With the term the priesthood of all believers, Martin Luther led a 16th century revolution that, among other things, reshaped the understanding of our political responsibilities. Likewise, in the 21st century, the term redemptive change agent offers a refreshed vision for Christian discipleship that can help societies experience the renewing potential and power of the gospel. This book not only introduces the idea of the redemptive change agent, but also their attributes and core practices, as well as the processes by which they are developed, the strategies they employ, and the risks they face. Case studies of notable redemptive change agents, including William Wilberforce, Charles Colson, and James Yen, bring the concept to life.

The authors skilfully recount the inspiring stories of several ‘ordinary’ but remarkable persons who have been called – and who faithfully obeyed the calling! – to make a signifi cant diff erence by being a blessing to many people, transforming communities and erecting hopeful signs of the coming of God’s kingdom. What they achieved is indeed remarkable, but they all are quick to testify: it is not us, but rather the hand of God using us as building bricks. The book is well written, captivating and intended for a broad readership. This is indeed a seminal book, making a great contribution to the kingdom of God in South Africa, Africa and further abroad.

This dissertation offers a theory of a solution to the problem of lost meaning in life due to regrettable, past events. Each of us wishes for a meaningful life, but each of us, too, is vulnerable to threats to the meaning in life. The dissertation argues that a phenomenon called redemption can restore lost meaningfulness, and increase the value of our lives, overall. The first step in the argument is to demonstrate the need for a new model of redemption. The next step is to argue that redemption is a matter of transforming the meaning of events in our lives from bad to good in a thick, eudaimonistic sense related to a person's well-being. Finally, I show that this transformation not only increases a person's well-being but, more importantly, changes the relationship a person has with his past; By satisfying conditions for meaningfulness—a special value a life can have, distinct from its moral goodness or happiness—redemption renders the past more meaningful that it would have otherwise been. Because of this, redemption can solve the problem articulated in the beginning of the dissertation—the problem of lost meaning in life due to bad, past events.

The primary aim of this book is to explore the contradiction between widely shared beliefs in the USA about racial inclusiveness and equal opportunity for all and the fact that most churches are racially homogeneous and do not include people with disabilities. To address the problem Mary McClintock Fulkerson explores the practices of an interracial church (United Methodist) that includes people with disabilities. The analysis focuses on those activities which create opportunities for people to experience those who are `different' as equal in ways that diminish both obliviousness to the other and fear of the other. In contrast with theology's typical focus on the beliefs of Christians, this project offers a theory of practices and place that foregrounds the instinctual reactions and communications that shape all groups. The effect is to broaden the academic field of theology through the benefits of ethnographic research and postmodern place theory.
