These cocreation principles facilitate kingdom transformation not only in the communities we work with but also in my own life.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eHsiang-Ning (Dora) Kung, PhD\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAssistant Professor, Dallas International University\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT9] [TOC]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory and Acknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures of the Revised Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho Should Use this Manual?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFRAMING THE SEVEN CONVERSATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways toward Heaven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the Arts from All the World for All of God’s Purposes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Creation to New Creation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoundations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJesus’s Incarnation as Our Model\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree Approaches to Arts in Mission\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEthnodoxology\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimate Motivations: New Creation and its Distortions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreparing for Conversations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     Creating Local Arts Together: Idealized\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     Creating Local Arts Together: Real Life\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    A CLAT Story: Songwriting in a Multicultural Community\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    How to Learn CLAT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    Conversation Partners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    How to Apply CLAT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting (and sometimes ending) Small\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome Advice and Encouragement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONVERSATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConversation 1: Meet a Community and its Arts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConversation 2: Specify Kingdom Goals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConversation 3: Connect Genres to Goals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConversation 4: Analyze Genres and Events\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e    \u003c\/strong\u003e4A: Look through Seven Basic Lenses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e   \u003c\/strong\u003e 4B: Identify Artistic Domain Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e    \u003c\/strong\u003e4C: Discover Deeper Community Connections\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    4D: Encourage Churches to Integrate Artistry More Holistically\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConversation 5:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eSpark Creativity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConversation 6\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Improve Results\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConversation 7: Celebrate and Integrate for Continuity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSING MATTER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosing 1: Quick Reference\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosing 2: Sample Community Arts Profile (CAP) Outline\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosing 3: Global Ethnodoxology Network’s Core Values\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosing 4: Index of Artistic Domain Research Activities\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosing 5: Index of Sample Sparking Activities\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/TOC]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Carey Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46206161256707,"sku":"9781645085768","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook (ePub)","offer_id":46206161223939,"sku":"9781645085782","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PDF Companion","offer_id":46292237320451,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/5615\/1158\/files\/RevisedCLATManual_CVR-Front.jpg?v=1733517149"},{"product_id":"reading-james-missiologically","title":"Reading James Missiologically","description":"\u003cp\u003e[DESCRIPTION]\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat can James teach us about mission?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile books on a New Testament theology of mission abound, most of them focus only on certain tried-and-true books and passages while often ignoring the contribution of the General Epistles.

I love Smither, Udall, and Urga’s impulse to read Scripture closely, do careful biblical theological work, and to recognize the missional threads woven throughout while drawing out missiological applications in parts of Scripture not often mined for such gold. This volume looks at James in just such a way and it engages in some of the most important missiological questions of our day. Driven to the discussion of integral mission or proclamation priority by James’s desire to hold faith and work together, various conclusions in this volume are unavoidably controversial. Thus, readers will doubtless walk away with different points of tension depending upon their position on the overall missiological discussion. However, the conversation is important, and the contribution of James cannot be ignored.

He does this through a collection of honest and vulnerable reflections on God’s work through his own experiences in childhood and marriage, parenthood and work, mission and ministry, in both successes and failures. In the end, the reader finds that \u003cem\u003eLove Child\u003c\/em\u003e is both a description and a command—a reminder of who we are (loved by God), and who we are called to be: children of a God who sends us to love.

Like Geoff, I honor the past, but with him I am convinced that much has to change in our structures, our programs, our language, and what we believe about ourselves if we are to see followers of Jesus fully embrace their created purpose. Made to Love will help you reflect on these things and hopefully give you courage and the heart of love needed to make seismic shifts in your life and the world around you. This book is not for those who are content with where they are and believe we are living up to our potential as the body of Christ.

That sense of glory being raw, heavy, and redemptive—not shiny or manageable—felt so honest. It reminded me of those moments in my own life when God’s presence wasn’t flashy but deeply comforting in the most challenging times. The reflections on Werner’s German roots and the trauma passed down through generations also really struck me. Asking tough questions about complicity and violence isn’t easy, but it is necessary. The vulnerability in those stories made the call to peace in Ephesians 2 feel even more urgent and real. What I love most is how the book doesn’t shy away from the messiness of life or faith. It’s not about quick fixes or feel-good answers—it’s about walking the hard road with Jesus toward a unity that can transform us and the world. This feels like such an important message for our time.

At its core, leadership is about recognizing and fostering the glory that God has placed in you and in those you lead. No one begins their leadership journey with all the necessary skills and dispositions, but it is possible to learn them.

One statement made by the Commanding Officer in his address to the class was: “Ninety percent of the situations you face, you will not have trained for.” The CO’s statement implied, “We train you in such a way that, whatever you face, you will be ready to handle it.” This is what comes to mind as I interact with the principles and process found in Soul Tending. They provide a framework for thriving amid pain and chaos—both as an individual and in community.

He stresses that a well-rounded personal development plan helps global workers thrive. But what makes this book different is it also considers the value of community at the same time. Tanner's emphasis on “whole-souled” service does not stand alone. That, along with a growing self-awareness, develops more proactive and less reactive leaders. Tanner encourages readers to lead with a towel over their shoulder. He challenges us to truly see one another which promotes a flourishing community.

He offers helpful tools and strategies for regularly assessing how fit our souls are—spiritually, physically, cognitively, emotionally and relationally—and for moving toward flourishing in each of these areas for the glory of God and the good of the church, without becoming self-obsessed. He also provides many real-world examples from his extensive experience as a leader, spiritual director, and mission strategist that help guide us down the path to joyful, integrated service.

Through real-life illustrations, interactive activities, and case studies, readers will discover how they can also read and interpret God’s word in their own cultures. This book will challenge your assumptions about the interpretive task, encouraging and equipping you to rethink how the Bible can be understood across every people group in various cross-cultural, multicultural, and multigenerational contexts. \u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z04Isbjc9-Y?si=Ypp5w9WQK9N6DO-j\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e [\/DESCRIPTION] [SUBTITLE]Reading the Bible \u003cem\u003eWith\u003c\/em\u003e All the World Using Ethnohermeneutics\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e[\/SUBTITLE][CREDIT] Larry W.

Beyond being an important resource for how ethnohermeneutics has evolved and should be applied, The Bible in Culture will expand your appreciation and insight into how the global church can and should faithfully contribute to a fuller understanding of God and his word.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eLyndell Campbell-Réquia\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProfessor, Seminário Teológico Batista do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT3] [ENDORSEMENT4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eLarry Caldwell’s The Bible in Culture is a compelling and much-needed contribution to the global conversation on biblical interpretation. With theological clarity and missiological insight, Caldwell reminds us that every culture possesses the God-given capacity to hear, understand, and interpret the Scriptures meaningfully within its cognitive environment. He skillfully holds the tension between the historical-grammatical method and the contextual realities of diverse interpretive communities, offering a hermeneutic that is both faithful and globally resonant. This book will challenge and inspire Bible students, missionaries, and theologians to practice “hermeneutical hospitality” when engaging different peoples and to read the Bible with—not just to—the world. The Bible in Culture is essential reading for anyone serious about making disciples among the nations.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eMichael T.

It aims to help Christ-followers become better disciples and more effective disciple-makers as they engage in ethnohermeneutics in any context: monocultural, cross-cultural, multicultural, and multigenerational. Caldwell clearly demonstrates how the global body of Christ will grow stronger, healthier, and more fruitful if each church, in its own “cognitive environment,” equally participates in Bible interpretation with the rest of the world. In that way Bible interpretation becomes a “glocal” undertaking that benefits all. I highly encourage everyone doing ministry with peoples different from themselves to read this book and apply its message.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eRey Corpuz, MDiv\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSenior Pastor, Every Nation Church Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT5] [ENDORSEMENT6]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWide-ranging, insightful, and provocative, Caldwell’s proffer of ethnohermeneutics is not simply about the need to communicate the gospel in the world’s cultures. It also facilitates its vernacular discovery and deepening. Drawing from hermeneutical inputs from the Global South and highlighting related case studies, he decontextualizes colonial hermeneutics and reconfigures ways of moving forward gospel inculturation for churches and cultures throughout the globe. Even if you do not agree with aspects of his hermeneutical proposals, you will surely benefit from the missiological take on intercultural biblical hermeneutics this book provides, as God’s church journeys on the way to new creation.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eTimoteo D.

He introduces ethnohermeneutics—local, culturally rooted interpretive processes that make the Bible accessible to all the world. Drawing from his journey as a young Bible teacher in the Philippines, where Western methods fell short, Caldwell explores the interpretive systems of the Jewish tradition, Jesus, and Paul, and the grammatical-historical approach. Recognizing the controversial nature of this topic, Caldwell addresses potential concerns and provides clear safeguards to ensure theological integrity.

That fine wine is now ready to whet the palates of people groups everywhere for their journey of “tasting and seeing” that the Lord is good, and that this good Lord has revealed himself in culturally relevant and salvifically sufficient ways through his written word (Scripture) which reveals the living Word (Jesus, the Son of God) through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. Working within what one might describe as a “centered-set hermeneutic,” Larry’s ethnohermeneutics provides a framework for the faithful reading of the written word in differing cultural contexts that produces faithful “incarnations” of the living Word through whom the world can “taste and see” God in his goodness.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eRalph J.

Drawing from his extensive global experience, including impactful work in China, Dr. Jayakaran presents a compelling case for child empowerment and meaningful participation.What makes this book exceptional is its blend of deep insight and hands-on tools. Through real-life examples and participatory methods like Holistic Worldview Analysis, Dr. Jayakaran shows how to truly listen to children and integrate their perspectives into community development. His holistic approach—addressing emotional, physical, and societal dimensions—makes this book essential reading for anyone working with or for children.

However, when it comes to inviting children into deeper participation, truly listening to their voices, inviting them to shape programs, and involving them in decision-making, there are far too few examples of good practice. Most of us have a lot to learn to do better at working with children.Ravi Jayakaran’s book is therefore an important one, and it stands out as a highly practical toolkit.

The book explores new ways of using old paradigms and considers emerging fields not fully explored missiologically, such as AI, gaming, and even outer space!

The topics introduced are relevant to mission practitioners, mission mobilizers, and those who teach and study missiology. My endorsement goes beyond the discussions this compendium engages. Mission practice and theory require a creative mindset—an ability to engage with new frontiers we have not yet considered.

The 2025 EMS Compendium, New Frontiers in Missiology, is a passport to the next seventy-five years. Its scope ranges from envisioning a truly global future for missiology to exploring the possibilities of outer space. The next frontier of mission may be space, as humans get ready to colonize the Moon and Mars. One contributor argues that the next wave of mission will be female-led, as women already are the largest segment of the Great Commission taskforce. This book offers insights on mobilizing GenZ missionaries and discipling diaspora communities in major urban centers. It also provides a powerful discussion of Islamic folk religion. Finally, a brilliant article by Anthony Casey challenges upcoming third- and fourth-generation missiologists to study urban anthropology and sociology to understand and disciple the multitudes of displaced people groups in the world’s largest cities.

Sadly, these texts, and especially Revelation, have frequently not been read with this missional purpose in mind, leading to conclusions that are often at odds with the mission of God in the world.

In this book, a fine group of international scholars helps us see the missional orientation of the book of Revelation. Revelation perhaps contains the richest theology of any New Testament book and has mission at the core of its message.

Helpfully, the cure for such maladies lies right in this volume’s title. Reading Revelation Missiologically (another formidable volume in a landmark series) unveils one of the most mysterious books in Christian Scripture by inviting us to place the book within the context of God’s unfolding mission to reconcile the whole cosmos to himself. The authors expertly unpack the final words of the Bible, examining what mission means in Revelation, how it functions in the book, and how it forms the church to understand itself and its work in the world. This volume belongs on the shelves of missiologists, practical theologians, and pastors alike. Anyone who wants to better understand why God sent this Revelation to his beloved churches will be greatly edified by Reading Revelation Missiologically.

For too long, Revelation has been marginalized by both scholars and church practitioners, often dismissed for its dense symbolism and apocalyptic imagery. Yet in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and amid ongoing global disruption, apocalyptic language has resurfaced as a vital existential discourse that offers not only hope but also profound insight into what it means to be human in a world marked by uncertainty and upheaval.In this context, an evangelical missiological reading of Revelation is both urgent and indispensable. This volume boldly reclaims Revelation’s theological and missional dimensions, unveiling a compelling portrait of a missionary God actively engaged in history’s unfolding drama. It is a significant, courageous, and necessary work—one that should command the attention of biblical scholars, theologians, missiologists, and mission practitioners alike.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eChammah J.

En su día a día, Jesús siempre veía a las personas y este es uno de los rasgos que he observado en Todd: su capacidad, como la de Jesús, de ver a las personas y atenderlas adecuadamente, en un mundo ajetreado y roto.
