Preachers, Churches, Saints . . . and More
Is the pace of your life too fast to know what's happening? Are you too busy taking care of things to pay attention to the road you're traveling? If you're inundated in church work, you will find something for you in Preachers, Churches, Saints . . . and More. J. Mark Jordan helps you to see ordinary things from a new perspective. His introduction explains why this is so vital: "The contemporary church must be on high alert. Our adversary has weaponized the most innocuous aspects of daily life, turning almost everything into a potential threat. Allies have become adversaries, traditional bastions of support have been transformed into insidious forces of evil, and the whole of Christianity approaches a Gladwellian tipping point. A feckless attitude toward the present predicament could not be more dangerous. It is time to focus, commit, stand strong and go proactive." For those just out of the starting blocks, or those nearing the finish line, you may get exactly what you need to keep going and finish strong.
The Silence of Sodom
The past decade has seen homosexual scandals in the Catholic Church becoming ever more visible, and the Vatican's directives on homosexuality becoming ever more forceful, begging the question Mark Jordan tries to answer here: how can the Catholic Church be at once so homophobic and so homoerotic? His analysis is a keen and readable study of the tangled relationship between male homosexuality and modern Catholicism. "[Jordan] has offered glimpses, anecdotal stories, and scholarly observations that are a whole greater than the sum of its parts. . . . If homosexuality is the guest that refuses to leave the table, Jordan has at least shed light on why that is and in the process made the whole issue, including a conflicted Catholic Church, a little more understandable."—Larry B. Stammer, Los Angeles Times "[Jordan] knows how to present a case, and with apparently effortless clarity he demonstrates the church's double bind and how it affects Vatican rhetoric, the training of priests, and ecclesiastical protectiveness toward an army of closet cases. . . . [T]his book will interest readers of every faith."—Daniel Blue, Lambda Book Report A 2000 Lambda Literary Award Finalist

Transforming Fire
“We don’t need books about teaching so much as books that teach.” Considering Jesus himself taught in a variety of ways—parable, discussion, miracle performance, ritual observance—it seems that there can be no single, definitive, Christian method of teaching. How then should Christian teaching happen, especially in this time of significant change to theological education as an institution? Mark Jordan addresses this question by first allowing various depictions and instances of Christian teaching from literature to speak for themselves before meditating on what these illustrative examples might mean for Christian pedagogy. Each textual scene he shares is juxtaposed with a contrasti...

Most Perfect Things about People
In the mundane desperation of early-1990s southern Ontario, ten-year-old Soccer Beally kills his neighbor with a brick and vanishes without a trace.
