Reformed Public Theology: A Global Vision for Life in the World

Matthew Kaemingk, Ed.

(Baker Academic)

The Reformed tradition in the twenty-first century is increasingly diverse, dynamic, and deeply engaged in a wide variety of global and public issues, from the arts and business to immigration and race to poetry and politics. This book brings together the insights of a diverse group of leading Reformed thinkers–including Nicholas Wolterstorff, Makoto Fujimura, Bruce Ashford, John Witvliet, Ruben Rosario Rodriguez, and James K. A. Smith–to offer a contemporary vision of the depth and diversity of the Reformed faith and its global public impact.

What Is Integral Mission?

C. Rene Padilla

(Fortress Press)

Over these last years, the integral mission movement has flourished admirably, in Latin America and around the world — especially in the Majority World. Testimonies of its proliferation are the Micah Network and Red del Camino para la Misión Integral en América Latina (The Way Network for Integral Mission in Latin America), two organisations I have had the honour of directing. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done to get the majority of local churches around the world to commit to transforming the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, we can only praise God for the progress we have seen in the practice of integral mission. We will be satisfied if this publication contributes to extending and deepening that practice even more.
