Theology for Practical Christian Living $22.99 “This book is written to express the paramount importance of understanding systematic theology in a way that impacts the lives of believers on a daily basis. My passion is to encourage God’s people to become Christ-centered with a dedicated and loyal heart to Him which will lead them to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world. Therefore, one motive for writing this book is to help believers to cultivate a closer relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ through the study of the Word of God. It is also my desire that unbelievers will come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior through reading this book. My prayer is that believers will come to understand that God expects them to study and meditate in His Word daily and to apply His Word to their lives moment-by-moment. Dr. McCune graduated with a Bachelor degree in Psychology and Biblical Counseling, a Masters degree in Theology, and a Ph.D. in Theology.

Practical Theology: On Earth as It Is in Heaven $28 “”Practical theology” has recently emerged as a distinctive approach to the theological task. It is concerned with the way theological task. It is concerned with the way theological activity engages wider social, cultural, and ecclesial issues. Rather than seeing itself as a “branch” of theology, practical theology is a distinctive theological, sensibility that highlights the ever-present need to “read the signs of the times” in the light of the Gospel message and the Christian tradition. Veling begins his work by sketching the main contours of practical theology. He proceeds to explore some of its key elements (interpretation, context, scripture, tradition) before reflecting on the deeper role of theology in church and society.” |

Theology Of Christian Counseling $18.99 “A Theology of Christian Counseling is a book that connects biblical doctrine with practical living. Salvation, that central concern of Protestant theology, is often too narrowly defined. It is thought to be “being saved from the consequences of sin.” But God is doing much more. He is making something new out of the old sinful nature. He is, in Christ, making new creatures. “No counseling system that is based on some other foundation can begin to offer what Christian counseling offers . . . No matter what the problem is, no matter how greatly sin has abounded, the Christian counselor’s stance is struck by the far-more-abounding nature of the grace of Jesus Christ in redemption. What a difference this makes in counseling!” In this book the reader will gain an insight into the rich theological framework that supports and directs a biblical approach to counseling. And the connection between solid theology and practical application will become compelling. This is a one-of-a-kind. Don’t ignore it!” |

Fundamental Practical Theology $21 “The most concerted account yet of how the churches’ practice might organize theological inquiry as a whole. Browning has opened up important lines of inquiry that merit further investigation.” –Craig L. Nessan Southeast Missouri State University “Don Browning manifests a masterful interaction with the current literature on the burgeoning field of practical theology. This book is indispensable reading for anyone engaged in the question of theology’s relationship to thought and action today.” –Mary Ellen Sheehan Toronto Journal of Theology” |

Practical Theology: An Introduction $25 “Every church congregation encounters challenging situations, some the same the world over, and others specific to each church. Richard Osmer here seeks to teach congregational leaders – including, but not limited to, clergy – the requisite knowledge and skills to meet such situations with sensitivity and creativity. >Osmer develops a framework for practical theological interpretation in congregations by focusing on four key questions: What is going on in a given context? Why is this going on? What ought to be going on? and How might the leader shape the context to better embody Christian witness and mission? >The book is unique in its attention to interdisciplinary issues and the ways that theological reflection is grounded in the spirituality of leaders. Useful, accessible, and lively – with lots of specific examples and case studies – Osmer’s Practical Theology effectively equips congregational leaders to guide their communities with theological integrity.” |

Practical Theology For Black Churches $25 “The rift between black theology, with its social and political concerns, and black churches, with their emphasis on pastoral care and piety, has been growing. Andrew’s offers a way to bridge this gap by redefining the paradigm of church as “refuge” in terms of faith identity that brings together a concern for liberation with a pastoral focus on spirituality. This faith identity emerges from the biblical themes of creation and imago dei, the Exodus narrative, the suffering of Jesus and conversion, and eschatology and the kingdom of God. Andrews’s insightful analysis of the gulf between black churches and black theology reveals the invasive influence of individualism in black religious life as well as the shared values for social change and care of the soul. Notably, it is this influence of individualism that has disrupted communal solidarity and brought about the neglect of liberation ethics within black church life. This practical theology will contribute greatly towards renewing the pastoral and prophetic ministry of black religious life.” |

Rethinking Faith: A Constructive Practical Theology $25 “What can practical theology contribute to other theological disciplines and the church about the nature of God and the church’s witness to Jesus Christ in the world? What can we learn about the love and power of God in Jesus Christ from the community of survivors of violence? Rethinking Faith urges all Christians to consider themselves practical theologians by drawing on their own experiences in making theological assertions. Poling couples his understanding of the tradition with his work with survivors of violence to demonstrate the resilience of Christianity.”Jim Poling offers one of the most comprehensive and creative books on practical theology in many years. He exemplifies the best qualities of constructive practical theology. The book is timely, socially engaged, and intellectually rich. It will set the standard for practical theology in the coming decades.”-Richard OsmerThomas W. Synnott Professor of Christian EducationPrinceton Theological Seminary”This is an extraordinary book-an almost poetic interplay between Jim Poling’s own statement of faith and a richly developed systematic practical theology that draws from feminist theology, Process theology, and the personal stories of people significantly affected by violence. This book will appeal to readers ranging from interested lay people to practicing ministers and academicians as it takes them deeper into their own theological constructions. Rethinking Faith is both inspiring and educational. I highly recommend it.”-Christie Cozad NeugerDirector of the Institute for the Support of Pastoral MinistriesSenior Scholar in Pastoral Care, United Theological Seminary”Rethinking Faith is a brilliant and compelling culmination of a life-long devotion to bridging scholarship, pastoral care, and social justice by one of the leading thinkers in practical theology. Using the central constructs of relationship, ambiguity, and resiliency, Poling inspires new understandings of the generative connections between life in the world and Christian beliefs. The reader will be heartened by the courage, resiliency and power of love in the lives of those portrayed in this book. Through their stories, Poling demonstrates how the central Christian doctrines of God, humanity, nature, sin, evil, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the church can become the basis for faith-practices in a world grasping for alternatives to violence and injustice. Pastors, religious leaders, seminarians, pastoral caregivers, and communities of faith will be inspired and guided by this personal, profound and usable book.”-Larry Kent Graham, Ph. D.Professor of Pastoral Theology and CareIliff School of TheologyDenver, CO” |

For Life Abundant: Practical Theology, Theological Education, and Christian Ministry $28 “What does it mean to lead a truly “life-giving way of life”? What kinds of learning and teaching will best prepare ministers to foster such a way of life in their congregations? How might teachers of practical theology best understand and undertake their task to educate and form ministers? Respected scholars and ministers explore such questions in For Life Abundant, probing and clarifying the significance of practical theology in the classroom, in the wider academy, and in actual ministry settings. >Contributors: Dorothy C. Bass>Kathleen A. Cahalan>David D. Daniels III>Craig Dykstra>Serene Jones>Thomas G. Long>Peter W. Marty>Gordon S. Mikoski>Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore>James R. Nieman>Christian R. Scharen>Ted A.

Practical Theology: History, Theory, Action Domains $45 “This work by a leading figure in the field offers one of the first attempts to formulate a complete theory of practical theology for scholars, teachers, students, and those directly involved in pastoral ministry.. “Designed to serve as a reference tool, this volume provides the necessary theoretical discussion for work in the entire discipline of practical theology. Gerben Heitink first surveys the historical development of practical theology from the thought of Schleiermacher to the present. He then outlines the theoretical aspects of practical theology, looking especially at the hermeneutical, empirical, and strategic points of view. Finally Heitink discusses the various contexts in which practical theology takes place.” |

For a Glory and a Covering: A Practical Theology of Marriage $15 “”Lord, here am I. Change him.” “God, I’m trying. She started it.” Common claims but they’re so far from Trinitarian life. We invoke Christ at the wedding then seem to default to an alien theology afterward. In this simple and practical book, Doug Wilson offers a richer and more comprehensive theology of marriage than in his prior works. Here he grounds marriage in the life of the Trinity and in the life of the church. Marriage is intended to be a glorious picture of the gospel, and marriages grounded elsewhere regularly create a small hell on earth. Don’t miss the riches of marriage.” |

Welcoming Children: A Practical Theology of Childhood $29.99 “Welcoming Children develops a theology of childhood both from a theological perspective and from practical experience in children and youth ministry. The author draws insights from classic and modern feminist theologians, pastoral theologians, and contemporary cultural criticism to offer strategies for educational and liturgical practices in congregations that welcome children and contribute to their flourishing. Mercer outlines a feminist practical theology of childhood exploring five basic theological claims: 1) children as gifts and parenting as a religious practice of stewardship; 2) welcoming those who care for children; 3) children as fully human; 4) children as part of God’s purposes; and 5) acknowledging and transforming the sufferings of children. Her compelling argument reframes ministries with children as processes through which the church can become the foundation for children forming identities that resist consumerist culture and instead walk in the ways of Jesus.” |

The Challenge of Practical Theology $34.95 This collection of key writings by Stephen Pattison examines the implicit and explicit beliefs and value systems that guide practice in both religious and non-religious organisations. Pattison draws on experience from his work in many different settings – including community service volunteering, working as a psychiatric hospital chaplain, NHS management and lecturing on pastoral studies – to promote a personal, practical, political and popular approach to theology, which stresses the importance of responsibility and contemporaneity. Broadly themed sections address issues of ethics and value in practice, organisation and management, Christian thought and practice, theology and the Christian tradition, and pastoral and practical theology studies. The author takes a critical stance towards traditional religious thought and practice, and argues the need for reform to make theology more generally accessible and relevant. This volume will be inspirational reading for, among others, care workers, clergy, managers, nurses, counsellors and doctors, as well as students and those involved in the academic study of theology. |

Feminist Mysticism and Images of God: A Practical Theology $24.99 “Feminist Theologians often claim that “women’s experience” is their starting point. However, most feminist theology is remarkably void of analysis of particular women’s experiences of imaging God. Knight provides practical recommendations to help people transform images in the context of religious practices.” |

The Consolations of Theology $16 “This volume is a primer on the ways theology can be of practical value both to fledgling Christians and to those who’ve been in the faith for so long that they’ve lost sight of the basics. According to Brian Rosner, the great theologians in the history of the church have always found that theology affords genuine comfort in the face of life’s difficulties. In The Consolations of Theology Rosner and other practical theologians present a compelling blend of biography and theology that profoundly addresses the range of human suffering. > >Contents and contributors: >Introduction: On Consolation> Gwenfair Adams> Lactantius on Anger> Richard Gibson Augustine on Obsession> Andrew Cameron Luther on Despair> Mark Thompson Kierkegaard on Anxiety> Peter Bolt Bonhoeffer on Disappointment> Brian Rosner C. S. Lewis on Pain> Robert Banks” |

Integrative Theology $69.99 “This study is a new and distinctive approach to theology. It integrates the historical, biblical, systematic, apologetic, and practical fields. Integrative theology involves six steps: 1. Defining a distinct problem or subject for inquiry 2. Learning alternative approaches to the topic 3. Articulating a coherent summary of Old and New Testament teaching 4. Formulating a cohesive doctrine and relating it to other biblical doctrines and other knowledge 5. Defending the doctrine 6. Applying the doctrine as a driving force for Christian life and ministry. The complete three-book set now has been brought together in one volume to address the following topics: Book One: Knowing Ultimate Reality: The Living God – Book Two: Our Primary Need: Christ’s Atoning Provisions – Book Three: Spirit-Given Life: God’s People Present and Future.” |

The Shape of Practical Theology: Empowering Ministry with Theological Praxis $27.99 “Too often in the life of the church, theological reflection and the practical matters of leading and serving have been considered independently. The result has been the impoverishment of both Christian faith and practice. In this groundbreaking book Ray Anderson lays out a new and renewing foundation for engaging in Christian ministry. Illuminated by stimulating discussion and case studies, the book sheds light on how such a biblically informed and integrated approach addresses pressing real-life issues in the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.” |
|
|
Ministry on the Fireline: A Practical Theology for an Empowered Church $26 “”The best theory for fighting fires comes from actually engaging in the battle against the flames,” Ray Anderson writes. “For the thousands of pastors and church leaders who are on the ‘firelines’ of God’s mission in the world, we need a theology that sings, even as it stings, igniting the mind and stirring the heart.”In these pages, then, Anderson passionately sets forth a vision of the church’s work and mission based on its birthday: Pentecost. At Pentecost, Christians were given the Holy Spirit in order to understand the incarnation and come alive to God. So this key event directs and empowers the church in its service to the world.In the light of Pentecost we learn that we can come to know God only in praxis — truth discovered through action. In the process of elucidating this praxis, Anderson seeks to construct a theology that not only truly respects and aids ministers on the firelines, but will also heal the breach between Pentecostal and mainline church theology.” |

Faith in History and Society: Toward a Practical Fundamental Theology $34 “This now classic book presented on the 30th anniversary of its first appearance is universally acknowledged as the great classic of Metz’s remarkable career, and indeed of all political theology. It is presented here in a new translation with an extensive study guide for readers and teachers.” |
|
|
Speaking God’s Words: A Practical Theology of Preaching $19.95 “There are many books on preaching, but few, if any, on the theology of preaching. Yet, whether it is recognized or not, theology underlies any preaching that claims to be biblical. In Speaking God’s Words Peter Adam builds confidence in preaching by laying a firm theological foundation for it. Preaching rests upon three great pillars: God has spoken, his words are now recorded in Scripture and he commissions people “to explain, preach and teach his written words to their contemporaries.” Throughout the book, using well-chosen illustrations, Dr Adam encourages preachers to give themselves to the demanding yet thrilling task of “preaching God’s words” today.” |

Developing a Public Faith: New Directions in Practical Theology $35.99 “This collection of fifteen essays honors James Fowler, the best-known voice on faith development. Each essay explores faith development theory with a particular interest in extending Fowler’s most original idea: the way that faith at different stages can be public–shared outside the particular congregation. Fowler’s broad and encompassing attention to the four mutually influential tasks of practical theology has mirrored new understandings of the field of the last few decades. These four tasks are echoed in the four main parts of this book: the descriptive-empirical (What is going on?), the interpretive (Why is this going on?), the normative, (What forms ought religious praxis take in this particular social context?), and the pragmatic (How might this area of praxis be shaped to more fully embody the normative commitments of a religious tradition in this particular context of experience?)” |

Life in God: John Calvin, Practical Formation, and the Future of Protestant Theology $28 “Contemplates Calvin?’s Institutes as practical spiritual theology >Readers of John Calvin?’s Institutes of the Christian Religion often regard this masterwork of doctrine as a cold, sterile, and merely intellectual project. But Matthew Myer Boulton reads it very differently, arguing that for Calvin, Christian doctrine is properly conceived and articulated primarily for the sake of practical Christian formation the immersive, restorative training for wholeness and holiness embodied in the church?’s disciplinary treasury. >Although Calvin famously opposed the cloister, Boulton shows that his purpose was not the eradication but the democratization of monastic spiritual disciplines. Just as Calvin endorsed the priesthood of all believers, so too did he envision that ordinary disciples could live with God daily, consecrate themselves to the art of knowing God, and embrace spiritually formative practices including scriptural and theological study, daily prayer and worship, regular Psalm singing, frequent reception of the Lord?’s Supper, renunciation of the world, rigorous moral accountability, and the like.” |
|
|
Theology the Lutheran Way $32 “Rather than asking if theology is theoretical or practical ? a question that reveals a fundamental lack of understanding about the nature of theology in general ? it is better to ask “What exactly is theology?” It is this question that Oswald Bayer attempts to answer in Theology the Lutheran Way, clearing up misconceptions about the essence of theology. Along with Luther himself, Bayer claims that theology, rather than being something that we do, is really what God does. >Based primarily on the third section of Bayer’s original German work of the same title, this book evaluates certain approaches to theology that have been influential, from Schleiermacher’s understanding of theology to debates with Kant, Hegel, and Bultmann. It also includes a substantial section on Luther from the original in order to clarify the Lutheran tradition.” |

Public Theology for the 21st Century $70 “‘… a very significant moment in the history of public theology over the past fifty years or so, taking stock of and renewing a sense of social vision in theology ‘ Raymond Plant, King’s College, London and the House of Lords This major book is a unique stocktaking of the issues facing public theology at the beginning of the 21st century, combining retrospect and prospect. The contributors are leading Christian theologians and social theorists from Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia. Part one surveys the legacy of the 20th century and asks what should be carried over into the third millennium. There are authoritative essays on political and public theology in Germany, Argentina, South Africa and Britain. In part two, the contested legacy of modernity itself is considered, revisiting such ideas as freedom, toleration, human rights, pluralism, environmental stewardship and God in history. Part three addresses globalization, offering a range of critical interpretations of this key concept for public theology in the 21st century. The final part offers theological and ethical insight into some of the most pressing public issues of the new century – medical ethics, punishment and forgiveness, inequality, social exclusion and political participation. Throughout, the authors engage with the public and theological concerns that have shaped the life and work of Duncan B. Forrester, to whom this book is dedicated. Public Theology for the 21st Century is a landmark publication for all those concerned about theology’s contribution to public debate in the churches, the academy and society. William F. Storrar is Professor of Christian Ethics and Practical Theology, and Director of the Centre for Theology and Public Issues, University of Edinburgh. Andrew R. Morton is an Honorary Fellow in the School of Divinity, and a former Associate Director of the Centre for Theology and Public Issues, University of Edinburgh.” |

When Kumbaya Is Not Enough: A Practical Theology for Youth Ministry $17 “”Writing with the lens of a theologian, the heart of a pastor, and welcome doctrinal breadth, Dean Borgman has provided a “field book” of pastoral theologies that take seriously the social systems shaping the lives of adolescents–never mind that Borgman knows more about youth culture than anybody alive. This book is a significant step toward the long-awaited conversation about theology and youth ministry in postmodern culture.”–Kenda Creasy Dean, assistant professor of youth, church and culture, Princeton Theological Seminary”Dean Borgman has been a wonderful mentor and teacher for hundreds of youth workers throughout the years. In this excellent work he brings theological integrity, depth, and years of wisdom like nothing else I have seen in our field.”–Jim Burns, president, National Institute of Youth MinistryChapters address such issues as family and peer pressure, music, sexuality, growth and development, and modern culture.” |

The Pastoral Luther: Essays on Martin Luther’s Practical Theology $45 “Explores a long-neglected aspect of Martin Lutherhis life and ministry as a pastor. / Sixteen church historians here examine Martin Luther in an uncommon way ? not as Reformer or theologian but as pastor. Luther’s work as parish pastor commanded much of his time and energy in Wittenberg. / After first introducing the pastoral Luther, including his theology of the cross, these chapters discuss Luther’s preaching and use of language (including humor), investigate his teaching ministry in depth, especially in light of the catechism, and explore his views on such things as the role of women, the Virgin Mary, and music. The book finally probes Luther’s sentiments on monasticism and secular authority. / Contributors: Charles P. Arand, James M. Estes, Eric W. Gritsch, Robert Kolb, Beth Kreitzer, Robin A. Leaver, Mickey L. Mattox, Ronald Rittgers, Robert Rosin, Reinhard Schwarz, Jane E. Strohl, Christoph Weimer, Dorothea Wendebourg, Timothy J. Wengert, V?tor Westhelle, H. S. Wilson.” |
|
|
Feminist & Womanist Pastoral Theology $25 “In the last decade, the focus of pastoral theology has shifted dramatically from care defined as counseling to care understood within a wider social, political, and religious context. Feminist and womanist theory as well as feminist and womanist faith convictions have played a key role in this development.>According to the authors, feminists and womanists in pastoral theology have begun to reconstruct the definitions, parameters, and commitments of pastoral care and counseling. These changes have critical implications for care within congregations and for the understanding of theology in seminaries and dignity schools.>Yet these developments in the theory and practice of pastoral theology and their broader ramifications have not been carefully analyzed or even acknowledged by pastoral theologian, minister, and religion scholar alike. This is due to a failure to articulate clear understandings of the field, the gap between congregational ministry and higher education in religion, and conflicts in theological education in general over the place of practice and theory, experience, spirituality, and practical theology.>To redress these problems, this collection of essays has a threefold aim. First, the book identifies the many changes occurring in definitions of pastoral theology, care, and counseling. Second, the volume defines and develops new methods and approaches. Third, the authors attend to the implications of these changes for congregational care and theological education. Roughly speaking, the order of the chapters in this volume follows this threefold agenda, moving from an exploration of the changes in pastoral theology to its reconstruction to some of the implications ofrecent innovations.” |

Christian Theology Set [With CDROM] $59 “An ideal introduction and companion anthology set that provides a remarkably comprehensive Christian theology resource. The set consists of two books in paper – Hodgson and King’s “Christian Theology” and the historical anthology, “Readings in Christian Theology” – accompanied by a CDROM that contains the entirety of these two volumes and many pedagogical features.” |
|
|
Responsive Labor: A Theology of Work $16 “Most Christians work outside the church, so for many?if not most?of us, daily labor seems divorced from Christian beliefs and ethics. Work is an inevitable factor of human existence, and yet we do not have appropriate theological resources to help us reflect on its nature and meaning in light of Christian understanding and contemporary American culture. How can we as Christians understand our work as a dimension of our faith? After several years of extensive research, which included numerous interviews with working Christians across the United States, David Jensen provides a full look at the issue, taking seriously the situation of workers in American society and drawing on the insights of liturgical, practical, and constructive theology. What results is an insightful theological investigation into daily labor in light of Christian faith.” |

A More Profound Alleluia $18 Two questions lie at the heart of this rich, suggestive book: What are the theological implications of worship? and What are the liturgical implications of theology? Convinced that worship and theology are integrally related, the authors of A More Profound Alleluia show in practical terms how liturgy and doctrine fruitfully illuminate each other.Each chapter pairs an element of the worship service with related Christian teachings, clearly demonstrating how the great doctrines of the faith find their natural expression in the drama of worship and how the liturgy in turn finds its corollary in doctrine. The interrelation of theology and worship is illustrated with anecdotes from congregational life, resources drawn from church history, and themes from novels and films. Each chapter also includes two hymn texts that exemplify orthodox doctrine communicated through song. A More Profound Alleluia will be a valuable text for courses in theology or worship, will help worship leaders to plan services with greater theological depth, and will enhance worship for Christian believers generally.Contributors: Ronald P. ByarsWilliam A. DyrnessMartha L. Moore-KeishDavid L. StubbsLeanne Van DykJohn D. Witvliet |
