Download or read book Always with Us written by Theoharis, Liz and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jesus's words 'the poor you will always have with you' (Matthew 26:11) are regularly used to suggest that ending poverty is impossible. In this book Liz Theoharis critically examines both the biblical text and the lived reality of the poor to show how this passage is taken out of context and distorted. Poverty is not inevitable, Theoharis argues. It is a systemic sin, and all Christians have a responsibility to partner with the poor to end poverty once and for all"--Jacket

Book Subversive Jesus

    Book Details:
  • Author : Craig Warren Greenfield
  • Publisher : Zondervan
  • Release : 2016-04-26
  • ISBN : 031034624X
  • Pages : 192 pages

Download or read book Subversive Jesus written by Craig Warren Greenfield and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jesus left the most exclusive gated community in the universe to come live with the people he loved and gave his life for, he turned everything we know and believe about life on its head. Jesus said that he came to bring good news to the poor, but most Western Christians remain disconnected and isolated from the poor and their contexts of injustice. Even our churches echo society’s pressure to isolate ourselves from the margins (e.g. by moving to a better suburb) and instead teach us how to be “nice people” who worship a “nice Jesus” and don’t disrupt the status quo. Convinced that Jesus places love for the poor and the pursuit of justice central, Craig Greenfield has sought to follow in Christ’s footsteps by living among people at the edges of society for the last fourteen years. His quest to follow this Subversive Jesus has taken Craig and his young family from the slums of Asia to inner city Canada and back again. This is the story of how Jesus led them to the margins: initiating the Pirates of Justice flash mobs, sharing their home with detoxing crackheads, welcoming homeless panhandlers and prostitutes to the dinner table, and ultimately sparking a movement to reach the world’s most vulnerable children. This book is a strong and potentially controversial critique of the status quo too often found in our churches, but it offers an inspirational and hopeful vision of another way. While readers may not relocate to a slum, they will certainly come to view their lives and ministry through a fresh lens—reconsidering how they are uniquely called by Jesus to subversively love the poor and break down systems of injustice in their sphere of influence.

  • Author : Alia Joy
  • Publisher : Baker Books
  • Release : 2019-04-02
  • ISBN : 1493416251
  • Pages : 240 pages

Download or read book Glorious Weakness written by Alia Joy and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a girl, Alia Joy came face to face with weakness, poverty, and loss in ways that made her doubt God was good. There were times when it felt as if God had abandoned her. What she didn't realize then was that God was always there, calling her to abandon herself. In this deeply personal exploration of what it means to be "poor in spirit," Joy challenges our cultural proclivity to "pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps." She calls on readers to embrace true vulnerability and authenticity with God and with one another, showing how weakness does not disqualify us from inclusion in the kingdom of God--instead, it is our very invitation to enter in. Anyone who has struggled with feeling inadequate, disillusioned, or just too broken will find hope. This message is an antidote to despair, helping readers reclaim the ways God is good, even when life is anything but.

Book The Theology of the Cross in Historical Perspective

Download or read book The Theology of the Cross in Historical Perspective written by Anna M. Madsen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theology of the cross is indisputably a trendy concept today. Numerous seminars, books, and dissertations tackle the topic. But The Theology of the Cross in Historical Perspective demonstrates that theology of the cross is no passing fancy. Theologies of the cross appear at the beginnings of the church, in the sixteenth-century reformations of the church, and in the more contemporary modernization of the church. Without theologies of the cross, what the church is called to be and to preach becomes unclear. So then, what is the theology of the cross? Anna Madsen surveys the theology of the cross in the thinking of Paul and Luther. She also outlines several important twentieth-century contributions to the subject. On the basis of her analysis, Madsen suggests that the theology of the cross reveals God to be found even in death. In death, after all, boundaries disappear. The theology of the cross assures Christians that God is present in the death of sin and in the realities of suffering and uncertainty. Given that it announces God's presence, the theology of the cross is ultimately a theology of grace, freedom, and trust.

Book After Crucifixion

    Book Details:
  • Author : Craig Keen
  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2013-11-19
  • ISBN : 1610970659
  • Pages : 281 pages

Download or read book After Crucifixion written by Craig Keen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an extraordinary text. It addresses no small number of traditional theological concerns. However, it addresses them mindful of the earthiness of life. Thus this is also a book that is concerned to address questions of migration, brain physiology, emotional trauma, time, love, and death. It is written not to satisfy a bloodless lust for the resolution of puzzles. It is written with confidence that tangible bodies think. Thus there is an earthy quality to its writing, both in what it addresses and how it is addressed. The manner of After Crucifixion may be imagined as a moment in which in some unpretentious underground venue the deep, resonant percussions of subwoofers roll as a carnal wave across the chest and throat before they become the bass line in a conscious musical thought. After Crucifixion has been written for the ears, the chest, the throat, no less than for focused, deliberate, disciplined thought. But it is written in particular for bodies befriended by the Mystery of life and death--in the carnal event of the crucifixion/resurrection of the Galilean peasant Jesus, who unhands the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil and thus invites us to join him in prayer.

Book Crucifixion Resurrection

    Book Details:
  • Author : Edwyn C. Hoskyns
  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2004-10-05
  • ISBN : 1592449220
  • Pages : 403 pages

Download or read book Crucifixion Resurrection written by Edwyn C. Hoskyns and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-10-05 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Crucifixion-Resurrection' is the posthumous work of one of the great theological partnerships - Sir Edwyn Hoskyns, the pioneer of biblical theology in England, and Noel Davey, his student, in whom he found the ideal literary collaborator. It was conceived as the theological sequel to their first joint work, 'The Riddle of the New Testament', whose influence on generations of students has been incalculable. 'Crucifixion-Resurrection' is concerned with the theology and ethics of the New Testament. It offers a detailed exposition of the various New Testament interpretations of Christ's death, penetrating to the heart of the message Christianity has to offer the world, and plumbing spiritual depths which the Church rarely sounds today. Present New Testament scholarship may have a more extensive technical equipment, but does not necessarily come to better theological conclusions; indeed the authentic Christian humanism of Hoskyns and Davey may speak to our time even more forcibly than to their own.'Crucifixion-Resurrection' has been edited by Gordon S. Wakefield, who completed the manuscript with the help of lectures left by Noel Davey. Wakefield has also provided a substantial biographical account of the two authors.

Book Enflamed by the Sacramental Word

Download or read book Enflamed by the Sacramental Word written by Vincent J. Pastro and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian proclamation, says Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is the living Christ walking among the people. Preachers know that Jesus is the living Word, and that the Spirit of Jesus animates the preaching event. Preaching is an epiclesis, an invocation of the Holy Spirit over God's holy people. As such, it must touch their imagination. Pastro proposes that preaching is the living ecclesial presence of Jesus Christ, Sacramental Word of the God of the poor. The Word speaks from the imagination of the poor-the economic poor, but also the "new poor" of the twenty-first century: entire indigenous cultures, women, those marginalized because of their sexuality, undocumented immigrants in dominant cultures, and many others. All Christian preachers in every context are called to solidarity with the poor.

Book Cross and Cosmos

  • Author : John D. Caputo
  • Publisher : Indiana University Press
  • Release : 2019-07-23
  • ISBN : 0253043131
  • Pages : 309 pages

Download or read book Cross and Cosmos written by John D. Caputo and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renowned theologian “brings Luther and cosmology into dialogue with radical theological movements that have their point of departure in deconstruction” (George Pattison, author of Eternal God/Saving Time). John D. Caputo stretches his project as a radical theologian to new limits in this groundbreaking book. Mapping out his summative theological position, he identifies with Martin Luther to take on notions of the hidden god, the theology of the cross, confessional theology, and natural theology. Caputo also confronts the dark side of the cross with its correlation to lynching and racial and sexual discrimination. Caputo is clear that he is not writing as any kind of orthodox Lutheran but is instead engaging with a radical view of theology, cosmology, and poetics of the cross. Readers will recognize Caputo’s signature themes—hermeneutics, deconstruction, weakness, and the call—as well as his unique voice as he writes about moral life and our strivings for joy against contemporary society and politics. “This work will be eagerly awaited and immediately read by John D. Caputo’s many followers. They will be looking for him to fill out the ‘big picture’ which makes manifest for the first time all the parts and pieces he has contributed to the theological project he launched early in the previous decade.” —Carl Raschke, author of Postmodern Theology “Caputo is always distinctive.” —George Pattison, author of Eternal God/Saving Time

Book The Crucified God

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jürgen Moltmann
  • Publisher : Fortress Press
  • Release : 2015-11-01
  • ISBN : 1506402968
  • Pages : 536 pages

Download or read book The Crucified God written by Jürgen Moltmann and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its English publication in 1973, Jrgen Moltmanns The Crucified God garnered much attention, and it has become one of the seminal texts of twentieth-century theology. Following up on his groundbreaking Theology of Hope, The Crucified God established the cross as the foundation for Christian hope. Moltmanns dramatic innovation was to see the cross not as a problem of theodicy but instead as an act of ultimate solidarity between God and humanity. In this, he drew on liberation theology, and he was among the first to bring third-world theologies into a first-world context. Moltmann proposes that suffering is not a problem to be solved but instead that suffering is an aspect of Gods very being: God is love, and love invariably involves suffering. In this view, the crucifixion of Jesus is an event that affects the entirety of the Trinity, showing that The Crucified God is more than an arresting titleit is a theological breakthrough.

Book The Politics of the Crucified

Download or read book The Politics of the Crucified written by John C. Peet and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus died, not peacefully in bed, but on the cross, the instrument of execution used by the Romans to keep potential disturbers of the established political order in their place. Until the pioneering work of Jürgen Moltmann, the cross has been the “elephant in the room” in Christian political theology. This book explores the difference Jesus’s crucifixion makes (or should make) to Christian political theology, by examining the crucifixion in the theologies of the Mennonite John Howard Yoder and the liberation theologians Leonardo Boff and Jon Sobrino. In the light of the cross and of the kenotic God revealed by the cross, questions of political power are explored, and a kenotic political ethic outlined. In conclusion, suggestions are made as to how the contemporary church can live out a cruciform, or cross–shaped, political spirituality and ecclesiology.
