The Christian life is a curious mixture of praying and partying. Partying? Yes, because Christians have a salvation to celebrate! Christians have a joy which this world can neither give nor take away The Christian life is a feast not a fast. It is characterized by abundance not abstinence. It is a continual rejoicing in the grace and goodness of God. This celebration begins in this life and will continue unhindered in a fuller, richer way in the life to come. In Old Testament times, God instituted various Feasts throughout the year for His ‘people’s blessing. He commanded His people to party! This book looks at these feasts and considers their true significance in the light of their ultimate fulfilment in Christ.

N.T. Wright’s magnum opus Paul and the Faithfulness of God is a landmark study on the history and thought of the apostle Paul. This volume brings together a stellar group of international scholars to critically assess an array of issues in Wright’s work. Essays in part I set Wright in the context of other Pauline theologies. Part II addresses methodological issues in Wright’s approach, including critical realism, historiography, intertextuality, and narrative. In part III, on context, scholars measure Wright’s representation of early Judaism, Greek philosophy, paganism, and the Roman Empire. Part IV turns to Wright’s exegetical decisions regarding law, covenant, and election, the “New Perspective,” justification and redemption, Christology, Spirit, eschatology, and ethics. Part V at last speaks to the implications of Wright’s work for the church's theology, sacraments, and mission, and for global responsibility in a “postmodern” age. The volume includes a critical response...

Despite Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s earlier theological achievements and writings, it was his correspondence and notes from prison that electrified the postwar world six years after his death in 1945. The materials gathered and selected by his friend Eberhard Bethge in Letters and Papers from Prison not only brought Bonhoeffer to a wide and appreciative readership, especially in North America, they also introduced to a broad readership his novel and exciting ideas of religionless Christianity, his open and honest theological appraisal of Christian doctrines, and his sturdy, if sorely tried, faith in face of uncertainty and doubt.
