  Reviving the Golden Rule - How...

  The biblical charges to "love your neighbor as yourself" and to "do to others as you would have them do to you" are at the heart of Abrahamic faith. DeCort argues that they are also at the heart of some of the most groundbreaking developments in human rights and the common good. Jesus taught neighbor-love and promised, "Do this and you will flourish." 
   
   
   
  But Christians today are at high risk of ignoring or overthrowing the most daring teaching of Jesus' movement. Having heard it repeatedly and having benefited immensely from its cultural effects, we have become dulled to neighbor-love's revolutionary power. In response, Reviving the Golden Rule explores the ethics of neighbor-love from the ancient world to modern times; examines how neighbor-love challenges the oppressive power of "othering" and expands human connection; highlights inspiring figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Mother Teresa, who practiced neighbor-love among marginalized communities; addresses instances where Christians have failed to uphold neighbor-love; and provides practical guidance on how to love and embrace "othered" neighbors today. 
   
   
   
  In one of the only historical and constructive works on the ethics of neighbor-love, DeCort invites us to reclaim this ancient movement. Learn to embody this revolutionary practice amidst crises for the healing of the world.

  We Misread the Bible When Women Are Left Out 
   
  Ignore them, marginalize them, or dismiss them as brief cameos―these have long been common approaches to Christian teaching on the women of the Bible. The result? We miss their significance in the biblical story and, in turn, misunderstand Scripture itself. Scholar Sandra Glahn challenges this pattern, calling listeners to recognize how biblical narrative actually works. When we do, we see that women are not incidental to the story but essential to it. 
   
  In A Woman's Place Is in the Story, Glahn models how we can better read stories in their literary context and understand why the original authors included what they did. She reexamines both well-known and neglected passages, such as Tamar and Judah, the Hebrew midwives, Abigail, and the Samaritan woman at the well. Even when they appear briefly, women in Scripture move the plot forward and reveal profound truths about who God is. 
   
  Women have always been part of the whole story of God. With A Woman's Place Is in the Story, discover how rightly seeing women in the biblical narrative leads to more faithful interpretation and application for the benefit of all God’s people.

  Tolkien's Faith - A Spiritual...

  Tolkien described The Lord of the Rings as “a fundamentally religious and Catholic work” and declared, “I am a Christian (which can be deduced from my stories).” Yet he insisted his writings were not allegories, and Middle-earth is loved by millions who do not share his religious beliefs. How were his faith and his fiction related? Holly Ordway answers that question biographically, focusing on Tolkien’s spiritual development, a dramatic story that previous accounts of his life have left largely unexplored. Here we find that Tolkien’s faith was hard won. His Anglican upbringing was overturned when his mother converted to Catholicism. Soon afterward, she died, leaving Tolkien under the guardianship of a Catholic priest, who forbade him to see his Protestant girlfriend, whom nonetheless he eventually married. The Great War, in which most of his close friends were killed, deepened Tolkien’s reliance on his faith, but then for a decade he “almost ceased to practise” his religion. Friendship with C.S. Lewis and success with The Hobbit were followed by another war and by turmoil in the Church that sternly tested Tolkien’s commitments. The challenges and triumphs in his religious life are reflected in his masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, that epic tale of endurance against the odds. As Ordway shows in her expertly researched and richly illustrated study, Tolkien’s faith and Tolkien’s fiction are intimately related, though in subtle and complex ways. This long-overdue spiritual biography gives new insight into his works by shedding fresh light on their author’s deepest-held convictions.
