baptist History & Beliefs

School of Prophets

A Bicentennial History of Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School John R. Tyson

In commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School’s beginnings—with thirteen men and thirteen dollars—this significant work unfolds the organizational history of a great theological seminary, as well as the dramatic story of the notable women and men who contributed to the school’s rich legacy. Hence, while this is a bicentennial history of an institution, it is fundamentally the history of the people who have epitomized, shaped, and advanced its expanding heritage.

Thus, the narrative includes chapters about institutional growth and development, as well as chapters that serve as cameo biographies of key people who exemplified the spirit of that same period: • • • • •

William Newton Clark Walter Rauschenbusch Howard Thurman Joanna P. Moore Martin Luther King Jr.

In the final analysis, founding president Augustus Strong was correct to call this a story of “bricks, brains, and books,” but in the larger sense it is an account of the galvanizing prophetic Christian vision evolved from its American Baptist roots to the ecumenical enterprise known as Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School.

Christian Education Discipleship

River of Life, Feast of Grace

Baptism, Communion, and Discipleship Jennifer W. Davidson

This lively volume from professor and pastor Jennifer W. Davidson considers the historic theology of the Christian rites of baptism and communion from a Baptist perspective, and then she explores the practical implications of these rituals for a life of discipleship.

As if this practical theology of the church tradition were not constructive enough, the author has also gathered a variety of classical liturgies and original worship resources from an array of voices, diverse in culture, gender, and ethnicity, offering today’s congregations a rich collection of worship resources for contemporary baptismal and communion services. Valuable for liturgical scholarship, congregational education, and pastoral leadership.

Seekers, Saints, and Sinners Life-Changing Encounters with Jesus H. Stephen Shoemaker

From the author of the critically acclaimed Godstories comes a new study for those who crave a life-changing experience with God. Over the course of 10 beautifully written chapters are the stories of 11 personal encounters between Jesus and another figure in the Gospel narratives. Each one was a chance meeting, a one-time interaction that Jesus had with someone he met along the way.

Author and pastor H. Stephen Shoemaker builds on a foundation of solid scholarship to allow the reader to meet Jesus in the life of the biblical characters—as well as to bring that encounter home to meet the living Christ in our own lives today. Great for personal study or small-group discipleship.

The Changing Church Finding Your Way to God’s New Thing Daniel Cash & William H. Griffith; Foreword by Soozi Whitten Ford

Veteran pastors Dan Cash and Bill Griffith tackle the reality of the changing Christian church in a rapidly shifting culture by turning to Scripture to explore eight paradigm shifts in the history of Christ’s gospel and its birth of the church. Beginning with Jesus’ parable of the new wineskins for new wine, Cash and Griffith suggest that God is inviting today’s church leaders to consider new ways of being the Body of Christ in the world. Perfect for an 8-week study in small groups or Bible studies, the chapters identify a key shift in the New Testament narrative and a related dynamic of change with its relevance for local congregations and their leaders. The eight topics explore: • • • • • • • •

New Wineskins—Bell curve of change Incarnation—Types of change Born Again—Obstacles to change Kingdom Manifesto—Process for leading change Old & New Covenants—Different approaches to change Resurrection—No quitting in the face of change Pentecost—Triggers of change Everybody Welcome—Rate or pace of change

Get Your Church Ready to Grow A Guide to Building Attendance and Participation John Zehring

You know that people are lost and that God wants them to be found. You also know that your church has the ability to meet the needs of those people. The question is, How do you draw in the people who need what your congregation has to offer? Beginning with a 12-question quiz to ascertain “How Ready Is Your Church to Grow?” author and consultant John Zehring goes on to offer a wealth of practical ideas and easy-to-implement strategies that are tailor made for your local church’s stage of growth and readiness. Emphasizing participation and engagement over membership numbers, Zehring urges church leaders to focus on meeting people’s needs—in the congregation and, even more, in the surrounding community.

Church & Ministry Social Issues

Justice for Rizpah’s Children

Radical Responses to Childhood Poverty Marilyn P. Turner-Triplett

National studies make it clear: poverty is the greatest threat to a child’s welfare. And while the issues concerning childhood poverty may seem too complex to tackle, Justice for Rizpah’s Children provides concerned readers with a more nuanced and accurate understanding of the issues, as well as a biblically based roadmap for taking practical action. Move beyond a paralyzing awareness to intentional engagement in effecting justice!

Grounded in a sermon about the biblical account of Rizpah (2 Samuel 21:1-10), who advocated for the seven slain children of Saul—two of her own and five of another—this book urges readers to follow Rizpah’s example, refusing to remain idle while children are consumed by systems that prey upon the poor.

Featuring geographically and culturally diverse voices from across the nation, each chapter highlights community organizations whose efforts alleviate different aspects of poverty and whose strategies can be replicated by others in their own locales.

Looking Back, Moving Forward

Wisdom from the Sankofa Institute for African American Pastoral Leadership Dwight N. Hopkins, Editor

”How do we look back to learn as we move forward to celebrate and build new social relationships for our families, religious believers, communities and the world?” This is the question that the Sankofa Institute for African American Pastoral Leadership sets out to answer in this collection of essays, based on lectures from its first five years of ministry. Steeped in spirituality, relishing African American cultural heritage, aware of political forces, and keen on the economic realities of the twenty-first century, this volume offers rich theological and ethical reflection as well as concrete and practical application of biblical insights for the contemporary world.

Devotions from HERStory 31 Days with Women of Faith Lynn Domina

Women have often remained hidden in history, including religious history. Yet even nameless women can be honored, and their faith and actions can inspire us even when we don’t know exactly who they were. And when we do know the names and biographic details of women who have lived more recently, we can commit ourselves to keeping their memories alive. This book attempts to honor many women who have come before us by connecting their stories across time as a resource for our own devotional lives.

Originally intended for the 31 days of Women’s History Month in March, these undated entries permit readers to begin these devotions at any time of the year. Each day’s devotion features an illustration and brief biographical sketch of the featured woman, a Scripture that connects a biblical woman’s story with a more recent “HERstory,” as well as a prayer-poem, a question for personal meditation or group conversation, and an idea for action inspired by the women’s stories. The biblical women of faith are primarily Hebrew or early Christian women but also include Egyptians and Samaritans. The historic women with whom they are paired include women of many faith traditions, as well as various ethnic and national backgrounds. From the medieval mystic Julian of Norwich to the contemporary Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the women herein offer today’s readers inspiring models for the life of faith today.

Preaching & Sermon

The Making of a Preacher 5 Essentials for Ministers Today

Marvin A. McMickle; Foreword by James A. Sanders

“No one is born with the mindset, disciplines, or skills necessary to be an effective preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Preachers are not born; they must be made.” With these words, pastor, professor, and preacher extraordinaire, Marvin McMickle offers a fivestage approach to the spiritual formation of the preacher. Drawing from the biblical life of Moses, the formation process traces the preacher’s development through the steps of Call, Character, Content, Context, and Consequences. By exploring the process of spiritual formation on display in that leader’s life in Scripture, readers will be able to consider and deepen their own preaching ministries.

Reconciliation and Reparation Preaching Economic Justice

Joseph Evans; Foreword by J. Alfred Smith Sr.

“Effective twenty-first-century preaching is prophetic when it addresses closing the income and wealth gap.” In the face of growing inequities in the United States and global economies, Rev. Dr. Joseph Evans, Dean of Morehouse University School of Religion, has issued a clarion call to preachers to disturb the status quo and cause meaningful, thoughtful conversations about a species of biblical preaching that envisions economic justice as the ethical imperative for the twenty-first century, particularly for people of African descent. Written from a preacher’s perspective, grounded in solid scholarship, this volume asserts an ethical imperative for economic justice and what this means for the twenty-first-century church and those who preach in prophetic pulpits around the world.

Envisioning the Reign of God Preaching for Tomorrow Debra J. Mumford

What we believe about the kingdom of God deeply affects how we relate to the world we inhabit here and now. In this new book, professor and scholar Debra Mumford takes the Christian study of “last things” (eschatology) and makes it practical for pastors and church leaders today. “Eschatology is not just about how humanity will be judged on the last day,” she argues, “but how we live our lives every day…. Eschatology is not simply about our ultimate destruction but rather how we construct and conduct our human existence daily.

Eschatology is an existential endeavor that every pastor and preacher who wrestles with the will of God for all of creation must take up with earnest intentionality.” Each chapter considers the eschatological beliefs of a different preacher and how those beliefs shape the style and content of that leader’s ministry.

ABC Reads highlights a Judson Press book that is appropriate for reading and discussion in small group settings as well as for individual study. The recommended book provides an opportunity for learning, sharing and growing in knowledge and faith in Sunday school classes and Bible studies as well as with interested church and community groups.

The 2019-2020 ABC Reads selection The Revolutionary Power of the Lord’s Prayer by Dr. Alice Burnette Greene offers today’s Christian disciples new understanding of the potency and impact of the Lord's Prayer and the transformative effect it can have for sharing God’s love in the world. While many Christians know the popular Scripture known as the Lord's Prayer, the true power of this deceptively simple yet significant model for prayer may often go unrealized. Exploring the lesser known version of the prayer from Luke's Gospel, the book urges readers to do the following: n

Truly mean what is being prayed n Expect what is being prayed to happen n Believe that prayers have power in the name of Jesus n Believe that individuals can make a difference SAVE AN ADDITIONAL 15% OFF WHEN YOU ORDER 10 OR MORE COPIES ONLINE! Enter code ABCREADS in the discount box at checkout.
