Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protestant is shorthand for a spreading family tree of church and theological traditions. Each tradition embodies a historically shaped perspective on the beliefs, practices and priorities that make up a Christian community. Whether you are an insider to one tradition, a hybrid of two or three, or--as many Christians today--an outsider to all, Exploring Protestant Traditions is a richly informative field guide to eight prominent Protestant theological traditions: Lutheran, Anabaptist, Reformed, Anglican, Baptist, Wesleyan, Dispensational and Pentecostal. Clearly and evenhandedly, W. David Buschart traces the histories of each tradition, explains their interpretive approaches to Scripture and identifies their salient beliefs. As a result, you will gain a sense of what it is to believe and worship as a Reformed or Pentecostal Christian, who the traditions' heroes are and where the "theological accents" are placed. Charts displaying the denominational representatives of each tradition and bibliographies mapping the path for further explorations add to the value of this guide. This is a book that seeks to receive rather than evaluate, to listen and understand rather than judge or correct. His is a model of theological hospitality that encourages you to open your doors to the varied ways in which Protestantism has taken root in history and human society. Some things take time, like coming to know a religious tradition. But Exploring Protestant Traditions is an excellent place to start.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multicultural growth in churches has increased significantly over the past few decades. Changing neighborhood demographics, styles of worship, leadership values, and denominational brands are all factors in church congregations becoming more diverse. As a result, many spiritual and sociological dynamics associated with such growth can significantly affect the overall health of any local church. Who Shall Separate Us? explores the divisions within the church that reflect the separation of races and cultures in the United States as a whole. Author Dr. Angelo O. Dart identifies the underlying dynamics of these divisions as racism, bias, discrimination, and prejudice—elements that could certainly act on the development of the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors between cultures in society. As the church, the Body of Christ has served humankind in both spiritual and social venues. If one of the purposes of the church is to provide the spiritual utility by which values and morals are created, it becomes vitally important for it to exude the kind of spiritual health worthy of emulation by the rest of society.

This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there only doom and gloom for the future of mainline Christianity? Or is it that the current sense of decline and malaise is only a mirage or the result of exaggerations by persons both within but also without these churches? Is the church threatened or are we on the precipice of new opportunities? While there has been some helpful work on the state of the church, others have uncritically parroted claims about decline and linked these claims with notions that the decline is due to relentless theological liberalism. The tragedy for churches is that many pastors now feel decline is inevitable and they are blind to the strengths that they do have. In this book, Ted Campbell begins with an accounting of the Church’s great treasure, the Gospel, and how mainline churches continue to minister in line with many thoughtful traditions. Tradition isn’t just “frozen success,” it also holds keys to faith’s relevance for the world today. Campbell continues to show how mainline churches came to understand themselves as mainline and how the media continues to misunderstand them. The book concludes with practices that will help churches build up the larger Christian community while reaching out to new constituencies.

Book excerpt: Dan Stiver has crafted an engaging one-volume introduction to Christian beliefs, based on his experience teaching introductory theology courses. While describing how traditional theology came to be, he explains for both undergraduates and graduate students how theology is already a part of their life of faith. As he examines traditional theological issues and such current topics as globalization and ecology, Stiver treats theology as a living, dynamic activity. Employing useful case studies, his groundbreaking approach helps students understand what theology is--and shows them that they are participants in creating an ongoing, vigorous theology that will remain at the center of their faith for the rest of their lives.
