Joining Creation’s Praise A Theological Ethic of Creatureliness Brian Brock
In this major statement, Brian Brock shows how confessing that we are creatures deeply reshapes every aspect of Christian thinking and living because we were made to embody Christ’s image in the world—not as dominators but as conduits of divine life.
“Wise, insightful, judicious, faithful, comprehensive, clarifying—these are just a few apt descriptions of Brock’s magisterial Joining Creation’s Praise. This work deserves to be the standard Christian ethics text for the foreseeable future.” — D. Stephen Long, Southern Methodist University “The creativity, breadth, and thoroughness of this study, as well as the grace - fulness of its exposition, will reward those who accept Brock’s challenge to think deeply and live differently in this God-formed world.” —Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School
Brian Brock (PhD, King’s College, London) is chair of moral and practical theology at the University of Aberdeen and president of the Society for the Study of Christian Ethics.

Contesting the Body of Christ Ecclesiology’s Revolutionary Century Myles Werntz Foreword by Ephraim Radner This book engages ecclesiology across the twentieth century as worked out in ecumenical and global context and explores how the four marks of the church— one, holy, catholic, and apostolic—were remade, contested, and reaffirmed in surprising and innovative ways. “This book offers a wise and exciting account of the four marks of the church in a way that offers hope and looks to renewal. It deserves reading and rereading by church people and theologians alike.”— Tom Greggs, Center of Theological Inquiry, Princeton “In Werntz’s reading of twentieth-century ecclesiology, contestation emerges as an unexpected gift of the Spirit. This is theology that bleeds and breathes.” —Chris E. W. Green, Southeastern University; bishop of the Diocese of St. Anthony (CEEC)
