I’m proud to introduce our new catalogue.

Writing just days after Wolfhart Pannenberg

has passed away, it is sobering to think how

important good, clear and challenging theology is

for today’s church and world. Pannenberg was an

exceptional theologian who gave us a clear lead,

demonstrating that our theology should be public,

Christ-centred and always doxological.

This year’s catalogue shows our continuing

commitment to both the church and the

academy. Here is a list of titles whose foundation

is thorough research and rigour and whose

purpose is to see people and church

communities developing and being transformed

in their thinking, mission and personal lives.

Welcome, then, to our catalogue for 2015. I

trust you will fi nd it helpful in your ministry and

academic pursuit.

Every blessing

Mike Parsons

PATERNOSTER BOOKS – AVAILABLE FEBRUARY 2015

SUMMARYJesus and the New Testament writers use their Scriptures in ways that may

seem foreign to those who use those same Scriptures today.

Contents: Larry Hurtado, ‘Core OT texts and their Christological Interpretation’; Ian Malcolm & Matthew Malcolm, ‘All the Scriptures’; Roland Deines, ‘Scripture and Jesus’; Donald West, ‘Acts 4 and Prayer’; Ben Sutton, ‘Acts 10 and Peter’; Mark Seifrid, ‘Scripture and Paul’; Lionel Windsor, ‘Seed, Many, One in Galatians’; Martin Foord, ‘Psalm 68 in Ephesians’; Mark Keown, ‘Scripture in Philippians’; Allan Chapple, ‘Scripture and 1 Peter’; Matthew Malcolm, ‘Triadic Figures in Hebrews’; Rory Shiner, ‘Reading the New Testament from the Outside.’

COMMENDATIONS‘This collection of essays brings together leading scholars from around the world

to explore how the New Testament authors use the Old Testament to express the

identity of Jesus Christ. The result is a penetrating insight into how the fi rst Christians

expressed their faith in an intertextual dialogue with the Old Testament to profess

and promote faith in Jesus as Messiah and Lord. Taken together, the various studies

explain what it means to say that the things pertaining to Jesus happened ‘according

to the scriptures’. A fi rst-class study for anyone desiring a deeper grasp of biblical

exegesis and early Christology.’

Michael Bird, Ridley College, Australia

‘The talented authors of this volume present fresh and stimulating perspectives on the

perennial challenge of the use of the OT in the NT. They employ insights from cognate

studies, particularly linguistics, cultural memory, and identity, examining test cases

from different parts of the NT canon, and illustrating the early church’s re-appropriation

of the texts. There is a feast of good things here that demonstrates how productive

and helpful believing scholarship can be. This deserves a wide readership.’

Donald A. Hagner, Professor Emeritus of New Testament, Fuller

Theological Seminary, USA

SUMMARYThe Trinitarian resurgence has been celebrated by the majority of recent

theologians and has impacted nearly every area of modern theology. A

careful rendering of the tradition reaches a high point in Stephen R. Holmes

The Holy Trinity: Understanding God’s Life (Paternoster, 2012). The present

volume contains invited essays covering a range of perspectives and

hosts contributors from around the world who are critically appreciative

of Holmes’s work and its signifi cance for contemporary refl ection on this

doctrine of the Trinity.

COMMENDATIONS‘Jason Sexton and Tom Noble are to be commended for assembling this fi ne

collection of responses to Holmes’s work. Because it focuses on the right issues and

raises the right questions, the present volume is sure to advance the contemporary

discussion.’

Scott R. Swain, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, USA

‘Taking Steve Holmes’s work as a point of departure, this wonderful collection shows

the contours of an emergent Trinitarian conversation. This volume offers an excellent

introduction to the emergent Trinitarian conversations to be found across Protestant

traditions. It is a tribute to the wide scope of Steve Holmes’s work and his ability to

draw so many voices into his own developing theology.’

Lewis Ayres, Professor of Catholic and Historical Theology, Durham

University, UK

KEY FEATURES• Engaging the doctrine on all fronts by leading Trinitarian scholars

• Critical reading of Holmes’s work

• Furthers the Trinitarian conversation

THE AUTHORSimon Perry studied Theology at

Oxford, and completed his PhD

at Cambridge. Having served as

Chaplain to Fitzwilliam College in

Cambridge and as a minister at

Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church,

Simon is now Chaplain at Robinson

College, Cambridge.

SUMMARYAs Christendom’s god continues to dwindle, atheism becomes an

increasingly safe pastime. Now that we live in a post-Christendom era, the

New Atheists boldly oppose the god of a bygone age whilst dutifully serving

the new gods of our own age. These new gods include the insurmountable,

dehumanizing and oppressive political, economic and social forces that

acquire power at the expense of the powerless.

This is a call to both atheist and Christian to be faithful to their atheistic

heritage. At root, this entails radical openness to radical otherness. Exploring

Philosophy and Biblical Studies, Science and Ethics, Politics and Ecology,

Economics and Literature, this book argues that when atheists are truly

atheist and Christians truly Christian, there is true hope for a better world.

The book culminates with a presentation of the Lord’s Prayer as an atheist

manifesto written to incite gracious, pragmatic, effective rebellion against

the gods of the age.

COMMENDATIONS‘Simon Perry’s provocative book throws down the gauntlet to atheists and

believers alike. So-called “new atheists” will welcome his attack on much

traditional Christianity – only to discover themselves exposed as worshippers

of the gods of this world. But Perry’s real challenge is to Christians, who are

forced to look again at their beliefs in the light of a ‘radical atheism’ which fi nds

God in the “other” – a God who subverts all human values. Reading this book

may prove both disturbing and life-changing.’

Morna Hooker, Lady Margaret’s Professor Emerita, University of

Cambridge, Life Fellow of Robinson College

KEY FEATURES• Presents atheism as a Christian virtue (in a way that has not been done

before)

• The post-Christendom God looks uncomfortably different to the God

with which most are comfortable – this is challenging

• The radical re-envisioning of an almighty but non-omnipotent God

challenges us to re-read Scripture

TARGET AUDIENCE• People interested in the atheist–religion debate

• Atheists will fi nd the book supportive of (and constructively challenging

to) their own position, as will Christians

SUMMARYAs part of the After Christendom series, this book explores one of the

key relational dynamics of contemporary society, namely the relationship

between women and men. Women and Men After Christendom is distinct

in exploring these challenges, changes and new opportunities in the light

of the shift from Christendom to post-Christendom.

COMMENDATIONS‘This is an accessible and good read about a complex topic of gender,

Christendom and post-Christendom. For those seeking to explore the history

of gender relationships in the church from the fi rst century this is a good

introduction; it raises many engaging questions and gives an indication of the

issues that arise. It is a worthwhile refl ection for those exploring issues of female

and male and wondering how we have arrived where we are in the Church.’

THE AUTHORJennifer Campbell is a Lecturer in

Christian Doctrine at Westminster

Theological Centre and leader of

Eaglesinfl ight.

Website: eaglesinfl ight.net

SUMMARYThis book seeks to address both the bewilderment and desire for prophetic

visionary leadership in the contemporary church by a discussion of two

signifi cant revivals of the 1600s, the English Nonconformist Quakers and

the Protestant French Huguenots. How can prophetic vision be incorporated

successfully into the ministry of the church? The book argues that the

mission of the apostle, evangelist, pastor and teacher is to be prophetically

inspired and led in every way by the union of the Word, the Person of Jesus

Christ, and the Person of the Holy Spirit.

COMMENDATIONS‘In this thoroughly researched work, Jenny Campbell examines the prophetic

apostolic activity of the beleaguered and persecuted Quaker and Huguenot

communities of the past. Campbell subjects the intriguing and unusual stories

of prophetic activity to a sympathetic Calvinist critique of Word and the Spirit,

drawing out lessons for the church today of what it might mean to have a much

needed prophetic and visionary leadership.’

Lucy Peppiatt, Principal, Westminster Theological Centre

‘I recommend this book and believe it will be an inspiration to others as it was

for me.’

Henning Schikora, YWAM France, Leader of Prophetic School in the

Cévennes

KEY FEATURES• Unique in bringing together the Quaker and Huguenot movements

specifi cally under the category of Christian prophetic leadership

• Unique in examining the Quaker and Huguenot revivals

• Accessible writing by an experienced theologian and leader

• A unique contribution to discussions of prophetic leadership and the

fi ve-fold model of ministry in Ephesians 4

TARGET AUDIENCE• Students of the following courses: History of Theology, Theology of

SUMMARYHow did Christendom affect understandings and misunderstandings of

God’s ways? How do we understand God’s work in and through the Church,

the relation of Church and Government, and what it means, regardless of

the social context of Christendom or not, for the Church to remain faithful

to God?

COMMENDATIONS‘If you would like to refl ect seriously on what it means to believe in God in

our world, and why it might matter, then read this. Deeply Christocentric and

powerfully theological, this book also manages, through story and refl ection, to

present ideas that matter profoundly in ways that are engaging.’

Ruth Gouldbourne, Minister of Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church,

London

‘This is a book born of attention to our context, and the ways in which attention

to the theological tradition can help articulate our contemporary experience.’

Christopher Rowland, University of Oxford

KEY FEATURES• A serious attempt to refl ect on the doctrine of God and the calling of the

Church at this time of social change

• Clear, accessible writing

• Thoughtful and contemporary approach to the tradition

Christendom

• Christian disciples concerned about the calling of the church and the

nature of social discipleship

• People interested in what it means to believe in God

• Those who have already discovered the series

RIGHTS: World

SUMMARYJohn Hick was one of the twentieth century’s most infl uential and creative

philosophers of religion. In this book, Sinkinson charts the development of

Hick’s thinking over his life and how this shaped his engagement with the

world religions. Attention is paid to Hick’s epistemology and how this was

key in his interpretation of both his own religion and the phenomena of

religious pluralism. It can be shown that the development of Hick’s thought

is the legacy of the liberal theology of the Enlightenment. The project

begun by Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Schleiermacher is shown to fi nd

clear expression in the developed theology of religions proposed by Hick.

The book includes a survey of his important books and a transcript of the

last recorded radio dialogue that Hick had with an evangelical theologian.

COMMENDATIONS‘John Hick’s contribution to religious studies has had a profound effect on modern

Western theology. Chris Sinkinson’s thoughtful and robust assessment of Hick’s

work is urgently needed. As we face the continuing challenges of religious

pluralism, this book will enrich and encourage a new generation of orthodox

scholars and believers “to contend for the faith once for all entrusted to the

saints”. Highly recommended.’

Steve Brady, Principal, Moorlands College, Christchurch

KEY FEATURES• Clear writing by a specialist in the subject

• Taking into account a dialogue the author had with John Hick

• A annotated survey of John Hick’s work

• A developed chapter on evangelical theology of religions

THE AUTHORRobert Pope is Reader in Theology

at the University of Wales.

SUMMARYThe book traces and evaluates the development of the doctrine of the

Church and its sacraments throughout the centuries, with emphasis on the

Patristic age, the Reformation and contemporary argument. It gives space to

how, from the sixteenth century, a greater understanding developed of the

church as community as well as recent thought about the sacraments as a

means of building that community. This distinctive work will be foundational

for those seeking new and deeper understanding of the church and its

communal life.

COMMENDATIONS‘This is essential reading for all who wish to understand the nuances of church

history. Dr Pope takes us on a complex and scholarly journey revealing how

Church and sacrament have developed and changed throughout time. He is a

master craftsman, bringing to life and critically engaging with major thinkers

within our Christian heritage.’

Lisa Isherwood, University of Winchester

‘A study of ecclesiology which places key developments in ministry and

sacraments in historical context is badly needed, and warmly to be welcomed.

This study, by a historian who is also at home in systematic theology, is signifi cant

and cannot be ignored.’

David Cornick, General Secretary of Churches Together in England

and a Fellow of Robinson College, Cambridge

KEY FEATURES• Well-known speaker and author

• Clear, readable, thorough exploration of the doctrine

• Argues for historical Christian understanding of the church

SUMMARYIn the style of the author’s bestselling work, No More Law! (Paternoster,

2012) this study on the New Testament letter of James boldly deals with

such topics as the character and life of the contemporary Christian, the

misconception that Paul and James disagreed on the gospel, Christians

overcoming trials by aggressive faith, the nature of tests and trials,

justifi cation by works and its relationship to justifi cation by faith, the power

and misuse of the tongue, and so on. The book is provocative to holy living

in Jesus Christ for today’s church.

COMMENDATIONS‘Good, solid teaching, clarity, helpful and practical exposition. Bruce Atkinson’s

treatment of the Letter of James refl ects the original and expounds it for the

twenty-fi rst-century church. A powerful reminder that our faith in Christ must

be matched by our life in the Spirit!’

SUMMARYJohn wrote Revelation from his prison on Patmos to provide pastoral

ministry to Christians in the Asian churches at a time of impending

persecution. Once we understand John’s symbols and his pastoral concerns

his book proves to be a great message of hope as well as a timely warning

not to be drawn into the worship of antichrist fi gures.

COMMENDATIONS‘Paul Barnett, rightly insisting that Revelation is primarily a pastoral book, draws

out its implications for John’s day and ours. His book is primarily written for church

ministers and study groups. There is a major gap between erudite, academic

commentaries on Revelation and ill-founded, sensationalist, populist writing.

This book will help fi ll that gap.’

Laurie Guy, Adjunct lecturer Carey Baptist College, Auckland, New

Zealand

‘Too few books on Revelation highlight its pastoral purpose, or give Christians

the confi dence to preach its big themes or to study it in groups. Paul Barnett’s

experience as scholar, preacher and pastor ensures that this one will!’

THE AUTHORStuart Murray is a trainer and

consultant working under the

auspices of the Anabaptist Network.

SUMMARYDuring the past century the advance of secularism, the growth of other

religious communities and the decline of the churches have combined to

reduce the size and infl uence of the Christian community. Christians are

now members of a minority religious community in a plural society. How is

this diminished status to be understood in a global and historical context,

within the purposes of God? What institutional changes are required? What

psychological and emotional adjustments are needed in communities that

have a corporate memory of majority status, privilege and infl uence? What

hopes and expectations should be encouraged? What strategies should

be adopted? A Vast Minority explores the challenges and opportunities

we face.

COMMENDATIONS‘Stuart Murray brings a clear and hopeful voice to a contemporary context in

which the church fi nds that it is no longer at the centre of things. Building on

his previous work, this signifi cant new book presents an honest appraisal of

the church’s position and will be helpful for many who are seeking a deeper

understanding of the challenges that face the Christian community and the

new questions that need to be addressed. The Vast Minority is an important

and timely contribution.’

Joy in Luke–Acts

The Intersection of Rhetoric, Narrative, and Emotion

AUTHOR: DAVID H. WENKEL

SUMMARY:The Gospel of Luke has been called the ‘gospel of joy’, and the joy

theme has also been recognized in Acts. This theme, though, has

received relatively little attention in NT scholarship. Joy in Luke–Acts

examines the joy theme from a socio-rhetorical vantage point, showing

that the joy theme empowers the Lukan rhetoric of reversal. The

theme is a primary method in which the narrator seeks to persuade

the reader to enter into the values and beliefs that characterize the

‘upside-down’ world in which YHWH has visited his people in Jesus.

COMMENDATIONS:‘David Wenkel succeeds wonderfully and lucidly in his attempt to unpack the

place of joy within the narrative fabric of Luke–Acts as a whole and coherent

unity. How does this element of joy work to enhance the two-volume text’s

pervasive theme of reversal? His mastery of secondary sources and careful

exegesis of the text answer the question, and constitutes a showcase for

how to understand any given element, in this case the pervasive joy factor,

within the totality of its narrative context.’

THE AUTHORPeter J. Morden is Vice-Principal of Spurgeon’s College,

London.

SUMMARY:This is a major biography of Baptist minister, theologian and missionary

statesman Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) to mark the bicentenary of

his death (2015). Fuller was a hugely signifi cant fi gure, one who

continues to cast a long shadow. As the founding secretary of the

Baptist Missionary Society he was instrumental in the rise of the so-

called modern missionary movement and the spread of the gospel

around the world. But he was also an important theologian and

apologist and was key in the revival of eighteenth-century Calvinistic

Baptist life which took place in England at the end of the eighteenth

century. Analysis of his life and ministry sheds signifi cant light on a

crucial period of religious history, and informs current theological and

missiological debates.

COMMENDATIONS:‘Dr Peter Morden has already shown himself to be a reliable guide to the

life and theology of Andrew Fuller. In this further work he extends our

understanding of Fuller as a pivotal fi gure within Baptist life and mission and

establishes himself as one of the leading interpreters of his work.’

THE AUTHORDavid B. McEwan is Director of Research, Senior

Lecturer in Theology, Pastoral Theology and Practice,

Nazarene Theological College, Brisbane and Director of

the Australasian Centre for Wesleyan Research.

SUMMARY:This unique work begins with Wesley’s understanding of the life of

the Triune God as the model for understanding love, holiness and

happiness. These qualities are restored to us in our salvation. Wesley

believed that these are foundational to our discipleship and to our

spiritual formation in Jesus Christ.

COMMENDATIONS:‘The idea that holiness and happiness are closely related may come as a

surprise to those who identify holiness with long-faced morose joy killers.

Yet John Wesley’s view of the Christian life may justly be described as

eudaemonist, in that it sees human happiness as the by-product of a heart

fully devoted to the love of God and neighbour. There have been a number

of attempts to revisit Wesley’s doctrine of sanctifi cation and reconstruct it

along more dynamic, relational lines but most of these attempts have proven

superfi cial. The Life of God in the Soul, on the other hand, provides us with

a serious scholarly treatment of what has been called Wesley’s theology of

“relational holiness”. I recommend it wholeheartedly.’

SUMMARY:There has been a growth of African churches and African-type

Christianity around the world in recent decades. This phenomenal

growth has made it necessary to understand what African Christians

believe. This fascinating book is a study of what African Christians

in Britain believe about the Holy Spirit. This unique study advances

fi ve factors which determine African Pneumatology: the day to day

experience of Africans, their African worldview, the African traditional

concept of God, the Bible and the worldwide Pentecostal movement.

COMMENDATIONS:‘This is an exciting study of the theology of the Holy Spirit among ordinary

African believers in the UK. It provides unique theological insight into one of

the most important transnational movements in Christianity today. Therefore,

it is a must-read text for all students of African theology, pneumatology and

transnational religious movements.’

THE AUTHORLaurence Malcolm Blanchard is Senior Pastor at

Charter Oak Lighthouse, Covina, California.

SUMMARY:Universalism – the idea that in the end all will be saved – is almost as

old as Christian theology itself and has been shrouded in controversy

ever since it made its fi rst appearance in the patristic era. Although

a concerted effort was made by the church to eradicate the notion

along with those who espoused it, universalism has survived and in

recent years has begun to thrive. No longer automatically relegated

to heresy status, the idea of universal salvation has broken the bonds

of doctrinal repression and is now becoming a mainstream doctrinal

alternative. This impressive work surveys and assesses the recent

debate over universal salvation in western theology within the context

of the historic development of the doctrine. Its fi ndings are intriguing

and will furnish critical food for thought for many years to come.

COMMENDATIONS:From the dawn of religion people have been wrestled with the question, “Will

all be saved?” With our growing awareness of the world as a global village,

that question is even more pressing. Despite the plethora of answers, there is

a shortage of guidebooks that give in-depth overview combined with judicious

evaluation of competing claims. Will All Be Saved? meets that need. Against

a background survey of the history of universalism, Dr Blanchard focuses on

Protestant and Catholic thought since 1960. He identifi es approaches that

centre on Christology and those which stress religious pluralism. His work is

a masterful summary of contemporary thought that does not shy away from

critical assessment. Will All Be Saved? is a unique guidebook and reference tool.

THE AUTHORTheodore Zachariades a Greek Cypriot, has been in active

Christian ministry since 1991 in Canada and the USA.

He gained an MDiv and a PhD from Southern Seminary,

Louisville, Kentucky. He and his wife have 4 children.

SUMMARY:This important book reassesses the classic Chalcedonian view of

Jesus, ‘one person, two natures’. It carefully rejects all forms of

kenotic Christology and affi rms that Jesus possessed and used all

the divine attributes, in particular, that of omnipresence, arguing that

evangelical scholars have abandoned this important truth. This has

ramifi cations for our view of the Holy Spirit and of Christ’s presence

with his people. It challenges us to read the Scriptures again and to

live in the presence of Jesus.

COMMENDATIONS:‘In this important study of orthodox Christology, Dr Zachariades develops an

aspect of it that has generally been neglected. How should we understand

the universal presence of the risen, ascended and glorifi ed Christ? Starting

with the controversies of the early church, he takes us through the questions

involved in the discussion and points us to a deeper understanding of how

Christ is both God and man at the same time.’

THE AUTHORRoger Standing is Principal of Spurgeon’s College,

London, UK.

SUMMARY:This unique and challenging exposition of the Forward Movement

situates it as a spontaneous development within the Victorian urban

context of an escalation of poverty, slum housing, drunkenness, bad

sanitation, epidemics of cholera and typhus, unemployment and

social unrest. The movement was never offi cially organized, yet its

infl uence and achievements were vast. The movement attempted

to construct an experiential theology, based on Wesley’s doctrine of

entire sanctifi cation, modifi ed by American ‘Second Blessing’ teaching

and the need for ‘baptism in the Holy Spirit’ for personal holiness.

From this experiential base they desired to engage with contemporary

thought and to work for social and political change. However, this

did not blunt their commitment to either evangelism or their own

ecclesiology, although it did result in openness to innovation in

evangelistic methods, ecumenism and denominational reconstruction.

From this, the church of the twenty-fi rst century might well learn

lessons of social engagement and spiritual insight.

COMMENDATIONS:‘The Forward Movement in Methodism during the last years of the nineteenth

century was an attempt to grapple with the novel problems thrown up by

the great cities of the era. Its central fi gure, Hugh Price Hughes, was a fi ery

orator, rarely out of the national spotlight. Hughes’s newspaper, The Methodist

Times, is the basis of Roger Standing’s fresh analysis of the movement as

evangelical and holistic in its missiology.’

THE AUTHORMary Patton Baker is a Deacon at All Souls Anglican

Church in Wheaton, Il., involved in ministries of teaching,

discipleship, and spiritual formation.

SUMMARY:This wonderful book proposes a theological model for understanding

Eucharistic celebration that demonstrates its centrality to the Christian

believer’s sanctifi cation and spiritual formation. It centres on John

Calvin’s framework for understanding the Lord’s Supper which was

founded upon the believer’s union with Christ, along with the belief

that the Lord’s Supper deepened that union. By bringing Calvin’s

Eucharistic theology into conversation with contemporary speech-

act philosophy, Kevin Vanhoozer’s divine/communicative ontology,

Biblical theology, and historical and liturgical theology, this multi-

disciplinary dissertation provides a biblical and theological foundation

for understanding the role the Eucharist plays in the worship,

sanctifi cation, and formation of the church and her communicants.

COMMENDATIONS:‘Nothing ails the church that Mary Patton Baker’s Participation in Christ can’t

fi x. What the church needs, she argues, is not aspirin, bed-rest or plenty of

fl uid, but rather sustained attention to and participation in the Lord’s Supper,

an embodied dramatic realization of the communicant’s union with Christ.

Baker integrates Calvin’s theology of the Lord’s Supper with my own proposal

about doctrine being direction for the church’s fi tting participation in the drama

of redemption, and makes a compelling case for viewing the Supper itself as

a powerful means of spiritual formation – just the dose of theological good

sense that is needed at present.’

THE AUTHORMartin Foord is an ordained Anglican minister and

teaches Theology in Trinity Theological College, Perth,

Western Australia.

SUMMARY:The Reformers described themselves as ‘evangelical’ because their

theology focused on the evangel, the Gospel. It is surprising how little

research has been done on what the Reformers meant by the word

‘Gospel’. This work examines the Reformation understanding of this

‘Gospel’ in its systematic theological context against the backdrop of

medieval theology. It shows that despite common ground between the

Lutheran and Reformed wings of the Reformation there were subtle

differences that eventually entered their respective confessions.

COMMENDATIONS:‘The Gospel lies at the very heart of what Christianity means, and yet

throughout the ages Christians have often disagreed on what precisely the

Gospel is and which aspects of biblical truth lie at its centre. This is a profoundly

practical question because the answer to it will determine how the Bible

is read, preached and applied. In this book, Martin Foord offers a detailed

study of debates during the Reformation in order to lay the groundwork for a

contemporary discussion of this most pressing issue. This is a fi ne, historical-

theological contribution to a most important topic.’

SUMMARY:The book is a collection of essays from the International Conference

of Baptist Studies VI that was held at Southeastern Baptist Theological

Seminary, Wake Forest, North Carolina in July 2012. The topic of

Baptist Identity remains important for Baptists across the globe.

This collection of essays reveals the richness and the diversity of

conceptions about Baptist identity that have been shared by and

about Baptists. The essays, written by an international set of authors,

examine issues of Baptist origins and questions of identity up to the

present. Written with attention to historical context and grounded in

primary source research, the essays will contribute to current and

future debates about Baptist history and identity past and present.

COMMENDATIONS:‘“It’s all in the mind,’’Beatle George Harrison once said. But for Baptists,

mind and deed have shaped perceptions within and without. Mirrors and

Microscopes examines how Baptists from John Smyth and Thomas Helwys

to the present have understood themselves and, conversely, how outsiders

have viewed Baptists. This collection of essays offers helpful and diverse

perspectives of generations of eye-witnesses whose words have collectively

shaped and reshaped the Baptist faith, evoking Thoreau’s observation that,

“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”’

THE AUTHORDavid J. Cohen is Head of Biblical Studies, Lecturer

in Hebrew Bible and Language, Vose Seminary, Perth,

Western Australia.

SUMMARY:This exceptional book explores our understanding of the Psalter as a

book of prayer in the Judeo-Christian tradition. It focuses in original

and helpful ways on the genre of Lament as a text medium through

which personal distress can be engaged with and processed in the

action of prayer, and explores some of the psychodynamic shifts

which can occur for people praying in this way, providing some

actual case examples of the process at work. The author provides a

thorough examination of the lament genre found in the Psalter from

a theological perspective and also offers a practical working model

which could be incorporated into work with people who are suffering

from distress in a variety of forms.

COMMENDATIONS:‘David Cohen has given us a new set of insights about the function of Lament

Psalms in real life; a coherent and brilliantly creative pastoral perspective.

Cohen has opened a wide door into an entirely new world of spiritual vision

and relevance.’
