God with Us
In successive chapters, Matthew's understanding of mission, worship, teaching, stewardship, and social justice are described in such a way as to assist the reader in understanding the theology of Matthew as a whole. Powell inquires into the direction and thrust of Matthew's Gospel in categories related to pastoral theology rather than systematic theology.
Mission from a Position of Weakness
This book deals with mission from a position of weakness from the perspective of Kingdom of God missiology. Both in the Bible and history, God's power in mission is manifested through the weakness of the cross of Jesus and of his disciples in any era. In this book, the author asserts that the principles of mission from a position of weakness should be the foundational and guiding value for mission of the whole Church of Christ.

Catholic Progressives in England after Vatican II
In Catholic Progressives in England after Vatican II, Jay P. Corrin traces the evolution of Catholic social and theological thought from the end of World War II through the 1960s that culminated in Vatican Council II. He focuses on the emergence of reformist thinking as represented by the Council and the corresponding responses triggered by the Church's failure to expand the promises, or expectations, of reform to the satisfaction of Catholics on the political left, especially in Great Britain. The resistance of the Roman Curia, the clerical hierarchy, and many conservative lay men and women to reform was challenged in 1960s England by a cohort of young Catholic intellectuals for whom the Co...
The Twentieth Century
An examination of the impact of major historical events of the 20th century on the interpretation theologians have given of the Christian message. Events include the World Wars, the Russian Revolution, the Great Depression, Nazism, the Holocaust, welfare capitalism and the free market economy. There follow reflections from a contemporary perspective on important cultural and religious developments of the 20th century.
Justification Is for Preaching
Although preachers often question their effectiveness, no task of the church is more important than proclamation. Only the gospel liberates sinners from guilt, despair, and death and grants them freedom, hope, and new life. Few have grasped this truth better than Martin Luther. This volume features contributions by contemporary theologians whose work is shaped by Luther's conviction that God's justification of the ungodly comes through preaching: Gerhard Forde, Oswald Bayer, and their students and friends. Taken from the pages of Lutheran Quarterly, these essays in historical and theological perspective bring the doctrine of justification to bear on contemporary preaching. For Luther, the wh...
Mission Shaped by Promise
Utilizing resources from Martin Luther and the Lutheran tradition, this study offers an understanding of the gospel as promise as key to addressing the challenge of relating the missio Dei to a generous, constructive approach toward the religious other. In its construction of a Lutheran missiology, it retrieves and reappropriates four resources from the Lutheran tradition: the gospel as promise, the law/gospel distinction, a theology of grace as promise of mercy fulfilled, and a theology of the cross utilizing the hiddenness of God. The law of God as accusing yet webbing humanity to its Creator; the gospel as the comforting promise of mercy; and the hiddenness of God as mystifying form the overarching framework within which the Lutheran missiology presented here seeks to engage the religious other by dialectically relating gospel proclamation and dialogue. Such a view of "mission shaped by promise" offers the paradox of God being both revealed and hidden in the cross as a distinctive contribution to an interreligious dialogue centered on the ambiguity and hiddenness of God.
An Introduction to Fundamental Moral Theology
This book discusses fundamental morals, that branch of theology that studies human acts and the sources and motivations of these deliberate acts. This can help the disciple of Jesus Christ to direct these acts to the loving vision of God, understood as his/her true, complete happiness and final end. This study principally examines the foundations of fundamental moral theology, the ideas underpinning this major category of doctrine in the Christian Church, the equivalent to an ethics of religions. While this theology derives its basic moral teaching from the Bible, it adds other distinctive emphases, namely, the concept of the ius naturale (the Natural Law), a tradition drawn from hierarchica...
