Life Transfigured: A Contemporary Pauline Theology
Michael Gorman
( Eerdmans )
A vibrant study of what Paul’s teaching means for everyday Christian life
In this paradigm-shifting book, Michael J. Gorman helps readers see the apostle Paul’s teaching from a fresh perspective―not as a set of abstract doctrines, but as lived theology.
Drawing from a lifetime’s worth of studying, writing, and teaching about Paul, Gorman explains how Pauline theology relates to real-life experiences of individuals and communities. While engaging key Pauline themes, he shows how Paul’s transformative message speaks meaningfully to contemporary challenges―racism, sexuality, christian Nationalism, ministerial integrity, and more. By consistently emphasizing lived theology, Life Transfigured equips readers with practical tools for real-world ministry and community engagement.
This book serves as an essential bridge between serious scholarship and everyday practice, making it ideal for seminary students, pastors, and thoughtful Christians as well as scholars. Readers will discover not just what Paul taught, but how his vision of resurrectionally cruciform living can transform both personal faith journeys and church witness in the world today. An indispensable addition to any theological library, Life Transfigured will reshape how readers understand the apostle’s teaching and its enduring relevance.

I AM Speaking to You: Becoming Beloved Disciples in The Gospel of John
Megan McKenna
( Orbis Books )
“This book is a beautiful summons to rededicate ourselves to the magnificent call to be disciples of the nonviolent Jesus―the beloved children of the God of peace!―and to stand up, speak out, and carry on like Jesus in his pursuit of God’s reign of justice, equality, disarmament, creation, and peace. What’s not to like? Read it, underline it, and together, let’s live it!”―Fr. John Dear, author,The Gospel of PeaceandUniversal Love
Storyteller and scripture scholar Megan McKenna reflects on the narrative stories in the Gospel of John. In such stories as the encounter with Nicodemus, the woman at the well, the healing of a blind man, and the raising of Lazarus, the Gospel traces the journey from the beginnings of belief, the confession of faith, the way of discipleship, and the initiation into the community of beloved disciples. Invited to identify ourselves with each of these protagonists, we find in the Gospel of John an account of the stages of Christian conversion and initiation.
