Daughters of Miriam: Women Prophets in Ancient Israel
Wilda Gafney
*** $5.99 ***
There are untold numbers of female prophets hiding in the masculine grammar and androcentric focus of the Hebrew scriptures. There are women-prophets in the communities around biblical Israel, existing for hundreds of years and even a thousand years before the Israelite and Judean prophets recorded their messages. The rabbinic and Christian fathers analyzed and found more women in the scriptures who function as prophets than the biblical authors identify. All of these female prophets have an intimate connection with the God of Israel; they express that connection by singing, dancing, drumming, speaking with and for God, waging war, performing miracles, exercising statecraft, and giving birth. Each of them is a daughter of Miriam, the mother of all women-prophets.

Dialectical Theology and Jacques Ellul: An Introductory Exposition
Jacob van Vleet
*** $5.99 ***
“Jacques Ellul’s work is incredibly important for contemporary Christians to wrestle with, but his corpus is sprawling and its coherence is not easily discerned. In this wonderfully clear introduction, Jacob Van Vleet clearly and concisely lays out how Ellul’s works are united by a clear argumentative structure. A real intellectual achievement that is also a gift to all those who want entry into the riches of Ellul’s works.”

Bodies of Peace: Ecclesiology, Nonviolence,and Witness
Myles Werntz
*** $5.99 ***
This book argues that Christian nonviolence is both formed by and forms ecclesial life, creating an inextricable relationship between church commitment and resistance to war. Examining the work of John Howard Yoder, Dorothy Day, William Stringfellow, and Robert McAfee Brown, this book explores how each thinker’s advocacy for nonviolent resistance depends deeply upon the ecclesiology out of which it comes.
