God, Truth, and Witness: Engaging Stanley Hauerwas

1 review

Brazos Press, 2005

From Brazos
In 2001, Time magazine called Stanley Hauerwas "America's finest theologian." Now his peers (e.g., Robert Wilken, George Lindbeck, Robert Jenson, David Burrell, and Robert Bellah) honor and critique the key themes of his thought. Compassionate but controversial, Stanley Hauerwas is always stimulating.

Reading In Communion

2 reviews
Stephen E. Fowl, L. Gregory Jones

Wipf & Stock Publishers, 1998

Best book on practical hermenutics
It's a shame that this book is no longer in print. There is no book I would recommend higher regarding hermeneutics. This book does not deal with the philosophical and technical questions that leave most people bewildered when thinking about the relation of scripture to our life today, but focuses instead on the importance of wisdom and character in our reading of the text in our churches. ...

The Academic's Handbook

2 reviews

Duke University Press, 2006

This is excellent!
This is a book I wish someone had told me about when still a doctoral student -- it certainly would have helped a great deal over the years. Things obviously would have worked much better and my transition from Graduate School to the professoriate would have been much smoother. Every graduate student and every new assistant professor needs one on their shelves. Not only that: Graduate Faculty, ...

Sams' Teach Yourself Advanced C in 21 Days (Sams Teach Yourself)

9 reviews
Bradley L. Jones, Gregory L. Guntle

Sams, 1994

Outdated technology, but a great read
Gone are the days of DOS console programming. You dont see the types of interfaces that are used in this book anymore. So why is it so good? It teaches some advanced concepts and libraries used in C. Also, you never know when that legacy app will need fixing I found the subject material facinating and learned alot about putting together a database program without a fancy RDMS system. ...

4 reviews
L. Gregory Jones

Eerdmans Pub Co, 1995

an excellent study into the theology of forgivness
This is an important work into the theology of forgiveness that presents serious pastoral and ethical concerns for the discerning reader. The method employed by the author, L. Gregory Jones, a United Methodist and associate professor of theology at Loyola Maryland, Baltimore, takes under consideration the grounding theology of Karl Barth and the thomistic emphasis on the learned craft of a ...

The Scope of Our Art: The Vocation of the Theological Teacher

1 review

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2001

Putting words to spirit...
There are very few books in my life that I intentionally re-read; there are so many books and so little time that it sometimes seems a dis-service to be re-reading things. I have a short list of things I like to revisit - a list of literary and other classics that I try to re-read (sometimes in different edition or translation) once per decade or so. However, this book, 'The Scope of Our Art: ...

Why Narrative? Readings in Narrative Theology

2 reviews
Stanley Hauerwas

Wipf & Stock Publishers, 1997

Challenging, refreshing, rewarding
This is not easy going: a colection of 17 reprinted articles (plus a helpful new introduction) which explore the philosophical and theological side of narrative and seek to show how it can be a useful tool for thinking about the meaning of life. Everyone's into 'story' these days and how important it is, but few can agree on exactly what a 'story' enables us to say or to know about anything. ...

Grace upon Grace: Essays in Honor of Thomas A. Langford

1 review

Abingdon Press, 1999

A very interesting study from a Wesleyan perspective
As the title suggests this is a book about Grace. There is not a simple definition of what grace is, rather these essays as a whole seek, through a variety of topics and disciplines, to define Grace in an expansive way, realizing this to be a term so loaded with meaning and importance that simple definitions will not suffice. Specifically, however, these essays are coming primarily from a ...

Attentiveness: Being Present (Living the Good Life Together)

1 review

Abingdon Press, 2006

Good 4-5 week study
We used this study in an adult Sunday School setting, and it worked very well for the first four weeks. The study focuses on finding the voice of God in the midst of our modern busyness, and all of the various elements of the series worked well to help our group make good progress in a short period of time. I would whole-heartedly recommend this to other groups, but as a 5-week series. ...
