NEWS: Midweek Recap / Bargain Books. [Vol. 3, #19]
We have recently made a slight change to our format and the reviews, excerpts, poems, etc. of our Midweek update will be posted to “pages” on the ERB website, and announced via social media. If you’re a “first-to-know” sort of person, you can get these updates when they first come out in one of two ways:
Otherwise, in our regular issue each Friday, we will recap the content of our midweek update. For instance, this week’s update included:
- [VIDEO] Darrell Johnson on Ascension and the Church.
- [AUDIO] KCRW Bookworm Interview with John D’Agata.
- Poem: “The Mountain” by Robert Frost
- Excerpt: I AM HUTTERITE by Mary-Ann Kirkby.
In our continuing effort to fund the publication and free distribution of The Englewood Review, we are going to be collaborating more intentionally with Christian Book Distributors. Primarily, we will be offering you the opportunity to buy bargain books from CBD that we think of are interest. Buying books this way is a win / win / win proposition. You get great books for a great price, CBD gets the sale and we get an excellent referral fee from CBD.

Jesus of Nazareth
By Dorothee Soelle / Westminster John Knox Press $2.99 – Save 85%!! In this popular yet academically grounded look at Jesus, liberation theologians Dorothee Soelle and Luise Schottroff offer a corrective to the “Jesus of history” research recently made popular through the works of the Jesus Seminar. By situating Jesus within this community of friends–who played a large part in his life, ministry, and movement–the authors show that the story of Jesus has not come to a close. Rather, this book demonstrates how his works, words, and inspired community pose timeless challenges for contemporary life. Includes sixty-seven color illustrations, a glossary, chronological table, map, and brief annotated bibliography. |

By Joan M. Martin / Westminster John Knox Press $2.99 – Save 90%!! Martin explores the experiences of enslaved women and the realities of their social world to uncover the inter-relationships, in the context of that environment , among moral agency, work, and human meaning. She then reflects ethically on the implications such a distinct perspective on labor might have for women in contemporary African-American communities and for broader discussions about the meaning of work in American society. |
