Introducing Black Theology

Three Crucial Questions for the Evangelical Church

By: Bruce L. Fields

—What is black theology? —What can black theology teach the evangelical church? —What is the future of black theology? These are the questions Bruce Fields addresses in Introducing Black Theology. Defining black theology as a theology of liberation offers insights into the history, future, and nature of black theology. Black theology developed in response to widespread racism and bigotry in the Christian church and seeks to understand the social and historical experiences of African Americans in light of their Christian confession. Fields discusses sources, hermeneutics, and implications of black theology and reflects upon the function and responsibilities of black theologians. This concise, accessible introduction to black theology draws upon history, hermeneutics, culture, and scripture and will create a dialogue of respect and reconciliation between blacks and whites within the evangelical church.

Five Views on the Church and Politics

By: J. Brian Benestad,Robert Benne,Bruce Fields,Thomas W. Heilke,James K.A. Smith

Learn to think deeply about the relationship between church and state in a way that goes beyond mere policy debates and current campaigns. Few topics can grab headlines and stir passions quite like politics, especially when the church is involved. Considering the attention that many Christian parachurch groups, churches, and individual believers give to politics--and of the varying and sometimes divergent political ideals and aims among them--Five Views on the Church and Politics provides a helpful breakdown of the possible Christian approaches to political involvement. General Editor Amy Black brings together five top-notch political theologians in the book, each representing one of the five key political traditions within Christianity: Anabaptist (Separationist: the most limited possible Christian involvement in politics) - represented by Thomas Heilke Lutheran (Paradoxical: strong separation of church and state) – represented by Robert Benne Black Church (Prophetic: the church's mission is to be a voice for communal reform) – represented by Bruce Fields Reformed (Transformationist: emphasizes God's sovereignty over all things, including churches and governments) – represented by James K. A. Smith Catholic (Synthetic: encouragement of political participation as a means to further the common good of all people) – represented by J. Brian Benestad Each author addresses his tradition's theological distinctives, the role of government, the place of individual Christian participation in government and politics, and how churches should (or should not) address political questions. Responses by each contributor to opposing views will highlight key areas of difference and disagreement. Thorough and even-handed, Five Views on the Church and Politics will enable readers to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the most significant Christian views on political engagement and to draw their own, informed conclusions.

Family Unconscious an Invisible Bond

By: Edward Bruce Bynum

From the foreword by Stanley Krippner author of "Realms of Healing": ." . . these pages may provide a route of mending and healing for many families . . . conveys the richness of shared imagery and emotionality that operates in the life of each family member." The family group, the individual, clinical psychologists, all will find this book enormously helpful. Dr. Taub-Bynum, himself a clinical psychologist, appears to be the long needed catalyst to bring the family, as a unit, under the umbrella of the collective unconscious. In addition, he relates family behavior to documented case histories of telepathy, clairvoyance and second-sight. Writes Carl A. Whitaker, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin Medical School, Madison: "This capacity to combine concepts of family therapy, the wisdom of the East, and the wisdom of higher mathematics and physics puts (the author) in a unique position to formulate things which I respect, admire, and follow ... I am firmly convinced that members of the same family read each other in great detail and that most of that information never reaches consciousness." Comments Erik Peper, Director Biofeedback and Family Therapy Institute, Berkeley, California: ." . . offers both layman and therapist new underlying concepts in individual and family dynamics ..." EDWARD BRUCE BYNUM, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and Director of the Behaviorial Medicine Program at the University of Massachusetts Health Services. He is also the author of Families and the Interpretation of Dreams. He has published widely in both popular and professional journals. Some of his work has been translated into German, Japanese, and Russian. He is a student and practitioner of Kundalini Yoga.
