Rene Girard holds up the gospels as mirrors that reveal our broken
humanity, and shows that they also reflect a new reality that can
make us whole. Like Simone Weil, Girard looks at the Bible as a map
of human behavior, and sees Jesus Christ as the turning point
leading to new life.
The title echoes Jesus' words: "I saw Satan falling like
lightning from heaven". Girard persuades us that even as our world
grows increasingly violent the power of the Christ-event is so
great that the evils of scapegoating and sacrifice are being
defeated even now. A new community, God's nonviolent kingdom, is
being realized -- even now.

Although our planet faces numerous ecological crises, including
climate change, many Christians continue to view their faith as
primarily a "spiritual" matter that has little relationship to the
world in which we live. But Steven Bouma-Prediger contends that
protecting and restoring our planet is part and parcel of what it
means to be a Christian. Making his case from Scripture, theology,
and ethics and including insights from the global church,
Bouma-Prediger explains why Christians must acknowledge their
identity as earthkeepers and therefore embrace their calling to
serve and protect their home planet and fellow creatures. To help
readers put an "earthkeeping faith" into practice, he also suggests
numerous practical steps that concerned believers can take to care
for the planet. Bouma-Prediger unfolds a biblical vision of
earthkeeping and challenges Christians to view care for the earth
as an integral part of Christian discipleship.
This is an introduction to African Christian ethics for Christian
colleges and Bible schools. The book is divided into two parts. The
first part deals with the theory of ethics, while the second
discusses practical issues. The issues are grouped into the
following six sections: Socio-Political Issues, Financial Issues,
Marriage Issues, Sexual Issues, Medical Issues, and Religious
Issues. Each section begins with a brief general introduction,
followed by the chapters dealing with specific issues in that area.
Each chapter begins with an introduction, discusses traditional
African thinking on the issue, presents an analysis of relevant
biblical material, and concludes with some recommendations. There
are questions at the end of each chapter for discussion or personal
reflection, often asking students to reflect on how the discussion
in the chapter applies to their ministry situation.
When the New Atheists famously coined the phrase 'There's probably
no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life,' they implicitly
suggested that it was no longer reasonable to believe in God. Brian
Harris tackles three of the most common accusations made against
the Christian faith, namely that Christianity is intellectually
vacuous, morally suspect and experientially empty. He looks at each
accusation in turn, outlining the issue in the first chapter of
each section, then looking at evidence against the claim before
evaluating the argument as a whole. He is clear that he is not
trying to 'prove' that Christianity is true as he acknowledges that
absolute proof is impossible in this life, and in reality there are
many tough and challenging questions to be faced - whether you are
a Christian believer, a believer in another faith, an agnostic or
an atheist. This book explores these questions in a rigorous but
accessible way. It doesn't offer easy, solve everything answers,
but it does build a cumulative case based on reason, history and
experience to suggest that God probably exists, and that the
Christian understanding of God could well be valid.

Pastors and leaders of the classical church--such as Augustine,
Calvin, Luther, and Wesley--interpreted the Bible theologically,
believing Scripture as a whole witnessed to the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Modern interpreters of the Bible questioned this premise.
But in recent decades, a critical mass of theologians and biblical
scholars has begun to reassert the priority of a theological
reading of Scripture. The Brazos Theological Commentary on the
Bible enlists leading theologians to read and interpret Scripture
for the twenty-first century, just as the church fathers, the
Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did for their times and
places. In the sixth volume in the series, Phillip Cary presents a
theological exegesis of Jonah.
