Martyr, Thinker, Man of resistance<br />
Ferdinand Schlingensiepen<br />
‘Schlingensiepen’s new book is without<br />
peer. We are in his debt for the good<br />
work that he has done, opening a new<br />
window into the remarkable life, witness<br />
and scholarship of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.’<br />
The Christian Century<br />
‘When the last paragraph is finished, the<br />
reader is left with the sadness that such<br />
a grand Christian should have had his life<br />
so brutally ended, but also with a feeling of strange warmth …<br />
Read this book and walk with him.’ Methodist Recorder<br />
‘An admirable work. Deepens and humanizes the portraiture.’<br />

The New Asceticism<br />
Sexuality, gender and the Quest for god<br />
Sarah Coakley<br />
• Original contemporary theologian treats<br />
the contentious areas of sexual ethics,<br />
gender, and the role of women in the<br />
church<br />
• Draws both liberal and conservative<br />
camps into a new and serious reflection<br />
which may start to heal contemporary<br />
wounds<br />
• Shows how desire can be recovered from<br />
its associations with promiscuity and<br />
disorder<br />
cutting creatively across established ecclesiastical battle lines,<br />
Sarah coakley offers an original thesis about the nature of<br />
desire. Pointing the way through the false modern alternatives<br />
of repression and libertarianism, agape and eros, she forges a<br />
new ascetical theology founded in the disciplines of prayer and<br />
attention.<br />
