Shalom is the motif of God’s peace and well-being. Jesus is the embodiment of that. In this extraordinarily liberating book Andrew Francis explores seven different, once-marginalised movements in their search for shalom in the life, ministry and example of Jesus. What would it look like to create a manifesto for Jesus-shaped living? What does it mean to say that the Spirit of the Lord is forming shalom through his church?

The Big PictureBuilding Blocks Of A Christian World ViewBrian HarrisPB: 9781842278567 £9.99

This book is an accessible exploration of the big building blocks of the Christian faith, differentiating between the important contours of a Christian worldview and second-ary concerns imposed by culture and tradition.

When Faith Turns UglyUnderstanding Toxic Faith And How to Avoid itBrian HarrisPB: 9781842278574 £9.99

Brian Harris explores why the Christian faith sometimes wears two masks - usually life-serving and transforming, but occasionally escapist, illusionary and even poison-ous. What are the warning signs that faith is at risk of turning toxic? What do we mean by the conviction that the gospel liberates? Brian Harris’ take on what constitutes life-serving faith is refreshing and will be appreciated by all who would like to be sure that their obedience to Jesus Christ will help to build a world with a better name.

Spirit And LifeThe Practice Of Living By The SpiritRoland J. LowtherPB: 9781842278833 £14.99

The Apostle Paul challenged Christians to live by the Holy Spirit. But how is such a Spirit-orientated life to be envisaged? How might it be defined? The radical conclu-sion of the book is that the Spirit-influenced Christian; engaged in a Spirit-endowed Church; aware of a Spirit-ordered world; under the authoritative guidance of a Spir-it-inspired Word, lives a Spirit-coordinated life to the glory of God.

CDHP: Creation & New CreationUnderstanding God’s Creation ProjectSean M. McDonoughPB: 9781842278246 £19.99

The connection between creation and new creation has drawn renewed attention in recent decades; but the burden of Sean McDonough’s argument is that this emphasis on creation and new creation has been a feature of the doctrine since the beginning, whether in the eschatological reading of Genesis 1 that predominated at least until early modern times, or the intertwining of the narratives of creation and redemption in thinkers from Irenaeus to Barth. Whilst covering the traditional elements of the doc-trine, McDonough treats the important subject with special emphasis on how these unfold in the story of what Gunton has called God’s “creation project”.

The Good GodEnjoying Father, Son And SpiritMichael ReevesPB: 9781842277447 £9.99

In The Good God, Michael Reeves writes about growing in our enjoyment of God and seeing how God’s triune being makes all his ways beautiful. He sees it as a chance to taste and see that the Lord is good, to have our hearts won and ourselves refreshed. Reeves unpacks the concept of the theology of the Social Trinity in a deeply profound yet accessible way.

John Hick And The Universe Of FaithsA Critical Evaluation Of The Life And Thought Of John HickChris SinkinsonPB: 9781842279182 £14.99

Sinkinson charts the development of Hick’s thinking over his life and how this shaped his engagement with world religions. Attention is paid to Hick’s epistemology and how this was key in his interpretation of both his own religion and the phenomena of religious pluralism. It can be shown that the development of Hick’s thought is the legacy of the liberal theology of the Enlightenment. The project, begun by Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Schleiermacher, is shown to find clear expression in the developed theology of religions proposed by Hick.

Christ Our LifeMichael ReevesPB: 9781842277584 £9.99

This wonderful book looks at the person and work of Christ, from his pre-existence and eternal Sonship, through his incarnation, life, death, resurrection and ascension, to his return. It considers and applies the theological significance of all this, looking especially at how all our salvation is found in Christ. That is, it considers soteriology and the Christian life with and through the lens of Christology.

The Virgin Birth Of ChristThe Rich Meaning Of A Biblical TruthRichard A. ShenkPB: 9781842279083 £14.99

Too often the virgin birth of Christ serves merely as an evangelical shibboleth instead of a doctrine that affects our lives. The theological meaning of the virgin birth is rich in and of itself. The author argues that the doctrine has been too long ignored by the church. Collecting from disparate sources into one brief accessible volume, Richard Shenk encourages the church towards boldness, to understand the rich theological treasure that the virgin birth of Christ is for us, and to live out its significance in joy and practice.

The Fatherhood Of God In John Calvin’s ThoughtKarin Spiecker StetinaPB: 9781842279687 £14.99

Against the backdrop of feminist critique, Karin Spiecker Stetina gives us a thorough study of John Calvin’s ideas on the fatherhood of God. After looking briefly at Calvin’s own experience of fatherhood, the author looks in depth at his epistemology and then his imagery for God as Father against the background of the biblical and historical doctrine. This intriguing study allows us, through the lens of the reformer’s theology, to look again at what we mean by God as Father and believers as sons and daughters of the living God.

Biblical Studies

The New Evidence That Demands A VerdictJosh McdowellPB: 9781850785521 £12.99

The bestselling defence of the Christian faith which is essential for individual doubts and evangelism. Is the Bible historically reliable?Is there credible evidence of Christ’s claim to be God? Will Christianity stand up to twenty-first century critics? Christians today face growing challenges to show that their faith is both relevant and plausible and this book maintains the classic defence of the faith as well as answering new questions posed by today’s culture.

Shut Up And Show Me!A Bold Study Of JamesBruce AtkinsonPB: 9781842278239 £12.99

This study on the New Testament letter of James boldly deals with such topics as the character and life of the contemporary Christian, the misconception that Paul and James disagreed on the gospel, Christians overcoming trials by aggressive faith, the nature of tests and trials, justification by works and its relationship to justification by faith, and the power and misuse of the tongue. The book is provocative to holy living in Jesus Christ for today’s church.

The Importance Of Peter In Earliest ChristianityPaul W BarnettPB: 9781842279403 £14.99

This fascinating book traces Peter’s life chronologically from his beginnings in Beth-saida to his martyrdom in Rome c. 64. It demonstrates the importance of the apostle Peter to earliest Christianity and to our own day through the biblical narratives and his letters. The record of his leadership between the resurrection of Jesus and Pe-ter’s own death secured the vocation Jesus commissioned him to have as the ‘rock’. From failure to success, from denying Jesus to leading his Church in Jerusalem and beyond, Peter’s is a remarkable and inspiring narrative; his contribution to early Chris-tianity was unique and irreplaceable.

John wrote Revelation from his prison on Patmos to provide pastoral ministry to Chris-tians in the Asian churches at a time of impending persecution. Once we understand John’s symbols and his pastoral concerns his book proves to be a great message of hope as well as a timely warning not to be drawn into the worship of antichrist figures.

This book combines three Goldsworthy classics in one volume, providing an excel-lent model for understanding the Christian interpretation of Scripture, both Old and New Testaments. Gospel and Kingdom is concerned with finding the gospel principles inherent in the Pentateuch and historical books of the Old Testament; Gospel and Wisdom applies the same objective with regard to the Wisdom literature of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, and The Gospel in Revelation demystifies the notoriously diffi-cult Apocalypse by reference to the gospel theme uniting the startling visions.

It does this by outlining five interpretive keys that are crucial to our reading; then by identifying five key themes of Revelation. The author underlines the fact that Revela-tion is a Jesus book, and it is a book of hope.

Mission In Marginal PlacesThe PraxisPaul Cloke, Mike PearsPB: 9781842279106 £14.99

This book focuses on participation and practice, and discusses a range of ways in which Kingdom-centred mission can be embedded in the realms of activity and need in marginal places. The book explores five different realms of practice, each present-ing opportunities for innovative expressions of incarnational attentiveness to margin-alised communities and people. It seeks to inspire prayerful and discerning activity that tunes into what Jesus is doing in local places and challenges readers to take their faith-praxis beyond orthodox congregational settings and out into the everyday realms of life in marginal places.

Mission In Marginal PlacesThe TheoryPaul Cloke, Mike PearsPB: 9781842279090 £14.99

The first book in this new series presents a thought-provoking foundation for contem-porary mission. Drawing on key theological, missiological and social scientific ideas it discusses the fundamentals that provide a basis for place-dependent, reflexive praxis amongst people occupying social margins. This fascinating work re-energises debate around questions of why and how mission in marginal places should be planned and implemented.

Hospitality And Community After ChristendomAndrew FrancisPB: 9781842277478 £12.99

This book aims to show how nurturing hospitality in the “discipleship community” leads to growth. It seeks to re-examine the challenge, biblically and in radical Chris-tian movements, presented by the pre-Christendom church in its patterns of hospitali-ty and community to so ‘re-work’ these to be more effective in mission, personally and corporately, after Christendom.

The Tortoise Usually WinsBiblical Reflections On Quiet Leadership For Reluctant LeadersBrian HarrisPB: 9781842277874 £9.99

Written for reluctant leaders, this book interacts with three key biblical images of leadership - the leader as servant, shepherd and steward - and links them with some of the key virtues of quiet leadership - modesty, restraint, tenacity, interdependence and other-centeredness. The book strips leadership of some of its mystique, arguing that the bulk of leadership is about helping groups decide the right things to do and then getting on and doing them in an atmosphere that brings the best out of others. These insights are supplemented by interviews with significant quiet leaders from around the world, ensuring a rich feast for prospective and current reluctant leaders.

Relationships And Emotions After ChristendomPractical Help For Constructive RelationshipsJeremy ThomsonPB: 9781842278154 £14.99

This accessible and practical book is a mixture of selected theological and psycholog-ical insights into key human emotions and relationships. The aim is to help Christian people and churches to behave in relationships and handle emotions in constructive and liberating ways. It argues that, after Christendom, particular attention should be given to how Christians conduct day-to-day relationships, and that developing emo-tional literacy should be high on churches’ agendas or resources.

The Naked AnabaptistThe Bare Essentials Of A Radical FaithStuart MurrayPB: 9781842277256 £8.99

This is a straightforward introduction to Anabaptism. Written out of the British and Irish context, it explains why Christians here, and in other nations adjusting to the realities of post-Christendom, are turning to the Anabaptist tradition for resources.
