Celtic Christianity $13.65 This fascinating book introduces the mysterious and extraordinary world of Celtic Christianity. Timothy Joyce, a Benedictine monk of Irish descent, evokes the distinctive spirituality that drew on pre-Christian beliefs and culture. He shows how this style of Christianity changed, was subordinated, and gave way to the larger Roman church, and yet how elements endured. Finally, he explores what Celtic spirituality has to offer today to the church as well as spiritual seekers. Celtic spirituality is holistic — a joyful, mystically-inclined spirituality that affirms the goodness of creation, urges respect for women's gifts, and finds expression in poetry, myth, and song. Joyce recounts the heroic stories of such saints as Patrick, Bridget, Columcille, and Columba. But he goes beyond other treatments to explore how this tradition was gradually subsumed by a more rigid style of Irish Catholicism, and he reflects on the centuries of suffering that have left an indelible mark on the Irish consciousness and spirit. Yet ultimately Joyce shows how the recovery of this ancient tradition of Christianity might rejuvenate the church and contribute to spiritual renewal today. |

”A mighty fortress” far from Lake Wobegon: The music of Minnesota’s newest Lutherans. $49.99 While participation in religion is most often perceived to be a conscious choice made without direct connections to race or ethnicity on the part of an individual, it is also apparent that religion never functions outside of both its ethno-cultural context and its ethno-cultural history, and for a large proportion of Lutheran history, this context has been overwhelmingly European and European-American. However, Christianity has become increasingly global within the last century: Latin Americans, Africans, and Asians breathe new life into a once-European and North American theological tradition. Minnesota, considered the most significant hub of Lutheranism, has concurrently become more global. From 1990–2000, the number of foreign-born residents increased by 130 percent.1 Moreover, the way people migrate has changed considerably. While European immigration in the 1900s was long, hard, and permanent, advances in travel and communication technology have made migration a more fluid journey allowing for increased communication between old world(s) and new. This situation raises a number of questions regarding depictions of Minnesota as a haven for Scandinavian, homogeneous, and inflexible Lutherans.;Worship music presents a salient religious medium capable of enabling a vivid redefinition of Minnesotan Lutheranism. How do Cambodians, who have no musical ensemble that remotely resembles a choir in their homeland, create Lutheran worship music in the Twin Cities? Why have Sudanese Lutherans, whose main source of musical inspiration is the reception of songs in dreams, stopped receiving songs in their dreams upon their arrival in the US? As a church’s most audible display of faith and most contested realm of worship, the negotiations involved in the creation of Lutheran worship music illuminate the issues at the heart of the Lutheran church today.;1Bruce Katz, “Census 2000: Key Trends and Implications for Cities,” Brookings Institution, Center for Urban and Metropolitan |

Abiding Faith: Christianity Beyond Certainty, Anxiety, and Violence $42.49 Australian theologian Scott Cowdell explores how having faith has changed under the influence of modernity and post-modernity in the West. He returns faith from pious sentimentality and arid philosophy of religion to the realm of participating knowing, paradigmatic imagination, and personal transformation where it belongs as a form of life, shaped by encounter with Jesus Christ and worked out through the Eucharistic community. This is shown to have been the typical understanding of faith from Saint Paul to the Fathers to the medieval monastic theologians. Since the rise of nominalism, however, modern individuals reflecting a God newly remote from the world have struggled to maintain this participatory vision of faith as a formative habitat. Mysticism is as close as modernity got, while officially faith was annexed by modern Western culture, coming to share its anxious need for certainty and control-systemic, exclusive, and violent-tending. |

Animals And World Religions $35 Despite increasing public attention to animal suffering, little seems to have changed: Human beings continue to exploit billions of animals in factory farms, medical laboratories, and elsewhere. In this wide-ranging and perceptive study, Lisa Kemmerer shows how spiritual writings and teachings in seven major religious traditions can help people to consider their ethical obligations toward other creatures. Dr. Kemmerer examines the role of nonhuman animals in scripture and myth, in the lives of religious exemplars, and by drawing on foundational philosophical and moral teachings. She begins with a study of indigenous traditions around the world, then focuses on the religions of India (Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain) and China (Daoism and Confucianism), and finally, religions of the Middle East (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). At the end of each chapter, Kemmerer explores the inspiring lives and work of contemporary animal advocates who are motivated by a personal religious commitment. Animals and World Religions demonstrates that rethinking how we treat nonhuman animals is essential for anyone claiming one of the world”s great religions. |

Antisemitism and Modernity $180 The subject of anti-Semitism, not long ago thought to be a dead issue, has been revised due to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Maccoby traces the now topical discussion of the origins of Anti-Semitism, and especially its development in the modern world. The key questions that are addressed include:How is it that this medieval prejudice proved so lasting and potent?Are the roots of anti-Semitism religious? If so, how do these roots differ in Christianity and Islam?By what means did it bridge the gap between medievalism and Enlightenment? How was it that many of the most respected Enlightenment figures (such as Voltaire) dedicated as they were to tolerance and pluralism, retained a virulent anti-Semitism?These questions, and many more, are dealt with as Maccoby explores the roots of the anti-Semitism, tracing it from its origins, and shows how it has changed in accordance with the shifting ideas of the modern world but without changing in its essence.Antisemitism and Modernity is essential reading for those with interests in the development of anti-Semitism, its manifestation in the current world and its future. |

Are You Curious About Kurios? $12.13 Are you curious about Kurios? What is this question all about? If Christians could answer this question then we might be able to answer many of the other questions that plague modern Christianity, such as: Why is the Christian divorce rate just as high as divorce rates among the lost? Why is it that eighty percent of the churches in North America are in decline? How do we know that the Christianity we practice is exactly what God envisioned the church to be? These answers can only be found through the power of God’s word. God left the Bible as His living will and testament for mankind containing everything necessary for His people to follow in His perfect ways. The apostles took the message of the gospel and “turned world upside down” (Acts 17:6). The Reformers revived the power of the gospel, and Christianity and the world were forever changed. What could Christians do today if we reclaimed the power of God’s word? Read for the answers and emerge with the truth!Gilberto Gonzalez Jr. obtained his Masters of Divinity in Theology from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. He also received a bachelor’s degree in socio-cultural anthropology and a citation in world religions from University of Maryland, College Park. He planted a church with the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware and has been invited as a guest speaker for numerous churches. He has served in many functions including senior pastor, associate pastor, youth pastor, campus ministry, Christian education, military ministry, and racetrack chaplaincy. |

Billy: The Untold Story of a Young Billy Graham and the Test of Faith that Almost Changed Everything $0.99 The remarkable true story of a young Billy Graham and his best friend who walked away from the faith.We all know how the story ends but how did it begin? Before he became a household name, and America’s Pastor,he was simply known as Billy. When he wasn’t playing baseball, he was discovering his love for Christian ministry. His best friend, Charles Templeton, was already on track to be a highly successful evangelist and the two young men began strategizing on how to win the world for Christ. That plan takes a drastic turn, however, when Templeton deserts the faith and becomes an atheist. The impact of this decision on a young Billy Graham is immeasurable and agonizing. Charles would later become the great intellectual architect for agnosticism and atheism. Billy would become the single greatest messenger for the Christian Gospel. It is one of the great untold dramas between friends – Atheism vs Christianity, betrayal and hope. |

Christians and Pagans: The Conversion of Britain from Alban to Bede $50 Christians and Pagans offers a comprehensive and highly readable account of the coming of Christianity to Britain, its coexistence or conflict with paganism, and its impact on the lives of both indigenous islanders and invading Anglo-Saxons. The Christianity of Roman Britain, so often treated in isolation, is here deftly integrated with the history of the British churches of the Celtic world, and with the histories of Ireland, Iona, and Pictland. Combining chronicle and literary evidence with the fruits of the latest archaeological research, Malcolm Lambert illuminates how the conversion process changed the hearts and minds of early Britain. |

Excerpt: Greek Orthodox Christianity, Muslim about 500.000 in Black Sea region present day The Pontian Greeks (also called Pontic Greeks, Pontians or Greeks of Pontus; Greek: or , Turkish: ) are an ethnic group consisting of Greeks from the shores of the Black Sea and Pontus. They traditionally speak Pontic, a distinct form of the Greek language which, due to the remoteness of Pontus, has had a process of linguistic evolution different from that of the rest of the Greek world. Pontus region around Trebizond.The first intimations of Greek presence in the Black Sea area can be traced back to Greek mythology. It is the region where Jason and the Argonauts sailed to find the Golden Fleece. The myth was formally documented by Apollonius of Rhodes in his work, the Argonautica. Modern historians date the expedition of the Argo around 1200 BC, based on the description given by Apollonius. The first recorded Greek colony, established on the northern shores of ancient Anatolia, was Sinop, circa 800 BC. The settlers of Sinop were merchants from the Ionian Greek city state of Miletus. After the colonization of the shores of the Black Sea, known till then to the Greek world as Pontos Axeinos (Inhospitable Sea), the name changed to Pontos Euxeinos (Hospitable Sea). In time, as the numbers of Greeks settling in the region grew significantly, more colonies were established along the whole Black Sea coastline of what is now Turkey, Bulgaria, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, and Romania. Greek population in Anatolia and Asia Minor in blue color, 1911.The region of Trapezus, later called Trebizond, now Trabzon, was mentioned by Xenophon in his famous work Anabasis, describing how he and other 10,000 Greek mercenaries fought their way to the Euxine Sea after the failure of the… More: |

Journey of the Gospel: A study in the emergence of world Christianity and the shift of Christian historiography in the last half of the twentieth century. $49.99 This dissertation asks historiographical questions: What is today’s vantage point for historians who write the history of Christianity? What has been changed in the writing of Christian history during the last half century? What has brought such changes about? How do these changes precipitate a new historiography?;In seeking the answers, the landmark phenomena of current worldwide Christianity are surveyed. The end of the two world wars and the decline of Western colonialism mark the milestone events for a shift toward an era of world Christianity. The latter half of the twentieth century constitutes the formative period of shaping world Christianity. The emergence of world Christianity is an important signpost, both historically and historiographically.;This dissertation argues that the historiographical trajectory during the twentieth century clearly reveals the missionary impact on Christian historiography and the two phases of historiographical development—Latourettean and Wallsean. Currents in historiographical trends indicate that Christian historiography enlarges, enriches, and enhances the understanding of the course of Christian history with new perspectives, themes, and sources. The developmental aspect of Christian historiography toward more indigenous engagement shows that the historiographical context becomes widened and deepened and results in a better understanding of the spread and the nature of the Christian Gospel.;In the end, this dissertation attempts a conceptualization of world Christianity and its historiographical implications. The term “world Christianity” is more a corrective notion than indicative. It is a countervailing force against the still-prevalent bias toward a Western framework that has long been dominant. Christian historiography, which commenced as church history and was largely provincial and Eurocentric, has been challenged through mission history and is now being changed, making it more a history of “world Christianity.” |
