Worth Noting

'William Schweiker of the Chicago Divinity School [draws] on the skills of writers of the calibre (in Christian ethics) of Don Browning, Robin Gill, Thomas Ogletree, and Gene Outka, this breaks new ground in bringing together in one volume in-depth discussion of the moral outlook and practices of the world’s religions, together with an exploration of some of the issues and themes of contemporary religious ethics.'

A Brief History of Death, by Douglas J. Davies, is reviewed in the Church Times by Julien Litten. 'Douglas Davies looks at some of the most significant aspects of death — the act of dying; grieving; burial; the artistic interpretation of death; places of memory; the fear of death, disasters or tragedies — and weaves them into a narrative about changing attitudes to death and dying.'

Worth Noting
Face to Face: Portraits of the Divine in Early Christianity, by Robin M. Jensen, is reviewed with her earlier book, The Substance of Things Seen: Art, Faith, and the Christian Community, in the Church Times by Nicholas Cranfield. 'The six lectures [comprising The Substance of Things Seen] build on a brief overview of visual art and spirituality in the early Church. They aim to challenge the Church and Christians in our day to think about sacred space and the use of art in church.' In Face to Face 'Jensen explores artistic development through both ancient theological and philosophical writing, and demonstrates that the origins of a distinct Christian iconic repertory are often much earlier than is claimed.'

This mutiny will fail; the church will abide: William Swing, Bishop of California, writes in The Witness (and his diocesan website) about the efforts to create schism in the US church.

Radical Compassion, by Hugh McCullom, is reviewed in Ministry Matters by John Bothwell. A biography of Ted Scott, the 10th Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada. 'The title is an astute description of Ted's personality and leadership style, and the book itself provides not just a full record of his life and times, but an exciting readable record of how our church was challenged and changed in the last half of the 20th Century.'

St Martin-in-the-Fields, by Malcolm Johnson, is reviewed in the Church Times by John Pridmore. 'One of the multiple excellences of Johnson's book is that he doesn't let these luminaries upstage the laity. There are pages uncluttered by clergy: on the bells of St Martin's, on the church's many schools, on the Chinese congregation, on "the Pearlies", on the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields, on the great building with its fine font and scary pulpit.

The Struggle to Understand Isaiah as Christian Scripture, by Brevard S. Childs, is reviewed in the Church Times by Anthony Phillips. 'Since there are more than 400 quotations from, paraphrases of, and allusions to it in the New Testament, the importance of the Book of Isaiah for the proclamation of the Christian gospel cannot be exaggerated.'
