  When handling the things of God, our method matters.  Everyone who thinks about God has a method for approaching the subject, whether they recognize it or not. A theological method addresses foundational questions such as: What is theology? How should we approach Scripture? What is the role of tradition, philosophy, and experience? How do we use theology in ministering to others? These questions are vital for anyone studying God and his Word—how one defines theology, sees its task, and uses its sources will shape one’s doctrine, for better or worse.  In The Method of Christian Theology, Rhyne Putman guides readers through the essential “first words” of systematic theology. Written for entry-level theology students, this book provides clear guidance for using theological sources, reasoning through difficult questions, and applying theological reflection in paper writing and preaching. By studying the foundations of theology, readers will be better equipped to serve God’s people in whatever ministry they are called to.

  Rumbles - A Curious History of...

  The fascinating—and often secret—history of the body's most fascinating system: the gut. 
   
   
   
  The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent, inconspicuous, and content. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental wellbeing, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self. 
   
   
   
  Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system. We'll meet a diverse cast of characters including Edwardian body builders, hunger-striking suffragettes, demons, medieval alchemists, and one poor teenage girl plagued by a remarkably vocal gut, all united by this singular organ. 
   
   
   
  Engaging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking, Rumbles leaves no stone unturned, scrutinizing religious tracts and etiquette guides, satirical cartoons and political pamphlets, in its quest to answer the millennia-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs?

  On Time - Causality and the...

  This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focusses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe. But upon turning to the "pure" unitary quantum physics explaining the nature of matter one is dealing with the strictly a-causal time expressed through the thermal quantum field theory machinery. When this a-causal microscopic and causal macroscopic world meet, one encounters the wavefunction collapse, that itself may be rooted in the quantum-gravity conflict. Modern ideas are discussed resting on eigenstate thermalization showing how this may lie eventually at the origin of irreversible thermodynamics. The case is anchored in the sophisticated modern mathematical machinery of both general relativity and quantum physics which is normally barely disseminated beyond the theoretical physics floors. 
   
   
   
  The book is unique in the regard that the consequences of this machinery are explained in an original, descriptive language conveying the conceptual consequences while avoiding mathematical technicalities.

  Ripple: An Intimate Exchange of Urgency and Hope Between An Ecologist and His Daughter is a narrative of letters written by an ecologist dad to his daughter upon her coming-of-age. Drawing upon his personal history, family anecdotes, and shared memories, Powers envisions a path for humanity's reintegration with nature, and a chance to save the life force that runs through all of us. A story of separation has long gripped the human race: that people are separate—with more advanced habitats, technologies, and values—from our natural surroundings and fellow creatures. We have been told this story for generations. But as Powers watches his daughter approach adulthood, with all of society's expectations, he knows that the story we pass down has to change. In Ripple, he tells a different tale, one of community and family, inner wisdom, and shared existence within a living planet.

  Your doctor said it's incurable. Now what? 
  When physicians told Dr. Aaron Hartman his adopted daughter would remain a vegetable, he faced every parent's nightmare. Born with devastating brain damage after prenatal drug exposure, Anna wasn't supposed to see, walk or speak. Her diagnosis of cerebral palsy was pronounced “uncurable.” The medical system offered only surgeries, feeding tubes and lowered expectations. 
  But his daughter Anna had other plans. 
  UnCURABLE: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All Odds reveals the hidden revolution in functional medicine that helped Anna beat impossible odds—and shows how you can access these same breakthroughs. Inside, you'll discover:Why 80% of chronic conditions have overlooked root causes (and how to find yours)The three pillars that account for 80% of healing, without expensive treatmentsHow to navigate medical gaslighting and become your own advocateThe “Triangle of Health” system used by elite athletes, now accessible to everyoneWhy medical error is the third leading cause of death (and how to protect yourself)How your diet can heal disease through targeted nutrition protocolsHolistic approaches to curing diseases that conventional medicine overlooks 
  From reversing autoimmune conditions to recovering from mystery illnesses, Dr. Hartman's patients prove daily that “uncurable” doesn't mean “untreatable.” Written by a traditionally trained medical doctor who might be expected to dismiss alternative medicine, UnCURABLE provides a firsthand, medically sound path for those seeking solutions when conventional medicine falls short. 
  This isn't another alternative medicine book. It's your blueprint for working with science—not against it—to unlock your body's remarkable capacity to heal.
