Christians often assume too sharp a distinction between the Old and New Testaments, argues preacher, author, and teacher J. Ellsworth Kalas. They are too quick to view the Old Testament as a strict book of laws and commandments and the New Testament as a witness to grace. The God of the Old Testament is misperceived as a God of wrath and judgment, while the God of the New Testament is viewed as a God of love and mercy.
In Grace Abounds: God's Abundance against the Fear of Scarcity, Walter Brueggemann explores our human struggle of having a smallness of mind that breeds competition and envy against God’s prompting to move beyond our small selves to trust in God’s ultimate provision and to extend ourselves to others openhandedly. The Walter Brueggemann Library brings together the wide-ranging and enlivening thought of popular biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann over his storied career. Each volume collects previously published work on a biblical theme that has deeply informed Brueggemann’s scholarship, in an accessible digest for readers who want to freshly engage his prophetically minded but approachable writing on the topic. The Bible often associates God’s grace with abundance. While it is sometimes equated with forgiveness, more often grace is described much more broadly in the texts of ancient Israel: as the divine self-giving that stands against various forms of scarcity.We are bombarded daily with the idea that there is not enough of anything—housing, jobs, resources. By contrast, the Bible shows again and again how God meets our needs abundantly but in such a way that unveils our profound ongoing need for God and for one another. The first part of Grace Abounds lays out fundamentals of biblical grace by focusing on some of our most basic needs—to eat, to use land, to find shelter—and four different types of responses from people in Scripture struggling to survive experiences of exile and forced migration. In the second part of the book, Brueggemann advocates for specific biblical practices that are appropriate to the reality and experience of God’s grace and grace-full relationships with fellow creatures: keeping Sabbath, making doxology, bestowing blessing, offering forgiveness, and realizing reconciliation. Questions for reflection are included at the end of each chapter, making this book ideal for individual or group study.
A distinguished thinker ponders the meaning of Wesley's theology. John B. Cobb, Jr., draws on the historical, critical, and literary work that has characterized Wesley studies in recent years, but moves beyond them to propose one way of reconstructing and reappropriating essential elements of Wesley's thought in service of the church's life and mission.
Histories of women and American religion have tended to focus on women's religious activities rather than on women's religious lives. Studies of early American religion and spirituality have usually depended on the journals and sermons of male preachers. In order to understand the religious lives of ordinary Methodist women, Jean Miller Schmidt has looked at their diaries, letters, spiritual autobiographies, and the accounts of their pious lives and holy deaths that appeared as obituaries in publications like the Methodist Magazine. These powerful stories of faith are part of the shared history of Methodist people.

Christians worship a God of grace and peace, but too often the body of Christ is marked by pride, legalism, and divisiveness. The wars of modern-day Christianity are fought through billboards, picket signs, boycotts, blog posts, and hastily-sent tweets. They may be less bloody than the crusades of the past, but the wounds they inflict are severe nonetheless. Combining personal narrative with scholarly insight, Grace & Peace examines the problem of pride and envisions a more humble approach to Christian spirituality. "J.K. Hodge has written a powerful, prophetic book that indicts our spiritual pride and invites us to move from the demonization of difference to the re-humanization of our relationships through the power of humility, inquiry, and Grace. And while we often look for God's grace in pure, 'holy' experiences, Hodge invites us to listen for the quiet voice that becomes audible only in the darkest hour. His book is suffused with a humble authority borne of his clear thought, passionate faith, and personal experience of choosing the way of grace and peace in the midst of darkness." Robert R. Stains, Jr. Senior Vice President for Training Public Conversations Project "The subject of spiritual humility should never be approached by one who does not bear the scars of humbling circumstances. The author of this book not only bears those scars, but has also experienced the Grace to see his way through." Doug Bishop Pastor Ada Bible Church
