Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - \*Advance Praise & Reviews\*'Pope Francis proclaims the message of Jesus, as it has been transmitted to us through the Gospel of Luke. Jesus reaches out to those in need, and even in sin. The words and actions of Pope Francis continue that message. The Jesus of Luke's Gospel is not only gentle but forgiving. Pope Francis's reflections rightly keep asking: 'Am I on the slippery path from sin to corruption from which there is no return ' He challenges us with the gospel message of responsible loving. It does not come cheaply.' --Francis J. Moloney, SDB, Catholic Theological College, Melbourne, Australia Drawn from homilies, writings, and speeches since Francis became pope and arranged in order of the chapters of Luke, the words of Pope Francis invite us into the world of Jesus, forming readings that shine light on our own lives. Like the earlier volumes, The Gospel of Matthew and The Gospel of Mark, this collection invites the reader into the world of Jesus, through the Pope's pastoral reflections, to discover the hidden treasures of this Gospel. Ideal for individual reading or group study, the homilist or the pastoral minister, these pages allow the reader to be guided by Francis, a master of prayerful silence, so that we may be open to conversion through living more closely with Jesus, the Word made flesh.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - \*Advance Praise & Reviews\* 'Christianity Corrupted is an imperative resource for scholars of religion and sincere Christians. Engaging and clearly written, an excellent overview of central themes in liberation theology.'--Noel Leo Erskine, author, Plantation Church, Candler School of Theology, Emory University Christianity Corrupted explores how Christian theologies in the United States have been shaped to normalize white superiority and privilege. Divided into three parts, the book first traces the theological roots of this scandal, examining the influence of Reformed notions of election, Enlightenment theories of race, and proslavery theologies embraced by colonists. The second part shows how enslaved Africans developed their own Christian practices and theologies of spiritual resistance in response to oppression. The final part considers the enduring impact of these roots, from the Civil War and Jim Crow to the Moral Majority and contemporary white evangelical complicity in politics, including the election of Donald Trump and the resurgence of white nationalism.…

Neuware - \*Advance Praise & Reviews\*'With his trademark clarity, readability, and comprehensiveness, Roger Schroeder gives a tour d'horizon of the global spread of the Christian message, from its beginning to our time. Each chapter presents an informative account of Christian missions in key historical periods, with reflections on 'threads of Christian Tradition' that allow readers to see both its continuity and novelty in each age. I most enthusiastically recommend this book for courses on church history and missiology for both professional degrees and continuing education.'--Peter C. Phan, author, The Joy of Religious Pluralism Designed for classroom use this one-volume text situates the history of Christianity within its various social and political contexts. Suitable for one-semester, upper-level undergraduate and introductory-level graduate courses, Christian Tradition in Global Perspective highlights key events, movements, eras, documents, rituals, artifacts, and persons. While written from a Catholic perspective, the book is inclusive of other Christian denominations, churches, and movements that are the various streams within Christianity. Following the methodology and philosophy of the 'new' church history, Schroeder tells the story of Christian tradition as much as possible from a non-Eurocentric/non-Western perspective, one that is inclusive of the roles and movements of 'non-Western people,' women, laity, and others who traditionally have been excluded from the written histories of Christianity. Christian Tradition in Global Perspective is uniquely suited for both students and teachers, as well as church leaders, in our globally connected world.…
