Cafe Theology Exploring Love, the Universe and Everything Michael Lloyd ‘If theology doesn’t stretch our minds, it probably won’t stretch our lives.’ In Cafe Theology, Mike Lloyd invites us to grab a cappuccino and travel with him from Creation to New Creation. He presents a rich and human view of life and of the Life-Giver using the deep diversity of Christian traditions, poetry, comedy, paintings, novels, cartoons, philosophy and films. Whether you‘ve been on the Christian journey your whole life, just starting out or haven’t even bought a ticket, this extraordinary book is applicable. The title Cafe Theology was chosen for two reasons. First, it implies that the book is accessible. The word ‘theology’ makes people think ‘dry, dusty, academic, irrelevant, and incomprehensible’, whereas the word ‘cafe’ makes people think ‘warm, relaxed, fun – like having a chat with a friend’. Secondly, it implies the sort of theology that values the ordinary pleasures of life.

Mike believes that this is radically wrong and he presents a view of life ENGAGE PRICE that opens up more dimensions for us to live in – not fewer. £5.25 So if you are looking for a fun way into theology this book could be the one you’ve been looking for!

Study Starters The Lord’s Prayer The Greatest Prayer in the World (New Revised Edition) Peter Lewis Using the example of the Lord’s Prayer, Peter Lewis shows how an intimate relationship with God is a reality that can be experienced today. Down the centuries and around the world The Lord’s Prayer has been used to express the deepest longings of all true Christians. However, this prayer that Jesus taught his followers reveals something far greater, the character and purposes of God himself. In this sensitive and often moving book, Peter Lewis shows how an intimate relationship with God is a reality that can be experienced today. RRP £9.99 / PB / 9781842276013 / 288 Pages / Paternoster
The cover of this book features a modern ‘cityscape’ at night with its cluster of skyscrapers. And prayer too is a kind of skyscraper. It quite literally reaches beyond the skies – and gets there! It rises above the landscape while still being firmly grounded in it. It helps us to see the scene from a different perspective and enables us to respond to the needs around us with more perception and wisdom and effectiveness than we would otherwise have. Prayer in today’s world is an engaged relevance, not an engaging irrelevance. This is a book about a great prayer and the truths which are the firm foundation of all prayer. It is not about prayer in general (nor is reading it praying!). Yet it may be an elevator in the building of a prayer-life which will help the reader to gain new heights as he or she prays to our Father in heaven. Peter Lewis

Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Mormonism, and the Jehovah’s Witnesses are covered in this volume.

The Dawkins Delusion? Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine Alister McGrath – £7.99 / PB / 9780281059270 / 96 Pages
World-renowned scientist Richard Dawkins writes in The God Delusion: ‘If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down.’ The volume has received wide coverage, fuelled much passionate debate and caused not a little confusion. Alister McGrath is ideally placed to evaluate Dawkins’ ideas. Once an atheist himself, he gained a doctorate in molecular biophysics before going on to become a leading Christian theologian. He wonders how two people, who have reflected at length on substantially the same world, could possibly have come to such different conclusions about God. McGrath subjects Dawkins’ critique of faith to rigorous scrutiny. His exhilarating, meticulously argued response deals with questions such as: • Is faith intellectual nonsense? • Are science and religion locked in a battle to the death? • Can the roots of Christianity be explained away scientifically? • Is Christianity simply a force for evil? This book is a must for those looking for a reliable assessment of The God Delusion and the many questions it raises – including, above all, the relevance of faith and the quest for meaning.

Current Issues Micah’s Challenge The Church’s Responsibility to the Global Poor Foreword by The Prime Minister the Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP. Endorsed by David Cameron MP Leader of the Conservative Party and Nick Clegg MP Leader of the Liberal Democrats Hoek & Thacker Micah’s Challenge is a global Christian campaign. Its aims are to deepen engagement with impoverished and marginalised communities and to challenge international leaders, and leaders of rich and poor countries, to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, and so halve absolute global poverty by 2015! The name of the organisation is taken from Micah 6:8 ‘He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.’ This is Micah’s challenge to Israel in his day and to the Church in our day. God called the people of Israel to act with justice, mercy and humility in their dealings with the poor. A call that is just as relevant for his people today. This book pulls together prophetic voices from Jim Wallis to Tony Campolo and from Ronald Sider to Ren Padilla and Joel Edwards to explore the theological, ethical and practical dimensions of Micah’s challenge. The heart of the book is an exploration of ‘acting justly’, ‘walking humbly’, and ‘loving mercy’. That call is set within a broader biblical and theological framework and followed by reflections on how we might live it out today. Micah’s Challenge offers a passionate, biblical, and challenging call to think afresh and to act redemptively as individuals and as Christian communities.

After McDonaldization John Drane The decline in church attendance continues across Europe, yet increasing numbers of people are turning to ‘spirituality’. These changes are occurring as part of the continuing impact of globalisation and consumerism on society along with a developing culture of fear and a new search for truth following 9/11 and world reaction to this event. In this sequel to the best selling The McDonaldization of the Church. John Drane considers what must come next for the Church. He presents the case for a more ‘practical theology’, a reinvigorated style of ministry and the restatement of classic Christian beliefs for the 21st Century; not just as ‘things to believe’ but as ‘values’ to live by.

Current Issues The Day is Yours Slow Spirituality in a Fast Moving World Ian Stackhouse The Day is Yours is a protest against the culture of speed both in the culture at large, but also, more ominously, in the church itself. Rooted in the monastic liturgy of the hours, Ian Stackhouse argues that in order for Christians to act as a truly prophetic witness, in a time of cultural decadence, they must recover a more biblical rhythm in which work, rest, relationships, worship and prayer are held together in creative tension. The central thrust of The Day is Yours is that living one day at a time with gratitude and contentedness is vital, lest the church capitulates to the distractedness of modern life.

It is very trendy in these days to name a child after the place where he or she was conceived. And since creating a book is about as close as a man is going to get to being pregnant, then I guess I ought to call this book ‘Paris’; for it was there, in the course of the evening and morning offices at the church of St Gervais, that the idea of a book exploring the spirituality of the day was conceived. …St Gervais became for me a parable of the kind of rhythm and contemplation that I believe the Holy Spirit wants to establish in our own communities. Since that time….the rhythm of evening and morning, has never left me. It is the ground of what I understand to be the worshipping life of the church and, as such, brackets what I offer here as a spirituality of the day. Ian Stackhouse
The Crescent Through the Eyes of the Cross Nabeel Jabbour “A war is raging for the minds and souls of Muslims today,” writes Nabeel Jabbour. “The eternal welfare of 1.4 billion people is at stake. They are being pulled in two directions—fanaticism on the one hand and moderation and open- mindedness on the other. How we deal with this window of opportunity will determine our relations with Muslims for generations to come.” At the same time, the Christian church must realize Jesus died for Muslims. In this book, Dr. Jabbour aims to help Western Christians go beyond mere tolerance to a passion for Muslims. He explains how that can be done in ways that are sensitive to Islamic culture, and he presents suggestions on how to build vital relationships with Muslims.

With no overarching authority to rein in ‘wayward’ thought, opposing sides on controversial issues appeal to the same text, yet interpret it in very different ways.

Gorman also offers a distinctive interpretation of justification by faith as participation in Christ.

This book.. is a guide to reading Paul. As such it is not a traditional ‘introduction,’ though it touches on many subjects covered in such works….after this preliminary chapter, there are three chapters on Paul, his letters, and his gospel. The book is then organised around eight themes (In the Fullness of Time; The Gospel of God; Even Death on the Cross; God Raised and Highly Exalted Him; Justified by Faith; Crucified with Christ; Called to be Saints; Conformed to the Image of God’s Son and the Glory About to be Revealed) that lie behind his letters, Understanding these essential themes will allow the reader to hear them as they echo throughout the letters and, I trust, to be caught up in them as the living and active word of God.

College Study Leading by Example Peter’s Way for the Church Today Graham Houston Leading by Example explores the practical theology of 1 Peter with particular reference to Christian leadership. Graham Houston critiques the trend in recent books to relate contemporary management theories to church leadership. He explores 1 Peter’s expose of the problem of authoritarianism (‘lording it‘) in the early church, and its development of an alternative model of servant leadership. Houston blends insights from current New Testament scholarship, sociology, theology, psychology and from years of Christian ministry to allow the ancient biblical text to address our current situations afresh. He challenges us to look away from apparent western success stories for examples to follow, and rather to look to the apparent fringes of God’s work in today’s two- thirds world. Leading by Example is essential reading for any who want to see how the biblical text can help Christian leaders serve the purposes of God in a more Christ-like and radical way.

Word Biblical Commentary 18A Job 21-37 David J.A. Clines The book of Job has been hailed as a literary masterpiece. Yet it poses one of the most difficult literary problems in the Old Testament: how to understand the order of speeches and speakers from chapters 26 through to 37? Professor Clines addresses the problem directly with a sweeping proposal. He argues that chapter 26 continues Bildad’s speech from the previous chapter. Job’s ninth speech is shorter than usually recognised, only 27:1-6, 11-12. Clines finds Zophar’s missing third speech in 27:7-10, 13-17; 24:18-24; and 27:18-23, thus completing the last cycle of speeches by the three friends. Finally, he solves the mystery of the wisdom poem in chapter 28 by crediting it to Elihu and showing that it should follow Elihu’s other four speeches (chaps.32-37) as their climax. This new reconstruction allows Job’s final speeches (29:1-31:40) to end the cycle and lead into God’s response (chaps 38-41). The commentary is presented in this new order to help the reader follow this new structure for the book. Clines guides readers through the intricacies of Job’s language and the book’s theology. He concisely summarises the views of other commentators, but also notes the choices that readers must make in order to evaluate Job’s honesty and judge the character of one of the most vivid personalities in biblical literature.

Faith’s Reasons for Believing An Apologetic Antidote to Mindless Christianity Robert Reymond Using extensive Biblical references, Reymond takes us on a comprehensive tour of why it is possible for belief to exist as a result of knowledge in the Christian faith. He gives us both reasons for believing in key aspects of the Christian faith and a defence of the presuppositional apologetic method. Writing from a Reformed position, Raymond urges Christians to think as Christians, to learn how to do this and to not think in any other way. “Militant atheistic writers are making an all-out assault on the Christian faith today – they speak of ours as a ‘mindless Christianity’ – and as a result many people today, including scientists and many poorly taught Christians, would think it very strange to talk about faith’s reasons for believing, for if there is one thing SAVE £2 not understood today about biblical faith it is that it eschews any and all anti- ENGAGE PRICE intellectual, fidelistic ‘leaps of faith’ and is grounded in the knowledge of £9.99 propositional truths about Jesus Christ.” RRP £11.99 / PB / 9781845503376 / 480 Pages / Christian Focus Publications

God, Gays and the Church Nolland, Sugden & Finch Compassionate and robust, the essays in this volume provide a response to the claim that the life experiences of gay people undermine the credibility of biblical sexual ethics. In contemporary discussions about sexuality, great prominence is given to personal stories from gay people. This emphasis can also be seen in recent Christian debates. But it is a one-sided testimony, and this book is intended to redress the balance and to advance the discussion. In addition to personal stories from a different perspective, this book contains accessible informed contributions from experts in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy, genetics, biblical and pastoral theology, social ethics and cultural analysis. Chapters include: • Pastoral Considerations for Homosexuality • Post-Gay: The Transforming Power of God • Post-Lesbian: My Testimony • Same Sex Attraction. Is it innate and immutable? • A Faithful Church: The Bible and Same-Sex Sex • Civil Partnerships: Advice to UK Parishes and Clergy • Unexpected Consequences: The Sexualisation of Youth Expert contributions include chapters by Professor Joseph Nicolosi, former President of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, and Professor Robert A. J. Gagnon, author of The Bible and Homosexual Practice. This compilation provides a resource for those concerned more broadly with issues of human sexuality and for those who struggle with same-sex issues, whether from a pastoral or a personal point of view.

Cornerstone Biblical Commentaries BUY 1 GET 1 HALF PRICE
The Cornerstone commentary on Matthew and Mark provides a good introduction to the study of the gospels. The commentary is clearly set out, making it easy to find the required information and it reads well. The commentators discuss the key issues in a way that makes them accessible to the non-specialist. Karen Fulton, Belfast Bible College
The Jeremiah and Lamentations commentary represents a valuable resource for those who want a succinct exegetical assistant for the preparation of sermons – I heartedly recommend it for this purpose. IS: Dr Ted Herbert, Vice Principal, ICC Glasgow
