ISBN: 9780991334582 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sustainable Church is a thorough, Bible-based exposition of how the ministry of every church should be organically built around all of the Spirit-gifted followers of Jesus within that local body.

The Church, Authority, and Foucault: Imagining the Church as an Open Space of Freedom
ISBN: 9781472474964 / Angielski / Twarda / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Church, Authority, and Foucault addresses the problem of the Church s enmeshment with sovereign power, which can lead to marginalization. Breaking new ground, Ogden uses Foucault s approach to power and knowledge to interpret the church leader s significance as the guardian of knowledge. This can become privileged knowledge, under the spell of sovereign power, and with the complicity of clergy and laity in search of sovereigns. Inevitably, such a culture leads to a sense of entitlement for leaders and conformity for followers. All in the name of obedience. The...

A Lover's Quarrel
ISBN: 9781498216876 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Joe Jones, a retired and well-known systematic theologian, confesses he has a lover's quarrel with the church. In wide-ranging writings mostly dating since 2006, he forthrightly argues for a theologically sound understanding of the church. And he pursues a multi-faceted critique of the feckless ways in which actual churches--ministers and laity--balk and betray their rightful calling to witness in word and deed to God. He is especially critical of the practical ways in which congregations become no more than mirror images of their sociopolitical milieu, whether to the right or to the left....

The Integrity of the Body of Christ
ISBN: 9781498235365 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For religious communities to have integrity and credibility they must flourish as places of love and respect. Every aspect of church life is defined and protected by essential boundaries: boundaries around space, time, thought, speech, will, emotion, and behavior--both for clergy and church members. Lack of awareness and attention to boundary keeping diminishes the integrity of the church and harms its mission, whereas insight and vigilance about best practices lend freedom and energy to the calling of the church to care for others and to reach out to the world. In a flourishing Christian...

The crucial ecclesiological question that this book raises is How? How does the church exist for sake of the world? One can describe the theological reflections in this book as a form of concrete ecclesiology--critical theological reflections on the way the church is manifested in social and historical contexts as a social body. By using concepts like body, queer, human rights, practices, social process, and space, the manifestations of the concrete church are critically and constructively analyzed from a theological perspective. The...

Compendio Teologico de la Accion Pastora: Una Sinopsis Teologica-Pastoral Enfocada En La Praxis Ministerial Para Equipar Al Ministro del Evangelio del
ISBN: 9781535278911 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "La tragedia del pueblo de Dios ha sido siempre el estar a merced de pastores no llamados ni cualificados para el ministerio," expreso en un entonces el reconocido comentarista biblico, Matthew Henry. Lamentablemente, esto se ha incrementado con el relativismo y la nueva tolerancia que ha penetrado en la Iglesia, al no predicarse acerca del pecado, la salvacion, ni de la condenacion final. De aqui la importancia de esta obra, resultado de la inquietud del Dr. Henry Alvarez, al proceder cuando un pastor amigo le pregunto si habia escrito algo que ayudase a los ministros de esta epoca. No se...

Endangered Gospel
ISBN: 9781498291682 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For centuries, Christians sought to rescue people from this world. Today, we're trying to fix it. While this shift is helpful in some ways, in other ways it can be quite dangerous. Endangered Gospel flips the script on this conversation by stressing the core gospel truth that rather than ushering in a new world through social activism, God's people already are the new world in Christ. It's not our job to make this world a better place, but to be the better place God has already made in this world. That's good news If we let go of this truth, we become servants of the world and not God. We...

Practical theology takes this seriously and asks us to reflect on our practice of ministry in both church and society. This book attends to our practice as individuals in ministry, to our corporate practice as congregations in ministry, and to our practice as Christians within the wider social and natural world. Practical Theology in Church and Society brings into sharper focus two perspectives on practical theology. One is the view through the wide-angle lens of justice-oriented action, which hopes for...

The Only Sacrament Left to Us
ISBN: 9781498226660 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Questions of ecclesiology abound, and Karl Barth has been regarded as an unhelpful conversation partner and guide for those who care about ecclesiology and the place of the church in the academic pursuit of theology. The Only Sacrament Left to Us recovers Barths doctrine of the threefold Word of God and shows that it is at the heart of Barths ecclesiological commitments, and that Barth offers a distinct and robust doctrine of the church worthy to be carried forward into the twenty-first-century debates about the churchs place in Gods economy. The book explores the central role of the...
