Book Review: The Cross and Gendercide

December 12, 2014 by Bob Trube Leave a Comment

The Cross and Gendercide: A Theological Response to Global Violence Against Women and Girls By  Elizabeth Gerhardt My rating:  4 of 5 stars There is a war going on that knows no national borders or physical territories. It is a war that occurs in clinics, ritual ceremonies, sweatshops and brothels, college campuses and religious homes. It is a war against half of the planet's population. It is the war against women.

December 12, 2013 by Tom Grosh IV Leave a Comment

You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God!. -- Psalm 40:17 In Part 1 I asked the question: How do you “read” and/or pray a Psalm as an individual follower of Christ (possibly as a part of your daily practice) AND as a member of a particular Christian tradition (in corporate and/or daily practice)? As an extension of this consideration  I offered the "simple" exercise of comparing/contrasting the reading, praying, and reflecting upon … [Read more...] about Meditation . . .
