Wesley And Anglicans
$30.99Why did the Wesleyan Methodists and the Anglican evangelicals divide during the middle third of the eighteenth century? Many would argue that the division between was based narrowly on theological matters, especially predestination and perfection. Danker suggests, however, that politics was a major factor throughout driving the Wesleyan Methodists and Anglican evangelicals apart. Methodism was perceived to be linked with the radical and seditious politics of the Cromwellian period. This was a charged claim in a post-Restoration England. Likewise he explores the political force of resurgent Tory influence under George III which exerted more pressure on evangelicals to prove their loyalty to the Establishment. These political realities made it hard for evangelicals in the Church of England to cooperate with Wesley and meant that all their theological debates were politically infected. Rich in detail, this book traces the personalities involved along with the relative importance of canon law (“regularity”), public criticism and episcopal censure, parochial boundaries, lay ordination and sacramental administration, and alternative theological visions related to the Church of England. Here is a book for all who seek deeper insight into a critical juncture in the development of evangelicalism and early Methodism.

In this book, Freya Huffman will awaken you to the importance of voting and why God should be involved your vote.

MacClinton
$29.99“When a citizen gives his suffrage [vote] to a man of known immorality, he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country.” (Noah Webster) Although Webster wrote this statement almost two hundred years ago, it is good advice for us today. MacClinton illustrates this warning as it recounts Bill and Hillary’s immorality, scandals, and cover-ups in an entertaining and enlightening way. From the opening scene with the three *itches meeting Bill MacClinton to the closing scene of George W. Bush’s presidential election victory, you’ll view Bill’s political career and Hillary’s cover-ups for her political ambition in a new light. The preponderance of evidence against the Clintons as fit leaders of America should motivate you to investigate political candidates more closely before voting for anyone who will betray the interest of our country.

Grumpy Old Party
$11.95As a term of praise for having won the Civil War and having kept the nation together, the Republicans were dubbed the Grand Old Party or GOP. In their century-and-a-half of history, they elected more presidents than any other party. After losing the popular vote in the 2000 presidential election, eking out a tough win in 2004, and losing in 2008 and particularly in 2012 to an incumbent on whose watch a listless economy couldn’t push unemployment much below 8 percent, the attitude of the Republican Party turned sour and negative. GOP might as well had stood for Grumpy Old Party. But all is not lost. In Grumpy Old Party, author Constantinos Scaros identifies 20 tips that will help the party move beyond recent losses, reclaim their respectability, and win.

Field Hospital : The Churchs Engagement With A Wounded World
$27.99Compelling social perspectives from a prominent Catholic scholar
Pope Francis in a 2013 interview famously likened the church to a field hospital. In this book William Cavanaugh adopts Pope Francis’s metaphor to show how the church can help heal both the spiritual and the material wounds of the world.
As he examines the intersection of theology with themes of religious freedom, economic injustice, religious violence, and other pressing topics, Cavanaugh emphasizes that the church cannot condemn the evils of the world from a position of superiority. Rather, he says, its practices of solidarity with humanity must be based on a profound recognition that the church shares in the guilt of human sin.
Cavanaugh’s Field Hospital provides guideposts for a church that is willing to go outside of itself onto today’s battlefields – both metaphorical and literal – not to inflict wounds but to bind them up and heal them.

Undemocratic Rogue Reckless And Renegade Updated
$16.99Jay Sekulow one of America s most influential attorneys explores a post Obama landscape where bureaucracy has taken over our government and provides a practical roadmap to help take back our personal liberties.
Jay Sekulow is on a mission to defend Americans freedom.
The fact is that freedom is under attack like never before. The threat comes from the fourth branch of government the biggest branch and the only branch not in the Constitution: the federal bureaucracy. The bureaucracy imposes thousands of new laws every year, without a single vote from Congress. The bureaucracy violates the rights of Americans without accountability persecuting adoptive parents, denying veterans quality healthcare, discriminating against conservatives and Christians for partisan purposes, and damaging our economy with job-killing rules.Americans are bullied by the very institutions established to protect their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Our nation s bureaucrats are on an undemocratic power trip.But Sekulow has a plan to fight back. We can resist illegal abuse, we can reform a broken system, and we can restore American democracy. This book won t just tell you how to win, it will show you real victories achieved by Sekulow and the American Center for Law and Justice.
Unless we can roll back the fourth branch of government the most dangerous branch our elections will no longer matter. Undemocratic is a wake-up call, a call made at just the right time before it s too late to save the democracy we love.”

Legal Basis For A Moral Constitution
$26.60America is in the midst of a cultural and constitutional law crisis that began more than sixty years ago and was further exacerbated by the 2015 Supreme Court same-sex marriage decision. How did we become a culture that lacks objective morality and embraces secular ideas, hinging on the majority whim of nine justices? How do we get back to being a biblically moral, upright society and recognizing the U.S. Constitution as supreme law of the land?
In The Legal Basis for a Moral Constitution, Jenna Ellis makes a compelling case for the true roots of America’s Founding Documents in objective morality and how our system of government is founded upon the Christian worldview and God’s unchanging law, not a secular humanist worldview. She provides a unique perspective of the Founding Fathers as lawyers and how they understood the legitimate authority of biblical truth and appealed directly to God’s law for the foundation of America.
Weaving together the legal history and underpinning worldview shifts in American culture, Ellis advocates how Christians must change the basic reasoning of our appeal and effectively engage our culture. Finally, she proposes the solution to reclaim objective, biblical morality in law that the Founders themselves provided for through Article V of the U.S. Constitution.
This book is for every Christian who seeks to understand the times and our constitutional and cultural crisis.

5 Views On The Church And Politics
$24.98Few topics can grab headlines and stir passions quite like politics, especially when the church is involved.

Readers will find themselves equipped to think more deeply about the relationship between church and state in a way that goes beyond mere policy debates and current campaigns.

*Lutheran (Two Kingdom)-Robert Benne
*Catholic (In Tension)-J. Brian Benestad
*Reformed (Integrationist)-James K. A. Smith
*Black Church (Prophetic)-Bruce FieldsEach author addresses his tradition’s theological distinctives, the role of government, the place of individual Christian participation in government and politics, and how churches should (or should not) address political questions. Responses by each contributor to opposing views will highlight key areas of difference and disagreement. Thorough and even-handed, Five Views on the Church and Politics will enable readers to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the most significant Christian views on political engagement and to draw their own, informed conclusions.

American Exceptionalism And Civil Religion

2. Expansion, Slavery And Two American Exceptionalisms
3. The Chosen Nation
4. The Commissioned Nation
5. The Innocent Nation
6. The Nation And Her Land
7. The Glorious Nation
8. Open Exceptionalism And Civic Engagement
IndexAdditional Info
Ever since John Winthrop told his fellow colonists in 1630 that they were about to establish a City upon a Hill, the idea of having a special place in history has captured the American imagination. Through centuries of crises and opportunities, many have taken up this theme to inspire the nation. But others have criticized the notion because it implies a sense of superiority which can fuel racism, warmongering and even idolatry.In this remarkable book, John Wilsey traces the historical development of exceptionalism, including its theological meaning and implications for civil religion. From seventeenth-century Puritans to twentieth-century industrialists, from politicians to educators, exceptionalism does not appear as a monolithic concept to be either totally rejected or devotedly embraced. While it can lead to abuses, it can also point to constructive civil engagement and human flourishing. This book considers historically and theologically what makes the difference.
Neither the term nor the idea of American exceptionalism is going away. John Wilsey’s careful history and analysis will therefore prove an important touchstone for discussions of American identity in the decades to come.

Kings And Presidents
$13.99This book may not be the kind of thing you can discuss in polite company. How do we deal with it? What if a faithful approach to politics wasn’t simply about who was going to win the next election? How might our political hope change when we encounter a God who offers us a different kind of kingdom?
God isn’t asking the church to be politically uniformed, apathetic, or even bi-partisan. On the contrary. God is asking us to be faithful citizens of the kingdom-a kingdom of surprising hope where the majority of God’s work to save the world will be done.
In Kings and Presidents, authors Tim Gaines and Shawna Songer Gaines helps us recast our political hope by challenging the claim that history is written exclusively by the powerful. Through a careful study of 2 Kings, we will find that trusting in God’s faithfulness is plenty political, and it has real implications for our communities, the world, and the kind of political hope we can find in it all.

At The Altar Of Wall Street
$32.99In this thought-provoking book Scott Gustafson argues that economics performs the same function in contemporary American culture that religions did in past cultures. He describes and analyzes the rituals, pilgrimage sites, myths, prophets, reformers, sacraments, and mission of economics to show how the economy operates as our de facto “god.”
Understanding how economics functions as a religion is the first step in addressing many of today’s political and social problems, Gustafson says. Our inability to compromise on economic matters is much more intelligible when competing principles are understood as religious laws that cannot be violated.
At the Altar of Wall Street encompasses a broad sweep of history, philosophy, culture studies, economic ideas – and religion, of course – and offers insightful discussion of such topics as debt, economic terrorism, globalization, and money as the economy’s sacrament. Thoughtful readers will find plenty to chew on here.

Peace In Jerusalem But The Battle Is Not Over Yet
$18.95Olive Press Messianic (www.olivepresspublisher.com)
HERE IS A MIDDLE EAST PEACE PROCESS THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE POLITICIANS OR BUREAUCRATS! Amidst the ongoing turmoil of the Middle East, where virtual civil wars are erupting on every side, a remarkable peace process is taking place. Charles Gardner has witnessed Arab and Jew embracing one another in the name of the One who has bought such reconciliation with the blood he shed on a Roman cross outside Jerusalem 2,000 years ago. And he concludes that it is only through this ‘Prince of Peace’ that the seemingly intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be resolved. This book, written with the pace and skill you would expect from a seasoned professional with over 40 years of experience in journalism, tells some amazing stories of modern-day Muslims having supernatural encounters with the risen Jesus – yes, He’s still alive! But the former newspaper editor and one-time London correspondent for the South African Press Association also tackles major issues surrounding the Jewish state, both historically and currently, which he believes have been seriously blurred by a liberal media bowing to political correctness. He also challenges the Church – largely succumbing to a worldly rather than Biblical view of Israel – to return to its Hebraic roots. The Cape Town-born 65-year-old author grew up in South Africa before moving to the UK where he was introduced to British society by his half-Jewish grandmother. He soon raised her ire by becoming a committed Christian and attended All Souls Church in central London before moving north to Yorkshire where he worked at senior editorial level for various newspapers over the next 30-plus years. Now retired and a regular blogger for the Times of Israel, he also volunteers in an editorial capacity for the Church’s Ministry among Jewish people, an Anglican society founded in 1809, while continuing to write prolifically for a number of publications. Peace in Jerusalem is a sequel to his first book on the subject, Israel the Chosen, available on Amazon.

Death Of Reality 2015 Edition
$23.76Paradigm Company
The Death of Reality documents that a politically-inspired unreality has been imposed upon the American culture. The political left is making a successful assault upon reality-founded knowledge and substituting ideologically generated beliefs in in its place. These beliefs are increasingly immunized from correction by a popular new philosophy, introduced in the 1950s by the language philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, which accepts that reality is is mere opinion and not factually based. The book argues that the left has taken on a totalitarian character following its nearly complete domination of the national media and the universities. Control over information and knowledge has given it the power to enforce political unrealities in the areas of the environment, race, gender, sexual proclivities and especially in science.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Political Agape : Christian Love And Liberal Democracy
$43.99What is the place of Christian love in a pluralistic society dedicated to “liberty and justice for all”? What would it mean to take both Jesus Christ and Abraham Lincoln seriously and attempt to translate love of God and neighbor into every quarter of life, including law and politics? Timothy Jackson addresses such questions in Political Agape: Prophetic Christianity and Liberal Democracy.
Jackson argues that love of God and neighbor is the perilously neglected civil virtue of our time and that it must be considered even before justice in structuring political principles and policies. To indicate the specific implications of civic agapism, he looks at such issues as the death penalty, Christian complicity in the Holocaust, the case for same-sex marriage, and the morality of adoption. The book concludes with Jackson’s reflections on Martin Luther King Jr. as a Christian hero.

Embracing The Passion
$35.99Convention suggests it is best not to talk about faith and politics: this book talks about both! It argues that Jesus was a political figure who championed the rights of the marginalised, the oppressed and voiceless. In this challenging and accessible book, Nigel Pimlott argues young people are often marginalised, oppressed and rarely heard in a world favouring the rich and powerful. Young people are opinionated, passionate about what they think is right and wrong, and are concerned about the world they live in. Yet research indicates young people are disengaged from mainstream political processes where they can express their views – young adults have stopped voting in elections in unprecedented numbers. This is something of a paradox.
Nigel contends that by more effectively equipping Christian youth workers and ministers to do politicking, they will be able to better equip and disciple young people to be more politically engaged in their own contexts. This unique research-based book provides a concise overview of how youth workers might best help young people flourish and realise the common good. It engages those interested in politics – and more importantly – encourages those not interested to get interested and make a difference in the world!

1 Nation Under Attack
$24.95The next American president will be inaugurated early in 2013. Will our next head of state secretly be following orders from an international financial cartel?
The American experiment in representative democracy produced the greatest world power in history. But the end-times prophecies of the Hebrew scriptures make no mention of a world power from the West, and for good reason. The American Empire could soon be reduced to Third World nation status. A private group of international financiers has enlisted the allegiance of the top three hundred federal office holders. Through economic pressure and political maneuvering, offshore financiers have undermined America’s financial markets, international trade, GDP, energy production, judiciary, and military readiness. Working through elected and appointed officials, they have destroyed confidence in the dollar, devalued government securities, and permanently stalled the nation’s economy. In his new book, Grant Jeffrey lays out the only credible plan to enable Americans to reclaim their rights and restore their once-great nation.

Planned Bullyhood : The Truth Behind The Headlines About The Planned Parent
$19.99The full, up-close story of the battle between Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Planned Parenthood from the woman at the center of the explosive media firestorm of early 2012, Karen Handel, former SVP of Public Policy at Komen.
In 2011, Susan G. Komen for the Cure was growing weary of the “pink” being tarnished by its health grants to Planned Parenthood (PPH), whose many controversies were fueling backlash against Komen. They wanted to remove themselves from the pro-life/abortion debate and made what they thought was a rational, reasonable decision: seek neutral ground in the culture war by severing ties with Planned Parenthood-and in turn, eliminate a major headache while opening a new, robust fund-raising channel.
Karen Handel, the organization’s Senior Vice President of Public Policy, was tasked with identifying options to disengage. In November, the Komen management and board decided to move forward. Komen believed that they and PPH had made a “gentle ladies” pact, agreeing to part ways amicably and acknowledging that a media firestorm was in no one’s best interest. Yet, six weeks later, PPH unleashed a media campaign so viral and so seamlessly executed that it must have been in the works for some time. PPH attacked Komen against the backdrop of the Obama administration’s clash with the Catholic Church over contraception. After just three days, following hysterical cries that “Komen was abandoning women,” Komen capitulated and reversed course. Handel-a lifelong pro-life Republican who was raised Catholic-was immediately made the target. She resigned within days of Komen’s reversal. Liberals called her a right-wing Trojan horse. The pro-life community hailed her as a hero. She insists she is neither.
Why did Planned Parenthood attack? Was Komen simply a pawn in something bigger? In this book, Karen Handel finally speaks.

Forward Together : A Moral Message For The Nation
$19.9914 Chapters
Additional Info
In 2013, after seven years of grassroots organizing, “Moral Mondays” grabbed the nation’s attention as thousands protested North Carolina’s General Assembly in Raleigh in support of the poor, voting rights, health care, immigrant rights, and other issues. Over 13 consecutive weeks, the protests against legislative extremism resulted in the arrests of nearly 1,000 people, making it one of the largest acts of civil disobedience in U.S. history. As thousands more gathered in support each Monday, Barber, president of the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP, became widely recognized as the leader of a new civil rights movement in the South. More than 100 “Forward Together-Moral Monday” connected events have since taken place, and the spirit of the movement has spread to Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, and New York.This reflection on the movement’s beginnings introduces Barber, the sources of his courage from both a biblical imagination for justice and a deep connection to “fusion” civil rights history, and the inspiring story of the Southern freedom movement’s revival. Barber invites readers into a big-tent, faith-based movement for justice that has room for black, white, and brown, gay and straight, rich and poor, old and young, Republicans and Democrats, people from all walks of life. Offering his unique analysis of what he has called the “Third Reconstruction,” Barber locates North Carolina’s struggle in the spiritual and political landscape of 21st-century America. With civil rights and social justice battles with a deep moral narrative, particularly in southern statehouses that then move to federal courts on appeal, what happens in North Carolina can shift the center of gravity in political discourse, debate, and decision-and thereby change the nation.
“Messages of moral dissent are designed not to just be spoken and heard but to shape the prophetic consciousness of a movement and of society,” says Barber. “The prophetic voice rises when government systems and sometimes even religious systems have abdicated their responsibility to the least of these. When the forces of extremism have become so overwhelming and have depressed the hope of the people, the prophetic voice and mission is to connect words and actions in ways that build restorative hope so that there can be a movement for restorative justice. So this book is an attempt to capture the practice of ‘preaching’ in the public square, which is where pr

4: Recovering Augustine’s Vision Of Public Life And Virtue: The Debate Entering The 21st Century
5: Interpreting Augustine’s Political And Social Thought: Hermeneutical Issues And Contemporary Applications
Conclusion
BibliographyAdditional Info
Alongside Saint Thomas Aquinas, the thought of Saint Augustine stands as one of the central fountainheads of not only theology but Western social and political theory. In the twentieth century especially, Augustine has been pivotal to the development of modern and contemporary political and social construction. Schools of ‘Augustinianism’ proliferated, especially in French, German, and English, and debated critical questions around the relationship of the church and state, war, justice, ethics, virtue, and the life of citizenship, interpreted through a lens provided by Augustine.Political Augustinianism examines these modern political readings of Augustine, providing an extensive account of the pivotal French, British, and American strands of interpretation. Fr. Michael J. S. Bruno guides the reader through these modern strands of interpretation, examines their historical, theological, and socio-political context, and discusses the hermeneutical underpinnings of the modern discussion of Augustine’s social and political thought.

Secular Government Religious People
$30.99The field of church and state in America is stuck in an unproductive debate about competing rights. One side emphasizes the right to be free of government-sponsored religion, such as prayer at public ceremonies. In contrast, the other side emphasizes people’s right to express their religious character and beliefs, sometimes even through government.Secular Government, Religious People breaks free of this trap. Ira Lupu and Robert Tuttle present an original theory that makes the secular character of American government, rather than a set of individual rights, the centerpiece of religious liberty in the United States. Through a comprehensive treatment of relevant constitutional themes and through their attention to both historical concerns and contemporary controversies — including issues often in today’s news — Lupu and Tuttle define and defend the secular character of U.S. government.

6. Ratzinger’s Theology Of Politics And Milbank’s Political Theology
Conclusion
BibliographyAdditional Info
One of the perennial questions in political theology is how the concept of truth is defined and how such is grounded theologically. The answer to this determines, to a great degree, theological engagement with and appropriations of political systems and theological accounts of political and social order. Truth and Politics tackles this crucial question through an analysis and comparison of the thought of two of the most important contemporary Catholic and Protestant theologians, Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) and John Milbank.Peter Samuel Kucer here traces out the critical question of the relationship of theology and politics, particularly as it intersects with ecclesiology, through a focus on the issue of the theological relationship to socialism. In this, Kucer demonstrates the competing accounts in the theologies of Joseph Ratzinger and John Milbank, arguing that Ratzinger’s theology is oriented in such a way that it maintains a provisional openness with regard to political forms-that theology and politics, while interconnected, do not demand commitment to a singular form of political model-in contrast to Milbank’s work, which subscribes to a particular pattern of church and politics.

Public Education : The Final Solution In The Conquest Of Americas Ideals
$18.99A SOCIALIST AGENDA RIGHT IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD Anyone who watches the headlines knows that war rages in our nation. The liberal agenda to destroy America’s three cornerstones of exceptionalism and to transform our nation into a socialist country grows more blatant by the day. What many parents and educators fail to realize, however, is that this agenda has already gained ground in communities across the fruited plain through an avenue few would expect-our public school system. In pushing your neighborhood toward socialism, the public school system: * Attacks family values, Christianity, and American patriotism. * Erodes America’s traditions and Christian foundation. * Pushes the state religion and a spirit of governmental dependence. * Encourages physical, moral, and intellectual weakness. * Handicaps students from achieving their full potential. Written by an educational insider, this eye-opening expose, a must have for every concerned parent, describes the 235-year plan to hijack American democracy. It also reveals a destructive philosophy, based on Plato’s Republic, America must abandon to avert God’s judgment.

Personal Journey Of A Black Common Sense Conservative
$19.9828 Chapters
Additional Info
…our country has fallen deeper into the abyss of apathy, low expectations, and dependence on government rather than commitment to excellence, expectation of achievement, and fierce dedication to liberty.Carl Pittman is unflinching in speaking his truth, and his plainspoken insights let light into the darkness of our country’s increasingly aggressive ignorance. The foundation for his life philosophy comes from his mother, a devoted, ferociously wise woman.
Mama could not read, could barely write her name, and struggled for most of her fifty years on this earth, but always told us that being poor didn’t mean you had to be a thief, because you could work, nor be dirty, because soap was cheap.
“Right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter who’s doing it.”
This last maxim-which should be simple to understand-lends perspective to many of the issues our country handles with kid gloves because of the race of those involved. Many white Americans despise President Obama because of his race. Many black Americans find no fault with Obama for the same reason. In fact, both positions are racist. Pittman’s position?
Barack Obama should be prosecuted…because his politics are being placed above the safety and security of this nation.
The Constitution is under attack from parties who prefer an a la carte body of law. Concerning the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, Pittman opines, “Had there been a good guy with a gun there, I believe the outcome would have been much different.”
The Personal Journey of a Black Common Sense Conservative is not, in the end, about politics. It is about, very simply, what’s right and fair in alignment with what the term American truly means. Pittman’s is a bold and refreshing voice hoping to drown out the roaring passivity of a complacent, entitled society.

Good Of Politics
$37.50In this addition to the acclaimed Engaging Culture series, a highly respected author and Christian thinker offers a principled, biblical perspective on engaging political culture as part of one’s calling.
James Skillen believes that constructive Christian engagement depends on the belief that those made in the image of God are created not only for family life, agriculture, education, science, industry, and the arts but also for building political communities, justly ordered for the common good. He argues that God made us to be royal stewards of public governance from the outset and that the biblical story of God’s creation, judgment, and redemption of all things in Jesus Christ has everything to do with politics and government.
In this irenic, nonpartisan treatment of an oft-debated topic, Skillen critically assesses current political realities and helps readers view responsibility in the political arena as a crucial dimension of the Christian faith.

Governing The Affairs Of The People
$18.11written by a political leader, for political leaders
This book is for local government political leaders. You will either learn from its contents, or it contents will scare you to the point that you will throw it in the trash.
A must read for political leaders who are under intense pressure and have nowhere to go, or no one to seek guidance from.
I am convinced that many elected officials who governed before us knew something about the importance of prayer and biblical wisdom that many elected officials today do not know about or refuse to accept.
It would serve all of us well to reflect on the words, wisdom, and, most importantly, the advice, of our founding fathers and the great leaders of Old and early New Testament days, when we are Governing The Affairs Of The People.
This book does not advocate supporting a specific political platform, philosophy, position, or party affiliation. It’s not about politics as usual. You will read about a few relevant topics not many people in politics talk about and avoid at all costs. Yet, these topics continue to have a profound impact on how individual elected officials like you and me govern the affairs of the people.
You will find on its pages words of wisdom and sound advice about how you can prevent yourself from traveling down a very painful and costly road as you pursue your political goals and aspirations.

Evangelicals On Public Policy Issues
$29.98Six politically diverse evangelical Christians model a better way to do politics: respectful conversation about twelve public policy issues that uncover common ground and illuminate remaining disagreements.
Current political discourse is broken, characterized by nasty sound bytes, demonizing the opposition, and holding to fixed positions that resist the discovery of the common ground needed for governing. In this volume, six evangelical Christians model a better way, informed by the belief that the call of Christians to love their neighbors should create a welcoming space for persons to talk respectfully about their disagreements.
The six Christians, who situate themselves at various points along the political spectrum, completed a nine-month “Alternative Political Conversation” on the website www.respectfulconversation.net on the following topics: the federal budget deficit, immigration, religious freedom, Syria and Iran, Israel and Palestine, poverty in the US, marriage, health care, K-12 education, gun control, abortion, and the role of government.

Divine Kingdom Holy Order
$108.31The canon of western political theory has long misrepresented Martin Luther’s political thought, mistaking it as a forerunner of the “freedom of conscience” or the “separation of church and state,” or an ancestor of modern absolutism and even German totalitarianism.
These misleading interpretations neglect Luther’s central point: temporal government is a gift from God, worthy of honor and respect, independent yet complementary to the purpose and mission of the Church.
Spanning Luther’s career as a reformer, the writings in this anthology demonstrate his resolve to restore temporal government to its proper place of honor and divine purpose.

Wall In Jerusalem
$31.41Mark Braverman reveals the true nature and shocking consequences of the conflict between Israel and Palestine, explaining why Zionism is not a true Christian response to the conflict and offering clear-cut solutions for peace at home and abroad.
The conflict between Israel and Palestine is at the center of a firestorm of political controversy, religious zeal, and bloodshed in the Middle East. Many American Christians feel that they have a biblical obligation to “stand with Israel”–but do we really understand the conflict? And is Zionism really the path to peace?
An American Jew, Mark Braverman was transformed by witnessing firsthand the occupation of Palestine and the devastating consequences of the struggle of Israelis and Palestinians to bring justice to their land. In THE WALL IN JERUSALEM, Braverman:
*Clearly outlines the origins and major tenets of the conflict and of Zionism
*Demonstrates how Christian Zionism conflicts with Christian values of justice and compassion
*Gives Christians biblical and historical basis for supporting both the state of Israel and Palestine
*Offers a clear course of action both at home and abroad to bring peace
Illuminating and provocative, this book will challenge what Christians think they know about Israel and Palestine, and inspire them to help bring God’s peace to the Holy Land.Illuminating and provocative, this book will challenge what Christians think they know about Israel and Palestine, and inspire them to help bring God’s peace to the Holy Land.

Power Politics And The Missouri Synod
$56.661. Change And Reaction In The LCMS: 1938-1965
2. Countermovement: 1965-1969
3. Power, Politics, And The Purge: 1969-1974
4. Genie On The Loose: 1974-1981Additional Info
Power, Politics, and the Missouri Synod follows the rise of two Lutheran clergymen-Herman Otten and J. A. O. Preus-who led different wings of a conservative movement that seized control of a theologically conservative but socially and politically moderate church denomination and drove “moderates” from the church in the 1970s. The schism within what was then one of the largest Protestant denominations in the United States ultimately reshaped the landscape of American Lutheranism and fostered the polarization that characterizes today’s Lutheran churches.Burkee’s story, supported by personal interviews with key players and church archives sealed for over twenty years, is about more than Lutheranism. The remaking of this one Lutheran denomination reflects a broader movement toward theological and political conservatism in American churches-a movement that began in the 1970s and culminated in the formation of the “Religious Right.”

Christian Theology And The Ethics Of Nationalism
$48.00Doug Gay explores the ethics of nationalism, recognising that for many Christians, churches and theologians, nationalism has often been seen as intrinsically unethical due to a presumption that at best it involves privileging one nations interests over anothers and at worst it amounts to a form of ethnocentrism or even racism. Gay argues that there is another tradition of thinking nationalism, which can be related to state formation in early modern and modern Europe and North America, decolonisation in the 20th C and the reshaping of Central and Eastern Europe post 1989. This tradition represents a political response to various forms of empire and an assertion of a desire for self-determination in opposition to domination by an imperial or colonial power. This trajectory has not yet been adequately recognised within political theology and Christian ethics, which remains suspicious of the language of nationalism, while quietly acquiescing in its acceptance of the political legitimacy of most existing nation-states. The book offers a clear challenge to this approach, suggesting it lacks self-awareness and moral authority and proposes a critical rehabilitation of the discourse of nationalism, as necessary and helpful in relation to creating an honest and transparent discourse about the legitimacy of state boundaries. What makes any nationalism whether regnant or aspiring – ethical for Christian theology?

Priests And Politics
$35.99Since Christianity is an ethical as well as a mystical religion and since individuals live in communities, the church is bound to be involved in politics and other social action that determines the quality of human life. So argues Trevor Beeson in this study of how the Church of England’s leaders responded to the radical social changes that transformed life in Britain during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Their response was never prompt and rarely enthusiastic,and all too often the bishops resisted change in society as well as in the church. Nonetheless there were always a few prophets who recognised the need for reform and sometimes led the way to its realisation.
Trevor Beeson traces the course of a fascinating period of history, starting from the time when church and state were bonded in an all-embracing unity, then moving through turbulent and and sometimes violent times in which the church struggled to discover a new vocation.
Trevor Beeson analyses 18 key issues of the period in his usual robust style together with pen-portraits of the leading figures involved.. He ends with a critical evalualtion of the performances of some recent church leaders and outlines what he believes to be the appropriate basis for the intervention of bishops and other clergy in an increasingly secularised society that no longer recognises their authority.
The duty to make pronouncements of Christian principle remains but these must normally point decision-makers in constructive directions rather than offering directives for the solutions of complex social and economic problems.

The Global Charter Of ConscienceAdditional Info
What kind of thing must freedom be to be guaranteed to every human being? In this conflicted world of competing ideologies and religious differences, the threats to human dignity are terrifyingly real. Offenses and misunderstandings can spark riots and wars. Governments and religions battle over the right to exist. People are crushed by contemporary dictatorships of mind and heart, whether secularist totalitarianism, religious authoritarianism or Western illiberalism. Is there any hope for living together peacefully? Os Guinness argues that the best way to ensure freedom and justice for all is to champion the freedom of the soul-the inviolable freedom of thought, conscience and religion that promotes and protects human dignity and fosters stable societies. English Puritan Roger Williams wrote of “soul liberty,” a freedom of belief that acts as a bulwark against abuses of power and the oppression of humanity. In contrast to religionist voices that impose their beliefs on others and secularist visions that exclude all religious perspectives, Guinness offers a vision for advancing liberty and civility in the global public square. This constructive vision charts a course for the future of the world. If we are to make the world safe for diversity, we must learn to negotiate deep differences in public life. For a world desperate for hope at a critical juncture of human history, here is a way forward, for the good of all.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Karl Barths Emergency Homiletic 1932-1933
$45.99What does a theologian say to young preachers in the early 1930s, at the dawn of the Third Reich?
What Karl Barth did say, how he said it, and why he said it at that time and place are the subject of Angela Dienhart Hancock’s book. This is the story of how a preaching classroom became a place of resistance in Germany in 1932-33 — a story that has not been told in its fullness. In that emergency situation, Barth took his students back to the fundamental questions about what preaching is and what it is for, returning again and again to the affirmation of the Godness of God, the only ground of resistance to ideological captivity.
No other text has so interpreted Barth’s “Exercises in Sermon Preparation” in relation to their theological, political, ecclesiastical, academic, and rhetorical context.
