Khaled Anatolios, a noted expert on the development of Nicene
theology, offers a historically informed theological study of the
development of the doctrine of the Trinity, showing its relevance
to Christian life and thought today. According to Anatolios, the
development of trinitarian doctrine involved a global
interpretation of Christian faith as a whole. Consequently, the
meaning of trinitarian doctrine is to be found in a reappropriation
of the process of this development, such that the entirety of
Christian existence is interpreted in a trinitarian manner. The
book provides essential resources for this reappropriation by
identifying the network of theological issues that comprise the
"systematic scope" of Nicene theology, focusing especially on the
trinitarian perspectives of three major theologians: Athanasius,
Gregory of Nyssa, and Augustine. It includes a foreword by Brian E.
Daley.

From the Yukon to Seattle, the hope of a new beginning waits just
around the corner. Addie Bryant is haunted by her past of
heartbreak and betrayal. After her beau, Isaac Hanson, left the
Yukon, she made a vow to wait for him. When she's sold to a brothel
owner after the death of her father, Addie manages to escape with
the hope that she can forever hide her past and the belief that she
will never have the future she's always dreamed of. Years later,
Addie has found peace in her new life as a photographer, training
Camera Girls to operate and sell the Brownie camera. During the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo in Seattle, Addie is reunited with Isaac,
but after the path her life has taken, she's afraid to expose the
ugliness of her former life and to move toward the future they had
pledged to each other. When her past catches up with her, Addie
must decide whether to run or to stay and face her wounds in order
to embrace her life, her future, and her hope in God.
'It's impossible to visit Church on the Street and not be deeply
moved by the work the organisation does for those in need. It is an
extraordinary place ... 'HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES, from the Foreword
'There are so few people like Pastor Mick that this book deserves a
shelf all to itself.' JEREMY VINE, BROADCASTER AND JOURNALIST An
autobiography that is fast-paced, stirring and a powerful testament
to the love of God, Blown Away tells the story of Pastor Mick
Fleming. No conventional clergyman, Pastor Mick led a life of crime
and addiction before being called by God to become a Christian
minister. Brutally raped as a child, he was about to confide in his
parents when the dreadful news came that his sister had died of a
sudden heart-attack. Mick didn't cry again for 30 years, masking
his pain with drink and drugs and working as notorious underworld
fixer - until the day a revelation of faith unravelled his world,
and he found himself utterly 'blown away'. Here he relates his
incredible journey from hardened criminal to discovering who he
truly is in Christ; from helping to destroy lives through drug
dealing, to helping others and saving lives through selflessly
serving those in poverty. Laying bare his struggles in full for the
first time, including a failed attempt at suicide, Pastor Mick
tells how sharing his pain has helped others who are suffering.
Since that first call that set him on the road to becoming a
Christian minister he has seen miracles happen - including being
able not only to forgive, but to help, the man who ruined his life.
Blown Away is a thought-provoking and inspiring Christian
autobiography that offers insight into the violent underworld of
crime, addiction and substance abuse in the UK and reveals the
extraordinary power of faith, forgiveness and redemption. Pastor
Mick's story will move and inspire you on your own faith journey,
and offer hope to those struggling with addiction, grief and
suffering. Told with raw honesty and full of warmth and humanity,
Blown Away is an amazing example of how God can help those even in
the darkest places.
We live in a world of fakers. Rather than being real with each
other, we present a carefully crafted persona that hides our faults
and magnifies our good qualities. But inside we long to be loved,
warts and all. We long to stop hiding from each other--and
especially from God.
With candor and clarity, pastor Rick Bezet calls readers to a life
built on authenticity, showing that the way to true freedom lies
through reclaiming our hearts, reviving our souls, and renewing our
minds in light of what God has done for us through Jesus Christ.
Through biblical stories and (often funny) personal examples, Bezet
encourages readers to live with passion, integrity, and
perseverance. He releases readers from the spiritual death that
comes with pretending and leads them into a new life characterized
by transparency rather than fear.

Fictional reconstructions of the Gospels continue to find a place
in contemporary literature and in the popular imagination. Present
day writers of New Testament fiction and drama are usually
considered as part of a tradition formed by
mid-to-late-twentieth-century authors such as Robert Graves, Nikos
Kazantzakis and Anthony Burgess. This book looks back further to
the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, when the
templates of the majority of today's Gospel fictions and dramas
were set down. In doing so, it examines the extent to which
significant works of biblical scholarship both influenced and
inspired literary works.
Focusing on writers such as Oscar Wilde, George Moore and Marie
Corelli, this timely new addition to the English Association
Monographs series will be essential reading for scholars working at
the intersection of literature and theology.

Often this world seems like a nightmare. Human trafficking, young
girls trapped in brothels, child soldiers forced to become killers,
unchecked plagues and diseases, economic injustice and the
oppression of the poor. Millions around the world are trapped in
this nightmare, and we may feel helpless to do anything about it.
But God has a dream. York Moore paints a vivid picture of how the
dream of God is breaking into history to make all things new.
Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, God is bringing an end
to the world's nightmare of sin and death. Scripture's vision of
Jesus' end-time work shows how the wrongs will be made right, and
God's just judgment is good news for the world. Unpacking how the
Bible describes the last things, Moore shows how we can partner
with God as he brings his dream to reality. Every time a well is
dug for a community, food is provided for the hungry or sex
traffickers are brought to justice, the dream begins to take hold.
This is no mere wishful thinking. The dream of God is more real
than your dreams could ever imagine. It is what we were created
for. So wake up from the nightmare and join in what God is doing in
the world. And flourish as your own dreams are transformed by God's
dream for all creation.
Put Your Faith Into Action
Do you ever feel like something in your faith is missing, that
going to church, studying the Bible, and tithing just aren't
enough? There has to be more, right? What would it look like to
truly "follow" Christ and not just believe in him?
David Nowell asked the very same questions, and was led to minister
to the "least of these," whom God loves deeply. In "Dirty Faith,"
Nowell shares powerful stories of faith in action, and encourages
us to move with him from the sidelines to the front line, to get
our hands dirty helping the hopeless, the disenfranchised, and the
poor.
Loving as God loves is central to the gospel, whether that means
taking in foster children, ministering to inmates at the local
jail, or something else God has in mind just for you. Let this
inspiring book help you find what's been missing in your faith.
"David Nowell has challenged not only our view of the church's
responsibility in light of the worldwide plague of violence on
children--from poverty to homelessness to prostitution--he has
challenged our view of Jesus Christ. Nowell's Jesus has dirt under
his fingernails and calluses on his hands. The Word becoming flesh
is not just incarnation, it is a holiness that is willing to be
stained by the brokenness of a world that would abuse an innocent
child. I want my staff to read this book. It will challenge them to
do what is required of them, and then some." --Dr. Walter Crouch,
President/CEO, Appalachia Service Project
"Filled with unforgettable stories from the field, Nowell's writing
will both break your heart and lift your vision. "Dirty Faith" is a
must-read for those who want to put their faith into action by
serving others." --Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, senior pastor, The Moody
Church

"I was introduced to the gospel of Jesus Christ as a college
student. The Jesus of the New Testament overwhelmed me, and by
God?s grace Jesus still does," writes professor Robbie Castleman,
author of New Testament Essentials. Her love of Jesus and Scripture
is evident in this study, which seeks to answer the question Jesus?
disciples posed: "What kind of man is this?" (Matthew 8:27). New
Testament Essentials introduces us to the New Testament in three
parts: The revelation of God in Jesus Christ, the indwelling of God
in the church by the Holy Spirit and the present and coming kingdom
of God. In each of the twelve studies the author helps us to hear
Scripture in its own historical and cultural context before guiding
us to apply it to our own context. Jesus? life, teachings and works
were thoroughly grounded in the Hebrew Scriptures. And so each
session includes a special feature called "Connecting to the Old
Testament." Through this you will begin to discover the links
between the two testaments and gain a fuller sense of our unfolding
salvation history. Following a format similar to the other volumes
of the Essentials series, each of the 12 sessions includes the
following elements: A memory verse A Bible study A reading A life
application section "Connecting to the Old Testament" feature
Designed to work well on your own, with a partner or in a small
group, New Testament Essentials offers a comprehensive overview
that will enrich your knowledge and deepen your faith.

Robert Barron is one of the Catholic Church's premier theologians
and author of the influential The Priority of Christ. In this
volume, Barron sets forth a thoroughgoing vision for an evangelical
catholic theology that is steeped in the tradition and engaged with
the contemporary world. Striking a balance between academic rigor
and accessibility, the book covers issues of perennial interest in
the twenty-first-century church: who God is, how to rightly worship
him, and how his followers engage contemporary culture. Topics
include the doctrine of God, Catholic theology, philosophy,
liturgy, and evangelizing the culture. This work will be of special
interest to readers concerned about the so-called "new atheism."
When pastor David Beck went to Haiti with a ministry team he found
himself deeply experiencing the power of being Christ's own hands
and feet. Reflecting on what it means to be Christ to others, he
writes: "We come to fulfill Jesus' words that we are the light of
the world and are here to let our light shine so others will
glorify God (Mt 5:14-16). God intends for his children to be
luminous." But how do we get there? Through both personal and
spiritual reflection, this book explores the formational practices
of those who long to become the embodiment of Christ to the world
around them--who long to be what Jesus declared them to be: the
light of the world.
Who's really behind America's appetite for foods from around the
globe? This group biography from an electric new voice in food
writing honours seven extraordinary women, all immigrants, who left
an indelible mark on the way Americans eat today. Taste Makers
stretches from the Second World War to the present, with absorbing
and deeply researched portraits of figures including Mexican-born
Elena Zelayeta, a blind chef; Marcella Hazan, the deity of Italian
cuisine and Norma Shirley, a champion of Jamaican dishes. In
imaginative, lively prose, Mayukh Sen-a queer, brown child of
immigrants-reconstructs the lives of these women in vivid and
empathetic detail, daring to ask why some were famous in their own
time but not in ours and why others shine brightly even today.
Weaving together histories of food, immigration and gender, Taste
Makers challenges the way readers look at what's on their plate-and
the women whose labour, overlooked for so long, makes those meals
possible.
