Reclaiming an Evangelical History of Activism In recent years,
there has been renewed interest by evangelicals in the topic of
biblical social justice. Younger evangelicals and millennials, in
particular, have shown increased concern for social issues. But
this is not a recent development. Following World War II, a new
movement of American evangelicals emerged who gradually increased
their efforts on behalf of justice. This work explains the
important historical context for evangelical reengagement with
social justice issues. The authors provide an overview of
post-World War II evangelical social justice and compassion
ministries, introducing key figures and seminal organizations that
propelled the rediscovery of biblical justice. They explore
historical and theological lessons learned and offer a way forward
for contemporary Christians.

Originality Published in English in 1988, Joseph Ratzinger's
Eschatology remains internationally recognized as a leading text on
the "last things"--heaven and hell, purgatory and judgment, death
and the immortality of the soul. This highly anticipated second
edition includes a new preface by Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict
XVI and a supplement to the bibliography by theologian Peter A.
Casarella. Eschatology presents a balanced perspective of the
doctrine at the center of Christian belief--the Church's faith in
eternal life. Recognizing the task of contemporary eschatology as
"to marry perspectives, so that person and community, present and
future, are seen in their unity," Joseph Ratzinger brings together
recent emphasis on the theology of hope for the future with the
more traditional elements of the doctrine. His book has proven to
be as timeless as it is timely.
Suicide is the nation's tenth leading cause of death, and in 2018
nearly 50,000 people in the US died by suicide, with thousands more
attempting to take their own lives. Countless others experience
suicidal ideation due to depression, anxiety, addiction, and more,
living for years in silent misery. The sad truth is that someone
you know may be suffering. With great compassion and clear,
actionable strategies, So Much to Live For shows you what to do,
what to say, and how to intervene if you suspect a friend or loved
one is considering suicide. You'll learn the signs and symptoms,
understand the causes, and build the courage to step up and speak
out. God heals wounds and repairs brokenness, and he often does it
using people like you. You can be instrumental in saving the life
of a suicidal person you know. This book shows you how.
