The Snag of the Sword: An Exegetical Study of Luke 22:35-38
ISBN: 9783631653531 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lk 22:35-38 is peculiar because it is never proclaimed except on Palm Sunday in the Year C. Although it is a pragmatic instruction on mission, it puzzles us like the Apostles in the Upper Room. The Lord shortly before his arrest, asserting the importance of the teaching, mandates preparedness for mission in the post-resurrectional period of the Church. The shepherd must be prepared to defend the sheep under his/her care, even to the extent of being called -lawless- according to world standards. Lk 22:35-38 thus in no way contradicts the prior mission training sendings, rather endows the...

"If God cannot save me and my village from my enemy's attack, I will make idols and worship them."

This new book asks "What Prevents Christian Adults from Acting?" How has it come about that the Church appears to be so preoccupied with itself? What happened to the quest for the social justice of the Kingdom of God?
John Hull's search for understanding took him back to the prophetic tradition of the Bible, and he discovered that this has become neglected and even betrayed. Christian discipleship must be more than church-going and prayer. Christians must resist the unjust structures of society in the...

Modern Women Modernizing Men: The Changing Missions of Three Professional Women in Asia and Africa, 1902-69
ISBN: 9780774809528 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the interwar era, the world of mainstream Protestant missions was in transition. The once-dominant paradigm of separate spheres - "women's work for women" - had lost its saliency, and professional women often entered work worlds largely peopled by men. Medical missionaries Belle Chone Oliver and Florence Murray and literature specialist Margaret Wrong were three such women. Using these women's experiences in colonial India, Korea, and sub-Saharan Africa as case studies, Modern Women Modemizing Men explores how professionalism, religion, and feminism came together to enable missionary...

Saturate: Being Disciples of Jesus in the Everyday Stuff of Life

Many Christians have unwittingly embraced the idea that "church" is a once-a-week event rather than a community of Spirit-empowered people; that "ministry" is what pastors do on Sundays rather than the 24/7 calling of all believers; and that "discipleship" is a program rather than the normal state of every follower of Jesus. Drawing on his experience as a pastor and church planter, Jeff Vanderstelt wants us to see that there's more--much more--to the Christian life than sitting in a pew...

Terry Lautz, a longtime scholar of U.S.-China relations, has investigated archives, spoken with three of Birch's brothers, found letters written to the women he loved, and visited sites in China where he lived and died.
