How can we develop and embody an ecclesiology, in contexts of urban
marginality, that is radically receptive to the gifts and
challenges of the agency of our non-Christian neighbours? Drawing
on resources from political theologies, and in particular
conversation with Graham Ward and Romand Coles, this book
challenges our lazy understanding of receptivity, digging deep to
uncover a rich theological seam which has the potential to
radically alter how theologians think about what we draw from urban
places. It offers a game changing liberative theology rooted not in
the global south but from a position of self-critical privilege.
Real-Time Connections, by Bob Roberts Jr., will show you how to use
your everyday passions to make a global impact while staying
attentive to your job, your home, and your family. The Great
Commission is not just for professional clergy; it is a charge to
every follower of Christ---ordinary Christians like you and me. Bob
Roberts urges you as a disciple of Jesus to reclaim your share in
God s transforming work around the globe. Roberts illuminates the
ways that Christians from any walk of life can use the everyday
skills of their career and/or passion in service of God s kingdom.
Today s global economy offers you, a follower of Jesus,
opportunities to interact with nations and people groups once
accessed only by remote missionaries. This book demonstrates the
world-changing possibilities your vocation holds when used in
service of God s kingdom. Real Time Connections forges a new path
as Christianity addresses a globalized world. It is well worth
reading. - Bob Buford, founder, Leadership Network"
WARNING: Peter warned that multitudes could be lead to their own
destruction by misinterpreting some of Paul's letters. Speaking of
Paul... "his letters contain some things that are hard to
understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort (untrained
in the knowledge of the Torah) as they do the other Scriptures, to
their own destruction. Therefore, dear friends, since you have been
forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by
the error of the lawless... those who do not walk in the way of the
Torah-Law]" (2 Peter 3:16, 17; commentary added). Why is Peter
warning us of Paul's letters? Peter understood Paul's style of
teaching, which was from an intellectual and philosophical Greek
mindset. Peter knew that unschooled people and those unlearned in
the ways of Torah would misunderstand them and would be misled by
teachers who manipulate the letters to elevate and profit from
them, ultimately leading many to their own destruction. ITZHAK BEN
AARON LEVY was born and raised in Israel and comes to us from the
priestly tribe of Levy. Rabbi Levy uses history and the Bible in
the making of this book; his teachings fall in the middle between
Judaism and Christianity, bridging the divide. Levy has chosen
Paul's letters since they have been a pivotal point of controversy
when compared to the other writers of the New Testament. Knowing
that Paul was schooled in the Hebrew language, Levy has used Paul's
translated letters from Greek to Hebrew in order to help the reader
better understand Paul's Hebrew thinking. By doing this, Levy
delivers the true intent of Paul's letters while removing the
controversial shadow that was cast on Paul for 2,000 years,
allowing the real Paul to come forth. "Thought provoking...
enlightening... once I started reading, I couldn't put it down."
-MSK "This book sheds much clarity on Paul the person." - B. Jensen
"A truly enlightened deliverance of Paul." R. Welsh

PENTECOSTAL THEOLOGY VOL. 2: Jewels of the Christian Faith
The forty-one years between the Society of Jesus's papal
suppression in 1773 and its eventual restoration in 1814 remain
controversial, with new research and interpretations continually
appearing. Shore's narrative approaches these years, and the period
preceding the suppression, from a new perspective that covers
individuals not usually discussed in works dealing with this topic.
As well as examining the contributions of former Jesuits to fields
as diverse as ethnology-a term and concept pioneered by an
ex-Jesuit-and library science, where Jesuits and ex-Jesuits laid
the groundwork for the great advances of the nineteenth century,
the essay also explores the period the exiled Society spent in the
Russian Empire. It concludes with a discussion of the Society's
restoration in the broader context of world history.
