Revelation

By: John Christopher Thomas,Frank D. Macchia

The book of Revelation is perhaps the most theologically complex and literarily sophisticated — and also the most sensual — document in the New Testament. In this commentary John Christopher Thomas’s literary and exegetical analysis makes the challenging text of Revelation more accessible and easier to understand. Frank Macchia follows up with sustained theological essays on the book’s most significant themes and issues, accenting especially the underappreciated place of the Holy Spirit in the theology of Revelation.

Jimmy's Faith

James Baldwin, Disidentification, and the Queer Possibilities of Black Religion

By: Christopher Hunt

A novel approach to understanding the work of James Baldwin and its transformative potential The relationship of James Baldwin’s life and work to Black religion is in many ways complex and confounding. What is he doing through his literary deployment of religious language and symbols? Despite Baldwin’s disavowal of Christianity in his youth, he continued to engage the symbols and theology of Christianity in works such as The Amen Corner, Just Above My Head, and others. With Jimmy’s Faith, author Christopher W. Hunt shows how Baldwin’s usage of those religious symbols both shifted their meaning and served as a way for him to build his own religious and spiritual vision. Engaging José Esteban Muñoz’s theory of disidentification as a queer practice of imagination and survival, Hunt demonstrates the ways in which James Baldwin disidentifies with and queers Black Christian language and theology throughout his literary corpus. Baldwin’s vision is one in which queer sexuality signifies the depth of love’s transforming possibilities, the arts serve as the (religious) medium of knitting Black community together, an agnostic and affective mysticism undermines Christian theological discourse, “androgyny” troubles the gender binary, and the Black child signifies the hope for a world made new. In disidentifying with Christian symbols, Jimmy’s Faith reveals how Baldwin imagines both religion and the world “otherwise,” offering a model of how we might do the same for our own communities and ourselves.

Send My Roots Rain

Refreshing the spiritual life of priests

By: Christopher Chapman

The pressure of expectations often means that priests fail to care for themselves and neglect their own spiritual life. Thinking they must be able to do it all, the need to be constantly available, to achieve and succeed, to cope with difficult people, to defend church teaching they question, lack of time for prayer, unresolved doubt and personal difficulty can all cause spiritual malaise. Send My Roots Rain explores these pressures and offers realistic and supportive ways priests can address them while nurturing their own wellbeing and spiritual development. Christopher Chapman draws on more than thirty years’ experience of spiritual direction, formational training and retreat leading, as well as his own experience of priesthood, to offer a host of simple, life-giving practices and personal disciplines for spiritual health. Full of wise advice from someone who understands, this is a book that priests will turn to again and again.

A Treasure Hid in a Field

By: Christopher Wallace

Are you considering Catholicism and find it difficult to accept certain Catholic teachings? Do you frequently struggle with explaining Catholicism to people who often use Scripture to challenge your faith? Are you currently Catholic and are struggling with the temptation to leave the Catholic Church? Are you trying to understand more about the Catholic faith? If so, A Treasure Hid in a Field is for you. This book contains a through overview of Catholicism which helps the reader sort through the many theological differences between Catholicism and Protestantism and helps the reader to come to a greater theological understanding of Catholicism. Therefore, A Treasure Hid in a Field is an overview of Catholicism written from the perspective of a minister converting from Protestantism to Catholicism. The focus is upon explaining how I had served as a Protestant minister for twenty years but came to the knowledge of the fullness of the truth where I had never anticipated. The purpose of the book is to help those who may be following my same journey, those who may already be Catholic and need help in responding to common objections to Catholicism presented by Protestants, individuals who may be struggling with the temptation to leave the Catholic Church, or those who may simply be seeking to learn more about the Catholic faith. The overall theme of this book is based on the two ways theme found throughout Scripture, applied to Catholicism and Protestantism. During my conversion process, I often found myself facing the choice between two paths, which always resulted in the path toward Catholicism. Even the topics included in this book that were not a particular crossroads in my journey are presented in the same format for the sake of those to whom a particular doctrine might serve as a challenge. Therefore, each chapter is presented as a question, or a choice between two ways, which for me resulted in my conversion from Protestantism to Catholicism.

The Psalms (Volume 4, Psalms 101–150)

A Christ-Centered Commentary

By: Christopher Ash

Commentary from Christopher Ash Sets Out a Deeply Christian Study of Psalms 101–150 While reading Psalms, it is common for commentaries to focus on Old Testament meaning, without connecting it deeply to Christ's fulfillment in the New Testament. By studying Scripture this way, believers miss out on the fullness of God's word. The key to experiencing authentically Christian worship is learning a Christ-focused approach to praying and singing the Psalms. In this thorough commentary, Christopher Ash provides a careful treatment of Psalms 101–150, examining each psalm's significance to David and the other psalmists, to Jesus during his earthly ministry, and to the church of Christ in every age. Ash includes introductory quotations, a deep analysis of the text's structure and vocabulary, and a closing reflection and response, along with selected quotations from older readings of the Psalms. Perfect for pastors, Bible teachers, and students, this commentary helps readers sing and pray the Psalms with Christ in view. Exhaustive: Christopher Ash's exegesis explores how the Psalms are quoted and echoed throughout the New Testament Applicable and Heartfelt: Explains how a Christ-centered approach to reading the Psalms influences doctrines of prayer, prophecy, the Trinity, ecclesiology, and more Ideal for Pastors and Serious Students of Scripture: Written for Bible teachers, Sunday school and youth leaders, and small-group leaders

Reading John

Reading John

By: Christopher W. Skinner

The Gospel of John is often found at the center of discussions about the Bible and its relation to Christian theology. It is difficult to quantify the impact John's Gospel has had on both the historical development of Christian doctrine and the various expressions of Christian devotion. All too often, however, readers have failed to understand the Gospel as an autonomous text with its own unique story to tell. More often than not, the Gospel of John is swept into a reading approach that either conflates or attempts to harmonize with other accounts of Jesus' life. This book emphasizes the uniqueness of John's story of Jesus and attempts to provide readers with a road map for appreciating the historical context and literary features of the text. The aim of this book is to help others become better, more perceptive readers of the Gospel of John, with an ability to trace the rhetoric of the narrative from beginning to end. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
