paperbackTheology Remixed
Christianity as Story, Game, Language, Culture
by Adam C. English
Jesus didn't give his followers a fixed set of statements defining everything they needed to know about the kingdom of God in a neat package. Rather he told stories, made comparisons, drew contrasts. He talked of a mustard seed, of yeast and of a hidden treasure to communicate some of the most important truths of the faith. Jesus didn't fall back on parables because he lacked the right words. Parables ...

paperbackLiturgical Theology
The Church as Worshiping Community
by Simon Chan
Bad worship produces bad theology, and bad theology produces an unhealthy church. In Liturgical Theology, Simon Chan issues a call to evangelicals to develop a mature theology of the church--an ecclesiology that is grounded in the church's identity as a worshiping community.

Introducing an Agenda for an Age of Global Crisis
by Carl A. Raschke

paperbackAlways Reforming
Explorations in Systematic Theology
Edited by A. T. B. McGowan
The Reformed churches of the sixteenth century affirmed the need to be semper reformanda--always reforming. But in the ensuing centuries, some have taken this conviction as a mandate to abandon the departure from received orthodoxy, while others have progressed toward a rigid confessionalism that cements the Reformation itself as a final codification of truth. Between these extremes ...
