Leading ethicist and pastoral theologian Brian Brock reflects on
the challenge of disability, refuting widely held misconceptions
and helping readers respond well to the pastoral implications of
disability. Brock, the father of a child with special needs, weaves
together theological commentary with narrative reflection, offering
rich theological wisdom for shepherding people with disabilities.
He shows pastors and ministers-in-training that thinking more
closely and theologically about disability is a doorway into a more
vibrant and welcoming church life for all Christians.
"[An] insightful exploration of Christian discipleship in the
digital age."--Publishers Weekly This book offers theological
perspectives on the challenges of discipleship in a digital age,
showing how new technologies and the rise of social media affect
the way we interact with each other, ourselves, and the world.
Written by a Gen X digital immigrant and a Millennial digital
native, the book explores a faithful response to today's technology
as we celebrate our embodied roles as followers of Christ in a
disembodied time.
Publishers Weekly starred review Seasoned pastor and church leader
Will Willimon excels at creating thought-provoking, accessible
books for working pastors and seminarians. In Aging, he takes a
theologically rich look at numerous aspects of growing old. Drawing
on Scripture, literature, current research, and his experiences as
an aging adult, Willimon reflects on aging as a spiritual journey.
He explores the challenging realties as well as the rewarding joys
of growing old and shows pastors how to help their congregants grow
old gracefully and in good Christian hope. Willimon also offers
practical advice on helping church members as they encounter
retirement, aging, caring for the aging, loss, bereavement, and
finding faith in the last quarter of life. This eloquent,
delightfully Christian perspective on aging will be of interest to
all who care for aging souls--not only pastors but also chaplains
and other ministers in hospitals, hospices, and extended care
facilities. About the Series Pastors are called to help people
navigate the profound mysteries of being human, from birth to death
and everything in between. This series, edited by leading pastoral
theologian Jason Byassee, provides pastors and pastors-in-training
with rich theological reflection on the various seasons that make
up a human life, helping them minister with greater wisdom and joy.
Clergy suffer from certain health issues at a rate higher than the
general population. Why are pastors in such poor health? And what
can be done to help them step into the abundant life God desires
for them? Although anecdotal observations about poor clergy health
abound, concrete data from multiple sources supporting this claim
hasn't been made accessible--until now. Duke's Clergy Health
Initiative (CHI), a major, decade-long research project, provides a
true picture of the clergy health crisis over time and demonstrates
that improving the health of pastors is possible. Bringing together
the best in social science and medical research, this book
quantifies the poor health of clergy with theological engagement.
Although the study focused on United Methodist ministers, the
authors interpret CHI's groundbreaking data for a broad ecumenical
readership. In addition to physical health, the book examines
mental health and spiritual well-being, and suggests that
increasing positive mental health may prevent future physical and
mental health problems for clergy. Concrete suggestions tailored to
clergy are woven throughout the book.
"A rare and wonderful theological book that turns something
ordinary--being a friend--into an expression of God's
greatness."--Jeremiah Rood, Foreword (starred review) In this
vibrant theological reflection on the meaning of friendship,
experienced pastor and leading Christian ethicist Victor Lee Austin
argues that friendship is the medium through which God shares grace
with his creatures. Mixing personal reflection and theological
commentary, Austin provides a fresh reading of classical writers
and biblical texts; shows how a robust theology of friendship
addresses contemporary controversies in the areas of marriage,
celibacy, and homosexuality; and draws on cultural examples of the
desire for true friendship. Ultimately, Austin helps readers
understand the strange yet real possibility of friendship with God.

experience of having children, and the new birth of the Christian
life. Seasoned pastor James Howell offers theological perspectives
on a variety of themes associated with birth, such as who we are in
light of having once lived in utero, why people might have
children, infertility, adoption, baptism, and how to make sense of
it all in light of God coming to us first in Mary's womb and then
as an infant. The book includes paintings, photos, and drawings.

The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible encourages readers
to explore how the vital roots of the ancient Christian tradition
inform and shape faithfulness today. In this addition to the
series, a well-known pastoral theologian offers a theological
reading of Psalms 101-150. As with other volumes in the series,
this commentary is designed to serve the church--providing a rich
resource for preachers, teachers, students, and study groups--and
to demonstrate the continuing intellectual and practical viability
of theological interpretation of the Bible.

century. A must-read for Christian Century fans, From the Editor's
Desk examines ten key areas from the years 1999-2015, focusing on
war and peace, civic engagement, newsworthy events, the Middle
East, and congregational life.
