Christ And Covenant In Global Politics
$29.99A New Perspective for Biblical Justice in International Relations
Practicing a Christian vision of justice as a citizen in one’s own country is difficult enough. Add on the challenge of establishing and living out a Christian ethic among states, where there may be few established norms and shared values, and you have the gargantuan task of doing international relations.
Does Christianity have anything to say about global justice for modern nation-states? Can we look to the biblical vision for help with the complex problems of a globalized world? Robert Joustra answers with a resounding yes.
Christ and Covenant in Global Politics casts a compelling vision for a Christian approach to international relations that seeks to transform global politics from systems driven by fear to covenantal global community based in shared loves, drawing on Augustine’s understanding of rightly ordered loves and a contemporary Christian notion of covenantal pluralism. This groundbreaking textbook is designed for professors and students of international relations, offering a unique, faith-driven approach to global politics.
In Christ and Covenant in Global Politics, Joustra
*introduces international relations through a distinctly Christian lens;
*demonstrates how the Christian worldview can positively shape international politics;
*equips students to thoughtfully engage with pluralism and multiculturalism in international politics; and
*moves beyond discussions of biblical justice within states toward discussions of biblical justice between and among states.
Christ and Covenant in Global Politics is a first-of-its-kind work that provides a comprehensive introduction to the state of international relations theory today as well as a constructive account of a truly Christian vision for global politics. Joustra provides a systematic treatment of introductory political theology of world politics, then applies that foundation to key issues in the international system: diplomacy, war, political economy, and climate. Ideal for the undergraduate level, this book is a gift to those who to want to learn to love their neighbor on the global stage.

Unseen Existences : Of Heaven, Earth, And The Divine Mystery In All Things
$24.99Heaven: Why It Matters Here and Now
Have we forgotten heaven?
Bestselling author and pastor Brian Zahnd invites us to remember heaven, to experience and embrace the divine mystery of the spiritual realm in this lifetime. This slow and steady progression of a deeper Christian faith that draws us nearer to God-a “pilgrimage of the soul”-fosters in us a love for both the heavenly and the earthly.
For too long, the conversation about heaven has been caught between two extremes. On one hand, there is the shallow “escapist” theology that reduces salvation to a reservation for the afterlife, unconcerned with God’s good earth or issues of justice in the world.
On the other hand, many of us have overcorrected, hyperfocusing on the here and now and losing sight of the spiritual reality beyond-a fatal mistake if our Christianity is to have a compelling message in the twenty-first century. Our faith must once again speak confidently and humbly about the reality of the spiritual world-the reality of unseen existences.
In Unseen Existences, you’ll find
a fresh way of looking at heaven that pushes back against extremes,
a vision for life as a pilgrimage to our true home in heaven and union with God, and
encouragement to persevere through the injustices of this world with hope.
Unseen Existences will help you renew your faith, expand your perspective, and re-embrace the divine mystery of heaven. Though life can be uncertain and unjust, our pilgrimage is preparing us for the world to come, where we will see Christ face-to-face. With the company of our Helper, Advocate, and Comforter, we press on, trusting he will lead us home.

God And Molecules
$29.99God’s Providential Work in Creation Before Life Began
God has been present and active in creation from the moment he created it ex nihilo. Few Christians would question this claim, but its implications for ongoing theology and science dialogues have not been fully explored.
In this pathbreaking and field-advancing work, Ross Hastings brings his expertise in both scientific and theological disciplines to bear on the topic of divine providence in chemical evolution.
Based on the latest research in the developing field of chemical evolution and the work of theological giants such as Karl Barth, Hastings shows how God may have been providentially and non-competitively at work in the process by which simple prebiotic molecules gave rise to the complex molecules in the first living organisms.
In God and Molecules, Hastings:
*provides cutting-edge theological engagement with the developing scientific field of chemical evolution,
*advances the discussion in theology and science with this new integrative work, and
*offers a holistic alternative for thinking about chemical evolution that overcomes the binary of theology versus science.
God and Molecules pushes toward new frontiers in theology and science and casts a compelling, integrative, and ultimately healing vision for how God has been lovingly involved in the developmental process of the earliest life on earth.

Less stress, conflict, and separation, and more love, peace, and connection. And who doesn’t want that?

How to identify the obstacles keeping you from being set apart for God The practical tools you need to cultivate a holy, different, and transformed life How to offer your whole life to God, instead of just parts of it How to faithfully walk out who God already declares you to be It may feel like holiness doesn’t come naturally to you, but it comes naturally to God.
