Hear the prophet's lament as the necessary corrective for Christianity's future.

Terence E. Fretheim has long been a leading voice in Old Testament theology. In this volume, thirty of his classic studies have been gathered together for the first time under the rubrics “God and the World”, “God and Suffering”, “God, Wrath, and Divine Violence”, “God and the Pentateuch”, “God and the Prophets”, and “God and the Church’s Book”. Here readers can find a compelling answer to the question that has motivated Fretheim’s work for more than forty years—namely, what kind of God is the God of Scripture? The studies are introduced by a critical overview of Fretheim’s career and theology by the editors and a retrospective by Fretheim himself.

Pointing out striking correlations between the catastrophe of 9/11 and the destruction of ancient Jerusalem, Brueggemann shows how the prophetic biblical response to that crisis was truth-telling in the face of ideology, grief in the face of denial, and hope in the face of despair. He argues that the same prophetic responses are urgently required from us now if we are to escape the deathliness of denial and despair. --from publisher description.

In "Prophetic Justice: Exploring Divine Justice and Redemption," embark on a profound spiritual journey through the pages of Scripture, theology, and the human experience. This book delves deep into the heart of Christian faith, unveiling the transformative power of prophetic justice and its role in our world today. Drawing inspiration from the timeless wisdom of the Bible, we explore the biblical foundations of justice, compassion, and reconciliation. Through vivid narratives and fully quoted biblical scriptures, we discover how the prophets of old were more than mere messengers; they were champions of justice, advocates for the marginalized, and witnesses to God's enduring love for all. "Seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause." - Isaiah 1:17 (ESV) This exploration doesn't stop at ancient texts. We journey through the New Testament, where we encounter Jesus, the embodiment of justice and redemption. Through His teachings, parables, and transformative work on the cross, we witness the profound impact of God's justice and mercy in our lives. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." - Matthew 5:6 (ESV) But this book is not just about historical accounts; it's a call to action. We delve into contemporary applications of prophetic justice, examining modern-day issues through a prophetic lens. Through stories of individuals who have found justice and redemption, as well as case studies of communities experiencing reconciliation, we discover that the pursuit of justice is not a relic of the past; it's a living, breathing reality. "The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed." - Psalm 103:6 (ESV) "Prophetic Justice" doesn't shy away from the challenges and obstacles in the pursuit of justice. It addresses apathy, indifference, and the complexities of navigating theological and political divides. But it also offers hope-a hope rooted in the transformative power of redemption, reconciliation, and the shared vision of God's Kingdom. "Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause." - Isaiah 1:17 (ESV) Join us in this illuminating journey through the heart of Christian faith. "Prophetic Justice" is a call to embrace justice, mercy, and humility in your own life, to become an agent of positive change, and to discover the profound depth of God's love and justice in our world today. "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." - Amos 5:24 (ESV) Embark on this transformative exploration today, and let the prophetic call to justice resonate in your heart.

New York Times bestseller God's Politics struck a chord with Americans disenchanted with how the Right had co-opted all talk about integrating religious values into our politics, and with the Left, who were mute on the subject. Jim Wallis argues that America's separation of church and state does not require banishing moral and religious values from the public square. God's Politics offers a vision for how to convert spiritual values into real social change and has started a grassroots movement to hold our political leaders accountable by incorporating our deepest convictions about war, poverty, racism, abortion, capital punishment, and other moral issues into our nation's public life. Who can change the political wind? Only we can.

In this book, Chandralyn A. Brown combines the encouragement and creativity of poetry with the Holy-Spirit-filled discernment of End-Time Bible Prophecy. Bible Prophecy is unfolding right before our very eyes on the evening news. This book provides understanding, and makes the connection between the scriptures of the Holy Bible and the various events that are happening in the world today. Ever wonder, what fruit Adam and Eve ate that caused curses to enter the world? What was the origin of religion? Why has there been such an increase in the intensity and frequency of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters? Or why can’t Israel and the surrounding Muslim nations all just get along? Were the “gods” of Greek Mythology really real? Is Jesus really coming soon; and how can we really be sure? What is the meaning of 666? Prophetic Justice gives answers to all these questions and many more, and justly interprets the Holy Scriptures. The truth may hurt, but it is absolutely necessary to hear. The time we have left here on the Earth, as we know it, is very short. The prophecies and judgments of Jesus Christ, written in the Book of Revelation, are both Just and True. Only those who are found worshipping the Lord in Spirit and in Truth when Jesus returns will be counted worthy to escape.

A "powerful text" (Tavis Smiley) about how religion drove the fight for social justice in modern America American Prophets sheds critical new light on the lives and thought of seven major prophetic figures in twentieth-century America whose social activism was motivated by a deeply felt compassion for those suffering injustice. In this compelling and provocative book, acclaimed religious scholar Albert Raboteau tells the remarkable stories of Abraham Joshua Heschel, A. J. Muste, Dorothy Day, Howard Thurman, Thomas Merton, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Fannie Lou Hamer—inspired individuals who succeeded in conveying their vision to the broader public through writing, speaking, demonstrating, and organizing. Raboteau traces how their paths crossed and their lives intertwined, creating a network of committed activists who significantly changed the attitudes of several generations of Americans about contentious political issues such as war, racism, and poverty. Raboteau examines the influences that shaped their ideas and the surprising connections that linked them together. He discusses their theological and ethical positions, and describes the rhetorical and strategic methods these exemplars of modern prophecy used to persuade their fellow citizens to share their commitment to social change. A momentous scholarly achievement as well as a moving testimony to the human spirit, American Prophets represents a major contribution to the history of religion in American politics. This book is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about social justice, or who wants to know what prophetic thought and action can mean in today's world.
