The Word of Love
Stephen Elkins-Williams had the extraordinary good fortune to preach in the same pulpit for 30 years, and it was equally fortuitous for generations of parishioners at the Chapel of the Cross in the vibrant university community of Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

True Divinity in Christ
John M. Keith's theological memoir Complete Humanity in Jesus considered what it means to be human in relation to the perfect humanity of Jesus. In his new book, True Divinity in Christ, Keith now examines the other side of Christ's person and reflects on how we are involved in God's life through the divinity of Christ. In chapters focused on the concepts of epiphany, transfiguration, resurrection, and ascension, the book describes how we know God, how we are transformed by God, how we share in the life of God, and how we participate in the work of God. Four accompanying short stories, inspired by events in churches during Keith's ministry, resonate with the book's theological themes.
Reconstructing Appalachia
Families, communities, and the nation itself were irretrievably altered by the Civil War and the subsequent societal transformations of the nineteenth century. The repercussions of the war incited a broad range of unique problems in Appalachia, including political dynamics, racial prejudices, and the regional economy. Andrew L. Slap's anthology Reconstructing Appalachia reveals life in Appalachia after the ravages of the Civil War, an unexplored area that has left a void in historical literature. Addressing a gap in the chronicles of our nation, this vital collection explores little-known aspects of history with a particular focus on the Reconstruction and post-Reconstruction periods. Acclai...

To approach it as faithfully as we have our living calls for some serious forethought. Because one of the simplest facts of life—that we all die—seems like the most complicated thing we do. Not only have advances in medical technology saved lives, but they also have prolonged death, and raise a number ethical, moral, social, and theological issues. How far should we go to sustain life? Is it right to withdraw artificial feeding from the dying? Is it wrong to end the lives of those in pain? No matter who we are, dealing with these sorts of cho...
