    Critical Theology

    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, ...

    The Message of Isaiah

    The Bible Speaks Today Series

    by Barry G. Webb

    The book of Isaiah is outstanding in its brilliance of style, poetic power, and foretaste of the hope of the gospel.

    The New Conspirators

    Creating the Future One Mustard Seed at a Time

    by Tom Sine
    Foreword by Shane Claiborne

    "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed," Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew, "nothing will be impossible for you." That sounds good, but does it work in a world where seeds are genetically altered by an impatient few and hard to come by for countless others? In a world where the gulf between the very rich and the profoundly poor is constantly growing, can a mustard-seed faith make any ...

    The Emotions of God

    Making Sense of a God Who Hates, Weeps, and Loves

    by David T. Lamb

    The God of the Bible is emotional. Many Christians don't want to associate emotions with God. Emotions feel irrational, and the idea of God experiencing hate, anger, and jealousy can be confusing and problematic. And yet the Bible is full of stories where God expresses deep emotion. Christians are often left wondering how to reconcile the tension of an all-powerful God expressing ...

    Dismantling Whiteness for a More Just Christianity

    by Grace Ji-Sun Kim
    Foreword by David P. Gushee

    When Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen?

    Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the ...
