Transforming Resources
by M. Robert Mulholland Jr.

paperbackBeyond Racial Gridlock
Embracing Mutual Responsibility
by George Yancey
Christians have struggled with racial issues for centuries, and often inadvertently contribute to the problem. Many proposed solutions have been helpful, but these only take us so far.

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.
