No one wants to see a church die. And yet, far too many churches are dying. For more than twenty-five years, Dr. Thom Rainer has helped churches grow, reverse the trends of decline, and has autopsied those that have died. From this experience, he has discovered twelve consistent themes among those churches that have died. Yet, it's not gloom and doom because from those twelve themes, lessons on how to keep your church alive have emerged.

Whether your church is vibrant or dying, whether you are a pastor or a church member, Autopsy of a Deceased Church will walk you through the radical paths necessary to keep your church alive to the glory of God and advancement of Christ's Kingdom!

"Media coverage of the Jesus Seminar and a renewed interest in the "quest for the historical Jesus" have occasioned considerable unease among Christians of all traditions. From time to time we see new books and newsmagazine cover stories containing the latest deconstructionist interpretation of what Scripture says about Jesus. The questions at issue are all-important: What can we know about Jesus of Nazareth as he actually was? Is the Christ of faith the same as the man from Galilee? Can we match what we know about him with what we believe about him? Is he the way, the truth, and the life, or is he merely - as many believe today even within the church - a way, a truth, a life?" "Written by leading scholars from around the Anglican Communion, the essays in The Truth about Jesus explore and critique the current "quest for the historical Jesus," reaffirm he traditional biblical teaching about Jesus, and consider the proclamation of his gospel to our pluralistic world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

A Process of Composition and Improvisation 

Using elements of American jazz as her metaphor and process theology as her focus, Pederson orchestrates a unique understanding of God's role in creation. The creative order, she says, is not a fixed and immutable event from the past, but a series of divine improvisations that compose the cosmic composition even as it is played out.

The Names Divine

Harold Bloom has written about religion and the Bible throughout his career, but now, with Jesus and Yahweh, he has written what may well be his most explosive, and important, book yet. There is very little evidence of the historical Jesus-who he was, what he said. As Bloom writes, "There is not a sentence concerning Jesus in the entire New Testament composed by anyone who ever had met the unwilling King of the Jews." And so Bloom has used his unsurpassed skills as a literary critic to examine the character of Jesus, noting the inconsistencies, contradictions, and logical flaws throughout the Gospels. He also examines the character of Yahweh, who he finds has more in common with Mark's Jesus than he does with God the Father of the Christian and later rabbinic Jewish traditions. Bloom further argues that the Hebrew Bible of the Jews and the Christian Old Testament are very different books with very different purposes, political as well as religious. Jesus and Yahwehis a thrilling and mind-opening read. It is paradigm-changing literary criticism that will challenge and illuminate Jews and Christians alike, and is sure to be one of the most discussed, debated, and celebrated books of the year. At a time when religion has come to take center stage in our political arena, Bloom's shocking conclusion, that there is no Judeo-Christian tradition-that the two histories, Gods, and even Bibles, are not compatible-may make readers rethink everything we take for granted about what we believed was a shared heritage.

Letting Go of Your Need for Approval - And Seeing Yourself Through God's Eyes

We all want someone to think we're sensational. We desire to be recognized, to be valued, to be respected. To be loved. Yet this natural yearning too often turns into an idol of one of God's most precious gifts: love itself. If you, like so many of us, spend your time and energy trying to earn someone's approval--at work, home, and church--all the while fearing that, at any moment, the facade will drop and everyone will see your hidden mess . . . then love may have become an idol in your life. In this poignant and hope-filled book, Jennifer Dukes Lee shares her own lifelong journey of learning to rely on the unconditional love of God. She gently invites us to make peace with our imperfections and to stop working overtime for a love that is already ours. Love Idolwill help us dismantle what's separating us from true connection with God and rediscover the astonishing joy of a life full of freedom in Christ.

Exposing the Bible's Texts of Hate to Reveal the God of Love

In the history of the Western World, the Bible has been a perpetual source of inspiration and guidance for countless Christians. However, this Bible has also left a trail of pain. It is undeniable that the Bible is not always used for good. Sometimes the Bible can seem overtly evil. Sometimes its texts are terrible.

Bishop John Shelby Spong boldly approaches those texts that have been used through history to justify the denigration or persecution of others while carrying with them the implied and imposed authority of the claim that they were the "Word of God." As he exposes and challenges what he calls the "terrible texts of the Bible", laying bare the evil done by these texts in the name of God, he also seeks to redeem these texts, hoping to recover their ultimate depth and purpose. Spong looks specifically at texts used to justify homophobia, anti-Semitism, treating women as second-class humans, corporal punishment, and environmental degradation, but he also delivers a new picture of how Christians can use the Bible today. As Spong battles against the way the Bible has been used throughout history, he provides a new framework, introducing people to a proper way to engage this holy book of the Judeo-Christian tradition.
