The Gospel after ChristendomNew Voices, New Cultures, New Expressions

Ryan K. Bolger, editor

Emerging church movements are an increasingly global phenomenon; they exist as holistic communities that defy dualistic Western forms of church. Until now, many of the voices from these movements have gone unheard. This volume assembles some of the most innovative church leaders from around the world to share candid insider stories about how God is transforming their communities in an entirely new era for the church.

The Gospel after Christendom continues the themes that Ryan Bolger and Eddie Gibbs established formally in their critically acclaimed Emerging Churches and situates new church movements within this rubric. It explores what is happening today in innovative church movements in continental Europe, Asia, and Latin America and in African American hip-hop cultures. Featuring an international cast of contributors, the book explores the changes occurring both in emerging cultures and in emerging and missional churches across the globe. Professors and students in college and seminary courses covering church and mission, contemporary ecclesiology, congregational studies, emerging churches, and missional churches will value this work.

E x c e r p t

How might the church not only survive but thrive in the midst of environmental crises, hybrid cultures, pluralism, cultures of creativity and art, consumerism, and new spiritualities? How might the church situate its practices of worship, community formation, mission, and leadership within these cultures while challenging them at the same time? To get a better understanding of church engagements within post-Christendom, we will explore the phenomenon at multiple levels. We begin with Peoples, where our authors examine new expressions of faith within seven nations or regional groups of peoples. In Cultures, we look at six powerful cultural themes and their impact on church life today. In Practices, we explore four historic Christian practices as they interact with our cultural themes. In Experiments, we examine eight case studies of new Christian communities within a post-Christendom context. In Traditions, we read the stories of three different efforts, in different parts of the world, of transformation at the denominational level.

Practical Theology, Spirituality & FormationServing God GloballyFinding Your Place in International Development

Roland Hoksbergen

Dominating the daily news cycle today are the grim realities of grinding poverty, sex trafficking, gender discrimination, child soldiering, HIV/AIDS, failed states, corruption, and environmental breakdown. In the midst of such pain and brokenness, the followers of Christ cannot stand idly by, for God calls them into the mission of reconciling all things, first by easing suffering and then by building flourishing communities through the process of transformational human development.

Roland Hoksbergen has over twenty-five years of experience in the field of international development. In this practical handbook, he explains what development is, what development workers actually do, and how young people can prepare for mission careers in this field, both in North America and abroad. In addition to setting the big picture for how Christians approach the big questions of international development, the book draws on stories, advice, and wisdom culled from personal interviews with about fifty development professionals. Each chapter ends with action steps and reflection/discussion questions for group use. This unique vocational resource for students interested in mission and development work will serve as a text for global studies, development, intercultural studies, and missions programs.

Practical Theology, Spirituality & FormationMission in the Old TestamentIsrael as a Light to the Nations, 2nd ed.

Walter C. Kaiser Jr.

When discussing mission it is easy to rely on the New Testament and overlook the importance of the Old Testament. Walter Kaiser corrects this tendency by explaining the missionary message of the Old Testament. This edition adds two new chapters, freshens material throughout, expands the bibliography, and includes study questions.

P r a i s e f o r t h e F i r s t E d i t i o n

“Mission in the Old Testament challenges the axiom that the gospel mandate begins with the New Testament. Dr. Kaiser rightly begins with Genesis 1–11 as the opening drama of redemptive history that explains the subsequent developments in the story of salvation. The connecting point between the testaments is God’s promise to Abraham to include all the clans of the earth in his blessing. The book offers great insights for all concerned with the direction of the church.” —Willem A. VanGemeren, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

“Kaiser helps us regain the big picture of what God is doing in human history. . . . His challenge helps us put mission back into the center of our lives and ministries, . . . demonstrat[ing] clearly that God’s mission to the world is the central theme binding Old and New Testaments together.”—Paul G. Hiebert, author of Transforming Worldviews

“In the best tradition of Richard De Ridder, John Stott, Arthur Glasser, John Piper, and Roger Greenway, this book is a much-needed resource for all . . . who want to understand God’s missionary purpose for the church as found in the Old Testament.”—Charles Van Engen, School of Intercultural Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary

“A welcome contribution to the literature that hopefully will correct popular evangelicalism’s sole reliance upon the New Testament for its mission theology.”—David K. Strong, Missiology

Speaking of DyingRecovering the Church’s Voice in the Face of Death

Fred Craddock, Dale Goldsmith, and Joy V. Goldsmith

Foreword by Stanley Hauerwas

This book reminds the church of its considerable resources when it ministers to the terminally ill. Typically, a terminal diagnosis triggers denial of impending death and a full-scale resort to the techniques and resources of modern medicine. If a cure is not forthcoming, the patient and his or her loved ones experience a sense of failure and bitter disappointment.

Speaking of Dying shows what is lost when the church abdicates its own resources of faith in the face of dying. The authors, who all have personal and professional involvement in end-of-life issues, outline a practical theological response to terminal illness and the event of dying. They explain how the liturgy—particularly baptism—prepares Christians to die and how the Eucharist sustains us in our dying. They also discuss how to talk to a dying person and how to preach on death and dying. Thus this is not a book on grief or even on death so much as it is on the process of dying and how the church can more faithfully and effectively engage those facing death.

E x c e r p t

The Christian church has always been cognizant of the need to prepare believers to face dying in a manner befitting their essential nature as creatures of God. That commitment to provide for a good dying has taken different forms throughout history, and the appropriate “art of dying” has always been clearly articulated—until modern times. Today we find that Christians have ceded to others scenarios for dying; the church no longer has much to say or ways to say convincingly those things it wishes to say.

Words of Jesus, words of Scripture, and sacramental words—they all constituted the coping tradition for the church’s first millennium and were available through worship, sacramental rites, and popular piety. Early in the second millennium, with more individualism and the invention of the printing press, a new vehicle of communication found immense popularity: The Art of Dying (or ars moriendi) was the title of an immensely widespread collection of warnings, encouragements, prayers, and directions for a good dying that could be accessible to all even if the church was unavailable.

As we enter Christianity’s third millennium, we hope it is not too bold to hope that this volume continues the church’s commitment to be with and supportive of the dying—that it is a modern iteration of the Christian theology of dying in the ancient ars moriendi tradition.

The Baker Illustrated Bible Commentary

gary M. burge and andrew e. hill, editors

“Under the dynamic leadership of Gary Burge and Andrew Hill, a talented and diverse team of scholars has produced The Baker Illustrated Bible Commentary. Evangelical by conviction, this basic reference book gives ordinary Christians complete and reliable commentary on every passage in the Bible. By treating the Bible as the Word of God, by providing a distinctively Christ-centered reading of the Old Testament, and by counterbalancing critical interpretations of Scripture, this new commentary promises to build up the church and help Bible readers understand the gospel.”—Philip G.

Jesus and MoneyA Guide for Times of Financial Crisis

ben witherington iii

“This timely book blends Witherington’s exegetical skill and his pastoral concern to address a very relevant issue. His interpretations of various passages reveal the complexity of issues involved in interpreting and applying texts about money that many take for granted. While this work is a welcome retort to the Scripture-twisting of prosperity preachers, it will also challenge many who have been living large without sustained theological reflection on their lifestyle.”—Craig Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary

“A useful resource for thinking about money in a way that is informed by the biblical background, but applied to the circumstances of the present day.”—Alan Garrow, Journal for the Study of the New Testament

Preaching with a PlanSermon Strategies for Growing Mature Believers

scott M. gibson

foreword by warren w. wiersbe

“Scott Gibson argues that the Sunday morning sermon can be the most important event in the life of a church, and he describes in detail what it takes for us to make the most of it.”—Haddon Robinson, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

“With great wisdom Gibson observes that how and what pastors plan for sermons over the months and years of their ministry is a vital aspect of discipling their congregations. And with equal wisdom, he provides practical thought and pastoral advice for ‘discipleship-driven planning for preaching.’ This is a wonderful book to reinvigorate pastors who may be tired or discouraged from climbing the weekly mountain of sermon preparation.”—Bryan Chapell, Covenant Theological Seminary
