Hardback. Condition: Good. But will it preach? The only good answer to this question often asked about a Christian theology is to preach it, which is to say, to preach according to it, to what it indicates, reflectively and critically, valid Christian preaching ought to be. This volume of selected sermons and homilies documents a career-long attempt to do exactly that. Concerned at once to be faithful to the Christian witness and to speak intelligibly and credibly to women and men here and now, it represents the way of preaching, and so directly calling for a Christian commitment, that is of a piece with the distinctive way of doing Christian theology set forth and argued for in Schubert Ogden's other books and articles. This is why each sermon or homily seeks so to interpret its scriptural text as to bring out its existential meaning for understanding ourselves and leading our lives as human beings today. It is also why each of them, in its way, directly puts the question of decision raised by Christian faith. Thus, together with its companion volume, To Teach the Truth, this book offers a model for bearing witness to the truth as Christians understand it. Schubert Ogden burst on the academic and church scenes in the early 1960s. He quickly established himself as a major Christian theologian whose main purpose was to identify and share the truth about God. In this book, he continues that task with a remarkable series of sermons which uncover and share the depths of his chosen biblical texts with passion, accuracy, and the carefulness of a disciplined scholar. --James M. Wall, former editor of The Christian Century If I were still teaching preaching in a seminary classroom, I would assign this collection of sermons to be read, one at a time, while seated in the chapel. Such a location would increase the chance of being addressed rather than simply addressing others. As a result, the preacher may have the uneasy joy of experiencing the truth of the gospel. --Fred B. Craddock, author of Overhearing the Gospel The author brings together sermons from over forty years of preaching in churches, university chapels, and theological communities. To witness to the truth is, of course, the challenge for every Christian. For Ogden, it joins a lifelong devotion to theological research, reflection, teaching, and writing--all discerning, profound, and justly honored as such--with a commitment to assuring us that God is 'sheer love' and that Jesus is God's word on this matter which all of us can trust. --Bernard O. Brown, author of Seasons of His Mercies What is a sermon supposed to do? A sermon is supposed to put its hearer in the shoes of a person who first heard the words on which it is based. To do so seems, however, to be rather rare. This is what Ogden does, and does consistently. These are real sermons. --Philip E. Devenish, translator of Konrad Hammann's Rudolf Bultmann Schubert M. Ogden is University Distinguished Professor of Theology Emeritus at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University. His books include The Understanding of Christian Faith (Cascade, 2010), Doing Theology Today (Wipf & Stock, 2006), and Faith and Freedom (Wipf & Stock, 2005).…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Mobilizing a Great Commission Church for Harvest addresses practical aspects of evangelism in the local church, with the voices and views of nineteen current Southern Baptist professors of evangelism. They address important topics to local church evangelism, such as Invitations with integrity and Preparing for Spiritual Warfare. Key leaders and professors write in their areas of expertise. For examples, Alvin Reid writes on Mobilizing Students, David Wheeler on Servant Evangelism, Josef Solc on Sports Evangelism, and Darrell Robinson on The Evangelist. In addition, the book begins and ends with two different applications of Matthew's Great Commission. Mobilizing a Great Commission Church for Harvest is a gold mine of information for both pastor and deacon, as it is for students considering the importance of evangelism to local church ministry.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. You are invited to a feast for the senses and the spirit Thirty-four adventurous writers open their kitchens, their recipe files, and their hearts to illustrate the many unexpected ways that food draws us closer to God, to community, and to creation. All bring a keen eye and palette to the larger questions of the role of food--both its presence and its absence--in the life of our bodies and spirits. Their essays take us to a Canadian wheat farm, a backyard tomato garden in Cincinnati, an organic farm in Maine; into a kosher kitchen, a line of Hurricane Katrina survivors as they wait to be fed, a church basement for a thirty-hour fast; inside the translucent layers of an onion that transport us to a meditation on heaven, to a church potluck, and to many other places and ways we can experience sacramental eating. In a time of great interest and equal confusion over the place of food in our lives, this rich collection, which includes personal recipes, will delight the senses, feed the spirit, enlarge our understanding, and deepen our ability to eat and drink to the glory of God. Featuring the writings of Robert Farrar Capon, Wendell Berry, Lauren Winner, Luci Shaw, Andre Dubus, Jeanne Murray Walker, Brian Volck, and many others, INCLUDING ORIGINAL RECIPIES.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Adolescent girls between the ages of fifteen and eighteen shared with Parker and her co-authors life stories that show how they struggle to make sense of their experiences of racism, sexism, classism, and heterosexism in light of their belief in God or their concept of a higher divine power. The groups of adolescent girls interviewed include Korean Americans, African Americans, Native Americans, Latinas, working-class whites, and lesbians. The closing chapter revisits the prominent themes from each chapter, challenging those concerned about fostering a spirituality that is life giving for girls who struggle with racism, classism, sexism, and heterosexism. In addition, it explores the concepts of realization, resistance, resilience, and ritual as four essential components for nurturing a wholesome spirituality in adolescent girls Evelyn L. Parker is Assistant Professor of Christian Education at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University. She is the author of Trouble Don't Last Always: Emancipatory Hope among African American Adolescents (The Pilgrim Press, 2003).…
