Returning from the Abyss
Pivotal Moments in the Book of Jeremiah
Walter Brueggemann
~~$18.00~~ $11.70 - You save 35% at PC(USA) Store!

In Returning from the Abyss, Walter Brueggemann explores the book of Jeremiah to illuminate the dual themes of Israel’s long walk into, and out of, the trauma and devastation of exile. Throughout, Brueggemann points out the role of the prophet in overturning a people’s illusory sense of security in unjust structures and leading those same people toward the hope of restoration and return. He highlights the themes that inform the narratives of both Israel and “American exceptionalism.” Readers will examine how the holiness of God is at work in untamed historical processes that point us toward a costly hope for a just economic and political future.

UnClobber, Expanded Edition with Study Guide
Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality
Colby Martin
~~$18.00~~ $11.70 - You save 35% at PC(USA) Store!

Armed with only six passages in the Bible—often known as the “Clobber Passages”—the conservative Christian position has been one that stands against the full inclusion of our LGBTQ siblings. UnClobber reexamines each of those passages, and alternates with author Colby Martin’s own story of being fired from an evangelical megachurch when they discovered his stance on sexuality. UnClobber reviews what the Bible says (and does not say) about homosexuality in such a way that sheds divine light on outdated and inaccurate assumptions and interpretations. This new edition equips study groups and congregations with questions for discussion and a sermon series guide for preachers.

In Words of Love, Eugenia Anne Gamble dives into each of the Ten Commandments and examines their application for modern-day Christians, going beyond the letter of the law to a spiritual truth pointing us toward wholeness and well-being.

Let My People Live reengages the Exodus narrative through a critical, life-affirming Africana hermeneutic that seeks to create and sustain a vision of not just the survival but the thriving of Black communities. Kenneth Ngwa argues that doing interpretive work through an activist, culturally grounded lens rightly recognizes how communities of readers actively shape the priorities of any biblical interpretation.
