Story
When we practise love in the face of fear or rage, it has the ability to transform an encounter, a relationship, a community, a culture, even a country. Love becomes revolutionary. Revolutionary love is the call of our time. A radical, joyful practice that extends in three directions: to others, to our opponents and to ourselves. It invites you to see no stranger but instead look at others and say: you are part of me I do not yet know.

Story
The great fourth-century church father Basil of Caesarea once observed that, in his time, most Christians believed that hell was not everlasting, and that all would eventually attain salvation. But today, this view is no longer prevalent within Christian communities. In this momentous book, David Bentley Hart makes the case that nearly two millennia of dogmatic tradition have misled readers on the crucial matter of universal salvation.

After Whiteness: An Education in Belonging
- Theological Education Between the Times

-
Overall
-
Performance
-
Story
After Whiteness is for anyone who has ever questioned why theological education still matters. It is a call for Christian intellectuals to exchange isolation for intimacy and embrace their place in the crowd - just like the crowd that followed Jesus and experienced his miracles. It is part memoir, part decolonial analysis, and part poetry - a multimodal discourse that deliberately transgresses boundaries, as Jennings hopes theological education will do, too.

Like millions of her millennial peers, Rachel Held Evans didn't want to go to church anymore.

And so she set out on a journey to understand the Church and to find her place in it.

Broken Signposts

Story
N. T. Wright argues that every world view must explain seven “signposts”, indicators inherent to humanity. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being "broken" and unattainable. Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world.

Brilliant, original and a great depth of analysis all round. I devoured it while on a long drive on Boxing Day.

Publisher's Summary
In this classic theological treatise, the acclaimed theologian and religious leader Howard Thurman (1900-1981) demonstrates how the gospel may be read as a manual of resistance for the poor and disenfranchised. Jesus is a partner in the pain of the oppressed and the example of his life offers a solution to ending the descent into moral nihilism. Hatred does not empower - it decays. Only through self-love and love of one another can God's justice prevail.

Relevant to today
I’m listening to the final chapter on Love the weekend following 1/6/21 - a harrowing day in American history, Howard Thurman’s words are as relevant today as they were the day they were written.
Of course Jesus is relevant always.

Must read for Afro Americans who know (of) Jesus
The language used in this book has ushered me into a greater understanding of myself and the divine appointments of my life. I am grateful to the author and to the PBS program that mentioned this jewel in a documentary focused on black history.

Relevant book for our times
This is the kind of book that one needs to own a physical copy for reference and for inquiry. A great book with abundant wisdom and insight on how to be free from the shackles of hatred, fear and hypocrasy. An important book for healing from our collective and personal wounds. I am ordering a physical copy today.

A Great Treatise!
The insights are so timely for the race problem in America - no matter your perspective. Great and telling insights! Thoughtful illustrations. Also, the narrators voice is a perfect tenor for such weighty issues. Barton makes it easy to listen to subject matter that can be very intense. I will listen to it many times as it is so rich with deep and insights.

Profound analysis of society at its evils
The writer shares at a very deep level the incongruity of the practice of segregation and common public professions of Christian faith. His analysis of the operation of fear, deception, hate and love needs wide circulation.
The writer’s focus on the acts and sayings of Jesus point to the universal panacea offered in Jesus whose life and teachings require examination by all.
It was not clear if the writer’s reference to other creeds was intended to say all creeds offer the same panacea. His own analysis points to Jesus and therefore to the negative of such an idea.
This book gives a good message for our time in particular.
I thank the producer and all involved for bringing this old book into the modern era.
