How I changed my mind about Women in Leadership
Here over twenty Indian Christian leaders, men and women, from north and south, from academia and from mission, reveal their journey away from the traditional teaching that women cannot and should not jointly lead in church or home. For each this is an affirmation or a shift in their personal belief compelled by both life experience and Bible study.
An Asian Introduction to the New Testament
Understanding and assessing the New Testament writings from Asian viewpoints provides a unique and original outlook for interpretation of the Christian Scriptures. To that end, An Asian Introduction to the New Testament is the first book of its kind to take full account of the multireligious, multiethnic, multilingual, multicultural, and pluralistic contexts in which Asian Christians find themselves. Into this already complex world, issues of poverty, casteism, class structure, honor and shame aspects, colonial realities, discrimination against women, natural calamities and ecological crises, and others add more layers of complexity. Perceiving the New Testament in light of these realities enables the reader to see them in a fresh way while understanding that the Jesus Movement emerged from similar social situations. Readers will find able guides in an impressive array of more than twenty scholars from across Asia. Working with volume editor Johnson Thomaskutty, the authors make a clear case: the kernels of Christianity sprouted from Asian roots, and we must read the New Testament considering those roots in order to understand it afresh today.
Preaching the Parables
The parables of Jesus appear to be simple, and yet they can become difficult for preachers to understand and apply. This book wrestles with the unique challenges of preaching the parables. It provides in–depth and practical tools for studying, interpreting, and applying the parables within the reader’s own setting, while remaining true to the intentions of Scripture. Offering a four–step approach, preachers are invited to consider how a parable operates as a picture, then a mirror, then a window, and then a door. Containing contributions from a diverse group of authors, this book provides rich and varied examples of how to put its teaching into practice. Immensely accessible, it empowers preachers, teachers, and readers to encounter the parables in all their simplicity and depth, as if reading them for the first time.
Exploring the New Testament in Asia
There is a growing recognition that God’s design is for us to read Scripture alongside the whole church in all of its cultural and linguistic diversity. Exploring the New Testament in Asia is a textbook for students and scholars of the New Testament to help the church hear and see the good news of Jesus anew. This collection of essays offers theological reflections on New Testament themes from Asian perspectives, while addressing contextual issues in light of the New Testament. Touching on topics such as salvation, holiness, poverty, ethnic tensions, reconciliation, honoring elders, persecution, and hospitality, the scholars in this book demonstrate the importance of a varied contemporary context for understanding the New Testament. The result is a theological contribution that is both contextually relevant and biblically faithful.
