Of many surprising experiences that life has brought, two stand out for me - God and children. Neither turned out to be anything like I had been lead to expect. God was big in my family of origin; big enough to lure me into a life of faith. But I hardly knew what I was getting into. Then I married and had two daughters. At the time I thought you had children while you got on with the rest of your life. That idea turned out to be wide off the mark as well. Parents sometimes ask their children, usually in the light of some misdemeanor: What have you got to say for yourself? But that question can as readily be put the other way. After all we bring our children without consultation into the world. They have to live with the circumstances we create until age and stage give them a choice. This book is an attempt at an answer to the implied questions of the rising generation. Of all possibilities available why did you choose to live as a believer? And what on earth has that to do with us? The author an Anglican theologian at St Mark's National Anglican Theological College in Canberra, Australia and has previously written for Liturgical Press in the US.
In-Between God explores three important areas for contemporary Christianity: theology, community and discipleship. Part One inquires into the rhythms of faith as it interacts with themes of uncertainty and doubt, the nature of theological discourse, the task of systematic theology, evangelism and the various ways in which theology is done. Part Two discusses the importance of place in relation to the church, and themes of innovation, undecideability and new forms of monastic community. Part Three addresses themes in discipleship: simplicity, mysticism, the passions and pilgrimage. A red thread connecting these essays is the character of the triune God who is the energy and life in between all things.
How might we keep alive the interests and concerns of protest theologies and the constructive contributions they make? Feminist, liberation, and postcolonial theologies offer guiding questions for this task: “What is the purpose of theology?” “Whose interests are being served?” “What might be the public effects of this theology?” This book attends to these questions through a collection of publications over the lifetime of one feminist theologian. Growing up in Australia as these new protest theologies were emerging, Thomson recalls the influences that went into forming her as the theologian she became. She specialized in hermeneutics, looking for stars and compasses that might guide her theology into these new territories, with a willingness to listen to the Christian tradition for its life-giving words, and a willingness to critique it for the ideologies it carried. This double hermeneutic can be seen throughout her work. The chapters in this book are divided thematically into five parts: Theology and Teaching, Public Theology, The Church, The Atonement, and Being Human. Her interests in feminist and liberation theologies inform each theme, so that she might pass on theology better than she received it.
This collection of studies by friends, colleagues, students, and associates of Thorwald Lorenzen centers on his pivotal research interests--the theological and ethical implications of a relational understanding of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In two major works on the resurrection, Lorenzen demonstrated the radical ramifications for Christian discipleship of affirming a relational perspective on the resurrection, especially with regard to social justice, human rights, ecumenical dialogue, and holistic spirituality. The purpose of this book is to honor the theological work of Thorwald Lorenzen by examining anew and pressing ahead with certain aspects of his own research interests, whether in historical and systematic theology, biblical exegesis and hermeneutics, or social ethics and spirituality.
Avenging Angel by R. Chauncey Revenge can be stealth, but it can never be concealed. Eternally tied to his wheelchair-this is what has become of Derrick Whittier after being shot by a street drug dealer twenty years ago. Since then, he has been deprived of many things: the ability to walk, to see life positively, and to have an erection. But he still has something that can never be taken from him-he's still the number one genius in computer science the world over. The death of four drug lords and their bodyguards alarmed Sand Vale one morning. Detective Lee and his assistant, Shannon, set out to find the killer-someone with superhuman abilities. But it's not the normal murder case they have handled in the past; they were playing with a god and his creation. Avenging Angel, by R. Chauncey, leads readers to twisty discoveries in finding a murderer in a computer-dominated world. About the Author R. Chauncey was born in Chicago, Illinois, and worked as a history teacher in high school. Now retired, he enjoys writing stories as well as reading about history.

Average to the point of madness. Forever, this has been the lifestyle of New York teenager, Lone Ricotierre. The life she had was typical; well, certainly as typical as one can expect from a place this crazy. Lone is a confidant; the patient hearer of others problems, and though she finds some fulfillment in her ability to consol, somewhere between the bustle of the city and the mediocrity of high school, Lone feels she has misplaced any real purpose in her own existence. But all that is about to change as a simple act of chance places an ancient book of immense power into her hands. Its name is the Shirhine. Its bindings lock away secrets not meant for mortal eyes. For countless centuries, these vast dangers have been hidden away, guarded beneath the chrono-apocalyptic seal inscribed upon its cover. But now a deeper darkness has been birthed into this world. The cryptic powers of the Rhine are free once again, and Lone has unknowingly set into motion the greatest force this realm has ever known is she prepared to face the consequences? Either way, the average life she used to know, is over. Brimming with heart-pounding excitement and unforgettable characters, Rhine Angel delves into the core of human nature and further hazes the smear of gray separating right from wrong. Author Latoya Raveneaus first book puts a whole new perspective on the ageless topics of what it is to hold true power, and what it means to have real strength. Dont be frightened its only the whole world at stake.
