\u00a0Bonhoeffer’s black Jesus: Harlem Renaissance theology and an ethic of resistance \/by Reggie L. Williams.<\/a> <\/strong>The Christology Bonhoeffer learned in Harlem’s churches featured a black Christ who suffered with African Americans in their struggle against systemic injustice and racial violence-and then resisted. In the pews of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, under the leadership of Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., Bonhoeffer absorbed the Christianity of the Harlem Renaissance. Bonhoeffer’s Black Jesus<\/em> argues that the black American narrative led Dietrich Bonhoeffer to the truth that obedience to Jesus requires concrete historical action. This ethic of resistance not only indicted the church of the German Volk, but also continues to shape the nature of Christian discipleship today.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/create.twu.ca\/library\/files\/2021\/01\/4901248-l.jpg?resize=122%2C189\")

\u00a0Rethinking holiness: a theological introduction \/by Bernie A. Van De Walle.<\/a> <\/strong>Based on years of conversations with students, this approachable theological introduction to the Christian doctrine of holiness challenges the commonly held idea that holiness is primarily a moral category. The author explains that holiness is grounded not in ethics but in the basic nature of God. The book highlights the Bible’s necessary and corrective role in defining holiness and shows how individual holiness is grounded in the community that is the church catholic.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/create.twu.ca\/library\/files\/2021\/01\/5200980-l.jpg?resize=126%2C189\")
