Just Peacemaking : Transforming Initiatives For Justice And Peace
$50.00Glen Stassen believes Christians should direct their energies toward finding a set of criteria and a model for a “just peace” instead of “just war.” He bases his just peace theory on the new reality of our world, on recent biblical interpretation, and on the experiences of people who lived in the face of oppression and nuclear threat, and who – together with political scientists, Christian ethicists, and activists – fashioned realistic steps of peacemaking. He addresses real-life issues and especially uses the Sermon on the Mount and the book of Romans as models for establishing just peace in the face of conflict.

Earthkeeping In The 90s A Print On Demand Title
$39.99Ever since its original publication over a decade ago, Earthkeeping has presented a thought-provoking, biblically based call for responsible stewardship. In view of the continuing environmental crisis worldside and in light of the increased ecological awareness in recent years, the book’s message regarding “earthkeeping” is now more pertinent than ever.
This greatly revised and augmented edition of Earthkeeping updates the original edition while retaining the same breadth of perspective, reflecting the combined insights of Christian scholars in biology, physics, economics, literature, and philosophy. The book begins by laying out, with scientific precision, the state of the planet. Several chapters then carefully examine various historical and contemporary views of creation. Next the authors survey biblical and theological teaching relative to humanity’s use of creation. The book concludes by offering helpful, practical guidelines for an earthkeeping ethic.
Besides providing an updated “state of the planet” analysis, this revised edition of Earthkeeping deals with recent cultural and religious developments, incorporating new material, for example, on the “Deep Ecology” and “new age” movements, the Gaia hypothesis, and ecofeminism. This edition also takes into account the recent wealth of Christian thinking about the earth, including the recovery of important but neglected voices from the Christian tradition, such as Hildegard of Bingen and Celtic spirituality. At the end of the book, an expanded and updated annotated bibliography, organized according to subject area, and new indexes (of names and subjects and of Scripture references) enhance the value of Earthkeeping as a significant resource fostering better human stewardship of God’s creation.

8. The Search For God
9. Ministry Practice And Practical TheologyAdditional Info
Pastoral care instruction and observation from a therapist of survivors of sexual abuse.“The Abuse of Power is ‘must’ reading for clergy and denominational officials…. Weaving case stories with theory, Poling demonstrates that sexual abuse of children is not a private matter, but very much a matter for society and church–a question of structure and ideology, not just of individual character. He is not afraid to tackle the tough question: Does the image of God sacrificing Jesus on the cross contribute to abusive parent-child relationships?…If pastors and church officials read this book the church will change.” –Karen Lebacqz, Pacific School of Religion
“For the exploitation of women and children to stop, men must be willing to break ranks with all forms of privilege that sanction male dominance. James Poling does so by deconstructing his own sense of male entitlement, by refusing to distance himself from perpetrators, by allowing survivors of sexual and domestic violence to speak with their own voices, by giving us profound words of hope, and by articulating a powerfully healing theology wrought through the depths of his own struggle with one of the worst evils in our society. His courageous and compassionate work reveals the love and hope that is born of solidarity across the boundaries of gender, sexual orientation, race, and economics….The psychological, political, spiritual, and theological power of this book is such that all educators, ministers, therapists, and Christians must read it.” –Rita Nakashima Brock, Hamline University

Homilies On The Gospels Book 2 Lent To The Dedication Of The Church
$39.95‘I have spent all my life in this monastery’, wrote Bede from his isolated Northumbrian cell, ‘applying myself entirely to the study of the Scriptures…I have made it my business, for my own benefit and that of my brothers, to make brief extracts from the works of the venerable fathers on the holy Scripture, or to add notes of my own to clarify their sense and interpretation.’
From the eighth to the fifteenth centuries, Bede’s authority as a scriptural exegete was second only to that of the Doctors of the Latin Church. His influence was enormous. Yet modern readers associate this remarkable scholar-monk only with his History of the English Church and Nation and ignore the works he saw as his chief accomplishment.

Enigma Of Faith
$21.95Women have lived the cistercian life almost as long as have men. Cistercian abbots founded some houses of nuns, the General Chapter authorized some, while trying to stem the tide. Most ‘cistercian’ communities of women adopted the habit and the usages of the White Monks without being juridically incorporated into the Order. These fascinating studies trace cistercian nuns from their twelfth-century beginnings to the modern day.

New Life In Christ (Student/Study Guide)

The apostle Paul tells us: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” Yet our new life in Christ is much more than what we experience at conversion. Just as a child is filled with awe and wonder at seeing snow for the first time or catching his first fish, so we must become alert to seeing all that God has given us in Christ. This study guide helps you grasp the hope, the riches, and the great power God has given us through his Son.

Truth To Tell A Print On Demand Title
$17.99An important book for all who are concerned with the impact of Christianity on today’s world, Truth to Tell affirms the gospel as the truth – not only for personal life but also for life at the public, societal level.
In emphasizing the Christian gospel as the truth that calls for radical conversion, Lesslie Newbigin runs counter to the prevailing subjectivism and skepticism in our society regarding the possibility of knowing ultimate truth. Societies like ours that have undergone “modernization” tend to regard the world’s religions as agencies for the cultivation of privately held religious opinions – agencies that can be studied with the tools of sociology, psychology, and other secular disciplines.
But, says Newbigin, the Christian church is not simply an agency that stands for good personal values. In three pointed chapters – “Believing and Knowing the Truth,” “Affirming the Truth in the Church,” and “Speaking the Truth to Caesar” – Newbigin develops the argument that the Christian gospel is a statement of objective, historical truth, and all other modes of thought are to be evaluated in the light of the gospel truth.
Directed especially to ministers and concerned laypeople, Truth to Tell consists of the Osterhaven lectures delivered by Newbigin at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan.

Religion And The Rise Of Western Culture
$19.00n this new edition of his classic work, Religion and the Rise of Western Culture, Christopher Dawson addresses two of the most pressing subjects of our day: the origin of Europe and the religious roots of Western culture. With the magisterial sweep of Toynbee, to whom he is often compared, Dawson tells here the tale of medieval Christendom. From the brave travels of sixth-century Irish monks to the grand synthesis of Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century, Dawson brilliantly shows how vast spiritual movements arose from tiny origins and changed the face of medieval Europe from one century to the next. The legacy of those years of ferment remains with us in the great cathedrals, Gregorian chant, and the works of Giotto and Dante. Even more, though, for Dawson these centuries charged the soul of the West with a spiritual concern — a concern that he insists “can never be entirely undone except by the total negation or destruction of Western man himself.”

Yearning To Know Gods Will (Workbook)
$17.99A desire to know the will of God is, as it should be, the top priority of any serious Christian. But how are you to find out what God’s will is? Who hasn’t agonized, questioned, and then doubted and questioned again? But here is Danny Morris to the rescue with an eight-week workbook on knowing God’s will. Each weeks’ exercise begins with an account of a personal experience of the author from which he brings forth biblical, theological, and historical principles to help you in your search. As you respond, God’s will is certain to become clearer. During the first five weeks, you will learn about the nature of spiritual discernment, discernment for the individual, spiritual intuition, ways in which God communicates with believers, and discernment as a spiritual gift. In the second part, the author shifts his focus to corporate discernment; that is, discernment within and for the church, the body of Christ. At issue here is consensus: how consensus is possible, why it is difficult, and how it works in church boards and committees. Danny Morris insists that consensus is not only biblical but practical, despite skepticism on the part of those whose experience would lead them to believe that disagreement is a way of life in church. Some maintain that consensus would never work in their congregation. But the author points the way to diminish and eventually eliminate such conflict. The third part of the workbook details a workable plan for church retreat, a time away from phones and schedules, where your group will learn how to make decisions by consensus, by group discernment of the will of God for the congregation. What better way to help move forward the work of God?
