  Matthew’s Gospel contains two discernible missionary mandates, where Christ sent His disciples to two different people groups with two evidently distinct messages. The command of Jesus to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19) is well known and oft repeated by Christians the world over. This missionary mandate has come to be commonly referred to as “the Great Commission.” However, there remains another commission with which the diligent reader of Scripture must come to terms.

  Eschatology - The End of Days...

  Eschatological beliefs—theories and narratives about the end of the world—have been central to ancient civilizations across the globe. These cultures developed rich mythologies and religious frameworks to explain how the world would end and what might follow. Although separated by geography and time, these civilizations shared common themes in their end-time beliefs, including moral judgment, cosmic cycles, and the balance between destruction and renewal. These narratives not only reflected their understanding of the cosmos but also served as cautionary tales and moral guidelines for their societies. 
  In Mesopotamian mythology, one of the earliest known civilizations, eschatological ideas were often tied to divine judgment. The Epic of Gilgamesh, while primarily a story of kingship and the search for immortality, touches on human limitations and the inevitability of death. The Mesopotamians believed that divine forces controlled the fate of humanity, and any deviation from divine order could result in catastrophic punishment. Similarly, the Sumerian Flood Story, which parallels the biblical account of Noah, illustrates how human corruption and disobedience lead to divine retribution through a great flood. The gods, dissatisfied with human noise and disorder, sought to cleanse the earth. This narrative underscores a central belief: the end comes when humanity disrupts cosmic harmony, and survival depends on obedience to divine law.

  In this, his premiere work, Cornel West challenges African Americans to consider the incorporation of Marxism into their theological perspectives, thereby adopting the mindset that it is class more so than race that renders one powerless in America. His work reflects political and cultural perspectives borne out of his own formative life experiences. Decades later, his arguments continue to capture the theological imagination of many and influence the critical engagement of generations of scholars. 
   
   
   
  In this fortieth anniversary edition, West invites six prominent scholars—whose respective work are grounded in various aspects of black political, cultural, and theological thought—into dialogue with this work, each writing one chapter plus a foreword by Jonathan Lee Walton. Continuing and expanding on the revolutionary discourses that West introduced in the first published work, each new essay provides nuanced lens for thinking about movements of liberation in today's African American communities.

  How Our Hunger Leads Us Closer to Jesus
  Many Christians—especially those who have grown up in the church—seem to be living "good" lives, free from extreme hardship and scandalous sin. Yet even this good life leaves them longing. Regardless of our backgrounds and circumstances, all of us have a deep hunger that only Jesus can satisfy.

Even the most hungry Christians will be encouraged that they "may be filled with all the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3:19).
