Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Required reading for the next generation of Christian leaders''Root is one of our leading practical theologians. In this book he continues his ongoing dialogue with Charles Taylor, providing us with a fascinating and timely exploration of time, church, and culture.

A book well worth reading.'--John Swinton, University of Aberdeen'Root serves as a guide for current congregations often lost in the time and space of the wilderness of high modernity. He shows us how to suspend the relentless rush of time and points the church toward a path from our present captivity in the rat race of modernity to the life-giving vitality of the love of God. This book is required reading for the next generation of Christian leaders. Root provides a clear and resounding perspective on why and how the church matters in a secular age.'--Pamela Ebstyne King, Thrive Center for Human Development, Fuller Theological Seminary'The pressure is on to accomplish as much as we can, as quickly as we can, which generates a constant anxiety that fuels depression. Not only does this pressure terrorize the secular world, it also menaces the many congregations that are fighting for survival in the so-called secular age. This book offers a fresh, timely, and powerful reminder of the hope of all hopes--the one true hope--to which the gospel witnesses. As such, it made me a happier person, authentically so!'--Andrew Torrance, University of St. Andrews'Root is an expert reader of contemporary church life.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This is the best one-volume anthology of Barth's theology available in English. Barth's writings are thoughtfully selected to cover his early development, his mature theology, and his political development. Keith Johnson's critical commentary is superb. This book will be of great service not only in the classroom but also in the pastor's study and in the hands of any interested reader. It deserves a wide readership wherever there is interest in Karl Barth.'--George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary'This volume offers a delightful and illuminating approach to the theology of Karl Barth, one of the most significant theologians in the Protestant tradition. Johnson serves as a well-equipped and sure-footed guide as he draws the reader gently into key excerpts from Barth's rather daunting and multifaceted corpus of work. Johnson is judicious in his selection of texts, insightful in his introductions, annotations, and explanations, and considered in his rendering of the life and legacy of Barth. The result is a highly impressive achievement, offering an accessible yet informative pathway into the writings of this visionary theologian.'--Paul T. Nimmo, King's College, University of Aberdeen'It's a challenge to figure out which texts can best introduce the curious to the complex music of Karl Barth's theology. In The Essential Karl Barth, Keith Johnson has curated and introduced a rich assortment of Barth's writings spanning his career, and Johnson's wise and learned commentary keeps ever in view the contexts in which Barth did his work. An invaluable resource for exploring Barth's theology and his world.'--Angela Dienhart Hancock, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary'This is an astonishingly helpful book. Johnson's introductions are clear, elegant, and effortlessly learned, and his selection of texts gives readers not only an overview but an actual feel for Barth's thought. The fact that he does all of this in a single volume is a marvel. For anyone who wants to get a grip on the theology of Karl Barth, this is the book to read!'--Kevin W. Hector, University of Chicago Divinity School'Johnson has provided a wonderful collection of texts judiciously selected from the voluminous corpus of Barth's works.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Exegetically sound and theologically sensitive''Goldingay's Hosea-Micah delves into the riches of the first half of the book of the Twelve in the Christian canon, resulting in an illuminating exposition of a significant portion of the First Testament.

Hosea-Micah is an invaluable resource for student and scholar alike.'--Chloe T. Sun, Logos Evangelical Seminary'Goldingay has done it again! Like his previous volumes, this new work offers engaging commentary that is exegetically sound and theologically sensitive. And he has done so with his usual panache. This commentary on these six important prophets will take a prominent place on my shelf.'--Bill T. Arnold, Asbury Theological Seminary'Goldingay's intentionally alienating translations and properly provocative readings combine with his characteristically cogent observations to produce a commentary of verve and power.

Bold and risk-taking in his engagement with Scripture, Goldingay invites those peering over his shoulder to look with fresh eyes on these ancient prophets and then, with renewed attention, toward their contemporary relevance.'--David Reimer, Faith Mission Bible College, Edinburgh; University of St. AndrewsPraise for Goldingay's Genesis in the BCOT: Pentateuch Series'Goldingay's immense contribution to our understanding of the Old Testament over the past few decades cannot be overestimated.

Leung Lai, Tyndale University and Seminary'The book of Genesis holds a fascination for many contemporary readers but also tends to strike them as something of an 'alien' text. Goldingay has written a wonderfully lucid guide to the story.'--Iain Provan, Regent College, Vancouver'This landmark commentary is a rich gift to biblical scholarship and to the church.'--J. Gordon McConville, University of Gloucestershire (emeritus).
