In doing so, the author vividly shows that a reformation is needed in our life, thinking, acting and communicating. The book speaks precisely into our current time and calls for concrete steps. Will you be challenged to a simple and powerful Jesus lifestyle?
Serving Communities
The contexts in which theological schools operate is changing rapidly, presenting CEOs, administrators, faculty, and governing bodies with new challenges. How can theological schools adapt to these changing contexts while maintaining missional clarity? What role do each of these groups of actors play in this process? This publication describes the experience of four theological schools and presents some practical suggestions for how they can adapt in dynamic environments.
Mennonites in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union
Mennonites in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union is the first history of Mennonite life from its origins in the Dutch Reformation of the sixteenth century, through migration to Poland and Prussia, and on to more than two centuries of settlement in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. Leonard G. Friesen sheds light on religious, economic, social, and political changes within Mennonite communities as they confronted the many faces of modernity. He shows how the Mennonite minority remained engaged with the wider empire that surrounded them, and how they reconstructed and reconfigured their identity after the Bolsheviks seized power and formed a Soviet regime committed to atheism. Integrating Mennonite history into developments in the Russian Empire and the USSR, Friesen provides a history of an ethno-religious people that illuminates the larger canvas of Imperial Russian, Ukrainian, and Soviet history.

Endlich eine umfassende historische Darstellung - dazu noch gut verständlich - der missionalen Theologie!
Love in a Time of Hate
Love in a Time of Hate tells the gripping tale of Magda and André Trocmé, the couple that transformed a small town in the mountains of southern France into a place of safety during the Holocaust.

In this astonishing story of courage, romance, and resistance, learn what prompted André and Magda to risk everything for the sake of strangers who showed up at their door. Building on the story told in Lest Innocent Blood Be Shed, German journalist Hanna Schott portrays a vivid story of resisting evil and sheltering refugees with striking resonance for today.

Russian Baptist Mission Theology in Historical and Contemporary Perspective
Since the disintegration of the USSR many Russian Baptists have actively engaged in evangelism, church planting, and acts of social service. This book is a response to the need to critically evaluate the effectiveness of past mission efforts and their undergirding theology. In this detailed study, Dr Andrey Kravtsev combines historical and qualitative studies to outline the understanding of mission developed by Russian Baptists during the Soviet era when they were almost completely isolated from global missiological developments. First, Kravtsev identifies four key missiological concepts and uses them to analyze the history of mission theology in global evangelical mission movements and the ...
Renewing a Modern Denomination
This book is an exploration of the renewal of the Baptist Union of Great Britain in the 1990s, the only historic UK denomination which grew in this period. It was an exciting time, with plenty of denominational activity and engagement, both theological and institutional. The book tells this story focusing on the particular individuals involved and the wide-ranging discussions centered around mission and identity, ministry, associating, and ecumenism. It argues that there were competing visions emerging from two different streams of thought which whilst not divisive caused tension. At the end of the decade structural changes were introduced with hope for the new millennium, but the book contends that opportunities were missed for a more deeply theological renewal.
Heilung
Die brennenden Fragen um Krankheit und Heilung bewegen viele Menschen. In seelsorgerlich einfühlsamer Weise gibt Wolfgang J. Bittner mit diesem Buch biblisch begründete Antwort. Dabei wird deutlich: Heilung gehört wie die Verkündigung des Evangeliums zum Auftrag der Kirche. Sie ist ein für das Leben der Gemeinde wesentliches Zeichen, in dem sich schon jetzt Gottes Reich und Herrschaft manifestieren. "Wolfgang J. Bittners Versuch, theologische Fragen im Zusammenhang mit Krankenheilung umfassend aufzunehmen und zu klären, ist in seiner nüchternen, soliden und verlässlichen Art immer noch einmalig. Dieses Buch ist nicht für Schriftgelehrte geschrieben, sondern will als kurzgefasstes Handbuch seinen Dienst tun. Ich wünsche eine inspirierende Lektüre!" Prof. Dr. Ralph Kunz, Zürich, im Geleitwort zur vierten Auflage
