Missions
| This book reveals a rich diversity of Anabaptist engagement with Muslims around the
world. Here are essays and reports from missionaries in the field, administrators at mission
agencies, professors and scholars of mission, and theologicals. Among these voices is a spirit of
dialogue, questioning, agreeing, amazement, and sometimes dissent. Mennonites Meeting
Muslims does not seek to present a homogenized view that flows through a predetermined
Anabaptist ideological grid. Rather it is a forum for giving and receiving counsel and a place to
share stories and reflections that will encourage and help to equip Christians for the calling to
presence in the way of Christ. Copyright 2004 Herald Press | | | | Surprises of the Christian Way | View shopping basket | | by David W. Shenk | |

Faith
| After 2000 years the gospel continues to surprise if only we let
it. David Shenk's goal in Surprises of the Christian Way is
to do precisely that: to enable not only long-time Christians but also
seekers wondering why the gospel matters to be surprised anew by the
fresh and amazing power of Christian faith to transform lives.
Written in simple and anecdotal yet fresh style, this book invites
all readers to enter the teachings and stories of the bible and make
them their own. Readers from a wide variety of cultures will find
themselves entering and learning from each other's stories of faith as
well as the search for belief in Christ. Copyright October 2000. | | | | Journeys of the Muslim Nation and the Christian Church: Exploring the Mission of two Communities | View shopping basket | | by David W. Shenk | |

Education
| Islam and Christianity seem to be at opposite and unbridgeable
poles, both committed to world mission. Given the political tension and
violent acts that sometimes surround these two major world religions,
it is essential for both sides to understand the other-its history,
beliefs, traditions, and vision for the future. This invaluable
resource from an expert in comparative religious studies,examines Islam
and Christianity at their deepest spiritual, cultural, and
communal levels. It explores the similarities, and yet unavoidable
differences found in Isaac and Ishmael, Jesus and Muhammad, the Bible
and the Qur'an, Jerusalem and Medina, the Eucharist and the Hajj, the
Church and the Ummah. Reflecting years of conversations and dialogue
with Muslim friends, this is narrative theology, full of anecdote and
personal experience that bridges the poles and builds understanding.
David W. Shenk was born and raised in a Christian missionary home in
Tanzania. For ten years he was involved in educational work in Islamic
Somalia and lectured in comparative religion and church history at
Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya for six years. Since 1980, Shenk
has been based at Eastern Mennonite Missions (EMM) headquarters,
Salunga, Pennsylvania, where he helps to coordinate interfaith
commitments. Appropriate for university and seminary classes, this
guide also includes study questions for small groups or Sunday school
classes. Copyright 2003 Herald Press. | | | | Creating communities of the Kingdom: New Testament Models of

Bible Study
| Every neighborhood on earth deserves to have a faithful church in
it. This can happen only when established churches cooperate with each
other and allow the Holy Spirit to help them create new churches in
other communities. To provide helpful approaches to church growth,
David W. Shenk and Ervin R. Stutzman went to the book of Acts to see
how the apostles started new churches. They weave into the biblical
commentary practical applications gleaned from contemporary theology,
anthropology, sociology, psychology, and communication theory. Each
chapter concludes with questions for review, study, and discussion. | | | | Global Gods: Exploring the Role of Religions in Modern Societies | View shopping basket | | by David W. Shenk | |

Evangelism
| In a comprehensive and systematic way, David W. Shenk covers the major
current human options for making meaning out of life. As a committed Christian
who values interfaith dialogue, Shenk indentifies more local religious options
and four truly global options--Buddism, Christianity, Islam, and Marxism.
Global Gods is a fresh approach to comparative religions. It is a
substantial contribution to the developing literature and widespread interest
concerning the role of religion in human society. In an increasingly
pluralistic world, the global issues explored are not only theoretical, but
have Practical urgency. Selected by the Evangelical Christian Publishers
Association as one of the top five missions/evangelism books of the year (1996). | | | | God's Call to Mission | View shopping basket | | by David W. Shenk | |

Cultures
| Mission in our way, says David W. Shenk, oppresses people and destroys
cultures. Mission in Christ's way is good news to oppressed people everywhere.
Our Creator is the good missionary who seeks us and invites us into a joyful
relationship with him, with others, and with creation. Jesus gathers those who
say yes to his call into a community of faith who are called to be a light to
the nations. Two astonishing surprises compel the church into mission. The
first surprise is that in Jesus the anointed one God suffers for us. Jesus
lays down his life that we might have life. The second surprise is that God
commissions the church to serve in mission as Jesus did. The Spirit of God
calls every congregation to serve in mission. | | | | A Muslim and A Christian in Dialogue | View shopping basket | | by Badru D. Kateregga and David W. Shenk | |

| Millions of Muslims and Christians are neighbors and worship the
same God. Yet they seldom witness to each other. In this book, a
Muslim and a Christian attempt to witness and listen. The issues they
deal with are profound. Badru D. Dateregga and David W. Shenk open up
the basic questions of the human situation and confront similarities
and differences in Muslim and Christian responses. In recent years
Muslim-Christian interactions have too often been antagonistic. Here
the authors pioneer another way--that of authentic dialogue between
friends.
