This introductory textbook establishes theatrical improvisation as
a model for Christian ethics, helping Christians embody their faith
in the practices of discipleship. Clearly, accessibly, and
creatively written, it has been well received as a text for courses
in Christian ethics. The repackaged edition has updated language
and recent relevant resources, and it includes a new afterword by
Wesley Vander Lugt and Benjamin D. Wayman that explores the
reception and ongoing significance of the text.
The Being With course is an introduction to Christianity with a
difference. Rather than being a Bible study or a series of
arguments to try to convince you that God exists, it starts with
the conviction that you already have a wealth of understanding of
truth, beauty and goodness that will help you, in the company of
others, to recognise God's presence in your life and your everyday
experiences. At its heart is the idea that God's greatest desire is
to be with us in Jesus. That's the reason the world was created;
that's why you were created. Over a period of ten weeks, you will
discover dimensions of this presence and what it means to live
abundantly with God, with one another and with creation.
Two contemporary theologians, Samuel Wells and Stanley Hauerwas,
add their voices to the ongoing conversation about Christian life
in the twenty-first century. This third book in the In Conversation
series dives deeply into the theological and personal ideas and
motivations for the work of two prominent Christian thinkers.
Readers will discover their thoughts on the Trinity, parish
ministry, and non-violence, along with anecdotes and intimate
notions on marriage, family, and even baseball. Followers of
Wells's and Hauerwas's theological and homiletical work will find
out what has influenced them most, and where they'd like to go from
here. A fascinating read for Episcopalians and Anglicans, and those
who enjoyed the first two In Conversation books.
Christmas and Easter, Advent and Lent, each focus on the central
beliefs of Christian faith – that in the Incarnation, God comes
among us, and that in the Resurrection, death is defeated and
creation is renewed. In this collection of seasonal reflections,
Samuel Wells unpacks the substance of these key Christian
doctrines, and explores their practical implications for living as
Christians in the world: - Laid in a Manger: Reflections on the
Nativity - The Word was Made Flesh: Reflections on Christmas - The
Image of the Invisible God: Reflections on the Incarnation - Early
on the First Day of the Week: Reflections on Easter Morning - I
have Seen the Lord: Reflections on the Risen Christ An ideal
resource for leading seasonal services or preaching at key
festivals, this collection will keep giving from Advent Sunday to
Easter Day.
The Being With course is an introduction to Christianity with a
difference. At its heart is the idea that God's greatest desire is
to be with us in Jesus. Grounded in the conviction that we already
have a wealth of understanding of truth, beauty and goodness that
signify God's presence in our lives and everyday experiences, it
aims to enable participants to discover dimensions of this presence
and to live abundantly with God, with one another and with
creation. This Leaders' Guide provides: * an introduction to the
theological perspective underpinning the course; * an explanation
of its structure and an overview of each session; * practical
guidelines for leading a group; * complete materials for hosting
its ten 90-minute sessions in person or online. The sessions focus
on the themes of Meaning; Essence; Jesus; Church; Bible; Mission;
Cross; Prayer; Suffering and Resurrection. Drawing on the practices
of Godly Play, the course uses storytelling, wondering and
reflection to encourage and welcome the insights that each person
brings. The Being With course was devised and created by Samuel
Wells and Sally Hitchiner. It is one of many initiatives of St
Martin-in-the-Fields, alongside HeartEdge, the Nazareth Community,
the classical music and arts programmes and work with those
experiencing homelessness. Located in London's Trafalgar Square, St
Martin's is a community of hope, transforming church and society
through commerce, culture, compassion and congregational life.
The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible advances the
assumption that the Nicene creedal tradition, in all its diversity,
provides the proper basis for the interpretation of the Bible as
Christian scripture. The series volumes, written by leading
theologians, encourage Christians to extend the vital roots of the
ancient Christian tradition to our day. In this addition to the
acclaimed series, two respected scholars offer a theological
exegesis of Esther and Daniel. As with other volumes in the series,
this book is ideal for those called to ministry, serving as a rich
resource for preachers, teachers, students, and study groups.

Much of eastern England is below sea level, resulting in wide
swathes of marshland that are easily flooded. In the seventeenth
century, the Bedford Level Corporation was set up by Francis
Russell, fourth earl of Bedford, in order to manage the drainage of
the Great Level of the Fens, which became known as the Bedford
Level and is the largest region of fenland in eastern England.
Between 1828 and 1830, Samuel Wells, the corporation's registrar,
published his well-documented history of the Bedford Level and the
attempts made at various points to clear it of water using a
variety of methods, from earthworks raised by the Romans to the
strategies of Sir Cornelius Vermuyden and the eventual introduction
of steam-powered technology. Volume 2, published in 1828, contains
the necessary documents and appendices for the proper understanding
of Volume 1, which appeared two years later.
