Hearing the Call Liturgy, Justice, Church, and World Nicholas Wolterstorff Edited by Mark R. Gornik and Gregory Thompson For more than forty years Nicholas Wolterstorff has been intensely engaged with issues of liturgy, justice, and how to live faithfully as a Christian in the world. This volume brings together a choice selection of the many influential popular and semipopular articles that Wolterstorff has written throughout his career. Hearing the Call includes a moving interview with a Christian Palestinian bishop exiled from his homeland, perspectives on the controversy over women’s ordination, reflections on whether the Christian liturgy has a place for lament, and a discussion of whether Christians can be patriots. These pieces — thirtynine in all — make clear why Wolterstorff is one of the church’s most incisive and compelling voices. Nicholas Wolterstorff is the Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology at Yale Divinity School. Among his many other books are Reason within the Bounds of Religion, Until Justice and Peace Embrace, Lament for a Son, and Justice: Rights and Wrongs. Religion & Society November / 978-0-8028-6525-0 6″ × 9″ paperback 480 pages / $30.00 [£19.99] God and the Art of Happiness Ellen T. Charry Western Christians are generally skittish about happiness, observes Ellen Charry. We hope for future, eternal happiness, but are we really supposed to be happy in the here and now, which so often is a vale of tears? Charry’s God and the Art of Happiness reviews the history of the theological conversation about happiness and offers a constructive proposal for considering it anew. After a brief introductory look at ancient Greek philosophy, Charry surveys the treatment of God and happiness in classic Christian thought, from Saint Augustine through the eighteenth century. She then explores the biblical vision of happiness in the Pentateuch, Psalms, Proverbs, and the Gospel of John, showing how the Bible encourages the happiness and flourishing that accompany obedience to the Creator — and how God and we are to enjoy and delight in one another. A highly original theology of the Christian life, born out of hope and personal anguish, Charry’s God and the Art of Happiness ends with stories that movingly exemplify how true happiness can be found and embraced in real-life situations. Ellen T. Charry is Margaret W. Harmon Professor of Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. Her other books include Inquiring after God and By the Renewing of Your Minds.

The Meaning of Life S. L. Frank Translated by Boris Jakim Originally published in Russian in 1925, The Meaning of Life is a distillation of S. L. Frank’s bitter experience during the Revolution and his post-Revolution exile. It is, quite simply, a book about the search for meaning in suffering, and it displays an extraordinary spiritual profundity rooted in personal experience. Translator Boris Jakim calls it “the closest thing we have in the twenty-first century to the book of Job.” Jakim’s masterful translation into English brings Frank’s powerful thought to a world still — and always — searching for meaning. S. L. Frank (1877–1950) was one of the most outstanding Russian philosophers of the modern era. An opponent of Marxism and Soviet communism, he was a leading figure of the Russian religious renaissance in the early twentieth century. Boris Jakim is one of the foremost living translators of Russian religious thought into English. Philosophical Theology August / 978-0-8028-6527-4 6″ × 9″ paperback 154 pages / $25.00 [£16.99] Jacob’s Ladder On Angels Sergius Bulgakov Translated and introduced by Thomas Allan Smith Few of the great Russian author Sergius Bulgakov’s writings achieve the lyrical heights of Jacob’s Ladder. In this book, originally published in 1929, Bulgakov discusses the doctrine of angels and their importance for contemporary humanity. He includes reflections on the meaning of love, the sexes, death, and the Christian hope of resurrection, meditating on the Wisdom of God in the creation. Jacob’s Ladder completes the development of Divine Sophia and creation begun in The Burning Bush and The Friend of the Bridegroom, which together constitute Bulgakov’s first dogmatic trilogy. Sergius Bulgakov (1871–1944) was the twentieth century’s leading Orthodox theologian. His other books include The Philosophy of Economy, The Unfading Light, The Friend of the Bridegroom, The Burning Bush, The Lamb of God, and The Comforter.
