststructuralism, The Fragility of Language and the Encounter with God offers a theological account of the contingency of language and perception and of how acknowledging that contingency transforms the perennial theological question of the development of doctrine. Klug applies this account to humanity's encounter with God and its translation into language. Because there exists no neutral epistemological standpoint, Klug integrates contemporary insights on the theory of the subject (especially those of Žižek and Badiou) and presents humanity as a subject that transforms its experience of and with God into language and places it in a shared space for reception. But can the speaking subject have authority and legitimacy in making statements about the Absolute? What role do the Christian faithful play in evaluating that authority?

Neighbor Love through Fearful Days is a reflection on pandemics—the Covid-19 pandemic, the accompanying economic collapse, a summer of climate chaos, and the pandemic of white supremacy—as well as on the calling to “serve thy neighbor” and work toward the common good, even and especially in times of crisis. Mahn's real- time reflections begin with an entry dated March 17, 2020, after the college where he teaches moved online and his family began sheltering in place; they end with an entry dated August 31, 2020, when the college reopened for an unprecedented fall term. Through the intervening entries, he reflects on perennial questions about purpose, faith, and vocation as they take on a newfound urgency as cities lock down, economies reopen and close again, and our fractured country teeters on the edge of civil war. Each entry grapples with the anxieties and opportunities, the suffering and sense of being summoned, that characterize that same period. Jason A. Mahn's evocative narrative is a story about living through a time when the world as we know it is being leveled by pandemics—and it is also a deeply philosophical exploration of what it means to live well.

The End of College Religion and the Transformation of Higher Education in the 20th Century Robert Wilson-Black

College in the United States changed dramatically during the twentieth century, ushering in what we know today as the American university in all its diversity. Religion departments made their way into institutions in the 1930s to the 1960s, while significant shifts from college to university occurred. The college ideal was primarily shaping the few to enter the Protestant management class through the inculcation of values associated with a Western civilization that relied upon this training done residentially, primarily for young men. Protestant Christian leaders created religion departments as the college model was shifting to the university ideal, where a more democratized population, including women and non-Protestants, studied under professors trained in specialized disciplines to achieve professional careers in a more internationally connected and post-industrial class.

Athena to Barbie explores the vexed nature of being a woman. It maps the four corners of impossible choice a female faces because of the female body—her body as spiritual space (Mary), as political space (Athena), as erotic space (Venus), and as materialist space (Barbie). The book tracks the difficulty women face in understanding themselves as someone who has, but is not only, a body. The question of identity is particularly fraught and complicated when it comes to women—because the ability to bear children is a double-edged sword. Across time (including right now), having a womb has shaped how women are viewed and treated in negative ways, and women's childbearing abilities have been used to stereotype, oppress, and constrain them. Pregnancy is powerful, but the possibility of pregnancy comes with impossible pressures and choices. This book takes on the task of reconciliation—how women can understand themselves in light of their bodies—through an intense dive into history, art, literature, theology, and, particularly, philosophy.

The murder of George Floyd and demonstrations that have followed in its wake expose white people's complicity in and ignorance of what it is like to be Black in America. As teachers, researchers, and scholars, we have a professional and moral obligation to commit our time, attention, and resources to understanding racist systems and forging solidarity with those suffering in them. We must take responsibility for ourselves and our students. To that end, Fortress Press highlights these books by influential African American theologians and thinkers.

Questions for our adoption consultant? [email protected] | 31 The Herods Murder, Politics, and the Art of Succession Bruce Chilton

Until his death in 4 BCE, Herod the Great's monarchy included territories that once made up the kingdoms of Judah and Israel. Although he ruled over a rich, strategically crucial land, his royal title did not derive from heredity. His family came from the people of Idumea, ancient antagonists of the Israelites. Yet Herod did not rule as an outsider, but from a family committed to Judaism going back to his grandfather and father. They had served the priestly dynasty of the Maccabees that had subjected Idumea to their rule, including the Maccabean version of what loyalty to the Torah required. Herod's father, Antipater, rose not only to manage affairs on behalf of his priestly masters, but to become a pivotal military leader. He inaugurated a new alignment of power: an alliance with Rome negotiated with Pompey and Julius Caesar. In the crucible of civil war among Romans as the Triumvirate broke up, and of war between Rome and Parthia, Antipater managed to leave his sons with the prospect of a dynasty. Herod inherited the twin pillars of loyalty to Judaism and loyalty to Rome that became the basis of Herodian rule. He elevated Antipater's opportunism to a political art. During Herod's time, Roman power took its imperial form, and Octavian was responsible for making Herod king of Judea. As Octavian ruled, he took the title Augustus, in keeping $27.00 with his devotion to his adoptive father's cult of “the divine 978-1-5064-7428-1 Julius.” Imperial power was a theocratic assertion as well Hardcover as a dominant military, economic, and political force. 365 pages Herod framed a version of theocratic ambition all his own, deliberately crafting a dynastic claim grounded in Roman 08/03/2021 might and Israelite theocracy. That unlikely hybrid was the key to the Herodians' surprising longevity in power during the most chaotic century in the political history of Judaism.

The story of one Bruce D. Chilton is the Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Religion at Bard family's dance with College, where he has taught since 1987.

The Herodians are an irritation for a number of reasons, not least because their motives and theocratic rationales have to be read through another irritation—Josephus. What irritates scholars in the study of the Herods is the welter of opinions about each of the Herodians as well as the lengthy cast of characters outside that family that appear here and there on the stage and then, with lights on someone else, disappear without resolving our questions. Chilton’s study adds to all these irritations and, in so doing, sorts through the literature and history and scholarship with scholarly acuity and the literary skills for which he is known. Throughout, Chilton has his eye for wisdom about governance and the dangers of religiously based empire as he meanders through the twists and turns and tortures of these potentates.

The publication of Stony the Road We Trod thirty years ago marked the emergence of a critical mass of Black biblical scholars—as well as a distinct set of hermeneutical concerns. Combining sophisticated exegesis with special sensitivity to issues of race, class, and gender, the authors of this scholarly collection examine the nettling questions of biblical authority, Black and African people in biblical narratives, and the liberating aspects of Scripture. The original volume reshaped and redefined the questions, concerns, and scholarship that determine how the Bible is appropriated by the church, the academy, and the larger society today. To the original eleven essays this expanded edition adds a new introduction by Brian K. Blount and three new chapters by Kimberly D. Russaw, Shively T. J. Smith, and Jennifer T. Kaalund. Not only does Blount's new introduction access the impact of the first edition, but the new contributions extend the implications of Cain Hope Felder's vision for the book.

Cain Hope Felder $32.00 (1943-2019) served as professor of New Testament language 978-1-5064-7204-1 and literature at Howard University's School of Divinity Hardcover from 1981 until his retirement in 2016.

They also offer reinterpretation of specific biblical texts, while revealing the role blacks played within the Bible. These essays are important for both scholars and general readers, making the book essential for many libraries. LIBRARY JOURNAL Black Lives Matter to Jesus The Salvation of Black Life and All Life in Luke and Acts Marcus Jerkins

The third evangelist makes Black-skinned people central to his claim in Luke and Acts that the gospel of Jesus is restoring the children of God. Within Luke's literary environment, the identity of the children of God was linked to national/ethnic identity. Many Jewish texts argued for the Jews' position as God's children because they are bound to God by covenant; they are God's firstborn. But there is also a more general sense within this tradition that all human beings are made in the image of God and are, thus, the children of God through Adam. In the Gospel, Luke asserts that all nations and all ethnicities, including Israel, have questionable filial status vis- à-vis God. Both Israel and the nations are restored in status as God's children through Jesus, the Son of God. In Acts, Luke explores the initial return of Israel and all ethnicities to God through the witness of the church empowered by the Spirit. To epitomize the return of all nations to God, Luke narrates the salvation of Black-skinned Africans.

Understanding and assessing the New Testament writings from Asian viewpoints provides a unique and original outlook for interpretation of the Christian Scriptures. To that end, An Asian Introduction to the New Testament is the first book of its kind to take full account of the multireligious, multiethnic, multilingual, multicultural, and pluralistic contexts in which Asian Christians find themselves. Into this already complex world, issues of poverty, casteism, class structure, honor and shame aspects, colonial realities, discrimination against women, natural calamities and ecological crises, and others add more layers of complexity. Perceiving the New Testament in light of these realities enables the reader to see them in a fresh way while understanding that the Jesus Movement emerged from similar social situations. Readers will find able guides in an impressive array of more than twenty scholars from across Asia. Working with volume editor Johnson Thomaskutty, the authors make a clear case: the kernels of Christianity $39.00 sprouted from Asian roots, and we must read the New Testament considering those roots in order to understand it 978-1-5064-6269-1 afresh today. Hardcover 480 pages Johnson Thomaskutty 12/14/2021 is a member of the faculty in the department of New Testament Studies at Union Biblical Seminary, Pune, India. He is the author of many books, including Dialogue in the Book of Signs: A Polyvalent Analysis of John 1:19–12:50 (Brill, 2015) The New Testament and Saint Thomas the Apostle: New Testament, Apocrypha, and Historical Traditions (Bloomsbury, 2018). in an Asian context

The contributors to this important volume demonstrate the significance of Asian approaches to interpreting the New Testament, and not only for Asian Christians. Of special consequence are the affinities between Asian values, life experiences, and texts and New Testament realities: honor and shame, family and community, persecution and perseverance, colonialism and resistance, poverty and pain. I highly recommend this unique, eye-opening, and helpful guide to the New Testament.

MICHAEL J. GORMAN, St. Mary’s Seminary and University Luke's Jesus Between Incarnation and Crucifixion Joseph Blenkinsopp

The third evangelist tells the story of Jesus in clear, dramatically compelling, and humanly moving terms. His Jesus is a man of great power, a deep sense of mission, and profound compassion for those on the outskirts of society. And Luke's Gospel has the best stories—that is, parables—including a number that are unique to him. Luke's story fills in the gap between “born of the virgin Mary” and “suffered under Pontius Pilate” in the Apostles' Creed. While it is usually important for those who write biography to report how the lives of their subjects began and ended, Luke's story of Jesus's birth differs from Matthew's version, and the conclusion to Luke's account of Jesus's life ends neither with his death nor with his resurrection but with his being taken up from the earth to the heavens. The Gospel of Luke is historical in its approach, for which there are no apologies: a historical reading follows necessarily from the Christian doctrine of the incarnation, which teaches that God has entered the history of humanity through Jesus. At the same time, Luke's approach is theological: together with the other evangelists, Luke intends to show his readers that in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, God has drawn near to humanity in an inexpressible and unique way.

Paul on Identity Theology as Politics Troels Engberg-Pedersen

Paul on Identity shows the inner connection in Paul's view of three distinct issues that all focus on identity: What defines the fundamental “Christ identity” for which Paul argues? How is it related to all other identities—of being a Jew or a non-Jew, a man or a woman, a master or a slave? How does Paul's understanding of the Christ identity inform his own way of writing to his addressees? The book raises the question of which among Paul's many teachings we may or may not accept. Finally, the book directly addresses the political relevance of Paul's thought for an American audience. Paul on Identity is written for non-experts and experts alike. By quoting liberally from Paul himself, Engberg-Pedersen brings him to life in the twenty-first century.

Bloch-Smith

This groundbreaking volume presents a new translation of the text and detailed interpretation of almost every word or phrase in the book of Judges, drawing from archaeology and iconography, textual versions, biblical parallels, and extrabiblical texts, many never noted before. Archaeology also serves to show how a story of the Iron II period employed visible ruins to narrate supposedly early events from the so-called “period of the Judges.” The synchronic analysis for each unit sketches its characters and main themes, as well as other literary dynamics. The diachronic, redactional analysis shows the shifting settings of units as well as their development, commonly due to their inner-textual reception and reinterpretation. The result is a remarkably fresh historical-critical treatment of 1:1–10:5. Mark S. Smith is Helena Professor of Old Testament Literature and Exegesis at Princeton Theological Seminary and Skirball Professor Emeritus of Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at New York University.

Questions for our adoption consultant? [email protected] | 47 One Life to Give Martyrdom and the Making of the American Revolution John Fanestil

The famous words of patriots, such as Nathan Hale's “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country,” have echoed through the centuries as embodiments of the spirit of the American Revolution. Despite the immortalized role these quotes play in America's historical narrative, their origins remain obscure. We know little about what inspired words like these and how this spirit of sacrifice inspired the revolution itself. What was going on in the hearts and minds of young men who risked their lives for the revolutionary cause? The answer lies in the untold story of the spiritual backdrop of the American Revolution. One Life to Give presents Nathan Hale's execution on September 22, 1776, as the culmination of a story that spans generations and explains why many young American men reached the personal decision to commit to the revolutionary cause even if it meant death. As John Fanestil reveals, this is the story of how martyrdom shaped the American Revolution. In colonial America, countless young revolutionaries, like their forebears, were raised and trained from infancy to understand that divine approval was attached to certain kinds of deaths— deaths of self-sacrifice for a sacred cause. Young boys were taught to expect that someday they might be called to fight and die for such a cause, and that should this come to pass, $27.00 their deaths could be meaningful in the eyes of others and of God. Fanestil traces the deep history of the tradition of 978-1-5064-7414-4 martyrdom from its classical and Christian origins, ultimately Harcover articulating how the spirit of American martyrdom animated 160 pages countless personal commitments to American independence, and thereby to the war. Only by understanding the inextricable 08/03/2021 role played by martyrdom can we fully understand the origins of the American Revolution. The role of John Fanestil earned his PhD in history from the University of Southern martyrdom California, and is a graduate of Dartmouth College; Oxford University, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar; and the in America's Claremont School of Theology. He is an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church and has served several churches founding fight in Southern California. He is author of Mrs. Hunter's Happy Death: Lessons on Living from People Preparing to Die (2006).

Fanestil has given us a fascinating look at the Christian roots of the American Revolution. This book is an engaging study of the ways we are formed by the language and practices of our faith ... and the promise and peril that lies therein. WILL WILLIMON Duke Divinity School An excerpt from the introduction

In early September 1776, Nathan Hale, a captain in the Continental Army under George Washington’s command, volunteered to enter British-occupied New York as a spy. Hale had graduated from Yale College three summers earlier at the age of eighteen. After working for a year and a half as a schoolteacher, he had enlisted in Connecticut’s colonial militia, which was incorporated into the Continental Army at the start of 1776. By September, Hale had been soldiering for some sixteen months but had seen no formal battlefield action. He was twenty-one years old and was ready to act. Hale entered New York on September 17 and was captured four days later. On September 22 he was executed by British troops under the command of General William Howe. His corpse hung for three days before being cut down. The precise locations of Nathan Hale’s capture, execution, and burial cannot be confirmed. Neither does evidence survive that Hale spoke the words for which he would be immortalized in the lore of the American Revolution: “I regret that I have but one life to lose [or ‘one life to give’] for my country.” The saying conjures Joseph Addison’s Cato, one of the most popular plays of the eighteenth century, in which the play’s title character, considering the corpse of Marcus, his soldier son, declares, “How beautiful is death when earned by virtue. Who would not be that youth? What pity it is that we can die but once to serve our country!” While it is possible that Hale spoke these words—or words like them—at the time of his execution, they were probably attributed to him after the fact. After all, the story of Hale’s death did not circulate widely, nor was he included regularly in the pantheon of Revolutionary heroes, until Jedidiah Morse included him in his popular 1824 Annals of the American Revolution. What we do know about Nathan Hale’s execution, however, is intriguing. According to one British soldier who witnessed the event, Hale expressed regret that he “had not been able to serve my country better,” and with “great composure and resolution,” he encouraged his captors “to be at all times prepared to meet death in whatever shape it presented itself.” Another recalled that Hale was “calm, and bore himself with gentle dignity, the consciousness of rectitude and high intentions.” And yet another reported that “the frankness, the manly bearing, and the evident disinterested patriotism of the handsome young prisoner, sensibly touched a tender chord of General Howe’s nature.” Clearly, in his final hours, Nathan Hale fulfilled expectations of bravery in the face of death that were revered among soldiers of his generation. Which inspires the following question: What animated so many young men—young men like Nathan Hale—to risk sacrificing their lives for the Revolutionary cause?

Questions for our adoption consultant? [email protected] | 49 Black Hands, White House Slave Labor and the Making of America Renee K. Harrison

Black Hands, White House documents and appraises the role enslaved women and men played in building the US, both its physical and its fiscal infrastructure. The book highlights the material commodities produced by enslaved communities during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. These commodities— namely tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton, among others— enriched European and US economies; contributed to the material and monetary wealth of the nation's founding fathers, other early European immigrants, and their descendants; and bolstered the wealth of present-day companies founded during the American slave era. Critical to this study are also examples of enslaved laborers' role in building Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and George Washington's Mount Vernon. Subsequently, their labor also constructed the nation's capital city, Federal City (later renamed Washington, DC), its seats of governance—the White House and US Capitol—and other federal sites and memorials. Given the enslaved community's contribution to the US, this work questions the absence of memorials on the National Mall that honor enslaved, Black-bodied people. Harrison argues that such monuments are necessary to redress the nation's historical disregard of Black people and America's role in $28.00 their forced migration, violent subjugation, and free labor.

Q&A with Renee K. Harrison with Carey C. Newman, Executive Editor

How does your historical work in this book change what is normally (mis)understood about America’s development? Put differently, based on your research, what is the biggest misconception most Americans hold about America’s founding and development?

I am a big fan of mythologist and literary writer Joseph Campbell’s work. His archetype of the hero and his or her great adventure story is a motif ingrained in America’s identity and formation. The story of brave, innovative, hard-working men and women of white ancestry who self-identify as explorers, patriots, and pilgrims, on a mission by God, set sail from Europe to chart new territories and later create a new world democracy. Yet, omitted from this single-storied account of American exceptionalism and heroism is the story seen or told from the place of those Brown and Black people slaughtered, displaced, kidnapped, purchased, and forced to help build, physically and fiscally, early America. We also selectively fail to tell a more nuanced story of the hero as a villain and hold them accountable for their crimes against humanity. Why do we omit the stories, legacies, sacrifices, and labors of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas and Black people, especially those enslaved in the US, from accounts about America’s origins and promise? Who benefits from a single-storied account? My hope is this work invites us to reflect deeper on these and many more questions.

Your book is a book possessed by a vocation, a mission. How did you balance the urgency of the book’s vocation with the careful, patient research which it represents? Were there days of despair? Were there days of hope? Talk about the management of those two in the task of writing.

I must admit it was not easy at times. Working to balance, with integrity, the voices of those I wrote about while giving attention and care to my inner churnings of righteous discontent and heartache as I read stories and historical accounts. Our lives are a tapestry of multivalent gifts and complex contradictions. No one is one-dimensional, and the full breadth of our lives is worth sharing. Therefore, we should not fear the underbelly of our origins and existence. On the contrary, they provide us an opportunity to see ourselves and each other clearer. That is patriotism and what gives me hope. What revives me daily is a deep well of ancestral presence and wisdom and historical data we cannot deny: Beautiful Black people helped build this country, soul-by-soul, brick-by-brick, state by state, day-by-day, decade-after-decade, generation-by-generation, until finally a new republic and leading democracy. That is both exhilarating and powerful. When I drew from this well-spring daily in communion with these ancestral guides, the writing became manageable and profoundly necessary.

Black Hands, White House is far more than a book about buildings. Yours is a story of capital and not just one of the US Capitol. You reveal the economic impact of slave labor and not merely the work product. And yet your book ends with the call for a monument on the Mall. So, why do monuments matter—and, in particular, why would a monument to slave labor in a particular place matter?

I think the answer to that question lies at the heart of America. Why did monuments matter to the founding fathers, colonists, and early white settlers? Why was it essential and still essential today to Americans to see enshrined on our National Mall heroic figures carved and shaped into predominately white male figures? What is America saying to its citizenry about who and what is worthy of enshrinement and reverence?

For me, as an American, monuments matter. Monuments speak to origins, shared heritages, patriotism, historical legacies and memory, and valuation and understanding of the past. What better people to represent America’s origins, heritages, patriotism, gifts, and valuation of our past, which created a present for all of us, than those captured and taken from their homeland, and forced to labor against their will. Who better than those patriots that sacrificed all they had and, in return, received little to no recognition and monetary compensation and withstood violent rebuke at every turn while building this nation? They matter. We should recognize their contributions to this nation in the form of a monument on the National Mall. Their enshrinement should stand alongside other memorials.

Lament is essential to human thriving. It allows us to cope with significant loss, an inescapable feature of our mortal existence. Lament is the passionate outpouring of deep sorrow and grief over such loss, which helps us avoid being completely overcome by the strong emotions that come with it. Lament is cathartic and constructive. It is a necessary step in coming to terms with great loss and moving forward in life. Not to lament is not to live—or at least not to live very fully, deeply, or well. This book deals with one instance of Christian lament in the late Reformation by exploring the efforts of a talented yet little-known layman to cope with the death of his beloved wife. For the first time, it provides full access to the remarkable work of private devotion that he authored to express his lament. A work of haunting candor, impressive artistry, and searching faith, The Pious Meditations is an extraordinarily rare and valuable source that has received very little scholarly attention. It furnishes both fresh insight into life in the past and important resources for life in the present. Written in a period that knew no radical separation between the academy and the church, it was informed by the author's experience in both, and can continue to speak to both today. $22.99 978-1-5064-2480-4 Ronald K. Rittgers Hardcover is Erich Markel Chair in German Reformation Studies at 318 pages Valparaiso University. His published works include The Reformation of the Keys (2004) and The Reformation of 09/21/2021 Suffering (2012).

“AMICO, dear treasure, In a work deeply reminiscent of Lewis’s A Grief Observed, we gain here a glimpse into early modern piety, the fam- where have you gone?” ily, indeed love, refracted through the lens of loss, pain, and grief. Rittgers has done scholars of early modernity, cultural history, the history of the family, and emotions a great service in finding, then translating this deeply personal story of one man’s loss. DAVID WHITFORD Baylor University Luther's Rome, Rome's Luther How the City Shaped the Reformer Carl P. E. Springer

This book reconsiders the question of Martin Luther's relationship with Rome in all its sixteenth-century manifestations: the early-modern city he visited as a young man, the ancient republic and empire whose language and literature he loved, the Holy Roman Empire of which he was a subject, and the sacred seat of the papacy. It will appeal to scholars as well as lay readers, especially those interested in Rome, the reception of the classics in the Reformation, Luther studies, and early-modern history. Springer's methodology is primarily literary-critical, and he analyzes a variety of texts—prose and poetry—throughout the book. Some of these speak for themselves, while Springer examines others more closely to tease out their possible meanings. The author also situates relevant texts within their appropriate contexts, as the topics in the book are interdisciplinary. While many of Luther's references to Rome are negative, especially in his later writings, Springer argues that his attitude to the city in general was more complicated than has often been supposed. If Rome had not once been so dear to Luther, it is unlikely that his later animosity would have been so intense. Springer shows that Luther continued to be deeply fascinated by Rome until the end of his life and contends that what is often thought of as his pure hatred of Rome is better analyzed as a kind of love-hate relationship with the venerable city.

Teaching Reformation Essays in Honor of Timothy J. Wengert Luka Ilić and Martin J. Lohrmann, eds.

Presented on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, this collection of essays honors the life and work of Dr. Timothy J. Wengert. Wengert, a pastor, a teacher of pastors, and a noted Reformation historian, brings to the work of scholarship a deep sense of its practical dimensions in the life of the church. Over the course of his career, Wengert's work and insights have been marked by the way in which they apply to and make different the lived life of the church, whether in preaching, worship, or theology. In these essays, Wengert's students, colleagues, and peers follow in their honoree's footsteps by highlighting the practical and pastoral implications of a rich tapestry of Reformation topics organized into three parts. In Part One, Luther and a diverse cast of colleagues are considered in light of their significance for today. In Part Two, the texts of the Reformation are examined, opening to Part Three, where the formation of faith through catechesis and the life of the church bring the book to a close.

In an engaging and accessible style, Martin J. Lohrmann introduces readers to fascinating glimpses of faith, courage, and love in action within the global Lutheran community that now numbers over 70 million members in churches worldwide. This growth matches the expansive view of the church universal that the Reformers held when they presented the Augsburg Confession in 1530.

The Augsburg Confession Renewing Lutheran Faith and Practice Timothy J. Wengert

The Augsburg Confession is the single most-important confession of faith among Lutherans today. By situating both the history and the theology of this document within the practice and life of faith, Timothy J. Wengert shows just how relevant the Confession’s witness is for today’s Lutheran parishes and their leaders by unlocking how its articles can shape and strengthen the church’s witness today.

The Essential Forde Distinguishing Law and Gospel Gerhard O. Forde; Nicholas Hopman et al., eds.

No twentieth-century American understood Luther’s law-gospel distinction better than Gerhard O. Forde. This volume collects many of Forde’s most influential writings, which expounded the meaning of this distinction and explored its theological significance. Each selection contains relevant historical background, as well as Forde’s unique, contemporary understanding of the law-gospel distinction and its implications for other theological topics, including death and resurrection, the bondage of the will, good works, preaching, theological method, and the sacraments. A comprehensive editorial introduction, including a brief biography of Forde, an interpretive essay on his writings, and a sketch of his legacy, rounds out this essential tome.

Luther’s Outlaw God Volume 1: Hiddenness, Evil, and Predestination Steven D. Paulson

In this first of three volumes addressing Luther’s outlaw God, Steven D. Paulson considers the two “monsters” of theology, as Luther calls them: evil and predestination. He explores how these produce fear of God but can also become the great and only comforts of conscience when a preacher arrives. Paulson argues that the distinction between God naked/clothed or unpreached/preached radiates out in all directions for Luther’s theology. Specifically, Paulson takes up the central question: What is God’s relation to the law? Luther’s answers will change the way you preach.

Luther’s Outlaw God Volume 2: Hidden in the Cross Steven D. Paulson

In this second of three volumes addressing Luther’s outlaw God, Steven D. Paulson illustrates Luther’s understanding of law and gospel and its implications for preaching through an examination of key biblical figures. The gospel is what freed Luther from thinking of the world as split into two: an obscure world where law accuses and a magical world where the law blesses. With remarkable depth and clarity, Paulson explores Luther’s fundamental question: Where do we find a gracious God? For Luther, such a God is found not in the law but only in the despised and publicly executed Jesus Christ—God hidden in the cross.

In this third of three volumes addressing Luther’s outlaw God, Steven D. Paulson invites readers to embark on the deepest, hardest, most glorious of all God’s ways of hiding: God hiding a third time in the preached word or sacraments. Paulson’s grasp of historical, theological, and hermeneutical scholarship is on full display in this volume, but always in service of proclamation of the gospel. Readers and proclaimers: prepare to be provoked, enlightened, and inspired.

Translated for the first time from the original Persian into English, these selected treatises from Aziz O-Din Nasafi's thirteenth-century work, The Perfect Being, provide a fascinating and rare, yet applicable, introduction to Sufism. The Perfect Being reads like a personal journal as well as a manual for those interested in Sufism. Its lucid exposition of the journey toward self-knowledge is both profound and eloquent, practical and transcendent. Presented here alongside a helpful introduction and explanatory notes to guide the reader, this book serves as a valuable introduction to classic Islamic texts.

Amir Sabzevary has taught religion and philosophy for over thirty years at a variety of colleges and universities in California. He is currently the Chair of Philosophy and Humanities at Laney College in Oakland, California.

CASSIE LIPOWITZ Notre Dame de Namur University Christian – Zen Dialogue Sacred Stories as a Starting Point for Interfaith Dialogue Jijimon Alakkalam Joseph SVD

This book is an attempt to contribute to interfaith-dialogue initiatives spearheaded by the Catholic Church with Zen, one of the major and fast-growing spiritual traditions in East Asia. In recent years, the Catholic Church has emphasized the importance of interfaith dialogue in its missionary activities and has encouraged all to take part actively. The number of conferences organized, discussions held, and articles written on interfaith dialogue has escalated. However, interfaith dialogue remains mostly in the realm of specialists. The majority of ordinary believers/laity have not yet become part of interfaith-dialogue activities. Many are unaware of such activities because often they don't take place where ordinary people spend their daily lives. Others shy away because interfaith-dialogue activities are too specialized. But Joseph's experience growing up in a multireligious context in India taught him that the participation of ordinary believers is necessary if interfaith dialogue is to achieve its intended results. $29.99 | 978-1-5064-7077-1 | Paperback | 192 pages | 09/07/2021

Journeys of Asian Diaspora Mapping Originations and Destinations, Volume 1 Sam George

Asians make up the largest and most dispersed people of the world, and Christians make up a sizable proportion of this demographic. Asian Christians are more likely to emigrate, and many have continued to embrace Christian faith at their diasporic places of settlement. They are quick to establish distinctively Asian churches all over the world and infuse diversity, revival, and missionary consciousness into their adopted communities. They preserve the ties and cultures of their ancestral homelands while assimilating and adapting into the new setting. They have become a recognizable force in the transformation and advancement of Christianity itself at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The dozen essays in this volume are written by leading scholars of Asian backgrounds situated in various diasporic locations. The authors trace the contours of their dispersion and highlight diverse missiological themes, including the scattering (diaspora) and the gathering (ekklesia) of Asian Christians around the world. This volume traces the origins and destinations of major Asian migration and diaspora communities from a variety of perspectives and geographical locations. It is pan-Asian in scope and multidisciplinary in nature. It also provides the latest data and infographics on Asian diasporas worldwide.

Exploring Islam is a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the foundations of the Islamic faith, including its history, theology, and spiritual practice. The book also deals with issues such as jihad, the status of women, and the various sectarian divisions in Islam. Most distinctive about this work is its analysis of the lived experience of Muslims in modern American life. The book explores questions such as: • What are the foundations of Islam? • How do Muslims relate to and interpret the Qur'an? • Who is the Prophet Muhammad? • What does Shari'a law really mean? • What are the major themes of Islamic theology? • What are the theological and political issues that led to divisions among Muslims? • Do Muslims and Christians believe in the same God? • How do Muslims practice Islam in America? • What are the challenges and opportunities for American Muslims? In addressing these questions, Sayilgan offers readers a perspective that is scholarly, judicious, and engaging. $29.00 | 978-1-5064-6802-0 | Paperback | 251 pages | 09/21/2021

The Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences Bearing Witness to the Gospel and the Reign of God in Asia Jonathan Y. Tan

This book presents the theological contributions of the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences (FABC), a transnational body comprising fifteen Asian Catholic bishops' conferences as full members and ten associate members. The book introduces the contemporary context of Asia and represents a complete reworking of the author's approach to the FABC's way of being church and doing theology in Asia. The emphasis of the book is on the postcolonial dimensions of Asia and the challenges and implications of decolonization for shaping a postcolonial Asian church and way of theologizing. The book also addresses the challenges of religious pluralism for the FABC and the FABC's prophetic response—seeking to be a sacrament of unity and harmony amid much strife, violence, and conflict. Finally, the book discusses new challenges and possibilities for the FABC as it looks ahead. Tan explores the challenges and implications of migration, transient migration, online and virtual communities, and insider movements for shaping the future of the FABC's approach to theology.

Wild Belief Poets and Prophets in the Wilderness Nick Ripatrazone Wild Belief brings together a diverse and unique set of writers who span literary styles, genres, and time periods—but who are united in their search for spirit in the wild.

Baptized in Tear Gas From White Moderate to Abolitionist Elle Dowd, Foreword by Traci Blackmon In Baptized in Tear Gas, minister and activist Elle Dowd invites readers to experience her transformation from what Martin Luther King Jr. referred to as “the white moderate” into an Assata Shakur-reading, courthouse- occupying abolitionist.

Through the Uprising in Ferguson, God made Elle into something new. Now it's our turn. $16.99 | 9781506470429 | PB | 08/10/2021
