Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - God created us to be curious. We innately wonder about the world, one another, ourselves, and our Creator. But fear of the unknown, cultural taboos, technology, or even church leaders can smother our curiosity.Popular writer Lore Ferguson Wilbert has belonged to Christian communities that discouraged curiosity. The point of the Christian life was to have the right answers, and asking questions reflected a wavering faith. But Wilbert came to discover that the Bible is a permission slip to anyone who wants to ask questions.Reflecting her own theological trajectory toward a more contemplative, expansive faith, Wilbert invites readers to foster curiosity as a spiritual habit. This book explores questions God asks us, questions we ask God, and questions we ask each other. Christianity is not about knowing good answers, says Wilbert, but about asking good questions--ones that foster deeper intimacy with God and others.A Curious Faith invites readers to go beyond pat answers and embrace curiosity, rather than certainty, as a hallmark of authentic faith. Foreword by Seth Haines.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - ? Publishers Weekly starred review'A superior volume on Christian antiracism.'--Publishers WeeklyRacism is omnipresent in American life, both public and private. We are immersed in what prominent faith leader Willie Dwayne Francois III calls white noise--the racist speech, ideas, and policies that lull us into inaction on racial justice. White noise masks racial realities and prevents constructive responses to microaggressions, structural inequality, and overt interpersonal racism.In this book, Francois calls people of all racial backgrounds to take up practices that overcome silence and inaction on race and that advance racial repair. Drawing from his anti-racism curriculum, the Public Love Organizing and Training (PLOT) Project, Francois encourages us to move from a 'colorblind' stance of mythic innocence to one that takes an honest account of our national history and acknowledges our complicity in racism as a prelude to anti-racist interventions.Weaving together personal narrative, theology, and history, this book invites us to engage 6 'rhythms of reparative intercession.' These are six practices of anti-racism that aim to repair harm by speaking up and 'acting up' on behalf of others. Silencing White Noise offers concrete ways to help people wrest free from the dangers of racism and to develop lifelong Christian anti-racist practices.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Theology of Mission in Light of Global ChristianityLalsangkima (Kima) Pachuau argues that theology of mission deals with God's work in and for the world, which is centered on God's salvation in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.'Pachuau's book sets forth a theology of mission by drawing from a wide range of contemporary trinitarian theologies, theologies of religion, and different church traditions. In a day and age when works that claim to be inclusive often conceal ideologies that exclude contrary views, Pachuau's book is a rare example of a truly inclusive theology of mission.'--Simon Chan, editor of Asia Journal of Theology'Pachuau has followed up his landmark World Christianity with another remarkable work, God at Work in the World. In a day when the missio Dei is frequently and awkwardly disconnected from the life and witness of the church, Pachuau restores that vital connection in many reflective and surprising ways. This is Pachuau at his best.'--Timothy C. Tennent, Asbury Theological Seminary'Challenges any mission activity that is not rooted in reflection on the mission of the triune God and on the contextual nature of all theologies.'--Kirsteen Kim, Fuller Theological Seminary'Pachuau has offered to fellow scholars and students around the world a firm introduction to the theology of mission that is not only profound but also accessible and sometimes even provocative. An important addition to any theological or missiological library.'--Stephen Bevans, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago (emeritus)'Anyone interested in the relationship between theology and mission will benefit from the clear and concise wisdom offered in this valuable work.'--John R.

Can the biblical prophets speak into our world today Old Testament ethicist M. Daniel Carroll R. shows that learning from the prophets can make us better prepared for Christian witness.

Each of these components in the biblical text makes its own particular call to readers to respond in an appropriate manner. The book also links biblical teaching with prophetic voices of the modern era.…
