Book excerpt: In the spring of 2007, Daniel C. Maguire - a noted theologian whose controversial views have rankled conservatives for nearly 30 years - was condemned by US bishops for his progressive writings on abortion and same-sex marriage. In this pithy guide to progressive Catholicism, Maguire shows how tragically far conservative Catholic politics have strayed from the best Catholic social teaching. Whose Church? takes aim at the pelvic politics' that have dominated official Catholicism, skewering the Church hierarchy's rigid positions on sex.'

Book excerpt: Whose Church is it Anyway? A laymans perspective on popular church teachings and practices and their impact on revival in black majority churches This book looks at the role recent and emerging Biblical teachings have in shaping the church as it moves forward in its role as the Bride of Christ. It also sheds some insight into revival. How they come about, the qualities of the people God uses to bring revival to a nation and the impact of revival in our lives, the church and community. Whose Church is it Anyway boldly addresses several issues that the average Christian shies away from, in particular, obedience to God and motives for doing what we do. This book has been written for both lay members and church leaders in a none threatening friendly way and is easy to read. It will challenge and inspire you as you read through its pages. Pastor Roland Henshaw Word of Life Church, London, England I picked up this book to read and could not put it down. Peter Una has written straight from his heart with passion, fervour and deep cutting honesty. The contents of these pages will challenge your life and drive you to your knees. The truth outlined here will annoy church-goers but bless followers of Jesus Christ. This compelling book will help you build Gods Kingdom, de-clutter for destiny and stand ready for eternity. Dr. Jonathan Oloyede Convener of Global Day of Prayer, London, England

This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, renowned philosopher Merold Westphal introduces current philosophical thinking related to interpreting the Bible. Recognizing that no theology is completely free of philosophical "contamination," he engages and mines contemporary hermeneutical theory in service of the church. After providing a historical overview of contemporary theories of interpretation, Westphal addresses postmodern hermeneutical theory, arguing that the relativity embraced there is not the same as the relativism in which "anything goes." Rather, Westphal encourages us to embrace the proliferation of interpretations based on different perspectives as a way to get at the richness of the biblical text.

Book excerpt: Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biblical scholar Robert Wall and pastoral leader Anthony Robinson here join forces to bring the Acts of the Apostles forward to our time as a resource for congregational renewal and transformation.Featuring both careful exegetical study and exciting contemporary exposition, the fifteen chapters of Called to Be Church each first interpret the text of Acts as Scripture and then engage Acts for today's church. The book dives into many of the most vexing issues faced by the church then and now -- such issues as conflict resolution, pluralism and multiculturalism, sexuality, money, church and state, the role of the Holy Spirit, and more.Enhanced by study questions at the end of each chapter, Called to Be Church will lend itself especially well to small-group study within congregations. Pastors, lay readers, students, and ordinary believers alike will find the book helpful and inspiring.
