\"\"Christianity and pluralism<\/a> \/Ron Dart & J.I. Packer.
\n<\/strong>This title is a collection of concise yet thoughtful essays by J. I. Packer and Ron Dart, interacting with and responding to the four traditional models used to answer the existence of multiple faiths (exclusive, inclusive, pluralist, and syncretist), but focusing particularly that form of syncretism which claims that all faiths find commonality through their mystical traditions.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Circles of sisterhood: a history of mission, service, and fellowship in Mennonite women’s organizations<\/a> \/Anita Hooley Yoder.
\n<\/strong>This title paints with both broad and subtle strokes the one-hundred-year history of an organization that nurtures local church women\u2019s groups and connects Mennonite women across the world<\/p>\n

God’s country: faith, hope, and the future of the rural church<\/a> \/Brad Roth; foreword by Leonard Sweet.
\n<\/strong>This title offers a sturdy theological and practical alternative to church-growth strategies that rely on success stories and flashy metrics. The author focuses on the learning how to praise, abide, watch, pray, grow, work the edges, die, befriend, and dream.<\/p>\n

\"\"To heal and not to hurt: a fresh approach to safeguarding in Church<\/a><\/strong> \/Rosie Harper.
\n<\/strong>This title presents 15 narrative examples and examines the deep institutional roots of the abusive attitudes that caused them and the Church\u2019s often equally damaging responses. It concludes with the suggestion of a calm, reasoned, and practical basis on which the Church could shape a more adequate and sustainable policy of prevention and response.<\/p>\n

Letters to young scholars<\/a> \/William Carey Ringenberg: foreword by Jay Kesler.
\n<\/strong>This second volume is designed primarily for college students, advanced high school students, and church and parachurch study groups on spiritual development.<\/p>\n

Meander, spiral, explode: design and pattern in narrative<\/a> \/Jane Alison.
\n<\/strong>This title focuses on the craft of writing by demonstrating that the best stories follow patterns in nature.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Puzzling passages in Paul: forty conundrums calmly considered<\/a> \/Anthony Thiselton.
\n<\/strong>This title examines forty puzzling passages from Paul\u2019s epistles. The author considers the various scholarly proposals about their meaning and offers their own reflections in the hope of dispersing fog and shedding light, and of expounding a coherent and self-consistent Paul.<\/p>\n

The Reformation and the irrepressible word of God: interpretation, theology, and practice<\/a> \/edited by Scott M. Manetsch.
\n<\/strong>This title brings together the reflections of church historians and theologians originally delivered at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The strength of her witness: Jesus Christ in the global voices of women<\/a> \/edited by Elizabeth A. Johnson.
\n<\/strong>This text is composed of essays, from around the world, that reveal the ways that women have reflected on and borne witness to the person, teaching, and praxis of Jesus Christ in light of their own varied contexts (poverty, racism, and violence). Their experience of being female in male-dominated structures in the church and society; and their commitment to promote justice in view of the human dignity of women, all done in tandem with their faith relationship with the living God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
