Faith Formation In A Secular Age, Andrew Root
Faith Formation In A Secular Age, Andrew Root
Faculty Publications
Many theologians have focused on faith formation as a means of countering the trend toward disengagement from Christian belief among people today, especially among young adults. Using the insights of Charles Taylor, Andrew Root argues that many such programs are inadequate to the task, because they do not go to the heart of the matter.

Sing A New Song To The City: Ambient Rhetoric And Urban Hymns, Adam J. Copeland
Sing A New Song To The City: Ambient Rhetoric And Urban Hymns, Adam J. Copeland
Faculty Publications
Hymns are a key component of how Christians express their faith. But many of these hymns do represent the rhythms and sensibilities of an older and largely agrarian world. Using the concept of “ambient rhetoric,” Adam Copeland suggests that it is time for other hymns that represent the ethos of daily life in an increasingly urbanized world, hymns that will speak to the realities of urban culture.
The Neighbor, Mark A. Granquist

Who Is My Neighbor? The Church's Vocation In An Era Of Shifting Community, Dwight J. Zscheile
Faculty Publications
Dwight Zscheile is an astute scholar of the shifting patterns and contours of American congregational life, and how the changing aspects of American society are impacting them. He argues for local congregations paying renewed attention to the localized communities around them, as well as the new kinds of communities that have arisen in an age of new technological connections.

The Old Testament And The Neighbor, Rolf A. Jacobson, Karl Jacobson
The Old Testament And The Neighbor, Rolf A. Jacobson, Karl Jacobson
Faculty Publications
The dispute between Jesus and the legal expert in Luke over the question of “the neighbor” was certainly not a new conflict. It is possible to understand the Lucan exchange as a Midrash on sections from the Pentateuch and the Hebrew writings. Rolf and Karl Jacobson delve back into the Old Testament to find the roots of the Lucan dispute, and shed further light on this important biblical concept.
