| 1-59333-195-9 | Ferencz, Nicholas. American Orthodoxy and Parish Congregationalism
Orthodox ecclesiology doctrinally and historically requires that all authority in the church be expressed by the bishop. The unity of authority, based upon the laying on of hands, is the lived expression of the oneness and catholicity of the church. American Orthodoxy, however, does not have such an authority structure, especially on the parish level. This study explores the divergence of practice from doctrine in the American church. The study concludes with a theological discussion of the problematic nature of parish congregationalism in Orthodoxy. It points toward the already-realized conciliarity of supra-parish structures as the paradigm for a reformation of parish authority structures. More... | $99.00 | Add to Cart | | 
| 978-1-59333-450-5 | Peters, Francis. Ours: The Making and Unmaking of a Jesuit
The Jesuits—that group of clerics so deeply imbedded in the dreams and nightmares of the Catholic Church and in the history of the world. Sometimes saints and sometimes energetic and devious schemers, the Jesuits have educated and trained most of the Catholic intellectuals of America and Europe for the last four hundred years.
F. E. Peters throws open the doors of the Jesuit citadel in this story of a young man’s coming of age. This is a personal story told without romance and without rancor, and if the Jesuit life is one of bondage to an almost impossible ideal of perfect obedience and self-denial, it is also, as Ours makes clear without the slightest trace of jesuitical equivocation, a life of intelligence, of intense camaraderie, and of high good humor.

| 978-1-59333-846-6 | Studebaker, Steven M.. Jonathan Edwards’ Social Augustinian Trinitarianism in Historical and Contemporary Perspectives
A historical case for Edwards’ consistent use of the Augustinian mutual love model in place of interpretations that suggest his thought embraces the disparate Western and Eastern models, but favored the Eastern social model of the Trinity. More... | $115.00 | Add to Cart | | 
| 1-59333-317-X | Turner, Jr., William C.. The United Holy Church of America: A Study in Black Holiness-Pentecostalism
This project was inspired by years of nurture and ministry in the church upon which the study focuses. With roots going back to the historic African American Church, it offers a window into early growth, the development of crucial theological positions, institutional development within the American Church of the twentieth century, and emerging patterns for worldwide Christianity in the twenty-first century. The struggle within this project is against a background of misunderstanding. Given the pejorative biases in earlier studies against African American Christianity in general, and Holiness-Pentecostalism in particular, a contest is under way for placement within the appropriate taxonomy.
