The Lord of the Psalms Patrick D. Miller Paperback • 9780664239275 • 178 pages • $25.00 THE LORD OF THE PSALMS “So it is that whether in prayer or in song, in loneliness and isolation, or in community and worship, the Psalms bear constant testimony to the Lord of Israel and in so doing tell us in full measure who and what this God is.

He tackles over a dozen of the most beloved psalms that explore themes of God’s existence; creation and redemption; praise and thanksgiving; and grace, mercy, and justice.

Truth Speaks to Power The Countercultural Nature of Scripture Walter Brueggemann Paperback • 9780664239145 • 112 pages • $13.00

“Brueggemann’s genius is to introduce us into a biblical terrain that is complex and gnarly, constituted by layer on layer of contested story. But for him the bedrock of that ground is the twofold conviction that God is not reducible to human power agendas and that the neighbor is made in the image of God. When we read and hear Scripture with attention, even the difficulties—the contradictions, about-faces, violence, and maddening silences— will lead us eventually to that truth.” —from the foreword by Bishop Thomas E. Breidenthal

World-renowned biblical interpreter Walter Brueggemann invites readers to take a closer look at the subversive messages found within the Old Testament. Brueggemann asserts that the Bible presents a “sustained contestation” over truth, in which established institutions of power do not always prevail. But this is not always obvious at first glance. A closer look reveals that the text actually contradicts the apparent meaning of an innocent, face-value reading. Brueggemann invites the reader into this thick complexity of the textual reading, where the authority of Also of Interest power is undermined in cunning and compelling ways. He insists that we are—as readers and interpreters—always contestants for Sabbath as Resistance truth, whether we recognize ourselves as such or not.

Moreover, he has touched almost all of the important bases and has dealt with significant figures, issues, movements in an incisive and illuminating manner.

I predict it will be widely used not only in college and seminaries, but also in lay institutes and study groups.” —The Christian Century, reviewed by John D. Godsey (for the first edition)

Kelsey, Emeritus, Yale Divinity School

The book of Job, an enigmatic but powerful book in the Old Testament canon, raises universal questions about suffering and God’s relationship to both the cause of anguish and those who endure it. The ideas and questions of theodicy, divine justice, and divine power that arise and challenge Job’s life still resonate with our lives today. Chase’s commentary in the Belief series not only wrestles with the issues raised by the text, but it also probes the depths of spiritual theology in the book of Job.

Steven Chase is Studium Scholar at Saint Benedict’s Monastery in St. Joseph, Minnesota. He has taught at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan, and is the former President of the Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality.

Moral Man and Immoral Society A Study in Ethics and Politics Reinhold Niebuhr With a New Foreword by Cornel West Paperback • 9780664235390 • 320 pages • $30.00

“Reinhold Niebuhr was the greatest religious intellectual in mid- twentieth century America. In terms of volcanic energy, talent, and discipline, Niebuhr’s genius was incomparable.” —Cornel West, from the foreword

Arguably his most famous book, Moral Man and Immoral Society is Reinhold Niebuhr’s important early study (1932) in ethics and politics. Widely read and continually relevant, this book marked Niebuhr’s decisive break from progressive religion and politics toward a more deeply tragic view of human nature and history. Forthright and realistic, Moral Man and Immoral Society argues that individual morality is intrinsically incompatible with collective life, thus making social and political conflict inevitable. Niebuhr further discusses our inability to imagine the realities of collective power; the brutal behavior of human collectives of every sort; and, ultimately, how individual morality can mitigate the persistence of social immorality.

His book is especially timely in a world where religion, including much of what passes for Christianity, colludes with violent and destructive powers.” —Thomas H. Troeger, Yale Divinity School & Institute of Sacred Music

“Invasion of the Dead takes up the Book of Revelation, the letters of Paul, and the Gospel of Mark and weaves a provocative conversation with both secular culture and the dispirited culture of American Christianity. The result is genuinely apocalyptic proclamation—a word that is convicting, energizing, and profoundly hopeful. This goes on the required reading list!” —Beverly Roberts Gaventa, Baylor University
