    The Ascended Christ and the Ministry of the Church

    New Explorations in Theology

    by Joseph H. Sherrard
    Foreword by Alan Torrance

    Christ has ascended. Yet his work continues.

    Much has been made of a "missional" view of the church in recent theological literature, but largely overlooked in this discussion has been the contribution that T. F. Torrance, the late Church of Scotland minister and theologian, can make to this discussion. Addressing this lacuna, theologian and pastor Joseph Sherrard considers ...

    The Message of Esther

    The Bible Speaks Today Series

    by David G. Firth

    The book of Esther tells the dramatic story of how the destruction of the Jews was averted through the bravery of Esther, the wisdom of Mordecai, and the unity of the Jewish people. Yet Esther is a rather strange book to find in the Bible. Not only is it set entirely outside of the Promised Land, it also shows no interest in that land. More than that, Esther is the only book in ...

    Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry

    From a Strategy of Influence to a Theology of Incarnation

    by Andrew Root

    Relational youth ministry, also known as incarnational ministry, can feel like a vicious cycle of guilt: "I should be spending time with kids, but I just don't want to."

It may be that the ...

Beale concludes with an application of the biblical notion of idolatry to the challenges of contemporary ...

    Why I Am Roman Catholic

    Ecumenical Dialogue Series

    by Matthew Levering

    The Roman Catholic tradition in Christianity is breathtaking, complex, and rich in insight about what it means to follow God. But what does it look like to claim this tradition as one's own? And how does this intersect with the reality of our daily and personal lives?

    In this vulnerable and succinct volume, theologian Matthew Levering addresses the heart of these questions. ...
