paperbackWe Become What We Worship
A Biblical Theology of Idolatry
by G. K. Beale

Whether under the Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks or Romans, the people chosen by God have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and under foreign rule. For much of its history, however, the Christian church lived with the sense of being at home in the world, with considerable influence and power. That ...

Introducing an Agenda for an Age of Global Crisis
by Carl A. Raschke
What is the future of theology in the midst of rapid geopolitical and economic change? Carl A. Raschke contends that two options from the last century—crisis theology and critical theory—do not provide the resources needed to address the current global crisis. Both of these perspectives remained distant from the messiness and unpredictability of life. Crisis theology spoke of the wholly other God, ...

Can we see triumph in tragedy, victory in shame? Why should an object of Roman distaste and ...
