Oswald Sanders&’ classic volume, The Incomparable Christ, to explore His one-of-a-kind story. From heaven to earth. From birth to death. From resurrection to right this minute.

The Incomparable God: Readings in Biblical Theology
by Brent A. StrawnMy Lord! There is no one like you among the gods! Attempting to describe the nature of God often points to the exclamation of the psalmist—that God is unlike anyone or anything else. And yet the claim is not simply the overflow of an adoring heart: God&’s incomparability is a truth lodged deep within Christian Scripture. In The Incomparable God, Old Testament scholar Brent A. Strawn offers thoughtful insight into this theological mystery.This volume collects eighteen of Strawn&’s most provocative essays on the nature of God, several of which are published for the first time here. The topics Strawn covers include the following: • the complex portrayal of God in Genesis • God&’s mercy in Exodus • poetic description of God in the Psalms • the Trinity in both testaments • pedagogy of the Old Testament • integration of personal faith and scholarship Encompassing close readings of Scripture, biblical-theological argument, and considerations of praxis, The Incomparable God is essential reading for Old Testament scholars and students.

Incomprehensible Certainty: Metaphysics and Hermeneutics of the Image
by Thomas PfauThomas Pfau’s study of images and visual experience is a tour de force linking Platonic metaphysics to modern phenomenology and probing literary, philosophical, and theological accounts of visual experience from Plato to Rilke. <p><p> Incomprehensible Certainty presents a sustained reflection on the nature of images and the phenomenology of visual experience. Taking the “image” (eikōn) as the essential medium of art and literature and as foundational for the intuitive ways in which we make contact with our “lifeworld,” Thomas Pfau draws in equal measure on Platonic metaphysics and modern phenomenology to advance a series of interlocking claims. <p><p>First, Pfau shows that, beginning with Plato’s later dialogues, being and appearance came to be understood as ontologically distinct from (but no longer opposed to) one another. Second, in contrast to the idol that is typically gazed at and visually consumed as an object of desire, this study positions the image as a medium whose intrinsic abundance and excess reveal to us its metaphysical function―namely, as the visible analogue of an invisible, numinous reality. Finally, the interpretations unfolded in this book (from Plato, Plotinus, Pseudo-Dionysius, John Damascene via Bernard of Clairvaux, Bonaventure, Julian of Norwich, and Nicholas of Cusa to modern writers and artists such as Goethe, Ruskin, Turner, Hopkins, Cézanne, and Rilke) affirm the essential complementarity of image and word, visual intuition and hermeneutic practice, in theology, philosophy, and literature. <p><p>Like Pfau’s previous book, Minding the Modern, Incomprehensible Certainty is a major work. With over fifty illustrations, the book will interest students and scholars of philosophy, theology, literature, and art history.
¿Incondicional?: El llamado de Jesús al perdón radical
by Brian ZahndSi el cristianismo va a ser una voz convincente y relevante en el siglo 21, necesita un mensaje fresco--no una innovación o una interpretación novedosa--sino un regreso a nuestras raíces. ¿Y cuáles son nuestras raíces? Hasta cierto punto de eso es que trata este libro. Si el cristianismo no se trata del perdón, no se trata de nada. En este libro los lectores serán confrontados con la cruda realidad de cuan profundo necesitamos buscar dentro de sí para verdaderamente mostrar el perdón y la misericordia de Cristo a aquellos por los que menos inclinados nos sentimos a concederles perdón o misericordia. El motivo primordial del autor al escribir este libro es ayudar a recobrar la verdadera belleza del cristianismo como se halla en el perdón. Somos una Iglesia en necesidad de renovación, el autor está convencido que esto se puede lograr al rescatar el hermoso evangelio del perdón.

Este libro comienza con el Holocausto a medida que explora lo que significa el perdón--y cual lejos llega--en el mundo real de asesinato, violación, abuso infantil, genocidio y otras atrocidades. Lleva al lector más allá de la exposición bíblica usual del tema del perdón así como a pensar ¿Qué haría?

The Inconspicuous God: Heidegger, French Phenomenology & the Theological Turn (Indiana Series in the Philosophy of Religion)
by Jason W. AlvisDominique Janicaud once famously critiqued the work of French phenomenologists of the theological turn because their work was built on the seemingly corrupt basis of Heidegger's notion of the inapparent or inconspicuous. In this powerful reconsideration and extension of Heidegger's phenomenology of the inconspicuous, Jason W. Alvis deftly suggests that inconspicuousness characterizes something fully present and active, yet quickly overlooked. Alvis develops the idea of inconspicuousness through creative appraisals of key concepts of the thinkers of the French theological turn and then employs it to describe the paradoxes of religious experience.

The Inconvenient Gospel: A Southern Prophet Tackles War, Wealth, Race, and Religion
by Clarence Jordan"Clarence Jordan spoke with an unwavering prophetic voice. He firmly rejected materialism, militarism, and racism as obstacles to authentic faith... He was a fearless and innovative defender of human rights." --President Jimmy Carter On 440 depleted acres in Sumter County, Georgia, a young Baptist preacher and farmer named Clarence Jordan gathered a few families and set out to show that Jesus intended more than spiritual fellowship. Like the first Christians, they would share their land, money, and possessions. Working together to rejuvenate the soil and the local economy, they would demonstrate racial and social justice with their lives. Black and white community members eating together at the same table scandalized local Christians, drew the ire of the KKK, and led to drive-by shootings, a firebombing, and an economic boycott. This bold experiment in nonviolence, economic justice, and sustainable agriculture was deeply rooted in Clarence Jordan's understanding of the person and teachings of Jesus, which stood in stark contrast to the hypocrisy of churches that blessed wars, justified wealth disparity, and enforced racial segregation. "You can't put Christianity into practice," Jordan wrote, "You can't make it work. As desperately as it is needed in this poor, broken world, it is not a philosophy of life to be 'tried.' Nor is it a social or ethical ideal which has tantalized humankind with the possibility of attainment. For Christianity is not a system you work - it is a Person who works you." This selection from his talks and writings introduces Clarence Jordan's radically biblical vision to a new generation of peacemakers, community builders, and activists.

An Incremental Life: Poems
by Luci Shaw"Luci Shaw is a legend" —Christianity TodayThis captivating collection of poems by beloved author Luci Shaw, reflects on daily ideas and activities as they arrive, bit by bit, to illuminate us with their wisdom and enlarge on the meanings of human experience. Like small messages from beyond, these incidents call us to pay attention. In An Incremental Life, Shaw breathes life into the simpleness of the every-day and finds God in the memory of the mundane. Through her verses, she explores the intricate tapestry of existence, from the tender memories of childhood to the profound questions of mortality. Her poems are like windows opening to the soul, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and savor the beauty of the world around them. INCREMENTS I live by increments, single breaths of an ambient air, marking off hours, days. Apprenticed to grace, I tread statio in sequentiae, edging every step forward before venturing the next. Staggering up towards the stony crests of the foothills, dusty, I am almost undone with weariness, only half believing that the view will widen. In my falling upward into your home, O Faithful One, stay with me, your wind music playing the ear of my mind like an instrument. "This is how life happens, one day at a time, in increments! And God is in each of them for us," Luci Shaw

Inculturation of Christian Worship: Exploring the Eucharist
by Phillip ToveyOriginally published in 2004. Inculturation - the creative and dynamic relationship between the Christian message and culture or cultures - is of interest to many churches throughout the world, particularly since the Second Vatican Council made it part of the Roman Catholic agenda. This book looks at the question of the inculturation of Christian worship, particularly in the Eucharist. Looking at the relationship of worship and culture requires insights from both theology and anthropology; Tovey develops the tools to interconnect perspectives into an interdisciplinary exploration of different models of inculturation. Inculturation of Christian Worship is both interdisciplinary and ecumenical in approach. Case studies are drawn from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, African Independent Churches, The Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. While there is a focus on Africa for particular examples, the issues are discussed in a world wide context.
