Refugia Faith: Seeking Hidden Shelters, Ordinary Wonders, and the Healing of the Earth explores how Christian spirituality and practice must adapt to prepare for life on a climate-altered planet. Refugia (reh-FU-jee-ah) is a biological term describing places of shelter where life endures in times of crisis, such as a volcanic eruption, fire, or stressed climate. Ideally, these refugia endure, expand, and connect so that new life emerges. Debra Rienstra applies this concept to human culture and faith, asking, In this era of ecological devastation, how can Christians become people of refugia? How can we find and nurture these refugia, not only in the biomes of the earth, but in our human cultural systems and in our spiritual lives? How can we apply all our love and creativity to this task as never before? Rienstra recounts her own process of reeducation--beginning not as a scientist or an outdoors enthusiast but by examining the wisdom of theologians and philosophers, farmers and nature writers, scientists and activists, and especially people on the margins. By weaving nature writing, personal narrative, and theological reflection, Rienstra grapples honestly with her own fears and longings and points toward a way forward--a way to transform Christian spirituality and practice, become a healer on a damaged earth, and inspire others to do the same. Refugia Faith speaks to people securely within the faith as well as to those on the edge, providing a suitable entry for those who sense that this era of upheaval requires a transformed faith but who don't quite know where to begin.

Celebrated Theologian Offers Wisdom for Civic Engagement Christian citizens have a responsibility to make political and ethical judgments in light of their faith and to participate in the public lives of their communities--from their local neighborhoods to the national scene. But it can be difficult to discern who to vote for, which policies to support, and how to respond to the social and cultural trends of our time. This nonpartisan handbook offers Christians practical guidance for thinking through complicated public issues and faithfully following Jesus as citizens of their countries. The book focuses on enduring Christian commitments that should guide readers in their judgments and encourages legitimate debate among Christians over how to live out core values. The book also includes lists of resources for further reflection in each chapter and "room for debate" questions to consider.

The voices of yesteryear’s scholastics are silenced. Scholastic distinctions discarded. Faith seeking understanding cancelled. This book turns to university professors who brought classical, medieval, Reformation, and Renaissance thought to bear on the teaching of the doctrine of providence at the early New England Colleges. Their ultimate purpose was to exonerate God from the charge that he was the author, even actor, of evil. Their scholastic method drew from a long and surprisingly ecumenical and philosophical enterprise in the history of the church. This book’s aim is to let the scholastic approaches to the mystery of divine providence speak for themselves. Part One introduces the reader to the art of disputation and provides a guided historical-theological tour of scholastic distinctions that were used by doctors of the church to explain issues related to the doctrine of divine providence. Part Two invites the reader to follow the author on his journeys to Harvard, Yale, the College of New Jersey, and the College of Rhode Island, and Providence Plantations’ commencement-day disputations as he engages in Platonic-like dialogues with presidents, rectors, and students of the New England Colleges. While the dialogues are imagined, the characters, times, locations, and quoted texts are real.

Description: In this day of increasing uncertainty and fear, faith in God is needed more than ever before. In addition to its incalculable other benefits, faith in God brings peace, comfort, and overflowing joy to those who put their trust in God. But not any kind of ""faith"" can procure these benefits, only biblical faith can. When understood in its biblical authenticity, and then put into action, faith always leads to triumph in that it enables us to experience what God ordained for us to obtain, perform, and become. In light of this, it is extremely important that we--the people of God--possess a comprehensive, biblically-based, practical tool to aid us in achieving this understanding. Real Faith in Action is that tool! It presents an unconventional, multi-dimensional view of faith, revealing many aspects usually not discussed in other works, through nine principles that are clearly laid out by the Holy Spirit in what is unquestionably the most comprehensive reporting of the working of faith in all of Scripture--the roll call of faith in Hebrews 11. The principles are thus illustrated through the real life experiences of fellow humans who dared to believe God for the impossible. Accordingly, the book goes beyond explaining faith to demonstrating faith. It is designed to captivate and draw the reader into the world of the faith heroes of the past, thus inspiring him or her to do likewise. Furthermore, in that real life experiences are discussed, any thought of being incapable of doing the same should be vanquished, knowing that others succeeded in their accomplishments by utilizing the same faith to which we also have access. Endorsements: ""Inspiring, informative, instructive, and pastoral are just a few words that describe Real Faith in Action. This body of work will prove to be an invaluable resource in the hands of believers, because the desired effect is to stir up bold faith in us that will enable us to trust God for all of His promises. For his scholarly work and contribution to the cause of Christ, I am godly proud of Pastor Hazell. I am also confident that readers will give thanks to God for him for being obedient and diligent in doing what the Holy Spirit inspired him to do in making this book available to us."" --Dr. Roderick Caesar, Bishop of Bethel Gospel Tabernacle Fellowship International ""This guide to faith is a gift to our spiritual disciplines, demonstrating anew the excellence of theological reflection, Biblical interpretation, and pastoral sensitivity and care that the author showed in his years of study at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. As readers, we will surely find this book helpful in discerning milestones on our own pilgrimage of faith--and as we get closer to the Heavenly Jerusalem, we are likely to discover that we are gaining a new friend in Curl Oral Hazell, as he accompanies us along the way."" --Richard E. Sturm, Ph.D., Professor and Director, NBTS, New York Program ""The Reverend Curl Oral Hazell has written a book that will catch the attention and imagination of pastors, preachers, and students of the Bible. Hazell uses the men and women of faith found in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews as models of principles that can nurture every person's faith. His interpretation of their lives is pastoral and practical, intimate and inspiring, loving and loyal to the intent of the author of the Letter to the Hebrews. Faith, for Hazell, is both an act of belief and a deep relationship of trust in the God who created us and will never abandon us. The price of the book is rewarded in every chapter, but especially in the one that calls us to exercise faith that is 'ridiculous'--a faith that is bold, foolish, and radical. It is the kind of faith that drew Abraham out of his comfort zone and all of us out of armchair religion into one that demands our all. I commend Real Faith in Action as an aid for every spiritual pilgrim looking for direction, insight, and inspiration along the way."" --The R
