Jesus and Salvation
How does the Christian proclamation of salvation in Jesus Christ relate to the lives of the people who suffer most? Does salvation consist entirely of the hope for eternal life with God? How might the church effectively preach the message of salvation in Christ today? In Jesus and Salvation, Robin Ryan adopts a historical approach to these questions, discussing key themes and classic authors in the developing tradition about Christ the Savior. He examines modern soteriology by engaging the thought of Karl Rahner, Edward Schillebeeckx, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and Elizabeth Johnson. He also discusses contemporary conceptions of salvation within an evolutionary view of the cosmos as well as issues related to the Christian confession of Jesus as universal savior in a religiously pluralistic world. Ryan concludes by offering his own reflections on the meaning of salvation from God in Jesus Christ. By understanding salvation in Christ as both gift and call, Ryan invites readers to recognize in the saving grace of God a responsibility for the well-being of the human family and the rest of creation.
Dominion
While searching for suspects in the bombing of an abortion clinic, Sgt. Frank Matthews and his partner find themselves at the farm of Harlan Jackson, a Vietnam vet and Christian survivalist. After a search of his barn turns up something the police were not expecting, Harlan is taken in for questioning, along with the beautiful and mysterious young girl living with him who goes only by the name Hayden. Washington, considering the bombing an act of domestic terrorism, dispatches Special Agents Rick Waltrip and Jim Hanson of the FBI to investigate. The Feds soon become more interested in the girl than Harlan, and the two of them are taken to a secret government installation in Utah under the guise of National Security. All the while, the girl is being tracked by a man who goes by the name of Silas, who in reality is not a man at all but a ruthless and evil being who will stop at nothing to find Hayden and prevent her from accomplishing what she was sent to do. Hayden has managed to stay ahead of him up to this point, but now hes closing in. And fast.

Milton's Theological Process
This volume proposes a method for reading Milton's De Doctrina Christiana as an artifact of his process of theological thinking rather than as a repository of his doctrinal views. Jason A. Kerr argues that reading in this way involves attention to the complex material state of the manuscript along with Milton's varying modes of engagement with scripture and various theological interlocutors, and reveals that Milton's approach to theology underwent significant change in the course of his work on the treatise. Initially, Milton set out to use Ramist logic to organize scripture in a way that drew out its intrinsic doctrinal structure. This method had two unintended consequences: it drove Milton...

The Apocalyptic Year 1000
The essays in this volume challenge prevailing views on the way in which apocalyptic concerns contributed to larger processes of social change at the first millennium. They should provoke new interest in and debate on the nature and causes of social change in early medieval Europe.
Chain Thinking
Syndey Vail, once a beautiful soap opera star, enters lawyer-cum-detective Shep Harrington's life in a cloud of dust and vanishes just as quickly, leaving behind two very different but strangely connected things: a chimpanzee and a murder. The chimpanzee is the young Kikora, whom Sydney liberated from her confining cage in a testing lab at DMI a mega-medical conglomerate led by the hard-driving Howard Doring, who apparently believes that the human animal has every right to exploit all living things. The murder victim, killed by a blow to the head, is Dr. Celia Stone, the DMI researcher in charge of Kikora. Soon Shep realizes that Kikora, left in his initially unwilling care, is not only stolen property, but the longer he keeps her, the more threatened his own freedom becomes and the more often tough questions race through his head. What makes an animal property? What is the source of human rights? What about an animal whose only difference from humans is 1.6% of DNA, that can empathize and suffer like humans? The questions confuse Shep, who's never had to think hard about them before. And the only answers he seems to find lie in the big brown eyes of a chimp called Kikora.
