The Story of the Moderators
David Peel, a leading United Reformed Church theologian, writes in his introduction: This is a study of a translocal ministry. The ecclesiologies of the churches which have united in the United Reformed Church (URC) have placed a great deal of emphasis upon local ministers, those who are set apart to serve discrete pastorates made up of one or more congregations. Only scant attention in our ecclesiological thinking has been paid to those whose ministries are not locally based. He continues: The focus of my interest in this study... is not translocal ministry in general, but one form of it in particular, namely, that by which churches exercise oversight (episcope) over their congregations and those who serve them. This well timed study explores what it means to be a synod moderator in the United Reformed Church, exploring the nature of what it means to be a moderator and offering a clear way forward. Essential reading for those interested in the state of the modern Church. David Peel is the author of Reforming Theology: Explorations in the Theological Traditions of the United Reformed Church (London: The United Reformed Church, 2002).
Crucicentric, Congregational, and Catholic
This book presents a synthesis of Alan Sell’s theology drawn from his voluminous publications. As Sell’s doctrinal views are explored and interpreted, his indebtedness to P. T. Forsyth becomes clear. What emerges is a theology rooted in and flowing from the Cross-Resurrection event. Standing in the Separatist, Dissenting, and Nonconformist traditions, Sell advocates a wholehearted commitment to a Congregational ecclesiology, which he maintains carries the potential to break through the log-jams holding up the establishment of full ecumenical relationships across the churches. Saddened by Christianity’s many sectarianisms, Sell’s intentions are thoroughly catholic; while his faithfuln...
Pilgrim's Process
This book traces the intellectual journey of a Christian minister and theologian. Starting with his discovery of God through a love of the natural world, David Peel’s encounter with thinkers from his Reformed tradition and extensive ecumenical involvement takes him to a revisionary theology which meets his attempt to integrate a scientific background with the Christian faith. Essays written during his career illustrate the path he has taken. The topics covered include theological method; the centrality of theology for the church’s life and work; a sacramental view of ministry; the missional church; biblical authority; nonconformity’s gifts to the contemporary church; and theological education. Peel’s theological approach is as critical of inadequate theologies inherited from the past as it is determined to construct a Christian narrative which satisfies twin requirements: first, being congruent with the Jesus tradition; and secondly, convincing the minds, reaching the hearts, and driving the commitments of contemporary people. Both ministers and church members are challenged to view their own theological journeys as God-given vocations.

Methodist Theology Today
Presents the Methodist theology as a resource for the future. This book focuses on the many ways in which Methodism 'carries' its theology and how Methodism's emphasis contributes to British Christianity. It asks challenging questions about how evangelism and social welfare may develop in the complex post-modern secular world.
Christ and the Other
How should we relate to 'others' - those within a particular tradition, those of different traditions, and those who are oppressed? In the light of these anxieties, and building on the work of Andrew Shanks, this book offers a vision of Christ as 'the Shaken One', rooted in community with others. Shaped through dialogue with the theologies of John Hick and Lesslie Newbigin, Adams urges Christian communities to attend more deeply to the demands of ecumenical, dialogical and political theologies, to embody an ever greater 'solidarity of others' - a quality of community better demonstrating Christlike 'other-regard'.
