    • Top 10 United Methodist Beliefs

      $18.99

      There can be no doubt about what Jesus thought was “the main thing,” the Great Commandments to love God with our heart, soul, and mind and to love neighbor as yourself. What were the non-negotiables for the founder of the Methodist movement, John Wesley? Wesley’s first priority was to grow Christian disciples who loved God and neighbor with a holy love that keeps those Commandments. As United Methodists what is our primary purpose? Put simply, it is to follow Christ as redeemed persons who put those Commandments into daily practice. Using John Wesley as guide, this book will describe the ten most important United Methodist beliefs, so that we are equipped for every good work. This book will describe how a passionate Wesley can still inspire us to travel the road to perfection using these basic beliefs as signposts, not hitching posts, so that we can more fully follow Jesus. But discipleship can be arduous and God’s grace is not cheap. We must be prepared to walk and walk and not just talk. The Christian life is action packed with surprises at every turn. “Are you able?” as the old hymn asks. Yes, Lord, we are able through the power and love of God to be accountable to Jesus and each other. Each chapter includes study questions suitable for personal reflection and group conversation.

    • History Of The Amish 3rd Edition

      $14.99

      The Amish, one of America s most intriguingly private, unique, and often misunderstood religious communities, have survived for three hundred years! How has that happened?

      While much has been written on the Amish, little has been revealed about their history. This book brings together in one volume a thorough history of the Amish people. From their beginnings in Europe through their settlement in North America, the Amish have struggled to maintain their beliefs and traditions in often hostile settings.

      Now updated, the book gives an in-depth look at how the modern Amish church continues to grow and change. It covers recent developments in new Amish settlements, the community s conflict and negotiation with government, the Nickel Mines school shooting, and the media s constant fascination with this religious people, from reality TV shows to romance novels.

      Authoritative, thorough, and interestingly written, A History of the Amish presents the deep and rich heritage of the Amish people with dozens of illustrations and updated statistics.

    • Letters From Samaria

      $30.60

      Louie Crew Clay has been the leading voice in LGBTQ issues in the church over the past forty years; founder of Integrity;
      * Well-loved, well-known Episcopalian
      * Funny, sharp, sad, thoughtful, poignant, historic
      * Afterword by Bishop Mary Glasspool, Bishop Suffragan of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles

      Letters from Samaria gathers together much of Louie (Crew) Clay’s best and most influential prose and poetry, written from 1974 until the present day, including an essay composed especially for the volume. Much of the material has not appeared since its original publication in newsletters and other ephemeral sources. It is crisply written and often surprising for its bravery, matter-of-fact self-disclosure, insight, and love. Louie played a pivotal role in transforming The Episcopal Church – and, indeed, Christianity – over the past 40 years. This collection provides a window into Louie Clay’s unlikely and at times shocking ministry throughout the years as history was unfolding.

    • Renewing The World

      $26.65

      Barton Stone, Thomas Campbell, and Alexander Campbell organized a nineteenth-century Christian renewal movement that later coalesced into three distinct church bodies in the United States: Churches of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and Christian Churches and Churches of Christ.

      What is less known is that from these humble origins, the Stone-Campbell Movement has grown globally, now with churches in more than 199 countries. This book tells the story from the movement’s beginnings all the way to its international expansion into Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

      Complete with a study guide and personal reflection questions, this book is ideal for longtime members, new members, and those unfamiliar with the Stone-Campbell heritage.

    • Trinity In The Stone Campbell Movement

      $49.98

      An assessment of Trinitarian thought in the two-hundred-year-old Stone-Campbell Movement, including suggestions for ways in which the renewal of Trinitarian doctrine can revitalize the church’s life and mission.

      Throughout its history the Stone-Campbell Movement has noticeably neglected Trinitarian doctrine, prohibiting a biblical understanding of God as Trinity from significantly impacting the movement’s churches. This book attempts to rectify this weakness in three ways. First, a focus on the Trinitarian positions of Thomas Campbell, Alexander Campbell, and Barton W. Stone sheds new light on the early shapers of the movement.

      Second, the book lays out specific ways in which the movement would benefit by a biblically grounded Trinitarianism and the contributions of contemporary trinitarian theologians. And third, it presents a plan for the advancement of biblical Trinitarian doctrine among Stone-Campbell churches.

      Significant contributions of this study include the most thorough examination to date of Trinitarian doctrine in Stone-Campbell thought, an original presentation of the historical theology that stands behind the Trinitarian positions of Thomas Campbell, Alexander Campbell, and Barton W. Stone, and a fresh proposal regarding the roots of Barton Stone’s quasi-Arianism.

      Additional Info
      What does it mean to be Mennonite in the modern world? And what is the witness of a peace church that is always at risk of splintering? C. Henry Smith-son of an Amish family, erudite historian, urbane bank president, and pioneer of Mennonite scholarship-sought answers to these questions in the middle of the 20th century, and his answers reverberate through the church to this day.

      In this engaging narrative biography, historian Perry Bush chronicles Smith’s childhood in an Illinois farming community, his youthful turn toward intellectual inquiry, and his confidence that Anabaptist faith and life offer gifts to the wider world. By recounting the story of one of the foremost Mennonite intellectuals, Bush surveys the storied terrain of 20th-century Mennonite identity in its selective borrowing from wider culture and its tentative embrace of progressive reforms and higher education, and growing conviction that Anabaptism served as a taproot of Western civilization. Bush argues that Smith’s body of historical writing furnished a new generation of Mennonites with both an understanding of their shared past and the tools to navigate an ever-shifting present.

    • To The Praise Of His Glory

      $19.98

      Make no mistake about it. The church was no “Plan B” effort after the failure of the Law of Moses to save people from their sins. Before the foundations of the earth, God had an exact and detailed plan for His church. God’s plan was a mystery to the prophets and patriarchs, but clues and hints and shadows whispered that a better way was coming.

      With the establishment of the church on the day of Pentecost, the good news of God spread throughout the hollow efforts of the Jews and on to the pagan and corrupt lives of the Gentiles. Through His Son, Jesus, God created a unity and boldness among believing men and women that could draw meaning from the madness and spark sacrificial love in the self-centered.

      Paul’s letter to the Ephesian church tells us that when the church is living out its divine destiny, it is all “to the praise of His glory.”

    • Devoting Ourselves To The Prayers

      $24.99

      Dr. Stamm integrates the biblical, theological, and pastoral insight fitting of a liturgical scholar-pastor as he attempts to improve and deepen the church’s congregational practice of intercessory prayer. In Devoting Ourselves to the Prayers: A Baptismal Theology for the Church’s Intercessory Work, Dr. Stamm points to the strong biblical and historical connections between baptism and intercessory prayer, suggesting that intercessory prayer is a vocation-a calling-rooted in our common baptism. Imaginative, informative, and deeply committed to the idea that prayer is an essential practice of the church, this book not only addresses what has become the church’s neglect of intercessory prayer but the difference such praying makes.

    • In Search Of Promised Lands

      $54.99

      The wide-ranging story of Mennonite migration, theological diversity, and interaction with other Christian streams is distilled in this engaging volume, which tracks the history of Ontario Mennonites.

      Author Samuel J. Steiner writes that Ontario Mennonites and Amish are among the most diverse in the world-in their historical migrations and cultural roots, in their theological responses to the world around them, and in the various ways they have pursued their personal and communal salvation.

      In Search of Promised Lands describes the emergence and evolution of today’s thirty-plus streams of Ontarians who have identified themselves as Mennonite or Amish from their arrival in Canada to the last decade. In Search of Promised Lands also considers how various Mennonite groups have adapted to or resisted evangelical fundamentalism and mainline Protestantism, and it identifies the nineteenth- and twentieth-century shifts toward personal salvation and away from submission to the church community.

    • Reclaiming Pietism : Retrieving An Evangelical Tradition

      $24.99

      The historical movement known as Pietism emphasized the response of faith and inward transformation as crucial aspects of conversion to Christ. Unfortunately, Pietism today is often equated with a “holier-than-thou” spiritual attitude, religious legalism, or withdrawal from involvement in society.

      In this book Roger Olson and Christian Collins Winn argue that classical, historical Pietism is an influential stream in evangelical Christianity and that it must be recovered as a resource for evangelical renewal. They challenge misconceptions of Pietism by describing the origins, development, and main themes of the historical movement and the spiritual-theological ethos stemming from it. The book also explores Pietism’s influence on contemporary Christian theologians and spiritual leaders such as Richard Foster and Stanley Grenz.

    • Lutherans In America

      $100.00

      The story of Lutherans in America is one of mutual influence. From the first small groups of Lutherans to arrive in the colonies, to the large immigrations to the rich heartland of a growing nation, Lutherans have influenced, and been influenced by, America.

      In this lively and engaging new history, Granquist brings to light not only the varied and fascinating institutions that Lutherans founded and sustained but the people that lived within them. The result is a generous, human history that tells a complete story-not only about politics and policies but also the piety and the practical experiences of the Lutheran men and women who lived and worked in the American context.

      Bringing the story all the way to the present day and complemented with new charts, maps, images, and sidebars, Granquist ably covers the full range of Lutheran expressions, bringing order and clarity to a complex and vibrant tradition.

      The Episcopal Church has recognized that planting new churches is a high priority through the Mission Enterprise Zones initiative, which provides grant funding for new worshiping communities, in partnership with dioceses. While there is significant literature and training available for church planters in evangelical contexts, very little is available for planters in the Episcopal/mainline context. This book addresses how to rise up and train leaders for the difficult task of planting new churches in the twenty-first century. It answers the essential questions, such as why should we plant churches, what models of church planting are most successful, what kinds of leaders are necessary, and what problems can be expected. Through the author’s personal experience and interviews with diocesan experts and leaders in mainline denominations, it provides strategies, approaches, and problem-solving techniques.

      Bibliography
      Indexes

      Additional Info
      There has been a distinct tendency in modern scholarship to underestimate Luther’s teaching on love by overemphasizing his teaching on justification. Calling this tendency into question, this volume advances the thesis that Luther’s teaching on faith and love operates as the overriding thematic pair in the dynamics of Christ and the law-structurally and conceptually undergirding the 1535 Galatians commentary. The research situates itself in the landscape of Luther scholarship via a special attention to Finnish Luther scholars and scholarship.

      The project argues that in the discussion of proper righteousness and holiness, Luther’s redefined love emerges in harmony with faith. His views on Christian freedom, the Christ-given law of love, the twofold way of fulfilling the law, and his Christological premises demonstrate the logical rationale for reintroducing love. This love, designated as a fruit of faith, is incarnated in three major relations: love toward God, toward others, and toward self.

    • Westminster Systematics : Comments And Notes On The Westminster Confession

      $21.25

      God tells stories a particular way. You see a dragon, and look for St. George.
      You see tyranny, and look for…Calvinists.

      The Westminster Confession of Faith comes from the turbulent period of the English Civil Wars, and its architects lived through events that raised armies, overturned governments, and beheaded a king. In this introduction to systematic theology, Douglas Wilson takes the theologically interested layman through the Confession itself, reading the entire text and succinctly and clearly analyzing topics including the Trinity, the Fall, God’s covenant with man, the sacraments, free will, justification, the civil magistrate, and more.

      For those who want to dig deeper, Wilson has assigned extra readings and comprehension questions from three different authors (A.A. Hodge, Thomas Vincent, and Francis Turretin). The perfect medicine for a culture obsessed with word-bending and qualification, Westminster Systematics offers an unapologetic and systematic distillation of the word of God.

    • Episcopal Way

      $16.95

      Updated content and approach, compared to earlier New Church’s Teachings
      series, with emphasis on mission and applicability

      * Interactivity is emphasized throughout with robust study guides, links to a host of
      web and video resources, and jargon-free language

      The New Church’s Teachings was one of the most recognizable and useful book
      series in the Episcopal Church. The books were a mainstay on seminarian and clergy
      bookshelves. With this launch of the Church’s Teachings for a Changing World series,
      two visionary Episcopal thinkers and church leaders team up to revitalize the currency,
      integrity, and scholarship of the original series with fresh new voices and style; concise
      and clear enough for newcomers, yet grounded and thoughtful enough for seminarians
      and leaders.

      In this foundational text for the Church’s Teachings for a Changing World, Law and
      Spellers explore seismic shifts in American life and the opportunities and challenges
      each presents to the church today. With a winning combination of passion, creativity,
      and wisdom, the authors call for a return to Episcopal basics and insist that faithfully
      engaging a changing world might be the most truly Anglican practice of all.

      For Episcopal newcomers, members, church leaders, clergy, and seminarians.

    • Signed Sealed Delivered

      $26.95

      An all-in-one volume sharing the history, practice, and viewpoints of Confirmation in
      the Episcopal Church and the first book on the subject for at least 15 years

      * Resolutions regarding Confirmation are coming to the 2015 General Convention

      * Includes questions for reflection and study by individuals and groups

      Many clergy and educators would say that the rite of Confirmation in the Episcopal
      Church today is a sacrament in search of a meaning. Some believe Confirmation is an
      essential rite of passage for adult leadership in the governance of the church. Some
      believe it is a rite that no longer has a place in the life of the church, understanding the
      importance that Baptism now holds in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer’s ecclesiology.
      Following a history of how the rite of Confirmation came about and its implications for
      youth and adults in the church today, voices in the Episcopal Church (bishops, liturgical
      scholars, confirmation leaders, and youth themselves) offer fresh viewpoints here in a
      conversational format to engage the reader.

      AUDIENCE: For bishops, priests, deacons, seminarians, youth leaders, Christian
      educators, parents.

      To release in anticipation of the 40th anniversary of the ordinations

      * Gathers the bulk of Sue Hiatt’s writings, never before published

      * Reflections from Sue’s peers and colleagues

      As we approach the 40th anniversary of the irregular ordination of the group of women
      who became known as the “Philadelphia Eleven,” Carter Heyward and Janine LeHane
      gather the writings of Sue Hiatt, considered “bishop to the women” and leader of the
      movement that led to that momentous occasion.
      Quiet, introspective, passionate, strong-minded, Sue Hiatt’s road to Christian feminism
      began as a teenager. These writings, alongside material by Carter Heyward and others
      critical to the movement, are a vital source of study, reflection, and inspiration.

      AUDIENCE: For ordained women (and those who wish to be) across denominations,
      church historians, and seminarians.

    • Case For Character

      $53.33

      Contents:
      Introduction
      1. Virtue Ethics And The Challenge Of Hauerwas
      2. Contemporary Lutheran Voices
      3. The Lutheran Confessions
      4. The Search For A Paradigm-Some Lutheran Efforts
      5. A Creedal Framework-A Proposal For The Reclamation Of Ethics Within Lutheranism
      6. An Ethic For The Church-The Place Of Character Formation

      Additional Info
      Over the last several decades, perceptive observers of Western civilization have documented what virtually everyone has perceived: as the old foundations of society have toppled, morality and personal character have been set adrift and often vanished altogether. How can character be cultivated when it seems no one is willing or able to provide a definitive description of character to which humans should aspire?

      While the reasons for this are many and complicated, one of the more potent singular factors is actually theological, says Biermann. Contemporary Lutheranism, in particular, has struggled with the appropriate place of morality and character formation, as these pursuits often have been perceived as being at odds with the central Christian doctrine of justification.

      A Case for Character explores this problem and argues that Christian doctrine, specifically as articulated within a Lutheran framework, is altogether capable of encouraging a robust pursuit of character formation while maintaining a faithful expression of justification by grace alone through faith alone.

    • Shepherds Of The Empire

      $81.66

      The late nineteenth century was a time of rapid industrialization, mass politicization, and modern philosophy. The resulting political and cultural upheaval confronted the German Protestant church with deep questions of identity.

      On the one side sat an educated academic guild whose explorations of history, philology, and emerging social scientific disciplines gave rise to serious questions about the Christian faith and its meaning for today.

      On the other sat parish clergy faced with the complexities of daily life and leadership in common communities. For these parish clergy the pressure was great to support and bolster people not only in their life as Christians, but in their life as Germans.

      Shepherds of the Empire engages timeless questions of identity and faith through the time-bound work of four key thinkers who attempted, and ultimately failed, to carve a middle way for the German parish clergy in that environment.

      The volume focuses on the life and work of Adolf Stoecker (1835-1909), Martin Kahler (1835-1912), Adolf Schlatter (1852-1938), and Christoph Blumhardt (1842-1919).

    • Sovereign Choice : How The Cross Restored Mans Free Will

      $19.98

      For centuries Calvinism has divided the Christian community. Sovereign Choice seriously challenges the tenets of Calvinism and presents a whole new approach to viewing God, this fallen world and how we ourselves choose our eternal destiny. Calvinism defines sovereignty as God being in complete and absolute control of all things making true free will impossible. Sovereign Choice sees sovereignty as God being the supreme power who chooses to grant free will to whomever He desires. Free will is a gift from God motivated by His love. The Bible clearly states that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Sovereign Choice encourages all Christians to end this senseless debate over a flawed philosophy and return to the simplicity of the Gospel message. Let us stop debating and start proclaiming “that whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!”

    • Against The Church

      $25.00

      Pastor Doug Wilson takes a hammer to some of our very favorite graven images, and (surprise, surprise) we’ve set up display cases for most of them in our churches: Liturgy, Tradition, Systematics, infant Baptism, and that crafty old Baal Doctrine.

      Alongside a critique of philosophical assumptions about human nature, dualism, and grace, Wilson stresses the unavoidable and absolute necessity of individual hearts being born again. He concludes by laying out the case for the church. This isn’t contradictory, though — the only way to be effectually for the church is to master the case against it. After all, God Himself is the ultimate iconoclast.

      2. Countermovement: 1965-1969
      3. Power, Politics, And The Purge: 1969-1974
      4. Genie On The Loose: 1974-1981

      Additional Info
      Power, Politics, and the Missouri Synod follows the rise of two Lutheran clergymen-Herman Otten and J. A. O. Preus-who led different wings of a conservative movement that seized control of a theologically conservative but socially and politically moderate church denomination and drove “moderates” from the church in the 1970s. The schism within what was then one of the largest Protestant denominations in the United States ultimately reshaped the landscape of American Lutheranism and fostered the polarization that characterizes today’s Lutheran churches.

      Burkee’s story, supported by personal interviews with key players and church archives sealed for over twenty years, is about more than Lutheranism. The remaking of this one Lutheran denomination reflects a broader movement toward theological and political conservatism in American churches-a movement that began in the 1970s and culminated in the formation of the “Religious Right.”

In addition, the weekly entries include questions for reflection and household prayers for morning and evening that are drawn from the lectionary, allowing churches to include them in their bulletin for parishioners to use throughout the week.

      During times of the year when two different tracks of Old Testament texts are offered by the RCL, this resource offers an entire set of materials for each track. A CD-ROM is also included with each volume that enables planners to easily cut and paste relevant readings, prayers, and questions into worship bulletins.

      Liturgy Writers include:

      Kimberly L. Clayton, Director of Contextual Education, Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia; Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
      David Gambrell, Associate for Worship in the Office of Theology and Worship, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Louisville, Kentucky; Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)

    • Living Tradition : Critical Recovery And Reconstruction Of Wesleyan Heritag

      $47.99

      What our Wesleyan legacy means for today’s living.This book engages in a critical recovery and reconstruction of the Wesleyan theological legacy in relation to current theological concepts and Christian practices with the intent to present opportunities for future directions. The contributors address urgent questions from the contexts in which people now live, particularly questions regarding social holiness and Christian practices. To that end, the authors focus on historical figures (John Wesley, Susanna Wesley, Harry Hoosier and Richard Allen); historical developments (such as the ways in which African Americans appropriated Methodism); and theological themes (such as holistic healing, work and vocation, and prophetic grace). The purpose is not to provide a comprehensive historical and theological coverage of the tradition, but to exemplify approaches to historical recovery and reconstruction that follow appropriately the mentorship of John Wesley and the living tradition that has emerged from his witness. Contributors: W. Stephen Gunter, Richard P. Heitzenrater, Diane Leclerc, William B. McClain, Randy L. Maddox, Rebekah L. Miles, Mary Elizabeth Mullino Moore, Amy G. Oden, and Elaine A. Robinson.

      For forty years on either side of the death of John Wesley in 1791, Thomas Coke was a key figure in the development of Methodism on both sides of the Atlantic. His surviving correspondence is the most personal evidence he has left us of a man who “wore his heart on his sleeve.” Coke’s letters also give us contemporary insight into some of the events which began the transformation of an evangelical movement into a worldwide communion of Churches.

    • Effective Practice Of Ministry

      $41.66

      Few people have made a larger contribution to the ongoing life and health of Churches of Christ around the world than Charles Siburt. During his twenty-four years at Abilene Christian University, Siburt oversaw some fifty DMin theses- a capstone experience designed to recount best practices in congregational life.

      Rooted in Dr. Siburt’s conviction that good theology makes a difference in the lives of people, The Effective Practice of Ministry is a collection of thirteen of those research projects, covering the most critical topics facing churches today: spiritual formation, leadership development, catechesis, preaching, and missional initiatives in the larger community.

      In honor of Dr. Siburt, this anthology is meant to inspire and encourage effective, embodied praxis in the ministry of the church.

    • Liturgical Sense : The Logic Of Rite

      $29.26

      * A premier Anglican liturgical theologian reviews the history of the liturgical movement
      in North America and anticipates next steps in liturgical “sensibility”

      Louis Weil looks back on his work shaping the liturgical life of the Episcopal Church
      through his involvement with the development of The 1979 Book of Common Prayer-
      and looks forward to the future of the church and its liturgical life. Through stories and
      first-person anecdotes, Weil does “narrative theology” as only he can.

      Although most points of reference are to the 1979 BCP, the book is aiming at a more
      fundamental level-not just Episcopal or even Anglican liturgy, but liturgical rites as
      such: how do they “do what they do”?-or NOT do when they are done badly! “Liturgical
      Sense” is two dimensional: both the “common sense” of liturgical rites and also their
      “aesthetic sense.”

      It is Dr. Weil’s contention that in American culture we have an inherent inability to “think
      symbolically.” Dr. Weil seeks to encourage a return to “liturgical sense” across the church.

    • Trust In God

      $42.00

      In this accessible book, David Johnson examines the Christian spiritual life using the Book of Confessions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) as a guide. He demonstrates how the Book of Confessions can help us understand what it means to be a Christian and how one goes about living a Christian life. Johnson uses the rubrics of faith, love, and hope to ground our understanding of spirituality and help us develop disciplines for our spiritual lives. These disciplines include listening and speaking, worship and Sabbath, giving and stewardship, patience and planning, and reconciling. Three appendices give concrete guidelines for engaging in Bible reading and prayer-the two central spiritual disciplines of the Reformed tradition. Johnson’s helpful book invites laity and clergy to participate in the blessings and joys of a Reformed vision of the spiritual life.

    • Go In Peace

      $19.95

      Helps develop the pastoral skills needed for hearing confessions

      Authors have extensive experience as spiritual directors, quiet day and retreat leaders, and Episcopal parish priests

      Although the sacramental Rite of Reconciliation is included in many Anglican prayer books, nothing has been written expressly for Anglicans since the 1980s that focuses on the pastoral skills required for this ministry. This book combines and passes on the teaching, coaching, skill development, and accumulated pastoral wisdom that has not been widely accessible or well integrated into clergy training.

      Realistic transcripts and “verbatims” of sample confessions and counseling sessions involving a wide range of people makes this a unique ministry resource for most seminaries and theological colleges, plus clergy in general – including Lutheran pastors who use the rite of “Individual Confession and Absolution” in the Lutheran Book of Worship.

    • Cultivating The Missional Church

      $26.60

      Written from a post-Christendom/emergent worldview, this book was born of a singular question asked in hundreds of ways: “What do we do to be faithful in this changed and changing reality?” Whether shaped by anxiety, a foretaste of coming changes, excitement, or energy at the prospects of witness and service the future holds, the question remains the same and the answers elusive.

      Part one addresses church functions under categories of governance, modeling, collaboration, champion, catalyst, mission, convenant, disciple, change and leadership. Part two offers further explication of the functions, including books recommended for in-depth study, application ideas, and further exploration of themes.

      Today Sunday morning worship competes with yout soccer, Starbucks, Facebook, and the allure of being “spiritual but not religious.” To share the gospel in a world like this, Christians need to reach beyond the boundaries of concrete and virtual communities to become evangelists. That takes faith. It also requires skill with public relations, social media, traditional print materials and other techniques to increase church visibility.

      The authors, both recognized experts and consultants, walk readers through the theology of church communications and introduce steps to help us deliver clutter-busting messages to reach our technologically sophisticated and faith-challenged world.

    • Works Of John Wesley 12

      $80.99

      The first of three theological volumes, this volume is devoted to four of John Wesley’s foundational treatises on soteriology.

      These treatises include, first, Wesley’s extract from the Homilies of the Church of England, which he published to convince his fellow Anglican clergy that the ‘evangelical’ emphasis on believers experiencing a conscious assurance of God’s pardoning love was consistent with this standard of Anglican doctrine. Next comes Wesley’s extract of Richard Baxter’s Aphorisms of Justification, aimed more at those who shared his evangelical emphasis, invoking this honored moderate Puritan to challenge antinomian conceptions of the doctrine of justification by faith. This is followed by Wesley’s abridgement of the Shorter Catechism issued by the Westminster Assembly in his Christian Library, where he affirms broad areas of agreement with this standard of Reformed doctrine-while quietly removing items with which he disagreed. The fourth item is Wesley’s extended response to the Dissenter John Taylor on the doctrine of original sin, which highlights differences within the broad ‘Arminian’ camp, with Wesley resisting a drift toward naively optimistic views of human nature that he discerned in Taylor.
