Is Jesus the way to recover our humanity? One New Humanity offers a vision of glory that confronts the shame and violence of our world. Drawing insights from early Christians, the global church, social sciences, and Scripture, the authors argue that Ephesians 2:13–17 reveals a social and horizontal dimension to the gospel of Christ: In Christ we gain a new peaceable way of being human. Through this extensive look at the gospel of peace, we discover that Scripture speaks more powerfully than we often realize to the problems of polarization, alienation, shame, and violence. The gospel offers a way out of the cycles of violence which have entrapped both the church and the world, and opens up a path of true freedom, purpose, and glory in Jesus. One New Humanity offers a fresh framework for Jesus-centered reconciliation; we embody Christ’s peace, for the world, near and far.

An Honorific Gospel: Biblically Faithful & Culturally Relevant Christians engaged in communicating the gospel navigate a challenging tension: faithfulness to God’s ancient, revealed Word—and relevance to the local, current social context. What if there was a lens or paradigm offering both? Understanding the Bible—particularly the gospel—through the ancient cultural “language” of honor-shame offers believers this double blessing. In Honor, Shame, and the Gospel, over a dozen practitioners and scholars from diverse contexts and fields add to the ongoing conversation around the theological and missiological implications of an honorific gospel. Eight illuminating case studies explore...
50 Years of Mobilizing for Frontier Missions “Do not despise the day of small beginnings.” These words from the book of Zachariah were prophetically spoken by famed missiologist Arthur Glasser to the inaugural Perspectives class in 1974. The mystery of transformation from a tiny classroom discussion into a sweeping frontier mission seems lost to time. The fascinating connection between the Perspectives movement, the frontier mission movement, and church planting movements is a story rarely told yet vital to understanding the spread of the gospel to resistant populations. Yvonne Huneycutt’s Propelled by Hope unfolds the hidden tapestry of these interconnected movements through sixty per...
This volume in Biblical Theology for Life series dives deeply into the topic of human violence. Before exploring what the Bible says about violence, Old Testament scholar Helen Paynter sets out the contours for the study ahead by addressing the various definitions of violence and the theories of its origins, prevalence, and purpose. What is violence? Is there such a thing as "natural violence"? Is violence a human or social construct or can we describe natural phenomena as violent? How does the concept of violence relate to the concept of evil? Violence is everywhere; is it escapable? How do we resist violence? Having queued up the questions, Paynter takes us to the Bible for answers. Starti...
