Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Trauma-Informed Path toward ForgivenessThe church's teachings on forgiveness often fail victims and survivors of abuse.As a Christian minister, biblical scholar, and survivor of abuse, Susannah Griffith has spent a lot of time thinking about forgiveness. In Forgiveness after Trauma, she explores what the Bible says--and doesn't say--about the biblical call to forgive.Griffith advocates for 'trauma-informed forgiveness,' which takes seriously God's forgiveness of sinners while centering survivors of abuse and aiding their healing. This view also empowers those who have been harmed by abuses of power and justice in religious institutions.'Provides desperately needed insight and clarity on one of the most significant issues survivors face as they take steps toward safety and recovery. This book will empower many who find themselves stuck and unsure how to move forward on their healing journey.'--Wade Mullen, author of Something's Not Right: Decoding the Hidden Tactics of Abuse--and Freeing Yourself from Its Power'Griffith weaves together Scripture, memoir, and practical theology in a trauma-informed ethic of forgiveness.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A gift from one of the most creative theologians writing today'What is our calling as Christians regarding the good life and engagement in the public sphere In Mortal Goods, Ephraim Radner examines how we might more faithfully and realistically imagine our political vocation.'In a polarized age when edifying discussions about religion and politics are in short supply, Radner asks us to rethink what we mean by 'the good life.' It begins with a self-imposed challenge to write a letter to his children about what makes life valuable. The letter he eventually pens, after pondering various God-given mortal goods, is worth the price of the book--and has the potential to reorient, rehabilitate, and redeem our present political morass.'--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School'Vintage Radner--erudite and incisive--with a twist: at times conversational and even personal. We find in Mortal Goods themes from Radner's earlier volumes, here with new implications: the thresholds and limits of Christian political engagement, the 'mortal goods' that boundary our pilgrimage from birth to death. If you have not yet read Radner, start here. And if you have read him, continue with Mortal Goods.'--Kathryn Greene-McCreight, priest affiliate, Christ Church, New Haven, Connecticut'What is our Christian duty in public affairs Many of us imagine that we're called to put our shoulder to the wheel of progress. Radner argues otherwise. We are called to honor the beauty of creation and to ameliorate, as best we can, the burden of life after the fall. Radner shows that we need a politics of finitude, one that is grateful and not grudging. A must-read in our difficult times.'--R. R. Reno, editor, First Things'At once groundbreaking and deeply traditional, Mortal Goods is a wonder, a gift from one of the most creative theologians writing today. Whether or not one concurs with Radner's conclusions, readers hungry for fresh insights on modern responses to mortal calamity will be deeply enriched by this volume.'--J. Todd Billings, Western Theological Seminary, Holland, Michigan; author of The End of the Christian Life.

In these pages Jonathan Edwards comes alive in a new way, and we see how the drama of redemption informs all that he wrote--his history, theology, and exegesis. At once scholarly and edifying, this is a tour de force!'--Timothy George, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University'McDermott is well known as a Jonathan Edwards scholar. Now he has stepped into the role of updating the great theologian's work by offering his own account of the history of redemption. But this is no mere rehash of Edwards. Instead, McDermott works to bring out the astounding beauty of redemption (a much-neglected category in Protestantism) for a new generation. A very encouraging volume.'--Carl R. Trueman, Grove City College'Audacious, sweeping, magisterial, and highly distinctive--at a moment in history when understanding the global is essential, McDermott gives us both a deep history and a wide-ranging global view of God's restoration of the world that expands our minds and enriches our faith. Fascinating reading.'--Os Guinness, author of Magna Carta for Humanity'McDermott's voice carefully unites the Reformed tradition with key Roman Catholic theologians to write an ecumenically compelling theology of God's redemption, from before creation to the end of time. He pays special attention to 'Israel' (both Jews who follow Jesus and those who do not) and to Israel's enduring role in salvation history. A genuine contribution to theology, ecclesiology, and Christian-Jewish relations.'--Gavin D'Costa, Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Rome'McDermott proves once again that he is one of the most well-grounded yet exciting and thought-provoking Christian theologians of our day. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Christianity, the New Testament, or contemporary theology. From now on, serious Christian theology should take this formidable book into account.'--Rabbi Eugene Korn, Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation, Jerusalem.

Buch. Zustand: Neu.

Part 1 examines what the Gospels are and how we got four canonical Gospels. Part 2 explores the role history, narrative, and theology play in our reading of the Gospels. Part 3 examines each of the four canonical Gospels from the perspectives of history, narrative, and theology, particularly emphasizing the role they play in discipleship.'This wide-ranging treatment of the Gospels does not suffer from bland generalities. Instead, Jipp both reiterates established teaching and offers fresh insights. An untrained reader acquires an introduction to the central issues and even complicated debates with a clear presentation of what really matters. The scholar is equipped with a pedagogical resource that makes connections to art, literature, and culture. Reading the Gospels as Christian Scripture comforts the common anxieties inherent in Gospels studies as well as sparks passion to read, understand, and live these texts. I look forward to sharing this in my parish and my classroom.'--Amy Peeler, Wheaton College'Intertwining literary, historical, and theological inquiry, Jipp introduces the complexities and possibilities Christians face when reading the Fourfold Gospel. He draws on a diverse panoply of scholars and poets, theologians and activists to illuminate how these stories have transformed the world by challenging and inspiring followers of Jesus. Both accessible and challenging, this book is an ideal teaching tool for the classroom and a helpful companion for anyone looking to learn anew the shape of the gospel.'--Eric D. Barreto, Princeton Theological Seminary'I can hardly wait to share this book with students in my Introduction to the New Testament course. Undergraduate and masters-level students will find it highly instructive and accessible. Jipp offers clear yet nuanced explanations of major scholarly questions and debates in Gospels studies, along with helpful comparative charts and summaries of key points that emphasize their practical implications. The best contribution of Jipp's book is the way it guides us to actually read each of the Gospels in light of their key historical, literary, and theological themes. Readers will gain 'wise sensibilities' and principles for engaging the Gospels as disciples for the purpose of being transformed.'--Janette H. Ok, Fuller Theological Seminary'Jipp pursues the questions of what the Gospels are, where they come from, what they say, and, most important of all, why they still matter. Jipp provides a historically informed and theologically sensitive reading of the Gospels that is full of great quotes and amazing insights. He shows with wisdom and erudition that the Gospels are among the most transformative books in the Christian canon.'--Michael F. Bird, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia.
