The author of "The Gospel of" "Inclusion" continues to rouse
organized religion as he raises controversial issues and provides
enlightening answers to the deepest questions about God and faith.
What is God? Where is God? Who is the one true God? Questions such
as these have driven a thousand human struggles, through war,
terrorism, and oppression. Humanity has responded by branching off
into multiple religions, including Christianity, Judaism,
Islam--each one pitted against the other. But it doesn't have to be
that way.
In "God Is Not a Christian, nor a Jew, Muslim, Hindu" . . ., the
provocative and acclaimed Bishop Carlton Pearson follows up on his
celebrated first book, "The Gospel of Inclusion," to tackle these
questions and many more, exploring new ideas about God and faith
and putting forth the stunning assertion that God belongs to no
particular religion but is an ever-loving presence available to
all. For these beliefs, Bishop Pearson lost his thriving
Pentecostal ministry but was catapulted instead into a greater
pulpit. His readership has grown through appearances on national
television and an extensive speaking schedule. With the world in
the midst of a holy war, there is no better time for the wisdom of
Bishop Pearson to reach a global audience.
Bishop Pearson's many loyal fans, along with new readers, will
surely welcome this provocative and eye-opening exploration of a
deeper faith, one that goes far beyond any fundamentalist way of
thinking, be it Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc. Simply put,
Bishop Pearson dares to tell the truth so many others are too
afraid to face.

The NIV Youth Bible digs deep into the Word. Covering the key themes
that run all the way through the Bible, it showcases the wisdom,
stories and human lives that we can all learn from. It also highlights
what the Bible says about problems we face today, from tough life and
world issues to the questions you really hope your mates don't ask.
We've asked tough questions (like, 'Why does God allow suffering?' and
'What's Leviticus all about?!') as well as tackling important
twenty-first century issues (like relationships and money). There are
streams on each topic for individual or group study, Bible reading
plans, helpful facts and real-life stories. In short, we've packed
every last thing that we could into these pages - and we've banned all
jargon so it all makes sense!

As inheritors of Platonic traditions, many Jews and Christians
today do not believe that God has a body. God is instead invisible
and incorporeal, and even though Christians believe that God can be
seen in Jesus, God otherwise remains veiled from human sight. In
this ground-breaking work, Brittany E. Wilson challenges this
prevalent view by arguing that early Jews and Christians often
envisioned God as having a visible form. Within the New Testament,
Luke-Acts in particular emerges as an important example of a text
that portrays God in visually tangible ways. According to Luke, God
is a perceptible, concrete being who can take on a variety of
different forms, as well as a being who is intimately intertwined
with human fleshliness in the form of Jesus. In this way, the God
of Israel does not adhere to the incorporeal deity of Platonic
philosophy, especially as read through post-Enlightenment eyes.
Given the corporeal connections between God and Jesus, Luke's
depiction of Jesus's body also points ahead to future controversies
concerning his divinity and humanity in the early church. Indeed,
questions concerning God's body are inextricably linked with
Christology and shed light on how we are to understand Jesus's own
visible embodiment in relation to God. In The Embodied God, Wilson
reframes approaches to early Christology within New Testament
scholarship and calls for a new way of thinking about divine-and
human-bodies and embodied experience.
Margaret Froelich examines the Gospel of Mark using political and
empire-critical methodologies, following postcolonial thinkers in
perceiving a far more ambivalent message than previous pacifistic
interpretations of the text. She argues that Mark does not
represent an entirely new way of thinking about empire or cosmic
structures, but rather exhibits concepts and structures with which
the author and his audience are already familiar in order to
promote the Kingdom of God as a better version of the encroaching
Roman Empire. Froelich consequently understands Mark as a response
to the physical, ideological, and cultural displacement of the
first Roman/Judean War. By looking to Greek, Roman, and Jewish
texts to determine how first-century authors thought of conquest
and expansion, Froelich situates the Gospel directly in a
historical and socio-political context, rather than treating that
context as a mere backdrop; concluding that the Gospel portrays the
Kingdom of God as a conquering empire with Jesus as its victorious
general and client king.
