A Study of Women in Biblical Worlds: in honour of Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza, these essays bring together the discoveries and discussions of some of the top female theologians as they look specifically at women in Biblical times. A much needed book to balance the oft-given impression by current theologians that women were hardly there at all.

The Handbook that provides practical and simple steps for taking your faith, your family and/or your community closer to a way of being church that emulates the genuinely missional ways of Christ and the early church.
Highly recommended.

Alan Hirsch (with Darryn Altclass) has written a ‘full-blooded and comprehensive call for the complete reorientation of the church.’
Like much of Hirsch’s work, this should be essential reading for Christians and church groups, if only to show a view of Church that seems often to be far closer to the way of Jesus than current Western Christianity.
Highly recommended. Handbook also available.

A most illuminating and gentle book about our tendency to think only ‘perfect’ is truly good. Philip Simons was dying as he wrote this book, and realising in his inimitably intelligent way that as he became weaker, more dependent and less secure about all – he was also finding all the blessings of such imperfections.
A thought-provoking, meditational and often humorous look at our
misunderstanding of ‘perfection’ and ‘imperfection’.
Highly recommended for anyone!

A book on ‘the unexpected love of an untamable God’.
Mark Galli reminds us of the fearsome and passionate side of God displayed through Jesus, and what this means for who we also are to be.

One of the great recent works of theology and very readable.
Martin Borg and N. T Wright converse regarding who Jesus was and what it means for us. Their often very different views allow the reader to see a broad range of possibilities and ideas and the discussion helps one to establish one’s own position. One of the most helpful books on who Jesus was/is currently in print.
Highly Recommended.

A wonderful book by Australian theologian Val Webb. This book
explores the phenomenon of definitions and images that have become inextricably linked with the word GOD – and at ways in which God might be perceived with greater respect for the mystery and the unknown. A highly recommended read for any Christian.
