“Christians and other people of good will are longing for a response that can lead the way out of the divisiveness and vitriol of our times. I wrote this book to provide some assistance to readers to discern a way out of the toxicity in which we live, and to stimulate courage and hope, so that all people can see the age in which we live more clearly and respond with the grace necessary to follow more fully the call God has spoken—a missionary call to deepen Christ’s incarnational movement in our world.”

Social justice and mission are hot topics today: there's a wonderful resurgence of motivated Christians passionate about spreading the gospel and caring for the needs of others. But in our zeal to get sharing and serving, many are unclear on gospel and mission. Yes, we are called to spend ourselves for the sake of others, but what is the church's unique priority as it engages the world? DeYoung and Gilbert write to help Christians "articulate and live out their views on the mission of the church in ways that are theologically faithful, exegetically careful, and personally sustainable." Looking at the Bible's teaching on evangelism, social justice, and shalom, they explore the what, why, and how of the church's mission. From defining "mission", to examining key passages on social justice and their application, to setting our efforts in the context of God's rule, DeYoung and Gilbert bring a wise, studied perspective to the missional conversation. Readers in all spheres of ministry will grow in their understanding of the mission of the church and gain a renewed sense of urgency for Jesus' call to preach the Word and make disciples.

What is the primary mission of the church? In this book author William Powell Tuck argues for the significance of the church's mission to proclaim the good news of God's reconciliation with the world through Jesus Christ. To place this mission in historical and theological context, the author explores various biblical stories that highlight the importance of carrying out the church's missional calling. He argues that the church must reclaim its calling to share the good news, especially in a world that has largely lost the true message and meaning for which the Church was founded. He insights into understanding biblical characters, the sweep of Christ's love, and the role of reconciliation in the context of God's eternal plan of redemption. Tuck also discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on churches and congregations and provides suggestions for how the church can re-engage in its mission effectively in a post-pandemic world. The message of this book is presented with biblical depth, pastoral compassion, and the potential to inspire and challenge readers to embrace the church's mission of sharing the good news. It's broad view of biblical history makes it helpful for understanding the broad sweep of the Bible's message. It's practical presentation makes it useful for any church leader, and in fact for any Christian who wants to embrace Christ's call to reach the world.

The author answers a crying need for a fresh view of missiology -- a cogent, scholarly, pointed analysis of the stance of the Church today in relation to the execution of the Great Commission. Here is a piercing look at the varied and often conflicting missiological philosophies of the North Atlantic nations. Here is a balanced evaluation of the efforts of evangelicals and ecumenists to find a workable relationship to each other and to the non-Christian world. Here also is a warm Bible-based challenge to the whole Body of Christ and some practical suggestions for the future of world mission.

It is no secret: the body of Christ in the United States is broken. While universality—and unity amid diversity—is a fundamental characteristic of Roman Catholicism, all-too-familiar issues related to gender, sexuality, race, and authority have rent the church. Healthy debates, characteristic of a living tradition, suffer instead from an absence of genuine engagement and dialogue. But there is still much that binds American Catholics. In naming the wounds and exploring their social and religious underpinnings, Polarization in the US Catholic Church underscores how shared beliefs and aspirations can heal deep fissures and the hurts they have caused. Cutting across disciplinary and political lines, this volume brings essential commentary in the direction of reclaimed universality among American Catholics.

Myself As Another uniquely approaches the reality of the human person offering an exploration of the writings of politicians, psychiatrists, and philosophers on the subject of personal identity and the ‘other.’ McNerney’s treatment of these questions is made not on intellectual stilts, but rather with a focus on the heart of contemporary human experience in the light of God’s self-revelation. Drawing deeply on the insights of Jewish, Protestant, and Catholic thinkers McNerney shows how a spirituality of unity can nourish us on “a journey to the heart of who we are.”
