Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Adolescent girls are filled with passion, excitement, joy, critique, wit, and energy, even as they face and overcome a wide variety of difficult challenges. Some challenges are spirit- and even life-threatening. The stories of more than twenty… adolescent girls are put into dialogue with the Apostle Paul, especially in Rom 6-8. Through that perhaps unlikely pairing, those who love and work with adolescent girls will find a depth of understanding and a call to action. Christian educators, pastors, youth workers, parents, and adolescent girls will find a new way to look at the world around them and a new way to bring Scripture to bear on real-life experience. By offering this powerful, scripturally-grounded approach to the world around us, adolescent girls and others will learn compelling methods for putting a new perspective into action in their personal lives, social circles, and churches. This thoughtful and respectful look at the lives of adolescent girls seeks to equip faithful Christians in the church to use their prophetic voices to call out the sins of racism, sexism, homophobia, and sizeism in the experiences of these strong and resilient girls. Emily Peck-McClain is Visiting Professor of Christian Formation and Young Adult Ministries at Wesley Theological Seminary. A graduate of Union Theological Seminary in New York City and Duke Divinity School, she is an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church and member of the New York Annual Conference. 156 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Second Vatican Council (Vatican II, 1962-65) was distinctly different from other councils in one significant aspect. In all the areas it discussed, this council did not see itself as the end of a process, but rather as a beginning. It open…ed, not closed, doors--whether doctrinal or disciplinary--for ongoing reflection, for possibilities of ever-improving knowledge and understanding.Laurenti Magesa offers this book as a stimulus for African (Catholic) Christians to continue digging deeper into and benefiting from the spiritual treasures that the Council still contains. For the theologian or historian of Vatican II, some of the information may be quite familiar, but all of it is important if one is to grasp the scope, meaning, and implications of the Council for the Church and people of Africa. ''In this book, Laurenti Magesa lucidly and concisely articulates the significance, timeliness, and importance of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), with particular reference to Africa. He persuasively emphasizes that the Vatican II agenda of aggiornamento, or updating, is still relevant in Africa, particularly as a strategy for rooting the Christian faith in African soil. He emphatically pleads for urgent placement of the African cultural and religious heritage at the center of African Christianity.'' --Jesse N. K. Mugambi, University of Nairobi ''The Council is long over. The Fathers have gone home, mostly to Paradise. The Jubilee came and went. The corks popped. The speeches were made. Now it's time for evaluation. Magesa's sober survey of the lasting effects of Vatican II on the Church in Africa gives cause for hope, frustration, profound appreciation, and renewed commitment.'' --Peter Knox, the Jesuit School of Theology, Hekima University College, Nairobi Laurenti Magesa is a priest of the Catholic Diocese of Musoma in Tanzania. He teaches theology at Hekima University College Jesuit School of Theology, Tangaza University College, and the Maryknoll Institute of African Studies of St. Mary's University (MIASMU) in Nairobi, Kenya.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Theological Issues in Christian-Muslim Dialogue addresses the main theological topics of discussion that appear in Christian-Muslim engagement. Many of these topics originate in the medieval period and the earliest encounters between Christian…s and Muslims. Even so, the topics persist in contemporary contexts of dialogue and engagement. Christians and Muslims still discuss whether or not God should be understood as strictly one or as a Trinity-in-Unity, and debates over the nature of revelation or prophethood remain. Theological reflection, therefore, must continue to be brought to bear on these topics in light of their history and in view of their applicability to growing contexts of inter-religious engagement. Theological Issues in Christian-Muslim Dialogue is a comprehensive theological sourcebook for students learning about Christian-Muslim relations and practitioners engaged in Christian-Muslim dialogue.'Readers in search of a superb overview of theological themes essential to understanding and fostering serious Muslim-Christian intellectual engagement will find this new collection helpful and encouraging. Contributors of richly diverse backgrounds and scholarly interests forthrightly address a full spectrum of historically contentious issues, neither oversimplifying nor exaggerating the challenges they continue to present. Along the way, readers also get a sense of the multiple perspectives that emerge from within both larger Muslim and Christian constituencies over the ages.'John Renard, Saint Louis University'Driven to win at any cost, encounters between Christians and Muslims typically ignore the central aim of both religions to find truth and apply it. These essays look again at well-known points of disagreement, assess them objectively, and offer refreshing new approaches to them.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Multi-denominational congregations offer rich soil for new interpretations of what it means to be a church. These parishes have chosen to covenant together for worship, service, ministry, mission, and nurturing of faith across two or more deno…minational traditions. Daring to Share tells their stories, investigates their practices, and proposes a fresh vision of church for the twenty-first century. This book equips ordained and lay leaders for the formation and flourishing of such ministries. It describes five models of partnership, analyzes the parish life cycle, interprets how worship works, addresses constitutional and governance issues, and reflects theologically on the intersection of diversity and unity.What can we learn from these congregations Studying their particular witness, struggles, and promise for the future fills a gap in both congregational studies and contemporary ecclesiology. Multi-denominational parishes are more than a convenient way to revitalize congregational ministry. They present new opportunities and approaches for sharing the gospel. Ecumenical convergence meets demographic realities to suggest a mission strategy that will transform local practice and, perhaps, the church itself. By daring to share, these churches challenge a fractured world.''The work of Beardsall, Budde, and McDonald casts a valuable spotlight on imaginative Christian congregations and provides a welcome update to the literature of a bold ecumenical enterprise on the ground. It is a practical guide for people who want to try the experiment of multiple denominational churches, a critique of some of the real difficulties, and an inspiration through stories.''Alyson Barnett-Cowan, President, Canadian Council of Churches''Throughout church history, Christians have been creative in ministering to the needs of people. . . . In Daring to Share, the authors--Beardsall, Budde, and McDonald--advocate on behalf of a growing trend among Christians, namely, churches sharing in ministry. . . . The authors draw upon interviews with church leaders about real-life experiences of congregations sharing resources for ministry.''Don Thorsen, Azusa Pacific University SeminarySandra Beardsall is Professor of Church History and Ecumenics at St. Andrew's College in Saskatoon, Canada.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Orthodox Church has been characterized by some as ''the best-kept secret in North America.'' Making use of personal interviews and correspondence, magazine and news articles, and other publications, Timothy Cremeens weaves the story of a s…piritual renewal movement that began in the United States in the early 1960s and rapidly spread around the globe touching millions of Roman Catholics and Protestants, what is today called the Charismatic Renewal Movement. In 2017, this Movement, celebrated its 50th Jubilee anniversary in the Roman Catholic Church. However, Cremeens presents here the never-before heard story of that Movement among the Orthodox Churches in North America. He recounts the history of this spiritual renewal movement through the first-hand accounts and eyewitnesses of Orthodox clergy and laity who testify to their life-changing encounters with the Holy Spirit. ''This book is the first in its kind and has at least two important implications: theologically, Orthodox Charismatics can robustly explore a rich link between marginality and the Spirit's empowering presence, and globally, the research can encourage similar studies from around the world forging a network of Orthodox Charismatics.'' --Wonsuk Ma, Professor of Global Christianity, Graduate School of Theology and Ministry, Oral Roberts University Timothy Cremeens, an ordained Orthodox priest, is Dean and Pastor of Holy Resurrection Orthodox Cathedral (Orthodox Church in America) in Wilkes Barre, PA. He serves as the Interim Dean of Grace Graduate School of Ministry, Twin Falls, ID, Adjunct Instructor of Theology at King's College, Wilkes Barre, PA, and Instructor in Church History at William Seymour College, Lanham, MD. 210 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We are increasingly conscious of the significance of our body language in our everyday interactions. The writers of the Bible were also aware of the role this nonverbal form of communication played and have recorded aspects of this in their na…rratives, or used idioms based on such gestures as head or hand movements, eye contact, and modes of dress. As with spoken or written language, postures and gestures need to be interpreted against a cultural background. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this rich world of nonverbal communication in the Old and New Testaments for the general reader and scholar alike.'In this fascinating volume John Davies draws attention to the importance of nonverbal communication in the Bible and its world by presenting a very rich survey of biblical and non-biblical sources. He demonstrates how attention to this important aspect of communication can add an extra dimension to understanding the Old and New Testaments. I recommend it to all readers of the Bible, who will learn much from this book.'Ian Young, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies and Classical Hebrew, University of SydneyJohn A. Davies is Principal Emeritus of Christ College, Sydney, Australia. 214 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Gospel of Mark portrays Jesus making impossible demands on his disciples. They must follow him even if it costs them their lives. And, unsurprisingly, this proves to be impossible for them to do. They fail drastically in Mark's narrative a…nd run from the scene as Jesus is arrested. Peter had been determined to stay by him unto death, but even he was not able to admit to knowing Jesus at that crucial moment. The strange thing is that Jesus made it clear that it is impossible to enter the Kingdom of God without this sort of radical discipleship. In this narrative study of salvation in the Gospel of Mark, this conundrum is studied closely with surprising results. An investigation of various socio-historical aspects of Mark's background elucidate the connection that Mark makes between the death of Jesus and the following of the disciples. And a study of Mark's narrative as a whole shows that Mark provides hope for those without courage to follow. If they continue to look and listen carefully, the mystery will be unveiled to them. ''In this deceptively penetrating narrative reading of Mark, Markusse-Overduin makes convincing connections between participation in the suffering of the Son of Man and Mark's path of salvation. Amongst her many contributions is the narratival demonstration that through the death of Jesus, the obedience-enabling Spirit makes following Jesus in cross-bearing discipleship possible. An excellent, theological reading of Mark based on creative narrative rereading.'' --Kent Brower, Nazarene Theological College This book is based on Gabi Markusse's PhD thesis completed at the University of Manchester in 2013. 218 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Music, by its indeterminate levels of meaning, poses a necessary challenge to a theology bound up in words. Its distinctive nature as temporal and embodied allows a unique point of access to theological understanding. Yet music does not exist…in a cultural vacuum, conveying universal truths, but is a part of the complex nature of human lives. This understanding of music as theology stems from a conviction that music is a theological means of knowing: knowing something indeterminate, yet meaningful. This is an exploration of the means by which music might say something otherwise unsayable, and in doing so, allow for an encounter with the mystery of God. ''Believers' unanswered questions often lead to them becoming confused Christians. Written in an informative and engaging manner, this book answers many of those questions. Readers will join the author on a journey of learning more about the Christian faith. This book will be a valuable asset to pastors, teachers, and other ministry leaders who find themselves wanting to share the faith in ways that are understood by all.'' --Marsha Brown Woodard, Director of Supervised Ministries, Palmer Theological Seminary ''This is a brave, creative, and necessary book. Music and theology so interweave as to make a theology more embodied, and our embodiment in music an anticipation of ultimate resurrection.'' --Anthony Kelly, Professor of Theology, Australian Catholic University ''How does music make theological meaning Danielle Lynch listens carefully to specific musical works in their contexts, to theologies of music, and to theologies of popular culture, to develop a nuanced and perceptive account of theology in music--in which the listener has a central role. Her work in turn deserves attentive listening and creative responses from anyone interested in the relationships between theology, culture, and the arts.'' --Rachel Muers, Senior Lecturer in Christian Studies, University of Leeds ''Danielle Lynch's God in Sound and Silence explores the revelatory potential of the embodied experience of music. Unpacking the notions of transcendence, sacramentality, and liminality she brings key theological figures into dialogue with current thought on culture and the contextual nature of musical meaning. This framework bears fruit in her insightful exploration of major pieces of music from the classical, romantic, and modern eras, with the Requiem as a golden thread.'' --Maeve Heaney, Musician, Lecturer in Theology, Australian Catholic University Danielle Anne Lynch is Director of Mission at St Augustine's College, Cairns, and a member of the Australian Catholic Theological Association. Her doctorate on a theology of music was awarded by the University of Leeds in 2015. 234 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Kevin Keating examines the major writings of the Roman Pontiffs from Pius IX in the last half of the nineteenth century to the most recent writings of Francis. He explores the shift in papal focus from internal church matters and attacks on mo…dern thought to concern for matters affecting all of humanity--not just spiritually, but socially, politically, and economically as well. Looming over all of these teachings is the specter of the doctrine of infallibility. First defined in 1870 to cover only papal infallibility, it would be expanded in the 1960s to include the exercise of infallibility by the worldwide college of bishops.Keating discusses the most significant themes dealt with by popes during this period--the Bible, religious freedom, church-state relations, social doctrine, human sexuality, ecumenism, and interreligious dialogue. He describes how papal teaching has changed, developed, and even been contradicted by later popes, although they have failed to expressly acknowledge departures from prior teaching. He details how the doctrine of infallibility, far from serving to bolster the credibility of papal teaching, often has served to undermine it. ''Kevin Keating may not be infallible, but his careful, lawyer-like review of the doctrine of infallibility informs, instructs, and challenges. Vatican II introduced the bishops as a competing platform in matters of faith and morals. The jury is still out whether this strengthens the institutional church or divides it. One thing is certain--Keating's book deserves serious study by those seeking to understand the church in the twenty-first century.'' --Douglas W. Kmiec, United States Ambassador (ret.) Kevin T. Keating is a Chicago-area attorney. He practiced law for almost three decades in the areas of commercial litigation, creditors' rights, and corporate bankruptcy, handling trials and appeals in both state and federal courts. Prior to his legal career, he had obtained an MA in philosophical theology from Graduate Theological Union and pursued additional graduate study at the University of Chicago Divinity School. 302 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Preachers often think of prophetic preaching in the caricature of the prophet as the lonely outsider confronting the congregation, often angrily, with the congregation's complicity in social injustice and with a bracing call for repentance. Th…e twenty-seven essays and sermons in this book offer a different perspective by viewing prophetic preaching specifically--and ministry, practical theology, and theological education more broadly--as pastoral care for the community in prophetic perspective. Such preaching does indeed bring a critical theological analysis of justice concerns to the center of the sermon, but in such a way as to invite the congregation to consider how the move toward justice is a pastoral move-- that is, a move that seeks to build up community. Rather than contributing to the polarization so rampant in today's social world, the preacher seeks to help the congregation build bridges along which concern for justice can travel. The contributions honor the work of the late Dale Andrews, a scholar of preaching and practical theology at the Divinity School, Vanderbilt University, whose seminal work inspires the notions of prophetic care and building bridges to justice.''This collection of essays is a deep and richly nuanced testimony to homiletician Dale Andrews, his scholarly work and personal witness. I especially appreciate the conversations regarding the bridges between the pastoral and the prophetic in preaching, between personal piety and social justice in the life of congregations, and the ways in which these bridges can be manifest both in the practice of preaching as well as its pedagogy. Undergirding the entire volume is Andrews's own deep commitment to racial and social justice in all its forms. This is a great resource for thoughtful pastors, scholars, and teachers of preaching.''Leonora Tubbs Tisdale, Clement-Muehl Professor of Homiletics, Yale Divinity SchoolPhillis-Isabella Sheppard is Associate Professor of Religion, Psychology and Culture at the Divinity School, and Graduate Department of Religion, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee.Dawn Ottoni-Wilhelm is Brightbill Professor of Preaching and Worship at Bethany Theological Seminary, Richmond, Indiana.Ronald J.

By daring to share, these churches challenge a fractured world.''The work of Beardsall, Budde, and McDonald casts a valuable spotlight on imaginative Christian congregations and provides a welcome update to the literature of a bold ecumenical enterprise on the ground. It is a practical guide for people who want to try the experiment of multiple denominational churches, a critique of some of the real difficulties, and an inspiration through stories.''Alyson Barnett-Cowan, President, Canadian Council of Churches''Throughout church history, Christians have been creative in ministering to the needs of people. . . . In Daring to Share, the authors--Beardsall, Budde, and McDonald--advocate on behalf of a growing trend among Christians, namely, churches sharing in ministry. . . . The authors draw upon interviews with church leaders about real-life experiences of congregations sharing resources for ministry.''Don Thorsen, Azusa Pacific University SeminarySandra Beardsall is Professor of Church History and Ecumenics at St. Andrew's College in Saskatoon, Canada.

The writers of the Bible were also aware of the role this nonverbal form of communication played and have recorded aspects of this in their narrat…ives, or used idioms based on such gestures as head or hand movements, eye contact, and modes of dress. As with spoken or written language, postures and gestures need to be interpreted against a cultural background. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this rich world of nonverbal communication in the Old and New Testaments for the general reader and scholar alike.'In this fascinating volume John Davies draws attention to the importance of nonverbal communication in the Bible and its world by presenting a very rich survey of biblical and non-biblical sources. He demonstrates how attention to this important aspect of communication can add an extra dimension to understanding the Old and New Testaments. I recommend it to all readers of the Bible, who will learn much from this book.'Ian Young, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies and Classical Hebrew, University of SydneyJohn A. Davies is Principal Emeritus of Christ College, Sydney, Australia.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 214 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The Orthodox Church has been characterized by some as ''the best-kept secret in North America.'' Making use of personal interviews and correspondence, magazine and news articles, and other publications, Timothy Cremeens weaves the story of a spiri…tual renewal movement that began in the United States in the early 1960s and rapidly spread around the globe touching millions of Roman Catholics and Protestants, what is today called the Charismatic Renewal Movement. In 2017, this Movement, celebrated its 50th Jubilee anniversary in the Roman Catholic Church. However, Cremeens presents here the never-before heard story of that Movement among the Orthodox Churches in North America. He recounts the history of this spiritual renewal movement through the first-hand accounts and eyewitnesses of Orthodox clergy and laity who testify to their life-changing encounters with the Holy Spirit. ''This book is the first in its kind and has at least two important implications: theologically, Orthodox Charismatics can robustly explore a rich link between marginality and the Spirit's empowering presence, and globally, the research can encourage similar studies from around the world forging a network of Orthodox Charismatics.'' --Wonsuk Ma, Professor of Global Christianity, Graduate School of Theology and Ministry, Oral Roberts University Timothy Cremeens, an ordained Orthodox priest, is Dean and Pastor of Holy Resurrection Orthodox Cathedral (Orthodox Church in America) in Wilkes Barre, PA.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The Gospel of Mark portrays Jesus making impossible demands on his disciples. They must follow him even if it costs them their lives. And, unsurprisingly, this proves to be impossible for them to do. They fail drastically in Mark's narrative and r…un from the scene as Jesus is arrested. Peter had been determined to stay by him unto death, but even he was not able to admit to knowing Jesus at that crucial moment. The strange thing is that Jesus made it clear that it is impossible to enter the Kingdom of God without this sort of radical discipleship. In this narrative study of salvation in the Gospel of Mark, this conundrum is studied closely with surprising results. An investigation of various socio-historical aspects of Mark's background elucidate the connection that Mark makes between the death of Jesus and the following of the disciples. And a study of Mark's narrative as a whole shows that Mark provides hope for those without courage to follow. If they continue to look and listen carefully, the mystery will be unveiled to them. ''In this deceptively penetrating narrative reading of Mark, Markusse-Overduin makes convincing connections between participation in the suffering of the Son of Man and Mark's path of salvation. Amongst her many contributions is the narratival demonstration that through the death of Jesus, the obedience-enabling Spirit makes following Jesus in cross-bearing discipleship possible. An excellent, theological reading of Mark based on creative narrative rereading.'' --Kent Brower, Nazarene Theological College This book is based on Gabi Markusse's PhD thesis completed at the University of Manchester in 2013.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 218 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Music, by its indeterminate levels of meaning, poses a necessary challenge to a theology bound up in words. Its distinctive nature as temporal and embodied allows a unique point of access to theological understanding. Yet music does not exist in a… cultural vacuum, conveying universal truths, but is a part of the complex nature of human lives. This understanding of music as theology stems from a conviction that music is a theological means of knowing: knowing something indeterminate, yet meaningful. This is an exploration of the means by which music might say something otherwise unsayable, and in doing so, allow for an encounter with the mystery of God. ''Believers' unanswered questions often lead to them becoming confused Christians. Written in an informative and engaging manner, this book answers many of those questions. Readers will join the author on a journey of learning more about the Christian faith. This book will be a valuable asset to pastors, teachers, and other ministry leaders who find themselves wanting to share the faith in ways that are understood by all.'' --Marsha Brown Woodard, Director of Supervised Ministries, Palmer Theological Seminary ''This is a brave, creative, and necessary book. Music and theology so interweave as to make a theology more embodied, and our embodiment in music an anticipation of ultimate resurrection.'' --Anthony Kelly, Professor of Theology, Australian Catholic University ''How does music make theological meaning Danielle Lynch listens carefully to specific musical works in their contexts, to theologies of music, and to theologies of popular culture, to develop a nuanced and perceptive account of theology in music--in which the listener has a central role. Her work in turn deserves attentive listening and creative responses from anyone interested in the relationships between theology, culture, and the arts.'' --Rachel Muers, Senior Lecturer in Christian Studies, University of Leeds ''Danielle Lynch's God in Sound and Silence explores the revelatory potential of the embodied experience of music. Unpacking the notions of transcendence, sacramentality, and liminality she brings key theological figures into dialogue with current thought on culture and the contextual nature of musical meaning. This framework bears fruit in her insightful exploration of major pieces of music from the classical, romantic, and modern eras, with the Requiem as a golden thread.'' --Maeve Heaney, Musician, Lecturer in Theology, Australian Catholic University Danielle Anne Lynch is Director of Mission at St Augustine's College, Cairns, and a member of the Australian Catholic Theological Association. Her doctorate on a theology of music was awarded by the University of Leeds in 2015.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 234 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Kevin Keating examines the major writings of the Roman Pontiffs from Pius IX in the last half of the nineteenth century to the most recent writings of Francis. He explores the shift in papal focus from internal church matters and attacks on modern… thought to concern for matters affecting all of humanity--not just spiritually, but socially, politically, and economically as well. Looming over all of these teachings is the specter of the doctrine of infallibility. First defined in 1870 to cover only papal infallibility, it would be expanded in the 1960s to include the exercise of infallibility by the worldwide college of bishops.Keating discusses the most significant themes dealt with by popes during this period--the Bible, religious freedom, church-state relations, social doctrine, human sexuality, ecumenism, and interreligious dialogue. He describes how papal teaching has changed, developed, and even been contradicted by later popes, although they have failed to expressly acknowledge departures from prior teaching. He details how the doctrine of infallibility, far from serving to bolster the credibility of papal teaching, often has served to undermine it. ''Kevin Keating may not be infallible, but his careful, lawyer-like review of the doctrine of infallibility informs, instructs, and challenges. Vatican II introduced the bishops as a competing platform in matters of faith and morals. The jury is still out whether this strengthens the institutional church or divides it. One thing is certain--Keating's book deserves serious study by those seeking to understand the church in the twenty-first century.'' --Douglas W. Kmiec, United States Ambassador (ret.) Kevin T. Keating is a Chicago-area attorney. He practiced law for almost three decades in the areas of commercial litigation, creditors' rights, and corporate bankruptcy, handling trials and appeals in both state and federal courts. Prior to his legal career, he had obtained an MA in philosophical theology from Graduate Theological Union and pursued additional graduate study at the University of Chicago Divinity School.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 302 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Preachers often think of prophetic preaching in the caricature of the prophet as the lonely outsider confronting the congregation, often angrily, with the congregation's complicity in social injustice and with a bracing call for repentance. The tw…enty-seven essays and sermons in this book offer a different perspective by viewing prophetic preaching specifically--and ministry, practical theology, and theological education more broadly--as pastoral care for the community in prophetic perspective. Such preaching does indeed bring a critical theological analysis of justice concerns to the center of the sermon, but in such a way as to invite the congregation to consider how the move toward justice is a pastoral move-- that is, a move that seeks to build up community. Rather than contributing to the polarization so rampant in today's social world, the preacher seeks to help the congregation build bridges along which concern for justice can travel. The contributions honor the work of the late Dale Andrews, a scholar of preaching and practical theology at the Divinity School, Vanderbilt University, whose seminal work inspires the notions of prophetic care and building bridges to justice.''This collection of essays is a deep and richly nuanced testimony to homiletician Dale Andrews, his scholarly work and personal witness. I especially appreciate the conversations regarding the bridges between the pastoral and the prophetic in preaching, between personal piety and social justice in the life of congregations, and the ways in which these bridges can be manifest both in the practice of preaching as well as its pedagogy. Undergirding the entire volume is Andrews's own deep commitment to racial and social justice in all its forms. This is a great resource for thoughtful pastors, scholars, and teachers of preaching.''Leonora Tubbs Tisdale, Clement-Muehl Professor of Homiletics, Yale Divinity SchoolPhillis-Isabella Sheppard is Associate Professor of Religion, Psychology and Culture at the Divinity School, and Graduate Department of Religion, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee.Dawn Ottoni-Wilhelm is Brightbill Professor of Preaching and Worship at Bethany Theological Seminary, Richmond, Indiana.Ronald J.
