Called to Suffer
If you walk down the aisle in the Christian growth section of your local bookstore, you will be spoiled for choice. However, what you will struggle to find is a book on how suffering plays a part in one's Christian growth. This book seeks to bring a helpful corrective to the current trend in Christianity that views suffering as something to be avoided entirely. It dives into the letter of First Peter to explicate how Peter envisioned suffering as not only helpful but necessary for true Christian formation.
Echoes of Jesus in the First Epistle of Peter
How did the words of Jesus influence the writing of 1 Peter? That is the question that is at the heart of this study. Of course, the answer is complicated by the fact that 1 Peter nowhere directly references the words of Jesus. Nevertheless, the impact of his words are evident throughout the letter. The first third of the book lays the foundation for answering the question by giving clear and concise criteria for identifying places where 1 Peter uses the words of Jesus. The rest of the book walks through the text of 1 Peter section by section, submitting each potential echo of Jesus's words to the criteria previously developed. The book concludes by considering how the words of Jesus influenced the themes and content of the letter.

It looks at the broad political and policy implications of EMU and shows how the United States views this integration. Elizabeth Pond, a longtime observer of events in Europe and Russia, sees these d...

Bound by Creativity
While our traditional view of creative work might lead us to think of artists as solitary visionaries, the creative process is in fact deeply social. From those trying to land their first solo show to those with dozens of museum exhibitions, artists are influenced by others' evaluations. In Bound by Creativity, sociologist Hannah Wohl draws on more than one hundred interviews and two years of ethnographic research in the New York contemporary art market, developing a sociological perspective on creativity through the analytic lens of judgment.
