Debt is often thought of as a mere economic variable governed by a
simplistic mechanical logic, ignoring its other facets. Whose debt,
and debt of what exactly? This volume analyzes debt as a political
and social construct, with a multiplicity of purposes and agents.
All of these are vectors of meanings that are highly diverse, and
of subtle distinctions; they show that debt is a transverse
phenomenon, cutting across spaces that are not merely economic but
also domestic, social and political. Each contributor takes a fresh
view of the subject, dealing with debt at a different time, in a
different society, on a different scale of observation. By adopting
a determinedly interdisciplinary approach, the authors reveal in
the phenomenon of debt a diversity of social and gendered
determinants that amount in some cases to domination, allegiance or
slavery, and in others to solidarity and emancipation. Debt is at
one and the same time shared, imposed, political and gendered.

An exploration of what worship looks like from a biblical
standpoint and why the topic of worship can be so contentious among
Christians. Because worship is inherently theological--because it's
a manifestation of humanity's response to God's holiness--it's
important to take seriously how we worship and the roles it serves
in personal displays of adoration and in community with other
believers. Exploring the Worship Spectrum provides an overview,
critique, and celebration of six prominent worship styles:
Formal-Liturgical - represented by Paul Zahl Traditional Hymn-Based
- represented by Harold Best Contemporary Music-Driven -
represented by Joe Horness Charismatic - represented by Don
Williams Blended - represented by Robert Webber Emerging -
represented by Sally Morgenthaler This unique format allows those
with a heart for worship to compare different perspectives and draw
their own conclusions on what the Bible teaches. It allows readers
to understand the various approaches to worship, carefully evaluate
their strengths and weaknesses, and make personal choices without
adopting a judgmental spirit. The Counterpoints series presents a
comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to
Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical
text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to
evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their
own, educated opinion.
