Resisting Structural Evil: Love as Ecological-Economic Vocation, by Cynthia D. Moe-Lobeda. Moe-Lobeda’s Lutheran acknowledgment of the moral ambiguity of all human action does not deter her from calling for an ethic of love that aims at forging just and sustainable relations between humans and the earth. Her argument is presented in a clear, accessible style and is interspersed with compelling stories.
Stations of the Heart: Parting with a Son, by Richard Lischer. In this unflinching memoir of his son’s death, Lischer offers profound theological reflections on baptism, sanctification, and the interplay of faith and doubt.
The Suffering and Victorious Christ: Toward a More Compassionate Christology, by Richard J. Mouw and Douglas A. Sweeney. Two white evangelicals think aloud about the strengths and shortcomings of their Reformational traditions and commend the insights of Asian and African-American Christians into the suffering and sorrows of Christ. The afterword by theologian Willie Jennings is both appreciative and critical, and not to be missed.
