The theological enterprise in the West finds itself in a critical
moment. Traditional models have failed to supply the church with
the proper tools for engaging the hard, persistent realities of
injustice. This is primarily because the models propose a language
of faith that does not begin from the part of life where faith
begins: namely, the testimonies we encounter along the way. Leaving
Emmaus conceives of theology as "thinking with testimonies of
Christian faith," offering new students and seasoned practitioners
alike a "new departure" for Christian discourse. The book
restructures the sources of theology (Scripture, tradition, reason,
experience) to make space for the integration of new voices
alongside a thoughtful reading of Scripture and classic texts of
the tradition. Discussing and interpreting our encounters with the
risen Christ becomes a way of "leaving our home" of personal
experience or faith conviction. In company with Alice Walker,
Gregory of Nyssa, Rowan Williams, and Eve Sedgwick, Anthony Baker
unfolds this integrative language and initiates a new departure
into classical themes of theology, gathered around the central
image of the Emmaus encounter. The "burning hearts" of that
pericope become a periperformative encounter with the Word, issuing
in the Spirit's internal witnesses to the calling of all creation
by the Father to find itself in the risen Christ. In this way the
act of testimony itself becomes a repetition of the trinitarian
God. This repetition carries through each loci of theology, from
theological anthropology to eschatology. Noteworthy among the new
insights this brings are a thoughtfully structured understanding of
sin, a bold recovery of sacrifice, and an integrated theology of
prayer. Baker equips us with a fresh map for navigating the
peculiar demands of our cultural moment through resourcing the
heritage of our shared faith for a theology that witnesses to the
fullness of life and extends welcome to all.

Long Island, particularly the North Shore, was the site of some of
the most lavish and extravagant residences in the world. The
island's beauty, its proximity and easy travel access to New York,
and its suitability for yachting and other recreational pursuits
made it the perfect place for the leisure class. From the Civil War
to World War II, almost 1000 estates were built there, often by the
nation's richest families--Morgan, Vanderbilt, Hearst, Astor,
Woolworth, Chrysler, Whitney, Tiffany, Frick, and Guggenheim, to
name a few. Long Island's rich architectural history is presented
in this important and long-awaited volume. It is at once a
fascinating glimpse at the homes of some of America's wealthiest
families and a complete compendium of the architects who designed
these breathtaking houses. Among them are Delano & Aldrich;
Cass Gilbert; Richard Morris Hunt; McKim, Mead & White; Horace
Trumbauer; Calvert Vaux; and Warren & Wetmore.
