The Christian Future: Or the Modern Mind Outrun
by Eugen Rosenstock-HuessyThe starting point of this attempt to "recast the Christian truth" is the experience of the two world wars and of the veritable end of the "old world" with all its implications for the "new world." The old order has destroyed itself and, therefore, none of the pre-war institutions, neither State nor Church, can rebuild the Western world. Christianity is bankrupt but it is not refuted, and the task is to reinterpret its central dogmas of death and life, of cross and resurrection in terms intelligible to the modern mind.
The Christian Life: Cross or Glory? (Study Guide)
by Steven A HeinThe objective of this study guide is to move readers within a study group, or an individual in private study, to assess (with Bibles open) the truth value and application of cross theology as the biblical model of a healthy Christian life. To this end, it is divided into eleven sessions corresponding to each of the chapters in the book. For each study session, readers are encouraged to reflect on and discuss major points of the chapter through a series of quoted sections and questions designed to stimulate discussion and critical reflection.
The Christian Philosophy of History
by Shirley Jackson CaseThe classic exposition of the Christian philosophy of History.“TODAY many persons are sobered by the threat of disaster to our civilization. How to avert impending calamity is a question of serious moment. The situation is especially disturbing for the religious man. His customary trust in God and his confidence in the ultimate triumph of goodness are hard to maintain in the face of adverse circumstances. For the moment evils prevail and righteousness is forced off the highway of life. It is difficult to preserve that imperturbable demeanor which Robert Louis Stevenson ascribes to quiet minds going on “in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.” In days when the thunderclouds of war darken all skies and stretch from pole to pole, quietude of mind is a luxury that few people who take life seriously are able to enjoy.There is one source of knowledge upon which we might draw to help us steady our perspective and define our task in times of perplexity. In the excitement of the moment we may forget the heritage of wisdom and experience bequeathed to us by the past. If we turn to history, it may brace our minds and strengthen our determination to maintain a bold front against threatening evils.”
The Christian System, In Reference to the Union of Christians
by Alexander CampbellThe Christian System, In Reference to the Union of Christians by Alexander Campbell is a foundational work in the history of the Restoration Movement, offering a bold vision for Christian unity through a return to New Testament principles. First published in the 19th century, Campbell’s work advocates for a rejection of denominational creeds and traditions in favor of a unified Christian faith based solely on the teachings of the Bible. His ideas profoundly influenced the development of the Churches of Christ, the Disciples of Christ, and other Restorationist groups.In this work, Campbell presents a systematic theology focused on restoring the simplicity and purity of early Christianity. He outlines his views on key doctrinal topics such as faith, baptism, repentance, and the Lord’s Supper, urging Christians to abandon divisive human-made doctrines and embrace the Scriptures as the sole authority for faith and practice. His writing reflects a deep commitment to rational inquiry, scriptural interpretation, and the practical application of biblical teachings in everyday life.At the heart of The Christian System is Campbell’s plea for unity among all believers. He argues that the divisions within Christendom are obstacles to the fulfillment of Christ’s prayer for unity and that restoring the practices of the early church will bring harmony to the faith. Campbell also emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility, free will, and individual study of the Bible, encouraging Christians to seek truth with humility and sincerity.This book remains an influential text for those interested in Christian unity, Restoration theology, and the history of religious movements. Campbell’s message of returning to biblical essentials continues to resonate with readers seeking a faith free from denominational boundaries, built on the foundation of Scripture and shared commitment to Christ. The Christian System offers a timeless call for unity, inspiring Christians to seek common ground through faith, love, and adherence to God’s word.

The Chronicle of Ibn al-Athir for the Crusading Period from al-Kamil fi'l-Ta'rikh. Part 3: The Years 589–629/1193–1231: The Ayyubids after Saladin and the Mongol Menace (Crusade Texts in Translation)
by D. S. RichardsThe Chronicle of Ibn al-Athir (1160-1233AD), entitled "al-Kamil fi'l-Ta'rikh", is one of the outstanding sources for the history of the mediaeval world. It covers the whole sweep of Islamic history almost up to the death of its author and, with the sources available to him, he attempted to embrace the widest geographical spread; events in Iraq, Iran and further East run in counterpoint with those involving North Africa and Spain. From the time of the arrival of the Crusaders in the Levant, their activities and the Muslim response become the focus of the work. A significant portion of this third part deals with the internal rivalries of the Ayyubid successors of Saladin, their changing relations with the Crusader states and in particular the events of the Damietta Crusade. As always, these events are portrayed against the wider background, with considerable emphasis on events in the eastern Islamic world, the fortunes of the Khwarazm Shahs and the first incursions of the Mongols.
The Chronological Life of Christ
by Mark E. Moore"...not much has changed since Jesus gathered dust in the soles of his sandals on Palestinian soil. He is still the buzz at barber shops and corner cafes. He is still talked about and against. He pricks our curiosity, sparks our imagination, and even earns our ire. Who is he, really?" You know he's no politician, but he still transforms nations. He's no social activist, but he is the genesis of who knows how many hospitals, orphanages, and innumerable acts of kindness. A psychotherapist? Hardly. But how many of us 'Humpty Dumpties' has he put back together again?! This peasant carpenter has built himself a kingdom immeasurably greater than his earthly enemies could have imagined. What are we to make of him? Please accept my deepest apologies right up front, for this book will not help answer that question. However, it may help answer this one: What is this man to make of me?"

The Church As Learning Community: A Comprehensive Guide to Christian Education
by Norma Cook EveristNorma Cook Everist contends that it is meaningful to say that in ministries of administration, outreach, and pastoral care, the church is functioning as a learning community. Whenever and wherever Christians are being formed into the image of Jesus Christ through ministry, there Christian education is taking place. Christian education is the name we give to that process of formation. Building on this central insight, Everist has written a major new introduction to the tasks and practices of Christian education. Part 1 of the book focuses broadly on what it means to be the church in the world. Part 2 shows how being a learning community requires ongoing growth in faith throughout the span of life. Part 3 shifts focus to the church as it moves into the community and world.

The Church's Book: Theology of Scripture in Ecclesial Context
by Brad EastWhat role do varied understandings of the church play in the doctrine and interpretation of Scripture?In The Church&’s Book, Brad East explores recent accounts of the Bible and its exegesis in modern theology and traces the differences made by divergent, and sometimes opposed, theological accounts of the church. Surveying first the work of Karl Barth, then that of John Webster, Robert Jenson, and John Howard Yoder (following an excursus on interpreting Yoder&’s work in light of his abuse), East delineates the distinct understandings of Scripture embedded in the different traditions that these notable scholars represent. In doing so, he offers new insight into the current impasse between Christians in their understandings of Scripture—one determined far less by hermeneutical approaches than by ecclesiological disagreements. East&’s study is especially significant amid the current prominence of the theological interpretation of Scripture, which broadly assumes that the Bible ought to be read in a way that foregrounds confessional convictions and interests. As East discusses in the introduction to his book, that approach to Scripture cannot be separated from questions of ecclesiology—in other words, how we interpret the Bible theologically is dependent upon the context in which we interpret it.
The Church-Idea An Essay Towards Unity: An Essay Towards Unity (classic Reprint)
by William Reed HuntingtonWilliam Reed Huntington, a pioneer of the modern ecumenical movement, wrote this persuasive and impassioned plea for unity in 1879. It ultimately led to the Chicago Quadrilateral, the Episcopal Church's first statement about ecumenism.Now, as many Christians are considering how they might affiliate with those in other denominations, Huntington's book gains contemporary relevance. But ecumenical conversations about unity often get bogged down in resolving endless details. Huntington crystallized the discussion, proposing only four essential views for uniting all Christian churches: 1) Holy Scripture is the Word of God; 2) the Nicene and Apostle's Creeds are the rule of faith; 3) there are two sacraments (baptism and eucharist) ordained by Christ; and 4) the Episcopate is the keystone of governmental unity.In The Church-Idea, Huntington addresses the importance of uniting not only the Protestant churches with each other, but Protestant churches with the Roman Catholic Church as well. It is a plea that is historically significant, prophetic, and much needed today.-Print ed.

The Circle of Innovation: You Can't Shrink Your Way to Greatness
by Tom PetersTom Peters--brilliant, original, and perhaps the most inspiring and listened-to business thinker of our time--has a lot on his mind these days. And he wants to share it in The Circle of Innovation. The world of business is in a permanent state of flux, he argues, a state of chaos in which constant innovation is the only survival strategy--for the individual and for the organization. And he presents here a lifesaving handbook--both provocative and practical--designed to turn any organization into a perpetual innovation machine.In 400 seminars in 47 states and 22 countries in the last five years, Peters has reexamined, refined, and reinvented his views on innovation. Now he brings those seminars--and his passion--to the reader in a landmark book. It is meant, he writes, to both "terrify" and "enlighten." These are "times of matchless peril for those who fail to grasp the nettle...and times of matchless opportunity for those who do."To keep us alert, limber, and ready for action, he provokes and cajoles in chapter after chapter. Among his institutions and revelations:We Are All Michelangelos. He shows how to transform every "jobholder" into a full-fledged businessperson.All Value Comes from the Professional Services. How to convert sluggish staff units into Vital Centers of Intellectual Capital Accumulation.The System is the Solution. How to build great systems--which go far beyond nuts and bolts.Create Waves of Lust. Quality is not the automatic advantage it recently was. There is a pressing need to reverse the rising tide of product and service "commoditization."Tommy Hilfiger Knows. In a crowded marketplace, branding is far more important than ever before.It's a Woman's World. How to capitalize on the fact that women purchase/are purchasing agents for well over half of U.S. commercial and consumer goods.Little Things Are the Only Things. As the Blight of Sameness encroaches on market after market, design is often the best tool in services or manufacturing for sustainable differentiation.We're Here to Live Life Out Loud. Why transformational leaders of the future must have laser-like focus, tell the truth, and live on the lunatic fringe.The hallmarks of Tom Peters legend are an insatiable curiosity, an agile intellect, a pragmatic perspective, and an uncanny ability to gauge the global zeitgeist. These qualities are all brought to bear as Peters sets out to engage, enrage, and ultimately empower his readers, amid forces that are reshaping not only business but every aspect of human experience.

The Cities That Built the Bible
by Robert R. Cargill“An expert guide and teacher . . . delves into difficult topics with humor and ease. . . . Well worth reading.” —Biblical ArcheologyFor many, the names Bethlehem, Babylon, and Jerusalem are known as the setting for epic stories from the Bible. What often gets missed is that these cities are far more than just the setting for the Bible and its characters—they were instrumental to the creation of the Bible as we know it today.Robert Cargill, archeologist, Bible scholar, and host of the History Channel series Bible Secrets Revealed, blends archaeology, biblical history, and personal journey as he explores ancient cities and their role in the creation of the Bible. He reveals surprising facts such as what the Bible says about the birth of Jesus and how Mary’s Virgin Birth caused problems for the early church. We’ll also see how the God of the Old Testament was influenced by other deities, and how far more books were left out of the Bible than were let in during the canonization process.The Cities That Built the Bible is a magnificent tour through fourteen cities: the Phoenicia cities of Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos, Ugarit, Nineveh, Babylon, Megiddo, Athens, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Qumran, Bethlehem, Nazareth, and Rome. Along the way, Cargill includes photos of artifacts, dig sites, ruins, and relics in this fascinating exploration that sheds new light on the Bible.“A lively personal account that puts flesh and bones on the tale.” —Richard Elliott Friedman, Th.D. author of The Bible with Sources Revealed“Cargill transports readers to these ancient locales, illuminating the municipal dynamics that shaped the Bible.” —Booklist

The Citizen in Teaching and Education: Student Identity and Citizenship (Palgrave Studies in Global Citizenship Education and Democracy)
by Ralph Leighton Laila NielsenThis book examines the importance, and potential, of citizenship education, using extensive qualitative data from England and Sweden. The authors draw on the work of Nira Yuval-Davis and other prominent scholars in the field to frame citizenship as membership of numerous communities, for example disability, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and social class. This intersectional approach enables a rich understanding of the experiences and capabilities of young people, and bridges the gap between the formal meaning and real experiences of citizenship. The book presents case studies from England and Sweden, two contexts that have similar societies and school systems but very different approaches to citizenship education. Using this rich data, the authors illuminate the perspectives of young learners and their teachers to understand how learners can uphold their rights and responsibilities as citizens. This book will be of interest and value to scholars of social justice and citizenship education.
