Synopsis

It’s getting harder and harder to get by. Inflation. Stagnant wages. Spiraling costs of living. Even in the world’s wealthiest nation, it is too hard to earn enough money to thrive without a tremendous amount of privilege or luck. When so many people are struggling, what can we do? ​The Wages of Peace offers aspiring economic peacemakers an empathetic, informed perspective on today’s economy and the difficulty of getting by. Reporting back from his work in community development, Brian Humphreys unpacks the core needs of low-income households and communities, starting with living-wage jobs. He then offers practical steps to address complex socioeconomic challenges and become equipped to talk about money, work, and well-being. This includes confronting where our theologies of wealth and work have come up short and naming that when we put profits over people, we pay the price in despair and violence. Jesus calls us to seek shalom in the marketplace and the neighborhood. It’s time to dismantle inequality and work for an equitable peace.

    This no-nonsense guide emboldens Christian men to lead biblically in every area of their lives as they integrate leadership of self, family, church, and workplace into a single battle plan. 
    This isn’t just another leadership book. It’s a call to fight back. A call to stand up against the world’s view and instead model what God says true leadership looks like. 
    Rooted in biblical truth, The Armory of Leadership includes five powerful chapters along with thought-provoking questions for group discussion or individual use. Vince Miller’s straightforward approach equips men to:Follow God’s blueprint—not cultural lies—to lead with truth at work and homeExperience the freedom that comes from fulfilling their God-given callingLet go of passivity and act with purposeCultivate discipline, integrity, and spiritual courageGrow in confidence that you have what it takes to lead 
    When you finish listening to this transformative book, you will not only think differently, you will live differently. Because leadership isn’t about titles or power. It’s about responding with faith to who God calls us to be.

    Christology can no longer be confined to the task of making philosophical sense of the figure of Jesus of Nazareth in terms of the formulation of the “two natures in one person” doctrine derived from the early Christian centuries. Christian theology is now required to interpret the impact and person of Jesus of Nazareth by responding to critical demands from many perspectives. 
    
     
    What Christ? Whose Christ? therefore explores the Christological challenge by paying attention to a number of different perspectives, each bringing their own specialist lens to bear. These include Jesus of History research, recognition of differing historical and cultural contexts from the classical period to the present day, feminist perspectives, post-colonial and race studies, and developments from the field of interfaith theology.
    
     
    Each of these specialisms represent substantial fields of study and each therefore approaches any relevance for Christology with searching questions and considerable intellectual force. Significant for the essays in this book is reliance on the full humanity of Jesus as a figure of history who is capable of being received in new ways according to the requirements of a range of disciplines and who in turn remains capable of mediating the presence of divine reality for our times.

    How should Christians faithfully engage with politics in an increasingly polarized and complex society?
    Faithful Politics by Miranda Zapor Cruz offers a thoughtful and balanced road map for navigating this challenging question. Rather than prescribing easy answers or simplistic checklists, this book invites readers into a reflective exploration of ten distinct approaches to Christian political engagement, providing meaningful tools for deeper understanding.
    In this book Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz also provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.
    In Faithful Politics, you'll find
    
    - Thorough Scholarship: Presents ten distinct approaches to politics, ranging from separatist to dominionist and more
    - A Balanced Presentation: Offers a nonpartisan perspective while addressing strengths and weaknesses
    - Scriptural and Theological Insights: Establishes guiding principles grounded in Scripture to help shape faithful political participation
    Cruz observes that in the United States Christians with shared faith convictions can often reach differing political conclusions. However, Scripture and theology provide guiding principles that shape our thinking and remind us that our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God. Faithful Politics invites readers to learn from Christians of the past as we discern how to be salt and light in our own time and place.
