Peculiar Faith : Queer Theology For Christian Witness
$27.95
Designed for both church and academic audiences
* Ecumenical appeal
Residing at the intersection of constructive theology and critical social theory, this book
provides a resource for both students and clergy to reinterpret Christian theology and
re-imagine Christian faith in the twenty-first century.
The author seeks “to encourage and equip Christian faith communities to move beyond
the decades-long stalemate over human sexuality and gender identity” because “Queer
gifts emerge in Christian communities when lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
(LGBT) people no longer feel compelled to justify their presence in those communities.”
Useful in both seminary classrooms and in congregational settings, the book is a
contribution to the still-emerging field of queer theology, translating the rigors of scholarly
research into transforming proposals for faith communities.
AUDIENCE: For seminary classes, small group study in congregations, and readers with
an interest in queer theology.

Great Divorce
$17.99Add to cartC.S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging allegorical tale. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis introduces us to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.

Mere Christianity
$17.99Add to cartArguably the 20th century’s most influential Christian writer, C.S. Lewis sought to explain and defend the beliefs that nearly all Christians at all times hold in common. His simple yet deeply profound classic, originally delivered as a series of radio broadcasts, is a book to be thoroughly digested by believers and generously shared with skeptics. Paperback with French f laps and deckled page edges.
