| How should Anabaptists, Mennonites and other Christians think
today about the saving work of God in Jesus' life, ministry, death, and
resurrection? In this volume, 20 leading theologians, biblical
scholars, historians of Anabaptism, pastors, and peacemaking
practitioners offer their reflections. In addition, while engaging the
thought of J. Denny Weaver, they ponder such questions as these and
more: Should Jesus' atoning work be viewed as a sacrifice? Or is it
better viewed as a defeat of the powers of sin and death? The
contributors are Alain Epp Weaver, Susan L. Biesecker and Jason R.

Religions
| An atheist drawn to religion, Soffin shows how to conceptualize a "God" who is in and of the cosmos rather than also beyond it as theists affirm. This allows Soffin and those who see value in the path he blazes to embrace and value the treasures of religion even while not being theistic. Says Soffin, "For those who sense in modern life an underlying absence of fundamental meaning-yet fear self-deception in pursuing 'God'-there may be no recourse but to shoulder the burdens of reflection and begin the ancient journey anew."

| A Mennonite Woman, part narrative, part theology, part spiritual memoir, Dawn Ruth Nelson asks us to wake up to what is shaping us spiritually as contemporary Christians in North American culture. Discover why Mennonites have been drinking deeply from contemplative spiritual formation wells in the last 30 years. Experience the story of twentieth-century Mennonite agrarian spirituality through the lens of one womanÕs life and one seminary. 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.
