The Culture of Theology John Webster; Ivor J. Davidson and Alden C. McCray, editors “This volume provides the reader with a wonderful and welcome chance to reflect carefully with John Webster on the task of theology— its methods, sources, contexts, purpose, and character. The lectures presented here leave one inspired and encouraged, yet also gloriously unsettled by the vocation of theology and its demands. Complete with an illuminating introduction by Ivor Davidson, this work comes highly recommended.”—Paul Nimmo, University of Aberdeen “Why would a theologian as God-centered as John Webster be constantly ruminating on theology’s culture, theology’s tasks, Christian tradition, university faculties, and so forth? He does so in order to meet his hearers in the midst of their (our) theologically scandalous loss of interest in God and Christ and to call out: God is summoning you; the eschaton (Christ himself) has broken in among you; Scripture is speaking Christ’s Word to you in the Spirit! When Christ is recognized for who he is, theology can rediscover itself for what it is: a joyful response to the risen Lord. Let theologians be Christians and thereby really have something to say to one another, to the university, and to the wider world.”—Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary “How wonderful to have Webster’s Culture of Theology edited and made available to a new generation of readers in this fine book.

Theology in the Democracy of the Dead A Dialogue with the Living Tradition Matt Jenson “Theology in the Democracy of the Dead is a lively and accessible— and yet also deeply considered—set of conversations with some of the Christian tradition’s most vivid and powerful voices. Again and again these voices from the past come to life in response to Jenson’s queries and exclamations. A first-rate example of truly dialogical theology.” —Alan Jacobs, Honors College, Baylor University “Jenson deserves our deepest thanks for extending this superb invitation to apprenticeship with some of the finest thinkers ever to walk the face of the earth. I hope and pray that many readers will respond with close attention, advancing in Christian discipleship in communion with the saints.”—Douglas A. Sweeney, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University “Conversation lies at the heart of the theological enterprise, conversations with great minds of the past in particular. Dispelling damaging caricatures with a largely sure touch, Jenson converses with eleven diverse Christian theologians from across the centuries. By doing so, he engages with many of the key issues of Christian theology. These essays will surely generate further conversation.”—Frances Young, University of Birmingham “This book has been years in the making.

Earthkeeping and Character Exploring a Christian Ecological Virtue Ethic Steven Bouma-Prediger “‘What we do depends on who we are’ is the thoughtful theme of this wonderfully refreshing book with an illuminating biblical focus on earthkeeping. Inviting us to the pulsing heart of caring for, serving, and keeping the entire biosphere, Bouma-Prediger helps us reframe our ecological ethics by centering on the virtues of wonder and humility, self-control and wisdom, justice and love, and courage and hope. He thus invites us to develop and nurture personal character to make earthkeeping integral to Christian faith.”—Calvin B. DeWitt, University of Wisconsin-Madison; author of Earthwise and “Earth Stewardship and Laudato Si’” “This new book cements Bouma-Prediger’s reputation as one of our best thinkers and writers on the most important issue facing Christians today—how we relate to God’s creation and care for it well in a time of profound crisis. Bouma-Prediger provides a beautiful and compelling vision of a Christian ecological virtue ethic that can inspire faithful living and concerted action among all Christians. This important book will now be required reading in my environmental ethics courses.” —Jonathan A. Moo, Whitworth University “I remember precisely where I was when I first read Bouma-Prediger’s groundbreaking For the Beauty of the Earth. In the end, it woke me up to Christ’s call to care for the earth. One might struggle to imagine how he could top that prophetic book. He has done it.

Theology as a Way of Life On Teaching and Learning the Christian Faith Adam Neder What difference does Jesus Christ make for the way we teach the Christian faith? If he is truly God and truly human, if he reveals God to us and us to ourselves, how might that shape our approach to teaching Christian theology? Without a compelling theological vision of theological instruction and without a clear awareness of its unique goals, challenges, and temptations, our teaching will be out of joint with the subject matter, and we will waste valuable opportunities. Drawing on the work of Søren Kierkegaard, Karl Barth, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Adam Neder offers a clear and creative theological and spiritual reflection on the art of teaching the Christian faith. This concise and engaging book offers a wealth of fresh insights and practical suggestions. While addressed to teachers in academic contexts, the approach is broad enough to include anyone involved in teaching and learning Christianity.

ENDORSEMENTS “This is the book I wish I could have read when I started teaching over thirty years ago. Ironically, much literature on theological pedagogy these days is woefully bereft of theology. Every page of this book takes its ultimate cue, materially and formally, from the Christ-shaped gospel itself—in all its disturbing and heart-wrenching glory. At the same time, the text is jargon-free, utterly honest, and obviously born out of years Adam Neder (PhD, Princeton Theological Seminary) of classroom experience. It is simply superb.”—Jeremy Begbie, Duke is Bruner-Welch Professor of Theology at Whitworth Divinity School I University and is the author of Participation in Christ: An Entry into Karl Barth’s Church Dogmatics.

What comes to expression here is the ‘im- possible possibility’ of teaching theology, and the kind of ‘theological existence’ the teacher must herself reflect if she wants her students to know that this human impossibility is nonetheless, by God’s grace, possible.

All together, the three volumes of Dogmatic Ecclesiology will offer a major statement on the doctrine of the church for Christians from a variety of backgrounds. Volume 2 will explore the prophetic apostolicity of the church, and volume 3 will cover the kingly holiness of the church.

Baptists and the Catholic Tradition Reimagining the Church’s Witness in the Modern World, 2nd ed. Barry Harvey Barry Harvey provides a doctrine of the church that combines Baptist distinctives and origins with an unbending commitment to the visible church as the social body of Christ. Speaking to the broader Christian community, Harvey updates, streamlines, and recontextualizes the arguments he made in an earlier edition of this book (Can These Bones Live?). This new edition offers a contemporary revival of “Baptist Catholicity,” a style of ecclesial witness that can help Christian churches engage culture. Harvey suggests new ways Baptists can engage ecumenically with Catholics and other Protestants, offers insights for Christian worship and practice, and shows how the fragmented body of Christ can be re-membered after Christendom.

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION “Harvey has written a small Summa for our time, a fine compendium of ecclesial wisdom for making Christian witness to the principalities and powers of our age. With massive learning, both theological and biblical, he offers us a real masterwork, a splendid demonstration of theological thinking at its best, fully mature and fully engaged with church and world alike.”—Ralph C. Wood, Baylor University “Harvey contends that free churches in North America, and throughout the world, do not merely exist in a state of division.

Providence A Biblical, Historical, and Theological Account Mark W. Elliott This book by a leading scholar of Christian theology and exegesis is a capstone of years of research on the history and theology of the doctrine of providence. Addressing a topic of perennial interest in Christian theology, Mark Elliott offers a constructive account of the doctrine of providence and shows that, contrary to received opinion, the Bible has a lot to say about providence as a distinct doctrine within the wider scope of God’s acts of salvation. Elliott explains that providence operates outside the range of knowledge and full comprehensibility, eluding faith and transcending revelation. Therefore, readers must look for traces of God’s action in the stories and philosophies of the biblical authors, which appear in the biblical corpus in such themes as the hand of God, the face of God, the kingdom, the plan of God, blessing, life, breath, enduring order, judgment, protection, and the hidden God. Elliott explores these themes in such a way that the entirety of the Bible across both Testaments bears witness to the theme of providence. He concludes by showing how the findings of his analysis speak to the concerns of systematic and practical theologians.

In a time in which our social fabric seems to be tearing, Jerry Sittser draws on the early centuries of the church to offer a powerful vision of Christian witness. Sittser’s ‘Third Way’ offers significant promise for a robust renewal of Christian life and thought.”—L.

Sittser believes his vocation is to write this kind of book, and he’s done so in Resilient Faith.

Introducing Evangelical Theology Daniel J. Treier “In making introductions, first impressions count: according to a Harvard study it takes only seven seconds to size up a new acquain- tance. Introducing Evangelical Theology makes a good impression in the first seven pages, where we meet a movement that is equally concerned with intellectual, moral, and spiritual formation; ecumenically orthodox and rooted in the great creeds; yet distinctly Protestant in its insistence that the gospel retain its glorious freedom to renew and reform. This is not simply an introduction to but an education in evangelical theology, and one to which I will be enthusiastically introducing students for years to come.”—Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “Real faith seeks deeper understanding, and when it does, it inevitably reaches out for help. This book is that help. Treier has produced a tool for training the evangelical mind and for training the mind evan- gelically.

Fesko carefully examines the nineteenth-century idealist backgrounds of the Van Tilian and Dooyeweerdian approaches and demonstrates their flawed epistemology. He outlines the enduring strength of the genuine tradition of the Reformation, which begins with the authority of Scripture but also recognizes the presence of intuitions and concepts common to believer and unbeliever and of the natural law written on the heart—common grounds of discourse necessary to the apologetic task.”—Richard A.

For that reason, they belong together as ‘related members of a single organism.’ Since its release, Reformed Dogmatics has given a wide audience the chance to engage with a great Christian theologian on God and God’s works of creation, salvation, and consummation. In Reformed Ethics, we are invited to think with Bavinck about the concreteness of human life in the light and strength of God’s deeds for us. For that, we owe the editor and translators a great deal.”—James Eglinton, New College, University of Edinburgh “John Bolt and his accomplished team of translators and editors have added amazing value to Bavinck’s recently rediscovered manuscripts in the field of moral theology. An invaluable background study on the history of theological ethics.”—James A. De Jong, Calvin Theological Seminary (emeritus)

The Story of Creeds and Confessions Tracing the Development of the Christian Faith Donald Fairbairn and Ryan M. Reeves “This welcome study combines detailed attention to the foundation of creedal Christianity (especially Nicaea and Chalcedon) with authoritative accounts of later confessional traditions. It is a good book for beginning theologians and an excellent review for those who have traversed this ground before.”—Mark A. Noll, editor of Confessions and Catechisms of the Reformation “This volume provides a wonderful introduction to the creeds and confessions of the Christian church. It attends carefully to the various historical contexts within which these diverse texts were written and deployed and offers insightful comment on the theological claims that they advance. The result is a work that spurs the reader to greater appreciation and deeper understanding of the tradition of the church and the way in which its official texts have served at different points to express unity, continuity, and disruption. Above all, Fairbairn and Reeves witness to the desirability of taking these documents seriously not only as historical artifacts but also as ongoing witnesses, insisting that what binds Christians together is of much greater significance than what separates them.”—Paul T.

THEOLOGY, HISTORY, AND ETHICS The Meaning of Protestant Theology Luther, Augustine, and the Gospel That Gives Us Christ Phillip Cary “Cary gives a clear and concise definition of the meaning of Protestant theology. Luther’s sacramental conception of the gospel is the meaning of Prot- estant theology; even more, it is the essence of Christianity, the key to the right interpretation of the Bible, and the root of the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity. Cary has prepared a rich theological feast of many courses, serving consumers of various tastes with plenty to take away and digest.”—Carl E. Braaten, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago (emeritus); founding director, Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology “Years ago, Cary began to suspect that Augustine’s inward turn was a false step, that what we sinners need is what Luther said we need—a grace that comes to us from outside of us. Here is the fruit of that suspicion, a fully realized account of the meaning of Protestant theology (and spirituality) centered on the gospel as a sacramental word that gives us Christ.”—Matt Jenson, Torrey Honors Institute, Biola University

Transubstantiation Theology, History, and Christian Unity Brett Salkeld Foreword by Michael Root This thoroughgoing study examines the doctrine of transubstantiation from historical, theological, and ecumenical vantage points. Brett Salkeld explores eucharistic presence in the theologies of Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin, showing that Christians might have more in common on this topic than they have typically been led to believe.

FROM THE FOREWORD “An exemplary contribution. . . . Churches need to be open to new ways of thinking, but they cannot simply abandon doctrinal commitments of the past with a ‘that was then, this is now’ wave of the hand. Just here is where Salkeld’s work is so valuable. Ecumenical discussions with Catholics on the Eucharist cannot evade the term ‘transubstantiation’ and all that the term brings with it. Salkeld faces the issues head-on, bringing to the discussion both historical learning and ecumenical creativity and sensitivity.”—Michael Root

In addition to skillfully unpacking Barth’s understanding of the purpose, method, and content of dogmatics, Bender also underscores the indispensability of sustained theological inquiry in the life and ministry of the church.

These essays sparkle with insight. They also remind us of what Christian dogmatics once was—and what it can be again— when done at a high level.

Rather than offering a new method for church outreach, Cross insists on renewing the church’s theology. Only a theological re-formation of the church can cultivate authentic practices of worship, discipleship, and ministry required for fulfilling the church’s God-given mission in its dynamic twenty-first-century cultural context.”—Steven M. Studebaker, McMaster Divinity College “Cross wants to reinfuse into Christian churches the reality of God’s presence, especially in the person and work of the Holy Spirit. He offers some radical suggestions for restoring God’s presence both in public worship and in the proclamation of Scripture.

Defending Shame Its Formative Power in Paul’s Letters Te-Li Lau Foreword by Luke Timothy Johnson Our culture often views shame and shaming in a negative light. However, Paul’s use of shame, when properly understood and applied, has much to teach the contemporary church. Filling a lacuna in Pauline scholarship, Defending Shame shows how Paul uses shame to admonish and to transform the minds of his readers into the mind of Christ. The author examines Paul’s use of shame for moral formation within his Jewish and Greco-Roman context, compares and contrasts Paul’s use of shame with other cultural voices, and offers a corrective understanding for today’s church. The book explores how Paul’s moral psychology of shame can guide believers to live lives that honor not only God but also their calling as children of God.

FROM THE FOREWORD “Readers will find here that a thoroughly contemporary and contentious issue is thrown into new light by the careful consideration of ancient wisdom, and in that light will find themselves appreciating a dimension of life that up to now they have little appreciated, or even deprecated.

Living in Union with Christ Paul’s Gospel and Christian Moral Identity Grant Macaskill Leading New Testament theologian Grant Macaskill introduces Paul’s understanding of the Christian life, which is grounded in the apostle’s theology of union with Christ. The author shows that the exegetical foundations for a Christian moral theology emerge from the idea of union with Christ. Macaskill covers various aspects of Christian moral theology, exploring key implications for the Christian life of the New Testament idea of participatory union as they unfold in Paul’s Letters.

EXCERPT This book is an exercise in the practical theological interpretation of Paul’s Epistles. It involves careful exegesis of a number of passages in critical dialogue with the work of other biblical scholars, but its purpose is not simply to gain a better understanding of Paul’s thought in its historical context, which is how biblical scholars often conceive of their task. Rather, it is ultimately oriented toward asking a practical theological question: As Christians who are committed to seeing Scripture as normative for our thought and practice, how then must we think and act today?

ENDORSEMENTS “This is a stimulating exploration of the significance of Paul’s theology of union with Christ for Christian formation and faithful discipleship.

God’s Relational Presence The Cohesive Center of Biblical Theology J. Scott Duvall and J. Daniel Hays This fresh approach to the question of the unity of the whole Bible shows that God’s desire to be with his people is a thread running from Genesis to Revelation. Leading biblical scholars J. Scott Duvall and J. Daniel Hays make the case that God’s relational presence is central to the Bible’s grand narrative. It is the cohesive center that drives the biblical story and ties together other important biblical themes, such as covenant, kingdom, glory, and salvation history.

ENDORSEMENTS “Think of being able to walk through the web of themes that make up the whole Bible and have them make sense as a coherent whole. God’s Relational Presence is a great step in that direction. It introduces you to all the sections of Scripture and to the synthetic discussions of what links them all together. I enthusiastically recommend this book.” —Darrell L. Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary “Scott Duvall and Daniel Hays are two of my favorite biblical scholars. I am constantly blessed by their works, and now I can add God’s Relational Presence to that number. This is a compressive biblical theology that covers the entire canon of Scripture.

Handbook on Acts and Paul’s Letters Thomas R. Schreiner HANDBOOKS ON THE NEW TESTAMENT Benjamin L. Gladd, series editor Leading biblical scholar Thomas Schreiner provides an easy-to-navigate resource for studying and understanding the Acts of the Apostles and the Pauline Letters. This accessibly written volume summarizes the content of each major section of the biblical text to help readers quickly grasp the sense of particular passages. This is the first volume in the Handbooks on the New Testament series, which is modeled after Baker Academic’s popular Old Testament handbook series.

Written with classroom utility and pastoral application in mind, these books will appeal to students, pastors, and laypeople alike.

Scrupulously fair and, in fact, generous to non-Christians (including contemporary skeptics), its author draws on his profound engagement with Christian sources and his immense humanistic learning to probe the challenges and subtleties—and also the rewards—of holding a commitment to a scriptural religion in our time.

A Boundless God The Spirit according to the Old Testament Jack Levison

The word rûah ̣ (commonly translated as breath, wind, spirit, or Spirit) occurs in the Old Testament 389 times—more frequently than torah, shalom, or Sabbath. In this volume, a popular Old Testament scholar cracks open the challenging and provocative world of the Spirit in the Old Testament, offering readers cogent yet comprehensive insights. Grounded in scholarship yet accessible and inviting, A Boundless God unlocks the world of the Spirit, plunging readers into an imaginative realm of fresh senses, sounds, and skills. The book gives readers the opportunity to recapture Israel’s tenacious sense of the Spirit’s energy as it was expressed by a series of vibrant verbs: blowing, breathing, coming, resting, passing, pouring, filling, cleansing, standing, and guiding. Readers will encounter in these pages all of the Old Testament expressions of the Spirit—passages that will challenge the conventional, confront the com- monplace, and transport them to a world of wisdom, work, and wonder.

EXCERPT In an ironic and unfortunate state of affairs, there is actually a discon- certing disparity between the prominence of the word rûah ̣ in the Old Testament and the near absence of the Old Testament in studies of the Spirit. The effect is a truncated study of the Spirit. . . . To understand the Spirit through the Jewish Scriptures is to garner altogether new insight that is otherwise inaccessible to us. The results are enlivening. . . . The results may even be alarming for their unfamiliarity and freshness. Jack Levison (PhD, Duke University) is W. J. A.

The Hope of Israel The Resurrection of Christ in the Acts of the Apostles Brandon D. Crowe The Hope of Israel highlights the sustained focus in Acts on the resurrection of Christ, bringing clarity to the theology of Acts and its purpose. Brandon Crowe explores the historical, theological, and canonical implications of Jesus’s resurrection in early Christianity and helps readers more clearly understand the purpose of Acts in the context of the New Testament canon. He also shows how the resurrection is the fulfillment of the Old Testament Scriptures. The first half of the book demonstrates the centrality of the resurrection in Acts. The second half teases out its implications in more detail, including how the resurrection is the turning point of redemptive history, how it relates to early Christian readings of the Old Testament, and how the resurrection emphasis of Acts coheres in the New Testament canon. This first major book-length study on the theological significance of Jesus’s resurrection in Acts will appeal to professors, students, and scholars of the New Testament.

Revelation Sigve K. Tonstad PAIDEIA: COMMENTARIES ON THE NEW TESTAMENT Mikeal C. Parsons, Charles H. Talbert, and Bruce W. Longenecker, series editors This practical commentary on Revelation is conversant with contemporary scholarship, draws on ancient backgrounds, and attends to the theological nature of the text. Sigve Tonstad, an expert in the early Jewish context of the New Testament, offers a nonretributive reading of Revelation and addresses the issue of divine violence.

ENDORSEMENT “Well-written, accessible, and wise, Tonstad’s commentary nav- igates a myriad of issues that either put off or entice readers to the enigma that is Revelation. Situating Revelation among its Reformation skeptics, its modern naysayers, and its more sensationalist interpreters, Tonstad reads the apocalypse in terms of the cosmic conflict in which God’s decisive response to the evil of the great Deceiver is to offer revelation and witness as the antidote. Full of macro- and micro-level insights along with clear and helpful theological analysis, this volume is a welcome addition to the Paideia series.”—Darian Lockett, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University

An excellent work.”—Donald Senior, CP, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago “Eubank shows how Paul sets forth a vision of Christians as the family of God, called to grow in love and holiness, in need of instruction about the hope of resurrection and the day of the Lord, and facing persecution and suffering. Not only that, Eubank cites Augustine, Bernard, Catherine of Siena, C. S.

Numbers An Exegetical Commentary BACK IN PRINT R. K. Harrison R. K. Harrison was one of the leading evangelical Old Testament scholars of the twentieth century. In this volume, he applies his considerable skills to interpreting the fourth book of the Pentateuch. “The book of Numbers is of pivotal importance for all Old Testament study because it covers the formative period of Israel’s communal and religious life,” notes Harrison in the introduction. Based on the Hebrew text, Harrison’s insightful commentary provides a translation for each pericope, in-depth textual notes, explanations, and exposition. A concise introduction focuses on the place of Numbers in the Pentateuch and the wider canon, as well as its structure, compilation, authorship, and both textual and interpretive histories. Exposition sections interact with theological, archaeological, and historical scholarship. The primary theme of the commentary is that Numbers represents a covenant-renewal document whose historical narratives graphically describe the Israelites’ experiences and difficulties as Yahweh’s chosen people.

Colossians and Philemon G. K. Beale BAKER EXEGETICAL COMMENTARY ON THE NEW TESTAMENT Robert W. Yarbrough and Joshua W. Jipp, series editors “As we have come to expect from Beale’s notable scholarship, this commentary on Colossians and Philemon models how thorough research, keen attention to Old Testament allusions, and meticulous study of the Greek text provide a basis for incisive, theologically grounded preaching and teaching. It should take its place on the shelf of definitive commentaries on the New Testament that truly help in these tasks.” —David E. Garland, Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University “Beale’s commentary on Colossians and Philemon is everything we have come to expect from a veteran New Testament scholar. His exegesis is detailed and rich in insight and theologically profound, and his emphasis on the fulfillment of the temple in Colossians is illuminating. Old Testament allusions are mined, helping readers to see how Colos- sians and Philemon fit within the entire biblical witness. For pastors, students, and professors, Beale’s work on these two letters will prove invaluable in their own research and study.”—Thomas R. Schreiner, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “Beale is a first-rate New Testament scholar with proven expertise in the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament and biblical theology.

Few volumes are both informative and spiritually uplift- ing—this one is!”—Michael F.

Reading Scripture Canonically Theological Instincts for Old Testament Interpretation Mark S. Gignilliat “How might we read the Old Testament canon as Christian Scripture? This is the driving question of the volume. Gignilliat places critical discussions within the framework of the Old Testament as an intentionally crafted, living Word of God and then proposes how Christians might read it with trinitarian sensibilities. This fresh and thoughtful exploration of what it means to read the Old Testament canon theologically can enrich current debates.”—M. Daniel Carroll R. (Rodas), Wheaton College and Graduate School “Here is an authentic Christian refrain about the Bible, echoing the tradition but transposed into a twenty-first-century key. Gignilliat does ample justice to Scripture’s material form and historical situatedness—this is not a screed against historical criticism—yet he pushes beyond source-oriented considerations and reconstructions to grapple with the trinitarian witness of the biblical canon, especially the Old Testament. These are questions that contemporary Christian biblical scholars usually neglect to pursue. May it be otherwise!”—Stephen B. Chapman, Duke University

Mission after Pentecost The Witness of the Spirit from Genesis to Revelation Amos Yong MISSION IN GLOBAL COMMUNITY Scott W. Sunquist and Amos Yong, series editors Leading scholar Amos Yong articulates a biblical understanding of mission that is informed by three current streams of academic conversation: theological interpretation of Scripture, pentecostal theology, and missiology. By bringing Pentecostal theology into the Bible and mission conversation, Yong identifies the role of the divine spirit in God’s mission to redeem the world. The author works through the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation, emphasizing the global missiological imperative: “People of all nations reaching out to people of all nations.” The result is a pneumatological theology of the missio Dei—the mission of the triune God— that is thoroughly scriptural and surprisingly relevant for enabling appropriate Christian witness today. Sidebars include voices from around the globe who help the author put the biblical text into conversation with twenty-first-century questions, offering the church a fresh understanding of its mission and how to pursue it in the decades to come.

The Symphony of Mission Playing Your Part in God’s Work in the World Michael W. Goheen and Jim Mullins “This is one of the best books on mission that I’ve encountered in recent years. I resonate with the authors’ picture of mission as a glorious symphony, which harmonizes various missional activities and callings within the divine composer’s purpose for all of creation. What makes Goheen and Mullins’s approach distinctive is their attention to how God’s mission plays out in everyday practice. The book teems with engaging examples, gripping stories, and useful tools. Readers, prepare to be deeply moved and personally challenged to more faithfully participate in God’s symphony.

While the book speaks powerfully to missionaries and artists of all kinds, I recommend it for mission pastors, students, and professors as well, as it offers a clear and compelling introduction to the importance of engaging global arts in ministry.”—Robin Harris, Center for Excellence in World Arts, Dallas International University “It has been said that music is a universal language, but its meaning is not. King has given us an in-depth analysis adding to the ethnomusicological lexicon in great detail.

Introducing Cultural Anthropology A Christian Perspective, 2nd ed. Brian M. Howell and Jenell Paris “Howell and Paris have provided an introductory text for cultural anthropology that is not only well-written, informative, and interesting but also unique in bridging the gap between this secular discipline and Christianity. Theological excursions into subjects relevant to Christians, devotional exercises for contemplating the full significance of human life in biblical terms, and personal accounts of the paradoxes of the working life of Christian anthropologists are interwoven with clear and penetrating explanations of anthropological concepts. In all this, the authors are faithful to both Christianity and anthropology. This book will provide much food for thought to Christians interested in discovering the value of anthropology for life, ministry, and practice.”—Eloise Hiebert Meneses, Eastern University; author of On Knowing Humanity “Introducing Cultural Anthropology deftly covers traditional anthropological themes such as culture, kinship, power, language, religion, and ritual. But more importantly, Howell and Paris show that anthropology is not just for intrepid missionaries or those interested in distant lands; rather, because it engages human themes such as poverty and injustice, gender and sexuality, and race and inequality, anthropology is an essential tool for understanding and contributing to our communities, churches, and neighborhoods. Introducing Cultural Anthropology is the ideal text for the thoughtful Christian classroom.”—Aminta Arrington, John Brown University

Preaching God’s Grand Drama A Biblical-Theological Approach Ahmi Lee Foreword by Mark Labberton “The sermon is the best weapon in the pastor’s arsenal for taking every thought, and our imaginations, captive to Christ, which is why preaching may be the quintessential theological act. But what kind of act is it? Ahmi Lee describes the two prevailing models, didactic and dialogical, and proposes a third model, the dramatic, that preserves the best of the other two while avoiding their weaknesses. Lee’s proposal for a theodramatic homiletic provides pastors with the tonic they need to communicate the gospel effectively to our increasingly secularized, disenchanted age.”—Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “Too many homiletics books frustrate their readers with predictable and played out hermeneutical scripts, such as the preacher-as-exalted- interpreter or the preacher-as-humiliated-subject. Preaching God’s Grand Drama offers us a better script, a fresher performance than the typical proposals, one that holds promise for preachers and for preaching both now and in the future.”—Jared E. Alcántara, Truett Theological Semi- nary, Baylor University “For preachers who are weary of having to choose either ‘textual’ or ‘topical’ preaching, Preaching God’s Grand Drama offers a profoundly rich vision that will inform and inspire an alternative way of seeing Ahmi Lee (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) is that stretches the homiletical imagination to more theologically fitting assistant professor of preaching at Fuller Theolog- dimensions.

The Practices of Christian Preaching Essentials for Effective Proclamation Jared E. Alcántara “Great preaching involves a firm grasp of the gospel as well as a keen sense of the moment, a discernment of the crises of this day, and the hungers of particular people at specific junctures of history. Alcántara has written a timely and wise book, a book that guides preachers toward sermons born out of the electric encounter between the enduring good news and rapidly moving news of the day.” —Thomas G. Long, Candler School of Theology (emeritus) “In the midst of all the changes to communication styles in a technological world, our vocation has not changed. We are to preach the Christian message with conviction, clarity, creativity, in context, and geared to concrete situations. Alcántara urges us in a straightforward way not to forget the roots of our calling. But he also keeps us connected to the transcultural and multilingual realities many of us face as we seek to be faithful preachers. ¡Gracias, hermano!”—Juan Francisco Martínez, Fuller Theological Seminary “Biblically and theologically grounded throughout, this book goes beyond mechanics to the practices of preaching as life-giving habits.

Understanding Transgender Identities Four Views James K. Beilby and Paul Rhodes Eddy, editors This book offers a full-scale dialogue on transgender identities from across the Christian theological spectrum. It brings together contributors with expertise and platforms in the study of transgender identities to articulate and defend differing perspectives on this contested topic. After an introductory chapter surveys key historical moments and current issues, the book presents four views, helping readers understand the spectrum of views among Christians and enabling Christian communities to establish a context where conversations can safely be held.

EXCERPT We have sought to find contributors who have some fundamental differ- ences on the important issues within this debate. In particular, we have focused on finding contributors who hold differing perspectives on such questions as whether sex is binary; whether gender is binary; whether there are stable, transcultural, or divinely ordained gender expressions/ roles; and whether social and/or medical/surgical transitioning is appropriate or advantageous for transgender individuals. . . . We also sought to find contributors who can engage this difficult and polarizing issue in clear and respectful dialogue. For Christians, this should be nonnegotiable. This does not mean that there are no difficult questions raised or that everyone in the conversation will remain comfortable. Rather, it means that when we disagree, it must be with an James K.

Pastor Paul Nurturing a Culture of Christoformity in the Church Scot McKnight THEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS FOR THE CHURCH CATHOLIC “Scot McKnight has always been one of my favorite writers and theologians because he writes with a deep love for and understanding of the local church. Pastor Paul helps us discover the heart of Paul as a pastor and then apply that same heart to the postmodern setting of the church in North America. His description of pastors as culture-makers is one that leaders of the church need to grasp for the church to thrive in current and future realities.”—Mike Glenn, senior pastor, Brentwood Baptist Church, Brentwood, Tennessee “With careful exegesis of Paul’s world, Paul’s letters, and our own world, McKnight shows how pastoral ministry in the spirit of Paul is focused on nurturing a culture of corporate Christlikeness. Full of wisdom concerning critical aspects of both Pauline and contemporary pastoral ministry, this is a book that will help form more faithful ministers of the gospel and, through them, more faithful churches.”—Michael J. Gorman, St. Mary’s Seminary and University, Baltimore “This book contains a wealth of treasures for anyone who is currently pastoring, who has been pastoring for years, or who is beginning to sense a call to pastor. It is full of biblical and theological insights from the life and writings of Paul, as well as McKnight’s own astute obser- vations on the pastor’s life.

A Manual for Preaching The Journey from Text to Sermon Abraham Kuruvilla “Abraham Kuruvilla is a physician-theologian whose work in the field of homiletics is both innovative and firmly Bible based. This manual on preaching is at once practical and theologically rich. It shows not only how-to but also wherefore. Highly recommended!”—Timothy George, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University; general editor of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture “Wise, humble, realistic, vividly illustrated, erudite, comprehensive, constructively contrarian, playful, memorable, but above all helpful for the serious preacher. Kuruvilla’s magnum opus builds upon decades of preaching, equipping preachers, and writing for them. Some homiletics texts are purely theoretical, or the exemplary sermons are so detached from the theory that they could have been written by someone else. Not this volume. Kuruvilla demonstrates how to discern the theology of the pericope and how that theology governs the sermon. This book is not for the lazy. It takes seriously the price preachers must pay to prepare, but it will richly reward those who learn from its precepts and examples.” —Greg R. Scharf, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (emeritus) “In the multitude of books on preaching, Kuruvilla’s book will prove to be of more value than most, whether for novice or experienced preachers.

Paul’s Idea of Community Spirit and Culture in Early House Churches, 3rd ed. Robert J. Banks This highly readable investigation of the early church explores the revo- lutionary nature, dynamics, and effects of the earliest Christian communities. It introduces readers to the cultural setting of the house churches of biblical times, examines the apostle Paul’s vision of life in the Christian church, and explores how the New Testament model of community applies to Christian practice today. Updated and revised throughout, this fortieth-anniversary edition incorporates recent research, updates the bibliography, and adds a new fictional narrative that depicts the life and times of the early church.

PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS EDITIONS “The book draws fully upon the wealth of recent scholarly analysis of the New Testament churches, but in such a skilled way that the picture is not buried in learning but brought to life for present-day readers. . . . People will be startled to find how much of modern church life has departed from the New Testament spirit. And yet the modern communities still possess in the New Testament, as illuminated through a book like this, the sources from which church life can be reawakened to the community consequences of accepting the Pauline gospel.”—Edwin A.

The Pastor as Public Theologian Reclaiming a Lost Vision Kevin J. Vanhoozer and Owen Strachan NOW IN PAPER “This is a timely, more than timely—urgent—book. Kevin Vanhoozer, one of our leading theologians, protests the ‘putting asunder’ of theology by American pastors. A ‘great chasm’ has opened up as pastors, more often than not, abandon their vocations as theologians in their congregations for careers in which the secular culture calls all the shots. It was not always this way. Vanhoozer and Strachan skillfully fashion insight and discernment to bring us back to what the church ordained us to do.”—†Eugene H. Peterson, Regent College, Vancouver (emeritus) “Preachers today must present biblical truth to people who are more and more resistant to it. I’ve come to the conclusion that ministers need more robust theological education and training than they did when I came into the ministry forty years ago. This book is an important, ringing call for working pastors and preachers to exercise a higher level of theologically informed leadership in our churches.”—Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City “There’s not much wrong with the practice of pastoral ministry that can’t be cured by a good dose of theological refurbishment. This book gives strong impetus for construing the work of the pastor as authorized, energized, and sanctified by the pastor’s theological commitments. A spirited, Spirit-filled book.”—William Willimon, Duke Divinity School; retired bishop, United Methodist Church

The Leader’s Journey Accepting the Call to Personal and Congregational Transformation, 2nd ed. Jim Herrington, Trisha Taylor, and R. Robert Creech This book helps pastors and church leaders understand the role their personal transformation as Jesus’s disciples plays in effective congregational leadership. It shifts the focus of leadership from techniques and charisma to spiritual transformation and developing emotional maturity so leaders can effectively lead congregations to embrace change. End-of- chapter discussion questions are included. Regularly used as a textbook over the past fifteen years, this new edition has been revised throughout and includes a greater emphasis on Bowen Family Systems Theory.

EXCERPT In this book, we write about living systems: a different way of thinking about leadership that we have been learning in recent years. This perspective has changed how we see our role as leaders. Most leadership- development processes focus on “leadership techniques”—essentially a bag of tricks for the leader to use on those they lead. We are learning to go in another direction. We understand that as leaders we are part of a living human system of engagement and relationship, and we must learn to become aware of these systems and navigate them wisely. We focus on managing ourselves rather than managing others.

The Pastor in a Secular Age Ministry to People Who No Longer Need a God Andrew Root MINISTRY IN A SECULAR AGE “We are embedded in and pervaded by what Charles Taylor called a ‘secular age.’ The implications of Taylor’s analysis of secularity are enormous, but few have taken up the challenge to look through Taylor at ministry in our world. Andrew Root has, and he has done so success- fully and spectacularly. We need to take up the challenge with Root, listen to him, and extend his insights into our local churches.”—Scot McKnight, Northern Seminary “This book is a must-read for anyone preparing for pastoral ministry or currently in ministry. Highly readable, it seeks to reclaim a pastoral identity that is rooted in the divine action of a ministering God. Building on the work of Charles Taylor, Root first lays out the historical evolution of the current hollowing out of pastoral identity through an excellent exploration of six pastors from Augustine to Rick Warren. Then, turning to Foucault, Jenson, and Old Testament texts, Root boldly asserts the identity of God as one who ministers to his people. Root encourages pastors to reclaim an identity based on their participation in God’s acts of ministry.”—Annette Brownlee, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto “Good books help you see what you couldn’t see before—like why pastoring is so difficult.

More and more our lives and identities are being worked out in digital spaces that are always on. So we are asked to be always on, performing and reforming our identities, seeking likes and retweets to confirm our being. What does this mean for formation into the life and death of Jesus Christ? What does it mean for the pastoral task of building community? Gorrell takes up the challenge in Always On. This is an exciting, deep, and well-written project that promises to get you thinking.

Gospel Allegiance What Faith in Jesus Misses for Salvation in Christ Matthew W. Bates Is faith in Jesus enough for salvation? Perhaps, says Matthew Bates, but we’re missing pieces of the gospel. The biblical gospel can never change. Yet our understanding of the gospel must change. The church needs an allegiance shift. Popular pastoral resources on the gospel are causing widespread confusion. Bates shows that the biblical gospel is different, fuller, and more beautiful than we have been led to believe. He explains that saving faith doesn’t come through trust in Jesus’s death on the cross alone but through allegiance to Christ the king. There is only one true gospel and one required response: allegiance. Bates ignited conversation with his influential bookSalvation by Allegiance Alone. Here he goes deeper while making his acclaimed teaching on salvation more accessible and experiential for believers who want to better understand and share the gospel. Gospel Allegiance includes a guide for further conversation, making it ideal for students, church groups, pastors, and leaders.

Our Bodies Tell God’s Story Discovering the Divine Plan for Love, Sex, and Gender Christopher West Foreword by Eric Metaxas In response to a world awash in sexual chaos and gender confusion, this book offers a bold and thoroughly biblical look at the meaning of the body, sex, gender, and marriage. Bestselling author, cultural commentator, and popular theologian Christopher West is one of the world’s most recognized teachers of John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. He specializes in making this teaching accessible to all Christians, with particular attention to evangelicals. In our post-sexual-revolution world, we need to remember that our bodies tell a divine story and proclaim the gospel itself. As male and female, and in the call to become “one flesh,” our bodies reveal a “great mystery” that mirrors Christ’s love for the church (Eph. 5:31–32). This book provides a redemptive rather than repressive approach to sexual purity, explores the true meaning of sex and marriage, and offers a compelling vision of what it means to be created male and female.

Narrative Apologetics Sharing the Relevance, Joy, and Wonder of the Christian Faith Alister E. McGrath The Bible is a narrative—the story of God’s creation, humankind’s fall, and God’s plan of redemption. And it is filled with countless smaller stories that teach us about people, history, and the nature of God. It’s no surprise that God would choose to reveal himself to us in story—after all, he hardwired us for story. Despite this, we so often attempt to share our faith with others not through story but through systems, arguments, and talking points—methods that appeal only to our mind and neglect our imagination and our emotions. In this groundbreaking book, scholar and author Alister McGrath lays a foundation for narrative apologetics. Exploring four major biblical narratives, enduring stories from our culture such as Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, and personal narratives from people such as Augustine of Hippo and Chuck Colson, McGrath shows how we can both understand and share our faith in terms of story.

Seven Transforming Gifts of Menopause An Unexpected Spiritual Journey Cheryl Bridges Johns Menopause is a dramatic but largely overlooked developmental window to the second half of life. Although today’s women are more aware of and actively involved in mapping their menopausal journey than generations before, many still do not see menopause as a time of important psychological and spiritual transformation. This book goes far beyond hot flashes and gets to the very heart of the mid-life journey, helping women find their unique voice and speak their truth in an era of #MeToo and #ChurchToo. Coming alongside readers as a wise spiritual guide, pastor, and theologian, Cheryl Bridges Johns identifies seven key developmental “tasks” of menopause and gives practical ways women can embrace each one. She encourages women to view these tasks as gifts as they experience the remarkable physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation that occurs in this stage of life. Written in a warm and conversational tone, this book helps women chart a course for the future, leading them to a renewed sense of identity, a more focused vision for life, and a deeper spirituality.
