This volume, originally published in 1998, edited by Paul A. Crow, Jr. and James O. Duke, includes the report of the Commission on Theology of the Council on Christian Unity that seeks to answer the most basic and all-embracing question facing the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) today: "What do Disciples think it means to be church?" The beauty of "church" as experienced among the Disciples of Christ is that doing theology is not the domain solely of a "theology commission" but involves the whole church in all its expressions. That is why the reissue of this small volume becomes important to encourage all Disciples, clergy and laity alike, to wrestle with the basic questions raised in the Commission's report.

Many people feel lost when trying to read the Bible. They may be familiar with Bible stories like Adam and Eve, Noah and the ark, David and Goliath, or Mary and Jesus, but they have no sense of how these stories are connected to a larger plot. The Bible's Plot is an overview of the Bible showing how individual Bible texts (including laws, psalms, prophecies, and letters) fit into a larger plot that, in turn, shapes the meaning of the individual stories. Along the way the book traces ten recurring plot-patterns that thread their way through the entire Bible, revealing patterns of God's work in our lives today.

The Divine Assignment: The Missiology of Wendell Clay Somerville is an analysis of the life, work, philosophy, and theology of Wendell Somerville. Somerville, an African American who made a substantial impact during a time of racial tension in the United States, led the work of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention for over fifty years and strove for a great global missions ministry. Learn and be enlightened as author and Executive Secretary-Treasurer for Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, David Emmanuel Goatley, takes you into the insights Wendell Somerville had about the missional church, his understanding of the missional life, and his missional strategy for the world. Read about the changing nature of global mission theory and practice from the beginning of WWII to the twenty-first century. "Through winnowing the sermons and reports of his venerable predecessor at the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, David Emmanuel Gostley offers a remarkable tribute to the missiology of Wendell Clay Somerville. Faithful in his interpretation and execution of the Great Commission, Somerville had global sensitivities that transcended any parochial understanding of the impact of the Black Church. Indeed, he believed God had entrusted the "Divine Assignment" (the privilege of proclaiming and living the Gospel for the whole world) to these who knew both oppression and the transforming power of Jesus Christ. The enduring witness and reach of the convention he served so long and so well gives testimony to his focused theology and implementation of mission. Goatley rightly discerns that there is great wisdom to be gleaned from his forebear and, in humility and appreciation, commends his prophetic missional practice." -Molly T. Marshall, Ph.D., President and Professor of Theology and Spiritual Formation, Central Baptist Theological Seminary, Shawnee Kansas

Although the minor prophets are most closely associated with issues of social justice, Charles Aaron demonstrates that they address many kinds of issues facing today's Christians, including modern-day idolatry, pastoral care, intercession, evangelism, and christology. For each of these three prophets, Aaron provides a brief introduction designed to help the preacher get into the books quickly. He explores selected texts, providing a detailed exegesis and discussion of the problems and possibilities in preaching from the text, the use of metaphors by the prophets, and how the final redaction of the books influence our theology and preaching. For each text discussed Aaron offers at least two sermons, one preached by Aaron and the other or others from pastors and professors from the United States and Canada. Contributors are Timothy K. Bruster, Page L. D. Creach, Ann I. Hoch, Virgil P. Howard, David Schnasa Jacobsen, Alyce M. McKenzie, A. Carter Shelley, and William C. Turner.
