  Question Of Providence

  $28.00

  The traditional doctrine of providence has fallen on hard times in the face of human suffering, such as that of September 11, 2001. In this clear and engaging book, Charles Wood seeks to renew reflection on doctrine of providence by reexamining features of the classical doctrine and reorienting the doctrine in a way that coheres more fully with the gospel.
  Wood’s argument moves in two directions: first, by examining recent thinking about the function of doctrine, Wood sheds light on what the doctrine of providence is supposed to do and how one might assess its adequacy. Second, Wood proposes a reorientation of the doctrine around the central Trinitarian and christological commitments—a reorientation that moves beyond neglecting the doctrine of providence and toward a new way of understanding Gods involvement with the world.

  Attentive To God

  $18.99

  How the pastor reads a situation theologically will define the possibilities for ministry now and for the church’s future.

  The pastor’s theological lens effects every ministry task. This book introduces students to the importance of theological reflection. It tells them why theological reflection is crucial to who they are and what they do, and it shows them how they can acquire and strengthen their capacity for theological attentiveness. Central to Wood and Blue’s approach is the conviction that pastoral character and pastoral practice are mutually formative. Also through the practice of ministry the pastor’s identity is both continually discovered and continually worked on and worked out. All pastors must integrate who they believe themselves to be and who they believe God is to be effective leaders.
