Serving God Globally: Finding Your Place in International Development

Author(s): Roland Hoksbergen
Publisher:  Baker Academic
Price: $0.99       Buy Now!

Dominating the daily news cycle today are the grim realities of grinding poverty, sex trafficking, gender discrimination, child soldiering, HIV/AIDS, failed states, corruption, and environmental breakdown. In the midst of such pain and brokenness, the followers of Christ cannot stand idly by, for God calls them into the mission of reconciling all things, first by easing suffering and then by building flourishing communities through the process of transformational human development. This practical handbook explains what development is, what development workers actually do, and how young people can prepare for mission careers in this field, both in North America and abroad. In addition to setting the big picture for how Christians approach the big questions of international development, the book draws on stories, advice, and wisdom collected from personal interviews with about fifty development professionals.

Christianity’s demographics, vitality, and influence have tipped markedly toward the global South and East. Addressing this seismic shift, a noted Christian literary scholar recounts how her focus has shifted from American to African literature.

Susan VanZanten began her career working on nineteenth-century American literature. A combination of personal circumstances, curricular demands, world events, and unfolding scholarship have led her to teach, research, and write about African literature and to advocate for a global approach to education and scholarship. This is the second book in the Turning South series, which offers reflections by eminent Christian scholars who have turned their attention and commitments beyond North America.

Passions of the Christ: The Emotional Life of Jesus in the Gospels

Author(s): F. Scott Spencer
Publisher:  Baker Academic
Price: $5.99       Buy Now!

Senior New Testament scholar F. Scott Spencer focuses on a neglected area in the study of Jesus and the Gospels: the emotional life of Jesus. This book offers a fresh reading of the Gospels through the lens of Jesus’s emotions–anger, grief, disgust, surprise, compassion, and joy. These emotions motivate Jesus’s mission and reveal to Gospel readers what matters most to him. Amid his passions, Jesus forges his character as God’s incarnate Messiah, wholly embodied and emotionally engaged with others and thoroughly embedded in the surrounding environment.
