Globalization. Homelessness. Ecological and economic crisis.
Conflicts over sexuality. Violence. These crisis-level issues may
seem unique to our times, but Paul's Letter to the Romans has
something to say to all of them. Following their successful
Colossians Remixed, Sylvia Keesmaat and Brian Walsh unpack the
meaning of Romans for its original context and for today. The
authors demonstrate how Romans disarms the political, economic, and
cultural power of the Roman Empire and how this ancient letter
offers hope in today's crisis-laden world. Romans Disarmed helps
readers enter the world of ancient Rome and see how Paul's most
radical letter transforms the lives of the marginalized then and
now. Intentionally avoiding abstract debates about Paul's theology,
Keesmaat and Walsh move back and forth between the present and the
past as they explore themes of home, economic justice, creation
care, the violence of the state, sexuality, and Indigenous
reconciliation. They show how Romans engages with the lived reality
of those who suffer from injustice, both in the first century and
in the midst of our own imperial realities.
For forty years, singer and songwriter Bruce Cockburn has been
writing beautifully evocative music. Bestselling author and
respected theologian Brian Walsh has followed Cockburn's work for
years and has written and spoken often on his art. In this creative
theological and cultural engagement, Walsh reveals the imaginative
depth and uncompromising honesty of the artist's Christian
spirituality. Cockburn offers hope in the midst of doubt, struggle,
failure, and anger; indeed, the sentiment of "kicking at the
darkness" is at the heart of his spirituality. This book engages
the rich imagery of Cockburn's lyrics as a catalyst for shaping and
igniting a renewed Christian imagination.
Science, technology and economic growth motivate our society. Each
is carried on with little regard for Christian concerns. Brian
Walsh and Richard Middleton yearn for change. They long to see
Christianity penetrate the structures of society, reforming and
remolding our culture. From scholarship in the universities to
politics, business and family life, the Christian vision can
transform our world. To stimulate such change the authors analyze
our troubled age, show us how it got that way and suggest a
solution. Their clear presentation of a Christian world view forms
the basis of their hope.
