caseboundPositive Psychology in Christian Perspective
Foundations, Concepts, and Applications
Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books
by Charles Hackney
"Some theories of [psychology] are based largely on the behavior of sick and anxious people or upon the antics of captive and desperate rats. Fewer theories have been derived from the study of healthy human beings, those who strive not so much to preserve life as to make it worth living. Thus we find . . . many studies of criminals, few of law-abiders; many of fear, few of courage; ...

Reading a Century of German Mission Theology
Missiological Engagements
by John G. Flett and Henning Wrogemann
The gospel is for every tribe, tongue, and nation (Revelation 7:9), but there is no single biblical or theological model for the relationship between the gospel and these diverse cultures.

paperbackThe Essential Jesus
100 Readings Through the Bible's Greatest Story
by Whitney T. Kuniholm
Jesus is the most influential person of human history. "Jesus never became a political, military or government leader; he never wanted to.

Discipleship and Community Without Judgmentalism
by Mark D. Baker
Christians can be adept at drawing lines, determining what it means to be "a good Christian" and judging those who stray out of bounds.

Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by John R. Franke
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe history of the entry into the Promised Land followed by the period of the Judges and early monarchy may not appear to readers today as a source for expounding the Christian faith. But the church fathers readily found parallels, or types, in the narrative that illumined the New Testament. An obvious link was the similarity in name between Joshua, Moses' successor, and Jesus—indeed, ...
