Domestic violence is a significant threat to women's survival. But
Christian understandings of marriage often prevent women from
resisting abusive relationships. Can the Church's teaching on
marriage be reshaped so that it helps women to survive, rather than
encourage them to submit to their husband, bear their cross, or
sacrifice themselves for the sake of their marriage? Focusing on
everyday practices of marriage in two very different contexts:
Argentina and England, Reimagining Theologies of Marriage in
Contexts of Domestic Violence considers how Christian
understandings of marriage as a covenant or sacrament relate to the
lived experience of marriage. Drawing on Augustine's notion of the
goods of marriage, and on belief in the saving power of marriage,
this book suggests that only when the wellbeing of bodies is
central to a marriage can it have the power to save.
Become the Light of Christ in Dark Places When she was only
twenty-three years old, Rachelle Starr started going to strip clubs
to share Christ's love with the dancers. Now, having founded a
Christian ministry to people in the adult entertainment industry,
she demonstrates the key to shining Christ's light into the
darkness--love people one at a time and continue to love them no
matter what. Loving others like Jesus did has to be more than
social media shares and likes--we need to meet people in their
pain, growing in our empathy and love for those God has placed in
our lives. But maybe you're afraid or unsure where to start. This
book will light a fire in your soul to step out in greater ways and
to become fearlessly and outrageously obedient to the Lord. Be
inspired by Rachelle's true stories and biblical encouragement, and
discover the courage to say yes to God. Then witness the fruit and
the blessings of your obedience! "You may never have Bible studies
with prostitutes, but you will be invigorated and galvanized by
Rachelle's infectious stories and plain-spoken truth."--KYLE

Feminist practical theology has emerged in the gap between wider
feminist and wider practical theology. It celebrates distinctive
concerns, arguments, emphases, and questions – unafraid to
re-form practical theology in shape and substance, and to guide
feminist theology towards the silences and stories of human lives
that some professional theologies (including those shaped by
feminist commitments) sometimes overlooks. Feminist practical
theology is bold in exploration of doctrinal themes in poetic and
prayerful modes, characteristically collaborative and in search of
alliances with other advocacy perspectives. In the UK, such
commitments have been exemplified by Nicola Slee, whom this volume
honours. Chapters invite readers into wide ranging conversations
that flow from young women’s experiences at university, poetic
practice as theology, queer priesthood, theologies of critical
masculinities, women presiding in worship, Black and decolonial
theologies adjacent to feminist convictions, confrontations with
sexual violence, rest and rewilding, and a post-menopausal Mary.

The SCM Studyguide: Biblical Hermenuetics offers entry-level
undergraduates a framework for interpreting the Bible. The book
goes beyond offering guidance on how to do exegesis, and is
intended as a practical tool to help readers develop good
interpretative strategies for themselves. As such it features
pedagogical tools such as Try-it-Out boxes to assist students to
develop a tested and thought - through overall interpretative
strategy of their own. This fully updated 2nd edition takes into
account the changing church and world context, and the new
challenges this context brings as students seek to read the Bible
with attentiveness, integrity and faithfulness.
