Description: In 1951, theologian H. Richard Niebuhr published Christ and Culture, a hugely influential book that set the agenda for the church and cultural engagement for the next several decades. But Niebuhr's model was devised in and for a predominantly Christian cultural setting. How do we best understand the church and its writers in a world that is less and less Christian? Craig Carter critiques Niebuhr's still pervasive models and proposes a typology better suited to mission after Christendom.

Author: Kathryn Tanner
Publisher: Augsburg Fortress Publishers
Dewey Decimal Number: 261.85
Publication Date: 2005-06-17
Reading Level: 176
 
Description: As international economic change accelerates and globalization becomes inevitable, Christians and others have questioned the equity and justice of the emerging global economy. Are there any fair and viable alternatives to global capitalism?

University of Chicago theologian Kathryn Tanner offers here a serious and creative proposal for evaluating economic theory and behavior. She finds in the Christian story a strong and unyielding concern with economic matters and specific principles of economics and economic justice that can be brought into conversation with global capitalism today. At the heart of that story is the reality of God's gift of grace, a noncompetitive relationship that models a very different type of economy. Further, Tanner discusses specific alternatives to the present economic system and principles that can apply across comparative economies. Finally, she offers concrete proposals for a theological economy and ways to make it work to modify and perhaps replace the present global capitalist configuration.

Few matters today are as pressing and consequential as the global economic direction, and Tanner's proposal offers a way for Christians to consider their role in crafting or reworking the myriad economic ways in which we all relate to each other.


 

  Solomon among the Postmoderns

 
Solomon among the Postmoderns under Ethics in The Books Store
Price: $19.99
Sale: $9.50
 
Manufacturer: Brazos Press

Binding: Paperback
Author: Peter J. Leithart
Publisher: Brazos Press
Dewey Decimal Number: 270.83
Publication Date: 2008-01-01
Reading Level: 176
 
Description: In Ecclesiastes, Solomon states that "all is vapor" and describes humans as trying to "shepherd the wind." In Solomon among the Postmoderns, author Peter J. Leithart uses these claims, as well as the entire book of Ecclesiastes, to show how Solomon resonated with postmodernism. Exploring the strengths and weaknesses of postmodernism, Leithart shows how the theory reflects an important biblical theme: the elusiveness and instability of the world. But he goes on to show that biblical faith takes us beyond cynicism and despair. Solomon among the Postmoderns will appeal to academics and laypeople alike seeking a biblical view of postmodernism.

Binding: Paperback
Author: J. I. Packer
Publisher: Crossway Books
Dewey Decimal Number: 241.52
Publication Date: 2008-01-31
Reading Level: 128
 
Description: J. I. Packer explodes common misconceptions about the Ten Commandments and gives readers God s blueprint for relational, spiritual, and societal well-being.

They are often mistakenly considered God s rules his outdated list of do s and don ts that add up to a guilt-ridden, legalistic way of life. But as beloved author and Bible scholar J. I. Packer probes the purpose and true meaning of the Ten Commandments, readers will gladly discover that these precepts can aptly be called God s design for the best life possible. They contain the wisdom and priorities anyone needs for relational, spiritual, and societal blessing and it s all coming from a loving heavenly Father who wants the best for his children.

Not only does Packer deliver these truths in brief, readable segments, but he includes discussion questions and ideas for further study at the end of each chapter. This book will challenge readers to view the commandments with new eyes and help them to understand--perhaps for the first time--the health, the hope, and the heritage we re offered there.

Binding: Paperback
Author: Bob Sorge
Publisher: Regal Books
Dewey Decimal Number: 241.4
Publication Date: 2003-02
Reading Level: 147
 
Description: Envy might well be termed the silent sin. Because while all of us envy others to some extent, few of us acknowledge our problem out loud, let alone try to overcome it and move forward. Bob Sorge draws upon his own pastoral experience-plus the admitted burden of his own envy-to show why and how it can adversely affect the ministry of a church and even prevent revival in people's lives. Sorge reveals why comparison of our ministry and spiritual gifts to that of our fellow believers is to be avoided at all costs so that we do not hamstring God's plan for our growth and the accomplishment of His purposes. This is a must-read for leaders of all churches, great and small-and anyone who wants the peace that comes with a life free of envy.

 

  The Power of Integrity: Building a Life Without Compromise

Binding: Paperback
Author: John MacArthur
Publisher: Crossway Books
Dewey Decimal Number: 241.4
Publication Date: 1997-04-30
Reading Level: 192
 
Description:

We live in a society that has largely abandoned moral standards and Christian principles. Unkept campaign promises, false advertising, exaggerated tax exemptions, employee theft--compromise has become a way of life. Such moral concession has even invaded the church. Faced with an opportunity to proclaim Christ to unbelievers, we feel intimidated and keep silent. Or we water down God's Word on ethical issues at work or in our community to avoid rejection. Too often we prefer hypocrisy to integrity.

But God longs for His people to be different--to maintain a commitment to His standards, no matter what the cost. Is consistent obedience to God--integrity--attainable in this world of sin and self? By the grace and power of God, yes!

One of the nation's most respected pastors points the way to persevering character in Christ. Drawing from scriptural examples of godly men who modeled integrity during severe testing, MacArthur makes a compelling case for the impact a man or woman of integrity can have in our world.

A helpful study guide for individuals or groups is included.
