    Making a Welcome combines an engaging personal story with an examination of the meaning and possibilities of hospitality, both as a domestic practice much in need of revival, and as a fundamental Christian orientation, with emotional, intellectual and spiritual implications. Maria Poggi Johnson draws on her knowledge of the Christian tradition, and on two decades of personal experience of trying to welcome well, to consider what happens when we open our homes to others, what is involved in offering a genuine welcome, and how the skills we develop in doing so can shape our relationships with our spouses, with the society around us, with our own beliefs and commitments, and with God. Illustrated by stories drawn from Scripture, literature, film, and from the author's own experience, Making a Welcome challenges readers to discover the life-changing practice of true hospitality, not only in their homes, but in all aspects of their lives

    In troubled times of heightened global tensions and conflict, (un)Common Sounds: Songs of Peace and Reconciliation among Muslims and Christians explores the contribution of music and the performing arts to peacebuilding and interfaith dialogue in interreligious settings. It asks the simple but endlessly complex question: How is music and song used in our faiths and daily lives to foster peace and reconciliation? Focusing on the two largest world religions that together comprise more than 55% of the world''s population, the essays address the complexities of embodied, lived religious traditions by moving across and linking a range of disciplines: ethnomusicology (the intersection of music and culture), peacemaking, Islamic studies, and Christian theology. Based on research in the Middle East, North Africa, and Indonesia, context-specific case studies serve to identify and reflect on the significant roles of music and the performing arts in fostering sustainable peace. (un)Common Sounds investigates the dynamics of peacebuilding and interfaith dialogue as they relate to music''s transformative roles in conflict and post-conflict settings. Classroom tested, (un)Common Sounds also provides discussion questions and projects for each chapter, a companion Web site (www.songsforpeaceproject.org), and an available documentary film to enhance learning in the academy, nongovernmental organizations, and religious groups.""(un)Common Sounds shows how the common sounds between Muslims and Christians have intensified from the clanging of swords to the thunder of bombs. By holding consultations and concerts in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, the authors have shown that when swords are beaten into flutes on their way to becoming plowshares, people''s feelings, thinking, and behavior are changed so that they can hear the still small voice of the God of Abraham and Jesus whom their Scriptures proclaim. Then as friends they can better deal with their differences and the (un) can be removed from ''Common Sounds.''""--J.

    The Hermeneutics of Tradition presents the latest scholarship on tradition as a concept and reality in the development of Christian cultures. One aim is to show that traditions are upheld, communicated, and developed within a recognizable set of interpretive guidelines (or rules) and that analysis of these sets both requires and reveals a ""hermeneutics of tradition."" The work of the authors included here presents the precarious integrity of traditions and the often tenuous hold upon those traditions exercised by the hermeneutics that drive dynamics of preservation and change. As scholars and religious worshippers continue ancient traditions of receiving strangers with generous hospitality, the coherence of tradition serves conversations about where our true differences lie.""There is much to stimulate reflection in this welcome addition to the hermeneutical turn in theological invocations of tradition. Augustine reinterprets Cyprian, Benedict XVI and Luther embody continuity, Evangelicals are cautioned, and MacIntyre is masterfully expounded and trenchantly critiqued. Most valuable is the juxtaposition of affirmations of the necessity and flexibility of theological tradition for creatures ''in the middle'' with constructive exposures of the Christian tradition''s fissures, ruptures, and overlooked wounds.""--Ben Fulford, Lecturer in Systematic Theology, University of Chester, Chester, UK""In an age caught between the two poles, hypertheism and overhumanization, The Hermeneutics of Tradition offers fresh alternatives for negotiating the ambiguities of the texts, rituals, and symbols of the Christian tradition through the tradition. This collection of essays demonstrates that there is no such thing as traditionless existence, which entails being grounded in the certitude and stability of the truth claims and meaning of the Christian tradition while simultaneously being active interpreters toward yet undiscovered answers to old and new questions. A timely book with rich resources for how to think and live the Christian tradition.""--Aristotle Papanikolaou, Professor of Theology, Orthodox Christian Studies Center Theology, New York, NY""In this collection of essays, Craig Hovey and his fellow contributors open up a discussion of fundamental importance. Philosophers, such as Gadamer, MacIntyre, and somewhat earlier, Blondel, recovered the role of tradition in human understanding. These essays explore, in different trajectories, what this can mean for theology. After pursuing confessional and historical trajectories, the role of the liturgy in preserving and refining tradition is discussed. Tradition is restored to the center of Christian hermeneutics, without any disguising of ambivalence and cultural problems raised. This is a hugely important symposium.""--Andrew Louth, Professor emeritus of Patristic and Byzantine Studies, Durham University, Durham, UKCraig Hovey (PhD, Cambridge) is Associate Professor of Religion at Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio. He is the author of numerous books, including Unexpected Jesus: The Gospel as Surprise (2012), Bearing True Witness: Truthfulness as Christian Practice (2011), and Nietzsche and Theology (2008).Cyrus P. Olsen (DPhil, Oxford) is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Scranton in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

    An American ethicist and a South African theologian reflect on their work with wood and how it has helped them find creativity and meaning in experiences of both loss and transformation. Through their friendship, correspondence, and work together they have developed a rich narrative about the way this craftwork has shaped their relationships with family, friends, and their natural environment. Their conversation invites both craftspeople and religious seekers to join them on a spiritual journey toward fresh insight and inspiration.""The title and subtitle are exactly right. This is ''A Conversation about Woodworking and Spirituality'' in which ''sawdust flies in all directions, but the soul also takes wings.'' So, reader, prepare to pause often to reflect on your own life journey as you listen to Everett''s and de Gruchy''s. This is wisdom beautifully communicated. The added poetry, illustrations, and photos only enhance it.""--Larry Rasmussen, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor Emeritus of Social Ethics, Union Theological Seminary, New York City, NY""This absorbing and often moving conversation about friendship, faith, and the woodworker''s craft invites us to explore the inner journeys that accompany the working and shaping of wood. The obvious joy of the authors in their soul-deepening craft will strike an immediate chord with fellow woodworkers--and invite some who have not yet felt the warm texture of newly planed wood grain under their fingers to go out and buy their first tools.""--Peter Storey, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the Practice of Christian Ministry, Duke Divinity School, Durham, NC""In Sawdust and Soul, I felt like I was standing across a workbench from two friends reminiscing, philosophizing, and reflecting about woodworking--the influence it has on their lives and their relationship. The journey I experienced with Bill and John resonates with my own.""--Gregory Paolini, Director of Operations, Gregory Paolini Design LLC, World Class Woodworking, Canton, NCWilliam J. Everett taught Christian ethics in graduate schools for over thirty years before turning to woodworking. In addition to his academic books and articles, he is the author of Red Clay, Blood River, an eco-historical novel, as well as Turnings, a collection of his poetry. He lives in the hardwood forest of western North Carolina with his wife, Sylvia, a liturgical artist in many media.One of South Africa''s most celebrated theologians, John W. de Gruchy is also a woodworker, with pieces in many churches, schools, and homes throughout the country and abroad. Among his recent books are Confessions of a Christian Humanist and Led into Mystery. He and his wife, Isobel, are members of the Volmoed Christian Community near Hermanus, South Africa, where he writes, gives seminars, and does woodworking, while Isobel paints and writes poetry.
