Book Description
Theological dictionaries are foundational to any theological library. But until now there has been no Global Dictionary of Theology, a theological dictionary that presumes the contribution of the Western tradition but moves beyond it to embrace and explore a full range of global expressions of theology. The Global Dictionary of Theology is inspired by the shift of the center of Christianity from the West to the Global South. But it also reflects the increase in two-way traffic between these two sectors as well as the global awareness that has permeated popular culture to an unprecedented degree. The editorial perspective of the Global Dictionary of Theology is an ecumenical evangelicalism that is receptive to discovering new facets of truth through listening and conversation on a global scale. Thus a distinctive feature of the Global Dictionary of Theology is its conversational approach. Contributors have been called on to write in the spirit of engaging in a larger theological conversation in which alternative views are expected and invited. William A. Dyrness, Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Juan F. Martinez and Simon Chan edit approximately 250 articles written by over 100 contributors representing the global spectrum of theological perspectives. Pastors, theological teachers, theological students and lay Christian leaders will all find the Global Dictionary of Theology to be a resource that unfolds new dimensions and reveals new panoramas of theological perspective and inquiry. Here is a new launching point for doing theology in today's global context.

Book Description
"The purpose of the Global Wesleyan Dictionary of Biblical Theology is to define major biblical terms, themes, and concepts and offer a Wesleyan assessment of each. Also its' intent is to reflect the global character of Christian faith by the choice of topics and the global character of the contributors. When appropriate, a theological assessment of the themes and concepts are offered. Finally, the book provides a guide for understanding the richness of the Wesleyan approach to interpreting Scripture"--

Book Description
"Al Truesdale undergirds his discussion of sin with the assurance of God's self-giving love in Christ. Not only is sin an offense against God and neighbor, but it is also overcome only by God's redemptive grace working through forgiveness and reconciliation. After articulating the nature of sin, Truesdale guides the reader to an understanding of Christ's victory and the life of holiness"--
