A Mennonite Woman explores how the shapes people live among in turn shape them. Mennonite Christians are called to be intentional about giving a God-shape to their lives. This book argues that spiritual formation is necessarily changing from a spiritual-formation-by-just-living-in-community to a more intentional spiritual formation-by-contemplative-and communal-disciplines.

But more than that, here is simply a good story! Here the author integrates her Mennonite background, her encounter with Irish Catholic faith, and the spiritual life she discovers in her grandmother and in her own everyday life.

Engaging that question, the book addresses the main beliefs Christians affirm in clear, practical, and challenging ways. Written Christian theology too often seems overly complicated, abstract, and removed from actual day-to-day life. Yet, Jesus' own teachings are simple, concrete, and directly engaged with people's lives. Theology as if Jesus Matters approaches Jesus' life and teaching as the model and core content for theology.

On any given Sunday morning, a vast arragy of feelings, questions, nopes and fears come with the congregants as they gather in the church pews. can a sermon begin to tough even a few of these? These sermons reveal that when the preacher draws deeply upon the story of the faith and enters imaginatively into biblical text, sparks leap from ancient story to life now lived. of course, not all questions are quickly answered, not all hopes immediately realized, but new possibilities arise, mercy and grace quiet the struggling spirits.

The first Goshen Conference on Religion and Science took place in April 2001, with Nancey Murphy as it's keynote speaker. Dr. Murphy presented three public lectures at Goshen College, dealing with human identity, the concept of a moral basis for the universe, and evolution respectively. Three discussion sessions followed the lectures. These concentrated on physicalism, the embodiment of humans, and prayer related to God's action. This volume contains the full conference proceedings, edited by Goshen College professor of physics, Carl s. Helrich. The informal, oral nature of the presentations and exchanges has been kept. Readers will find the material accessible and thought-provoking.

Significantly extending the thesis of his influential book The Politics of Jesus and other previous works, Yoder here argues that the historic Jewish-Christian schism "did not have to be." Building his case on compelling historical evidence, Yoder shows that, properly understood, Jesus did not reject Judaism, that Judaism did not reject Jesus, and that the apostle Paul's mandate for the salvation of the nations is best understood as belonging to the contest of his Jewish heritage.

Editors Cartwright and Ochs clarify and crystallize Yoder's positions by locating them in relation to his decades-long dialgue with the philosopher-rabbi Steven S. Schwarzschild and by relating them to Yoder's own study of the book of Ephesians. They also show how Yoder's views on Jewish-Christina reconciliation have much to say about what it means for Christians and Jews to jointly be God's "missionary" peoples to and for the nations.

In rural Amish and Mennonite communities, the authors explain, the environment—especially the land—is considered part of the Kingdom that God will establish on Earth. Creation and human history are thus seen as completely interdependent.
