An international cast of theologians come together in this volume to offer essays in tribute to the late Stanley J. Grenz, one of the leading theologians of his generation. Accordingly, the volume includes timely explorations in some of the most exciting areas in contemporary theology. It is only fitting that these very explorations revolve around the key motifs of Grenz's theology (Trinity, community, eschatology) and the key sources from which he drew for theology's construction (Scripture, tradition, culture). While engaging key features seen in Grenz's work, some of the essays here interact with Grenz's own writings, reflecting on his theological journey and his contributions to evangelical theology. In these ways, this volume highlights the kind of evangelical theology that so many have experienced in recent years and of which Stan Grenz was a leading proponent. Revisioning, Renewing, Rediscovering the Triune Center, then, makes a significant contribution to discussions in contemporary theology while itself setting out to honor the life and work of an eminent theologian who did so much for evangelical theology.

After the birth of the Protestant ecumenical movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and following the first great wave of universal Christian ecumenism in the 1960s and 1970s after the Second Vatican Council, prominent theologians of nearly every ecclesial tradition charted new territory in the last decades of the twentieth century. They crossed boundaries within their own ecclesial traditions and built bridges to other Christian churches--churches that were once excluded from fellowship. In the development of these new programs of ecumenical theology, the theologians redefined their own confessional identities and, in many cases, crossed the liberal-conservative divide within their own traditions. This volume introduces this fascinating dynamic of theological mediation, redefinition, and generosity. It shows how the ecumenical impulses, which were directed outwardly to other traditions, had reflexive effects inwardly. Working in the realms of both historical and systematic theology, the essays in this volume provide a critical analysis of the history of this general theological sentiment and offer an outlook for its future.

Jeremy Farrell, Christ-follower, life and leadership coach and Human Resources professional with the IBM Corporation has written a challenging book that tackles the essence of the balanced life, be it physical, emotional or spiritual Balance. Farrell's experience and conviction about the achievement and sustainability of the balanced and resilient life is clearly communicated in every page. The author also takes one down a road that looks at not only Balance in life, but also putting the right things at the Center, and Aligning that life with its ultimate purpose. Adding to that an element of Accountability which supports transformative change and renewal. Farrell uses practical exercises and personal and anecdotal illustrations to make the journey of reflection, action and further reflection come alive to the reader. The book challenges the reader's perspective on their life, probing to deeper levels of self-analysis and small actions that can form the beginning of significant change. The reader is led to consider dimensions of life as spokes in a wheel. Although one starts by looking at satisfaction with the various main divisions of ones life, such as Health, Wealth, Family, Relationships, Faith, Work and Service, each of these 'spokes' can become smaller wheels in their own right. Consider taking 'Faith' from being a 'spoke' to being a wheel of its own. In the exercise the Faith wheel can be broken into dimensions such as one's Relationship with God, Devotional life, Spiritual disciplines, Giving, Discipleship, Stewardship, Evangelism and Service. In the exercise one rates their satisfaction with each element, and then decides which should receive focus to improve satisfaction by a point or two in order to restore some balance to the Faith aspect of life. When looking at Faith one could also consider the principles of the Ten Commandments as spokes in a wheel of Obedience, or the Beattitudes of the Sermon on the Mount as spokes in a wheel of Compassion, or the Fruits of the Spirit as spokes in a wheel of Transformation. Similarly, the Work dimension of ones life can be broken out into work roles that can be assessed on a satisfaction scale and then areas chosen for priority focus. Dimensions of Work can be one's roles as an Employee, with dimensions such as Relationships, Integrity, Responsibility, Witness, Self-management, Leadership, Communication and Teaming. The reader can assign roles of their own to this based on their circumstances, but then assess and plan and execute. If the reader was to consider the spokes in a wheel of Discipleship, they would probably find the dimensions of Worship, Scriptures, Leadership, Servanthood, Discipling, Mentoring, Teaching, Witnessing, Praying, Ministry, Personal growth, and Personal Holiness, amongst others. The challenge is to look at the Discipleship wheel by rating satisfaction with the aspects listed and determine a course of action to increase satisfaction with dimensions in order to be a more effective and obedient Disciple. The author is keen to point out that Balance, or balancing, is a process - it is never finished. If life were a road, the bumps, corners, wear and tear all take a toll on one's balance. The process described in this book is never-ending, and anyone looking for the silver-bullet, a one-off quick-fix solution will be disappointed, but the sincere seeker of tools and techniques for achieving meaningful change, renewal and resilience will find simple wisdom within this concise gem of a book.

Engaging Deconstructive Theology presents an evangelical approach for theological conversation with postmodern thinkers. Themes are considered from Derrida, Foucault, Mark C. Taylor, Rorty, and Cupitt, developing dialogue from an open-minded evangelical perspective. Ron Michener draws upon insights from radical postmodern thought and seeks to advance an apologetic approach to the Christian faith that acknowledges a mosaic of human sources including experience, literature, and the imagination.
