Standing Under the Cross focuses on Bonhoeffer's rich theological and ethical thinking. It places Bonhoeffer in conversation with a wide range of modern theologians, including Karl Barth, Franz Rosenzweig, Jürgen Moltmann, and James Cone. The book gives particular attention to hermeneutics, the body, and Bonhoeffer's rich reflections on community and discipleship. Mawson attends to the complex ways in which these aspects of Bonhoeffer's thinking work together, and shows how they can assist us in responding to some of the challenges confronting us today.

Based on extensive ethnographic research, this book delves into the thriving industry of religious infrastructure in Romania, where 4,000 Orthodox churches and cathedrals have been built in three decades. Following the construction of the world’s highest Orthodox cathedral in Bucharest, the book brings together sociological and anthropological scholarship on eastern Christianity, secularization, urban change and nationalism. Reading postsocialism through the prism of religious change, the author argues that the emergence of political, entrepreneurial and intellectual figures after 1990 has happened ‘under the sign of the cross’.

As the driving force in early European expansionism, Spain was concerned not only with the political and economic subordination of the New World native but also with the need to possess his soul. In this book, Viviana Díaz Balsera tells the story of this zealous spiritual endeavor during its first one hundred years in Central Mexico and of how it transformed the European self and the indigenous other in ways sometimes unforeseen for both. The Pyramid under the Cross looks at the epic project of Christianization as well as the limits of the Spanish spiritual colonizers' power to accomplish it. The book focuses on activities of Franciscan missionaries who, as the first religious order to arrive, occupied the most important political and social centers in the Valley of Mexico and set the strategies of evangelization that others would follow. One such activity, the Nahua theater of evangelization, is represented as an exemplary case of the inevitable cultural negotiation involved in the missionary process. The author explores not only the imposition of a Eurocentric worldview upon the Nahua but also the hybridization of this view as the spiritual colonizer attempted to encompass a new non-Western constituency and the latter interpreted Christianity according to its own cultural paradigms. The book treats a wide range of texts—the Historia eclesiástica indiana, the Confessionario Mayor, the Coloquios de los Doce, and more—both by renowned Franciscan figures such as Gerónimo de Mendieta, Alonso de Molina, Bernardino de Sahagún, and by Nahua grammarians Antonio Valeriano de Azcapotzalco, Andrés Leonardo de Tlatelolco, and others. Díaz Balsera engages the cultural constraints of all the actors in the episodes she relates in order to show how the exchange between them resulted in the appropriation and/or alteration of the Spanish discourses of spiritual domination—sometimes even in their breakdown—and how it brought about the emergence of Nahua Christian subjects that would never fully leave behind their ancient ways of relating to the gods. The Pyramid under the Cross will be of interest to readers in the areas of Hispanic literatures, history, religion, anthropology, Latin American and cultural studies, and to those working in the field of colonial studies.

Since the first edition of this book was published, I have kept in touch with colleagues and events in Hong Kong over the last eleven years. I was also privileged to participate in the last service in Union Church Hong Kong's old building in 2017. Although for a time it seemed as though progress in the ministry of the church and in the quest for democracy and human rights in Hong Kong was being made, and that the cross that my colleagues had to bear for many years was growing lighter, at the time of writing, the People's Republic of China has quashed all hope for the maintenance of Hong Kong as a free and vibrant city. This turn of events has not only impacted the life of the people of Hong Kong, but has affected the ministry and mission of the church there as well. In order to chronicle this on-going story, besides the corrections made to the text of the first edition, 73 additional pages of text and 70 new photographs have been added to "The Cross of Colonialism: Mission in Hong Kong," which is now published as a volume in its own right. This work was originally six years in the making. It began with an invitation in September 2003 by the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy to participate in a December conference on human rights and to receive an award for my involvement in the democracy and human rights struggle of the Taiwanese people during my missionary days there in the early 1970s. In preparation for this conference, I was asked to write a memoir of my experiences during what had become known as the 'White Terror' period in Taiwan's history. A number of people who read that memoir encouraged me to write about my subsequent experiences in Hong Kong, China, and Indonesia as well. It happened that I was called to minister in those places at critical times in their histories-times of turmoil that proved to be times of testing for the churches there. Thus, the common thread that runs throughout the books-the church under the cross. Although this memoir includes my story, it focuses as well on the wider church I served as my colleagues and the Christians for whom they were responsible struggled to come to terms with the sometimes terrible challenges they faced. My goal in setting down my experiences, observations, and conclusions was to produce an account that was informative, interesting, and inspirational. Even today, I find that many people do not know much about many of the events recorded in this work. My hope is that this account will help fill those gaps. I also hope that readers will not fall asleep while plodding through these pages, but will find this account interesting, stimulating, and at times even humorous. My further hope is that readers will be as inspired as I was when I encountered the courageous Christians described in these pages as they faithfully practiced their faith and prophetically challenged 'the powers.'

We live in a calloused age. * We're angry. Name-calling and scorn spews from our politics. The college campus exists to fester outrage, not foster the intellect. Rather than attempt a civil conversation, we run into our social media bunkers, and lob our incendiary comments and tweets at each other. * We're divided. The nuclear family has blown up. Red state - blue state. The world of Green Book and Hidden Figures seems positively Bronze Age compared to now, yet race relations remain like a faultline ready to crack. * We're emotional trainwrecks. Addiction is laying waste to small-town America. Depression rates are reaching new heights across all age groups. Suicides are skyrocketing among white middle age males. * We're profane and cynical. Do you know what the greatest difference was between the 1976 A Star Is Born with the 2018 remake? Oh, about 300 F-bombs. But the new film got one thing right. We're shallooooooow. * We've kicked God to the curb. We've traded him in for mindfulness training. We've ripped up his sexual boundaries. We've put his people in our crosshairs. If the dogma lies deep in you, beware. * The times we live in are truly toxic. So is there anything that can serve as an antidote to this poison that our culture keeps serving up? Yes, there is. It's found in the title of this book. The world needs for the group of people who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ to begin living under the Cross. * This book is a collection of 42 short devotions - gathered under the headings of each of Jesus' nine Beatitudes - which attempt to wrestle with the implications of what Jesus is asking us when he tells us to "take up our cross daily and follow him". It's a life that demands humility, brokenness, mercy, purity and peacemaking. * This isn't just a radical life. It is an impossible life. I can't live it, unless I take time to meditate over and over again on what Jesus did for me on that cross, then desperately cry out to him to live through me.

One of the most important answers, undoubtedly, is that he does not know what it is to die to himself and to the world. Yet without this, God's love and holiness cannot have their dwelling-place in his heart. He has repented of some sins, but knows not what it is to turn, not only from sin, but from his old nature and self-will. "Yet this is what the Lord Jesus taught. He said to the disciples that if any man would come after Him, he must hate and lose his own life. He taught them to take up the cross. That meant they were to consider their life as sinful and under sentence of death. They must give up themselves, their own will and power, and any goodness of their own. When their Lord had died on the cross, they would learn what it was to die to themselves and the world, and to live their life in the fullness of God. "Let us pray fervently for each other that God may teach us what it is to die with Christ -- a death to ourselves and to the world; a life in Christ Jesus." -Andrew Murray
