For Everything a Season
by Paul Toews and Kevin Enns-Rempel (2002)
About this book
*For Everything a Season* marks a transition in the organized life of the Mennonite Brethren denomination. Since 1879, the dominant conference structure of the denomination was the General Conference, the bi-national conference that included churches in both the United States and Canada in a variety of joint programs and in a common peoplehood. After 2002, the bi-national conference came to an end. Its ministries, agencies, institutions, and programs were taken over either jointly or separately by the Canadian Mennonite Brethren and the United States Mennonite Brethren conferences. The dissolution of the General Conference as an active entity is an occasion for reflection on its history. This book of collected essays provides such reflection on its origins, some of its important ministries, and its struggles. The varied work and agencies of the conference provide the book's organizing structure.

Logos and existence
Donald R. Ferrell
Logos and Existence explores Paul Tillich's understanding of the nature of theology and philosophy and their relationship to each other. Tillich's claim that theology is existential thinking, whereas philosophy is detached, objective thinking is examined critically and concludes that this fundamental distinction between the two cognitive systems is, in the final analysis, unsustainable, given the classical foundation of Tillich's thought mediated by his deep immersion in the western ontological tradition from Plato to Hegel.
Reinventing Christianity
John Parratt
In Reinventing Christianity, the first comprehensive survey of Christian theology in Africa to appear in English, John Parratt provides a critical yet sympathetic examination of the new ways of doing theology that have recently emerged from within the African church. Follownig an introduction that charts the growth and development of African theology, Parratt examines the differing theological assumptions and methodologies throughout the continent. He also shows how Africans are rethinking the central dogmas of the Christian faith - Scripture, God, christology, the church, and eschatology - and evaluates Africa's political theologies, giving special attention to theological approaches to African socialism and to South African black theology. The final chapter exposes some of the problematic issues that can provide a framework for wider ecumenical theological debate.
Severi Antiiulianistica
edited and translated by A. Sanda
"Severus of Antioch (d. 538) disagreed with Julian, bishop of Halicarnassus, on the question of the corruptibility of Jesus’ body, and thö two engaged in polemical disputes in writing. This volume contains the Syriac version, with Latin translation, of a series of letters between the two men, Severus refutation of Julian’s “Tome,” and the former’s Refutation of Heretical Propositions. The Syriac text is edited from manuscripts at the Vatican Library and the British Museum. Sanda gives an index of authors cited in each work. Along with Sanda’s other editions and translations (also available from Gorgias Press), this volume gives students and scholars a look into the theological sectarianism that affected much of the intellectual and political climate of Late Antiquity. Syriac and Greek scholars interested in patristic translations will also find this work of some interest"--From the publisher's website.
