The Story of the Christ
By Scot McKnight / Baker $1.99 – Save 85%!!! For two thousand years the figure of Jesus has been the most powerful and pervasive influence on Western culture, not only in religion and ethics but also in politics, literature, music, and the visual arts. This book features insights from Scot McKnight, author of the bestselling book The Jesus Creed. McKnight’s compelling introduction provides helpful background information on the sources of our information (the Gospels), the religious setting of Jesus’ life, the heart of Jesus’ teaching, and a summation of what kind of person Jesus was. The book then offers a continuous narrative account of the life and words of Jesus, woven together from the four canonical Gospels. All who seek to know more about Jesus and his message for people today will enjoy this book. |

Clothed in Nothingness: Consolation for Suffering
By Leonard M. Hummel / Augsburg Fortress $1.99 – Save 90%!!! Where is God when one suffers? How may one be consoled? How do people understand their religious beliefs in relation to suffering? When they encounter genuine travail, do their religious convictions come into play? How are they modified or asserted? Leonard Hummel takes three of the most important insights of the Reformation–the doctrine of justification, the theology of the Cross, and the priesthood of believers–to see how they have been reappropriated by Christians in contemporary pastoral settings. He examines the theology of consolation as formulated in the early Lutheran tradition and as practiced by Lutherans. He describes the “religious coping” of six believers who have suffered personal or social ills and how their capacity to cope was enhanced or affected by their belief. These vivid case studies are then used to illuminate how pastoral theology and caregivers might bring traditional theological beliefs into a distinctive “lived theology.” |
