Our Lent
Two billion Christians observe Lent each year, looking prayerfully toward Easter. But, as Christians, we often focus on our own busy lives and overlook many of the things Jesus was teaching us in his final journey to Jerusalem. "Our Lent" is a 40-chapter journey with Jesus, written by award-winning Religion Writer David Crumm, that pauses each day to explore the enduring power of the things Jesus showed us, many of them quite tangible: coins, basins, bowls, bread, cups, swords and tables, to name a few. Connecting those timeless lessons with life today, you'll meet a colorful array of personalities from the Cat in the Hat to Thomas Merton, Judy Garland to Desmond Tutu, Merle Haggard to Nobel Prize-winner Muhammad Yunnus. Intrigued by this new approach to an ancient celebration? Then use this book with friends in your congregation. You can expand on these reflections, and even add your own voice to the discussion during Lent, at http: //www.OurLent.info.
Kingdom Ethics, 2nd ed.
"Kingdom Ethics is arguably the most significant and comprehensive Christian ethics textbook of our time.” — Michelle A. Clifton-Soderstrom, North Park Theological Seminary Christian churches across the spectrum, and Christian ethics as an academic discipline, are often guilty of evading what Jesus actually said about moral life, focusing instead on other biblical texts or traditions. This evasion of Jesus has seriously malformed Christian moral witness—which Jesus said is tested by whether we put his words “into practice.” David Gushee and Glen Stassen’s Kingdom Ethics is the leading Christian introductory ethics textbook for the twenty-first century. Solidly rooted in Scripture...
Religious Trauma, Queer Identities
In a polarised milieu that too often posits “queer” and “Christian” as competing realms, this book explores the complexities of identity development, religious traumatisation, and the task of creating safe faith spaces in which LGBTQA+ people can find healing, particularly in the Evangelical context. First, Joel Hollier examines the historical path of Evangelicalism, providing context for the current terrain of the “culture war” we find ourselves in. He then parses out experiences of gender/sexuality and religious/spiritual identity development, grounding them in an evolving theoretical base. Finally, Hollier offers a rounded critique of Evangelical church structures and mechanisms of trauma that hinder the healing process, along with potential sources of healing. Central to this work are the voices of LGBTQA+ people whose stories weave together a deeper understanding of the harms the Church has perpetrated, and the path forward.
Our Lent: Things We Carry, 2nd edition
The annual observance of Lent, the season of spiritual reflection leading to Easter, is growing across the U.S. Around the world, 2 billion men and women mark Lent as a part of the Christian calendar, but most do not pause on a daily basis to enjoy Lent’s rich opportunity to reflect on the life of Jesus. In growing numbers, though, Americans are finding this season attractive, because Lent taps into the deep spiritual yearnings in our culture and, at the same time, encourages individual expression. Our Lent is a 40-day, 40-chapter invitation to enjoy that combination of faith and self-guided reflection. The book was written by award-winning religion writer David Crumm, the founding editor ...
