Liberating The Gospel
$28.31Liberating the Gospel is prefaced by Tom Wright’s claim that Christians have for too long “read scripture with nineteenth-century eyes and sixteenth-century questions,” and that it is urgently necessary they learn to read “with first-century eyes and twenty-first-century questions.” The central section of the book concentrates on reading the narratives of the Galilean ministry of Jesus within their first century context, then exploring Paul’s mission in the setting of the urban and imperial world of Rome, before offering reflection on the Apocalypse in the changed world following the destruction of Jerusalem. Smith then concludes his treatise facing the “twenty-first-century questions,” seeking to build a hermeneutical bridge to our globalized world. As a whole, this major book on Christian mission aims to contribute toward an understanding of how the dynamic message of Christ might be liberated to be heard as genuinely good news today, in the process potentially transforming Christianity, provided there is willingness to face opposition from a world resistant to the exposure of its injustices.

Teaching And Christian Imagination
$26.99This book invites Christian teachers to slow down, take a deep breath, and allow their weary souls to recover. The authors – experienced teachers themselves – encourage teacher-readers to imagine their work differently, opening up possibilities for reanimating how they view learning in a Christian context.
In Teaching and Christian Imagination David Smith and Susan Felch creatively use three metaphors – journeys, gardens, and buildings – to illuminate a fresh vision of teaching and learning. Stretching beyond familiar cliches, they infuse these metaphors with rich biblical echoes and theological resonances. “We need vision, not just beliefs and techniques,” the authors argue in their introduction. “And that vision, if it is to sustain us, must be deeply Christian.”

Teaching And Christian Practices
$34.98In Teaching and Christian Practices several university professors describe and reflect on their efforts to allow historic Christian practices to reshape and redirect their pedagogical strategies. Whether allowing spiritually formative reading to enhance a literature course, employing table fellowship and shared meals to reinforce concepts in a pre-nursing nutrition course, or using Christian hermeneutical practices to interpret data in an economics course, these teacher-authors envision ways of teaching and learning that are rooted in the rich tradition of Christian practices, as together they reconceive classrooms and laboratories as vital arenas for faith and spiritual growth.

Ministry By Teenagers

Caring Well provides a fresh approach to problems in medical ethics. It shows how attending closely to the concerns and religious commitments of both patients and professionals enables ethicists to offer wiser critiques of moral issues in the field of health care. Beginning with chapters that work to recover an experience-near method of engaging moral problems from classic twentieth century writing on religion and medicine, the contributors next consider how the practice of care-giving is shaped by the particular commitments they serve, and patients themselves. Then, through on-the-ground accounts of issues attending the donation and transplant of organs, contributors consider how ethicists might help patients, their families, and professionals work through conflicts between commitments. The final chapters offer perspectives on the ways experience-near appraisals of care for the dying can help all parties concerned_health care professionals, patients, their families, and ethicists_to affirm the dignity of the dying and to connect the experience of mortality with what it means to be human.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
