Some lay blame for poverty and need on oppression; others on laziness. Pastor Keller demonstrates that the biblical viewpoint is far more sophisticated than either extreme. He sets forth scriptural principles for mercy ministries, suggests practical steps to begin and persevere in active caring, and deals perceptively with thorny issues. Balanced and informative! Includes discussion questions.

"David Sanford teases out the Jesus stories to help us see who Jesus is... Every one of the short chapters are thought- and life-provoking." -Gerry Breshears, Ph.D., Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon -- "Wow! I absolutely love this book. It is fresh, poignant, alive. The writing style is free and unchecked-easy to read-the chapters have a rhythm, a pulse, a wonderful irreverence... His words have integrity and authenticity. It is fun. It seems to me to be a whole new style of writing about the Bible." -Bill Senyard, President of Gospel-App Ministries and Author of Take Heart: Conversations About Life, www.gospel-app.com -- "I've just finished Loving Your Neighbor and my jaw is still dropped. What is this-a liturgy? A devotional? A kick-in-the-pants? A heart-rending collection of change-your-life Scriptures and stories? All of this! And it does indeed surprise! Which is just what is needed for all of us who think we already know how to love our neighbor." -Leslie Leyland Fields, Speaker and Author of Crossing the Waters, Winner of Christianity Today's 2017 Book Award (Christian Living / Discipleship), www.leslieleylandfields.com -- "Terrific! David surprises, enlightens, incites. Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down. And once I read it, I couldn't forget it. Jesus will never look the same." -Dr. Steve Stephens, Portland Psychologist, Speaker, and Best-Selling Author, www.drstevestephens.com --

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” Have you ever wondered what these words might mean for you in your own life? Elise Chase has. Lying on a rickety canvas cot night after night while volunteering in a church-sponsored emergency shelter, she had a lot of time to ask herself questions about Jesus's challenging command and to reflect on how new relationships with homeless men and women were changing her from the inside out. Fresh from an unwanted divorce, Elise began to realize that increasing closeness with these new neighbors was helping her both to heal from pain and loneliness and to enter a deeper relationship with Jesus. My Neighbor, My Self invites readers not just into Elise's own story but also into the stories of many other people. It explores surprising ways that our attempts to live into the second great commandment can actually help us live more fully into the first as well—discovering, in the process, a more fulfilling relationship with the Lord.

»What Does Theology Do, Actually? Observing Theology and the Transcultural« is to be the first in a series of 5 books, each presented under the same question – »What Does Theology Do, Actually?«, with vols. 2–5 focusing on one of the theological subdisciplines. This first volume proceeds from the observation of a need for a highly inflected »trans-cultural«, and not simply »inter-cultural«, set of perspectives in theological work and training. The revolution brought about across the humanities disciplines through globalization and the recognition of »multiple modernities« has introduced a diversity of overlapping cultural content and multiple cultural and religious belongings not only into academic work in the humanities and social sciences, but into the Christian churches as well.

The classic collection of sixteen sermons preached and compiled by Dr. King As Dr. King prepared for the Birmingham campaign in early 1963, he drafted the final sermons for Strength to Love, a volume of his best-known homilies. King had begun working on the sermons during a fortnight in jail in July 1962. Having been arrested for holding a prayer vigil outside Albany City Hall, King and Ralph Abernathy shared a jail cell for fifteen days that was, according to King, ‘‘dirty, filthy, and ill-equipped’’ and “the worse I have ever seen.” While behind bars, he spent uninterrupted time preparing the drafts for classic sermons such as “Loving Your Enemies,” “Love in Action,” and “Shattered Dreams,” and continued to work on the volume after his release. A Gift of Love includes these classic sermons, along with two new preachings. Collectively they present King’s fusion of Christian teachings and social consciousness, and promote his prescient vision of love as a social and political force for change.

The triune God of justice has a mission in the world, which we are called to participate and partner in. The awesome nature of that mission and vision inspires and animates this volume, Now to God Who Is Able. An international array of Christian pastors, scholar activists, parachurch ministry leaders, and community organizers reflect critically on the theological, biblical, contextual, and practical dimensions of what it means to bear witness of the gospel orientated and anchored in God’s justice. Using a trinitarian framework within the prophetic call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, this book speaks to the modern challenges and opportunities of the pastoral vocation, ecclesiology, hermeneutics, homiletics, ecumenism, theological education, and missional theology. Each essay and this book honor the more than four decades of ministry of Mark Labberton, who retired as president of Fuller Theological Seminary in 2023.
