Dear Friend,

Back in January, as Andy Le Peau was c ulling hi s files beore walki ng ou he door ino he new advenure o reiremen, he

came across a ounding documen or IVP Academic. I was a memo daed March 22, 1991, summarizing a meeing a wh ich

Andy, a couple ohers and I decided o ge serious abou publishi ng academ ic books. Our ourageously ambiious goa l was o

ramp up our annual oupu “rom 3 o abou 6” iles. I recall ha urning poin i no he ex ac scale o our a mbiions.

wenyfive years laer, i’s a differen day, and we a re publishing orysome academic iles per year. Li miing mysel

o commening on only “abou 6” in his Fall 2016 caalog seems arbirary, i no downrigh inv idious. Bu le’s ake some

samples o reflec on a quarer cenury o publishing.

wenyfive years ago he 29volume Ancien Chrisian Commenary was only a gleam in om Oden’s eye. Te ACCS wascompleed several years ago, and now we a re oureen volumes deep ino he Ancien Chrisian exs seriesranslaions o

ullon parisic commenaries on Scripure. Don’ miss he new AC volume, Jerome’s Commenaries on he welve Prophes ,

edied by Tomas P. Scheck.

wenyfive years ago we migh have wondered wheher anyone would be ineresed in a subsanial sudy o he Qur’an.

Wih Isl am in our daily news, Mark Rober Anderson’s Te Qur’an in Conex is remarkably imely and i mporan.

wenyfive years ago missiology was in quie a differen place, bu recenly i has been undergoing a sea change. Cach up

on developmens by reading he essays i n Te Sae o Missiology oday , edied by Charles E. Van Engen, and oas he fif ieh

anniversary o Ful ler Seminary’s School o Inerculural Sudies.

wenyfive years ago only a ew Chr isians in he Wes were hinki ng abou honor and shame and how hey relae o

crossculural mission. Bu oday here is a groundswell o ineres, and Jayson Georges and Mark D. Baker’s Miniser ing in

Honor-Shame Culures is eagerly anicipaed.

wenyfive years ago mos o us would have assumed Chri sian Zionism o be he exclusive provi nce o dispensaionalis

heology, bu oday somehing new is aoo. You can read abou i in Gerald R. McDermot’s Te New Chrisian Zionism .

wenyfive years ago heoriss such as Agamben, Žižek, M ignolo and Badiou and heir conribuion o heological

hink ing abou biopoliics and globalizaion heory was no on our minds, bu oday Carl A. Raschke ex plores his growingedge o hough in Criical Teology.

wenyfive years ago here were ar ewer evangelicals alki ng abou being a Chrisia n in he ar s, bu oday i’s a

burgeoni ng field, and Cameron J. A nderson explores ha voca ion in Te Faihul Aris .

Well, ha’s seven, a nd a biblical sy mbol o compleion. Bu speak ing o he ar s, we’l l add one more or eigh, in he hope

o he new creaion. wenyfive years ago we knew Shusaku Endo’s amous book Silence , bu we did no know we would have

Marin Scorsese’s movie in 2016. Nor did we know ha we would publish a Japanese American aris’s reflecions on Endo’s

work. Makoo Fujimura’s Silence and Beauy is no o be missed.

You’ll find hese iles and much more in his Fall I VP Academic caa log. Browse. Enjoy. And join us or he nex qua rer

cenury o publishing advenures.

Sincerely,

Daniel G. ReidEdiorial Direcor or IVP Academic

“Cam Anderson extends an intellectual welcome to readers who may

feel that modern and contemporary art are an exclusive party, a

private conversation for an artistic elite. . . . Anderson then clarifies

for Christians why art still matters in the midst of tensions between

traditional religious belief and modern aesthetic sensibility—issuing a

compelling call for artists to rediscover their accountability and calling

within the body of Christ, broken afresh for the life of the world.”

B R U C E H E R M A NLohlórien Disinguished Chair in Fine Ars, Gordon College

“This illuminating book allows the double foci on faith and art to

converge, introducing us to the worldview of the Ultimate Artist.”

My decision o pursue he visual ars made sense. Afer all, I had

“eyes o see,” considerable aciliy wih a variey o media and a erile

imaginaion. Bu offseting hese alens were serious misgivings

abou he legiimacy o ar as a vocaional endeavor. Te primary

source o his doub was he conservaive Proesan communiy o

which I belonged.

I remain graeul or his upbringing. Noneheless, in he course o my own ormaion a number o evangelical ati

udes and pracices have lef me uneasy, someimes even angry or ashamed. I noe my inimae and ongoing affilia

ion wih American evangelicalism o highligh his ac: he poswar evangelical subculure o which I belonged,

in combinaion wih he ar world ha I sough o ener, presened nearly insurmounable barriers o my vocaional

pursui o he visual ars.

I wrie ul ly persuaded ha ar, i n is mos exaled orm, can be used by God o ransorm women and men o

exend his common grace o he world and o lead he church o worship. I believe w ih equal convicion ha he

Properly conceived, a vision or he visual ars wherein serious ar and seriousaih are woven ino whole cloh is a glorious and conemporary possibiliy. Bu or his

“ A Little Book for New Scientists is certainly the most

concise and helpful book for young persons (and their parents)

on a science career that I have ever seen. I would hope that every

young person considering a career in the sciences will read

What do you tell students who show an interest inscience but worry that it conflicts with their faith?

We encourage more Chri sians o consider a scieni fic career

because heir presence in science is necessa ry or he c hurch’s

wines s in he world. Chri sians in every generaion have

engaged he bes o secular learning abou he world, sifing i

or wha is rue and valuable so ha i mig h be incorporaed ino

Chrisian hinking. In he case o science, however, his assess

men canno be done well by ousiders who lack he proper skills

and raining o evaluae scienific heories. I Chrisians are

going o have a beneficial dialogue wih sciencewhich will show nonChrisians he ongoing relevance and vialiy

o he Chrisian rad iioni will be guided by hose who undersand science rom he inside.

What do you hope readers take away from your book?

We wa n ou r readers o perceive ha God is bigger han a ny hu man ideas abou him, no mater heir source (i.e.,

Scripure or naure). Tis has he effec o helping o creae a sae space rom which o ask peneraing, poenially

disurbing quesions. From here one can move o he exciing possibiliy ha he scienis will be able o perceive

Zionism is kind of a hot-button issue. What drew youto this topic?

MCDERMOTT: Afer wenyour years and oureen

rips o Israel, and becoming riends wih boh Palesinians

and Jews in Israel, I was becoming increasingly disurbed byhe discordance beween wha I saw here and read in Scrip

ure on he one hand, a nd oday’s narraives abou Jesus and

modern Israel on he oher. I also became convinced ha

he bes way o approach his was academically, since many

o wha I consider o be alse narraives have sared in he

academic world.

How would you describe the current widely acceptednarrative regarding Christian Zionism?

MCDERMOTT: Chrisian Zionism is usually hough o

be a resul o bad exegesis and zany heolog y. While mos

scholars concede ha he Hebrew Bible is clearly Zionis (ha

is, ha is primary ocus is on a covenan wih a paricular

people and land, boh called Israel, and he land someimes

called Zion), hey ypically insis ha he New esamen

drops his ocus on a par icular land a nd people, and replacesi wih a universal vision or all peoples. Concern wih Jews

as Jews is hough o be absen rom he New esamen

excep o insis ha here is no longer any significan differ

ence beween Jew and Greek (Gal 3:28). Hence neiher he

people nor he land o Israel have any special significance a fer

he resurrecion o Jesus Chris.

According o his narraive, he only ones who have advo

caed or he idea ha he New esamen mainains concern

or he paricular land and people o Israel are oldsyle

premillennial dispensaionaliss. Teir heology pus Israel

and he church on wo differen racks, neiher o which runs

a he same ime, and hey ofen hold o elaborae and deailed

schedules o endime evens, including a rapure, hrough

which he rue church is proeced rom grea r ibulaions.

How does the new Christian Zionism embraced bythe contributors of this book differ from the prevailingnarrative?

MCDERMOTT: Firs, his new approach has nohing o

do wih dispensaionalism. Second, unlike some Zionisms,

we do no rea he Israel i governmen a s beyond criic ism.

Nor do we hink i is necessarily he las incarnaion o he

Jewish people and poliy beore he eschaon. Tird, we rejec

endimes speculaion and preer o be agnosic on wha will

happen when.

Maybe defining a few key terms used in the book wouldhelp. Could you tell us what you mean by Zionism,Christian Zionism and supersessionism?

MCDERMOTT: Zionism is he movemen ha suppors

he reurn o Jews o he la nd o Israel o esablish a homeland.Tere have been secular and religious Zionisms, and among

he later boh Chrisian and Jewish Zionisms. Chrisian

Zionism reers o one o several movemens o Chr isians who

believe ha he recen gaher ing o Jews in he l and o Israel,

and heir esablishmen o a poliy here, are ulfillmens o

biblical prophecy.

Supersessionism is he view ha he Chrisian church has

superseded Israel. According o his view, God revoked hiscovenan wih biblical Israel afer mos o Israel rejeced

Jesus’ claim o be he Messia h and ranserred he covenan o

hose who believed in Jesus. Te church hus beca me he new

Israel. Supersessionism is also c alled “replacemen heology.”

Te church replaced Israel as he apple o God’s eye.

“Georges and Baker have taken the seeds of previous work on

honor and shame in the environment of the biblical world and

in modern cultures and cultivated them into fruitful insights and

guidance in the areas of theology, crosscultural engagement and,

especially, missions. They provide a culturally sensitive readingof Scripture and of modern non-Western situations, significantly

advancing the question of how awareness of this dimension of

the texts and our global community can improve our interactions

with people living from a decidedly different axis of values and our

thinking about the contextualization of the gospel.”

IVP Academic edior David Congdon asks auhor Carl A. Raschke abou his new book, Criical Teology.

Many of our readers will be unfamiliar with theliterature and debates that you engage in this work,ranging from Bultmann and Horkheimer to Badiou andŽižek. Could you set the stage for this work? What arethe origins of what you call “critical theology”?

RASCHKE: Criical heology is in ma ny ways he ongoing

weny firscenury legacy o socalled pomo heology. Pos

modern heology, which sared off in he 1980s as an effor o

develop an immediae heological applicaion or he

remendously influen

ial philosophy (a he

ime) o Jacques Derrida,

gradually became an

exension o wha Hen

DeVries ermed in he

lae 1990s he “religious

urn” in coninenal

philosophy as a whole.

Righ afer he urn o

he millennium he more youhul cadres wihin evangelical

Chrisianiy became quie ineresed in hese philosophical

hinkers, and hey became a significan readership or no

only wo o my earlier books (Te Nex Reormaion , 2004,

and GloboChris , 2008) bu also or a var iey o oher works

by leading philosophical heolog ians, such as John D. Capuo

and James K. A. Smih. Figures like Alain Badiou and Slavoj

Žižek (he later especially) are leading sars in his galaxy

o conemporary philosophical figures who have drawn a

considerable ollowing and have become heir own household

names among academic religious hinkers.

So what changed after the turn of the millennium?

RASCHKE: I in he 1990s we experienced a “religious

urn” in posmodern philosophy, en years laer we winessed

wha mig h be called a “pol iical ur n.” Te poliic al acivism

o many young people during he 2008 elecion combined

wih he worldsha king global financial cris is o ha year

was a major acor in he emergence o his rend. Bu he

social conscience and heighened poliical sensibiliy o he

young mil lennia ls was also a decisive elemen. Te impor

ance o socalled poliical heology, a concep ha had gone

ino hibernaion afer is momen o glory in he lae 1960s

and early 1970s, was suddenly revived in he second hal o

he las decade and beca me an insan academic sensaion a

abou he same ime in boh America and Europe. Te wide

spread influence o he journal Poliical Teolog y , boh in is

prin and online version, or which I currenly serve on he

board o ediors , is one esimony o is imporance .

Wih he reviv al o

poliical heology, how

ever, has come a

proound new ineres in

socalled criical heory,

a erm once used exclu

sively or he work o he

wri ings o he Frank ur

School, which flourished

rom he lae 1920s unil

afer World War II, bu in

he las wo decades has come o be used or a wide variey

o conemporary heoriss who draw on he discourses and

explici sociopoliical criiques ound in coninenal philosophy (as well as psychoanalysis). Ta laes ieraion is ofen

known as he “new criical heory.” Te inerdisciplinary

ineres in criical heory is also expanding rapidly in he

presen college and universiy environmens. My own insiu

ion jus his pas year inauguraed such a cu rriculum because

o suden demand.

I asked myself, if the “political” turn in continental thought

has given us the new critical theory, should not the persis-

tence of the religious turn within the same constellation ofthinking yield something we call “critical theology”?

“As A Shared Mercy unfolds what Barth has to say, it also invites its

readers to reflect on the theology and practice of forgiveness. Barth

hoped that his writings would provoke further work on the doctrinal and

practical-theological work by which he was himself so deeply engaged.

Those seeking to consider the ecclesial work of forgiveness in relation

to the church’s troubled cultural locations will find much profit in what

follows. In short: this book is both a sure-footed and perceptive study

of a largely undiscovered element of Barth, and an astute and at times

moving essay in doctrinal, moral and pastoral theology.”

INTRODUCTORY

“ The Face of Forgiveness is a wise and winsome account

of a theme often neglected in pastoral care and theology. Jamiesoncontends that it is not simply sin and guilt that tears at human

hearts and minds. Shame is just as destructive, for it pierces who

we are. This book is theologically rich, pastorally insightful and

carefully written. At the heart of the book, scholars and pastors

will find a deep trinitarian account of how Christ’s incarnation,

crucifixion, resurrection and ascension heal human shame.

Jamieson’s profound and compelling work is pastoral

theology at its best, drawn from a deep well of scholarship

and wide-ranging pastoral practice.”E L M E R M . C O L Y E R

Universiy o Dubuque Teological Seminary

“In this fine little book, Jamieson offers a Christ-centered

reframing of forgiveness that shows how shame exceeds guilt as

humanity’s worst predicament before God and one another,

and how the face of Christ provides the best therapeutic

remedy. A good example of both pastoral theology and

Christian psychology. . . . Highly recommended.”

INTRODUCTORY

“Brian Gregg takes up the question of suffering with a full

realization that Scripture provides not one but numerous ways of

addressing this perennial issue. Examining each of these ways with

insight and sensitivity, this book does not attempt an abstract

philosophical answer to suffering but a way forward in its wake, a

way that is marked by both biblical faithfulness and pastoral

sensitivity. Such an approach will be appreciated by many.”
