Binding: Paperback
Author: Sarah Cunningham

Dewey Decimal Number: 262
Publication Date: 2006-08-01
Reading Level: 224
 
Description: Dear Church is a series of letters from a former emergent church staffer to the global church she's not always sure she wants to be a part of. On a personal level, Sarah's story awakens the sometimes M.I.A. voice of the twenty-somethings who are distancing themselves from conventional expressions of religion. But, thanks to discussion questions that can be used for personal or group reflection, this book is much more than just one person's story. On a global level, Dear Church invites every person to engage their own disappointments and share in Sarah's story—the story of journeying through disillusionment and back again.

Binding: Paperback
Author: Kathryn Tanner
Publisher: Augsburg Fortress Publishers
Dewey Decimal Number: 261.01
Publication Date: 1997-10-01
Reading Level: 212
 
Description: Since the 1970s exciting new directions in the study of culture have erupted to critique and displace earlier, largely static notions. These more dynamic models stress the indeterminate, fragmented, even conflictual character of cultural processes and completely alter the framework for thinking theologically about them. In fact, Tanner argues, the new orientation in cultural theory and anthropology affords fresh opportunities for religious thought and opens new vistas for theology, especially on how Christians conceive of the theological task, theological diversity and inculturation, and even Christianity's own cultural identity.

Price: $24.00
Sale: $4.69
 
Manufacturer: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company

Binding: Hardcover
Author: Martin E. Marty
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
Dewey Decimal Number: 261.835874
Publication Date: 2007-04-15
Reading Level: 257
 
Description: Much of today's literature on children treats the child of any age as a problem or a set of problems to be solved, effectively reducing the child to a complex of biological and chemical factors, explainable in scientific terms, or to someone who is the object of control by adults. In contrast, Martin Marty here presents the child as a mystery who invokes wonder and elicits creative responses that affect the care provided him or her.

Drawing on literature as new as contemporary poetry and as old as the Bible, The Mystery of the Child encourages the thoughtful enjoyment of children instead of the imposition of adult will and control. Indeed, Marty treats the impulse to control as a problem and highlights qualities associated with children -- responsiveness, receptivity, openness to wonder -- that can become sources of renewal for adults.

The Mystery of the Child represents a new tack for Martin Marty -- universally respected as a historian, theologian, and interpreter of religion and culture -- but displays the same incisive, erudite quality marking the fifty-plus books and thousands of articles that Marty has previously written. His broad, thoughtful perspective will inspire readers to think afresh about what it means to be a child and what it means to be a caregiver.

This book is sure to claim a wide readership -- parents, grandparents, teachers, humanists, theologians, historians -- engaging anyone wanting to explore more fully the profound realm of the child.
