re-imagination and re-construction that draws from biblical
studies, theology, organizational theory, leadership studies, and

Since the publication of the groundbreaking volume Missional Church
in 1998, there has been wide-ranging engagement with the missional
church theme. In this book Darrell Guder builds on that ongoing
discussion by considering basic theological issues that must be
addressed if the church is to be faithful to its calling to serve
God as Christ's witnessing people. Guder argues that there are
major consequences for every classical theological locus if the
fundamental claims of the missional church discussion are
acknowledged. In Called to Witness Guder delves into these
consequences, saying that we need to keep doing missional theology
until it is possible to leave off the "missional scaffolding"
because, after all, mission defines the very essence and calling of
the church.

In recognition of Karl Barth's stature as a theologian and public
figure in the life of Europe and the West, Swiss publisher
Theologischer Verlag Zurich (TVZ) published Conversations, a
collection of correspondence, articles, interviews, and other
short-form writings by Barth. Collected in three volumes,
Conversations reveals the depth and breadth of Barth's theological
thought, as well as his humor and humanity. Now, for the first time
in English, the second of those volumes is offered here. Covering
the year 1963, Volume 2 highlights a period in which Barth was
especially active, particularly in regard to ecumenism and issues
related to the Cold War. Within these pages, scholars and students
will find a comprehensive view into Barth's life and beliefs about
theology and its role in modern society.
In this provocative book, Guder argues that the incarnation of God
in Jesus provides the foundational model for the practice of
Christian missions in the world today.
Western society is now a very different, very difficult mission
field. In such a situation, the mission of evangelism cannot
succeed with an attitude of -business as usual.- This volume builds
a theology of evangelism that has its focus on the church itself.
Darrell Guder shows that the church's missionary calling requires
that the theology and practice of evangelism be fundamentally
rethought and redirected, focused on the continuing evangelization
of the church so that it can carry out its witness faithfully in
today's world. In Part 1 Guder explores how, under the influence of
reductionism and individualism, the church has historically moved
away from a biblical theology of evangelism. Part 2 presents
contemporary challenges to the church's evangelical ministry,
especially those challenges that illustrate the church's need for
continuing conversion. Part 3 discusses what a truly missional
theology would mean for the church, including sweeping changes in
its institutional structures and practices. Written for teachers,
church leaders, and students of evangelism, this volume is vital
reading for everyone engaged in mission work.
What would a theology of the church look like that took seriously
the fact that North America is now itself a mission field? This
question lies at the foundation of this volume written by an
ecumenical team of six noted missiologists -- Lois Barrett,
Inagrace T. Dietterich, Darrell L. Guder, George R. Hunsberger,
Alan J. Roxburgh, and Craig Van Gelder.
The result of a three-year research project undertaken by The
Gospel and Our Culture Network, this book issues a firm challenge
for the church to recover its missional call right here in North
America, while also offering the tools to help it do so. The
authors examine North America's secular culture and the church's
loss of dominance in today's society. They then present a
biblically based theology that takes seriously the church's
missional vocation and draw out the consequences of this theology
for the structure and institutions of the church.
Widely regarded as the twentieth century's greatest theologian,
Karth Barth refocused the task of Christian theology and
demonstrated its relevance to every domain of human life, from the
spiritual to the social to the political. It is precisely the broad
sweep of Barth's theology that makes a book like The Great Passion
of such great value -- a succinct yet comprehensive introduction to
Barth's entire theological program. Of the many people who write on
the life and thought of Karl Barth, Eberhard Busch is uniquely
placed. A world-renowned expert on Barth's theology, he also served
as Barth's personal assistant from 1965 to 1968. As Busch explains,
one cannot fully understand Barth the theologian apart from
understanding Barth the man. In this book he weaves doctrine and
biography into a superb presentation of Barth's complete work.
Busch's purpose in this introduction is to guide readers through
the main themes of the multivolume Church Dogmatics against the
horizon of our own times and problems. In ten sections Busch
clearly explains Barth's views on all of the major subject areas of
systematic theology: the nature of revelation, Israel and
Christology, the Trinity and the doctrine of predestination, the
-problem- of religion, gospel and law, creation, salvation, the
Holy Spirit, ecclesiology, and eschatology. A distinctive feature
of the book is the way Busch lets Barth speak for himself, often
through surprising quotations and paraphrases. Busch also shows how
Barth's writing should be read as a dialogue, constantly and
consciously engaging other voices past and present, both inside and
outside the church. Most important, The Great Passion demonstrates
that Barth's thought is still remarkably helpful today.
