THE PEOPLE PAUL ADMIRED

Where did the old social barriers break down at the coming of Christianity? In homes. Where did practice join theology to break down the division between rich and poor or Jew and Greek, so that they ate together? In the hospitality of house church hosts and hostesses. What happened to the barrier between slave and free? Gone when they prayed together. The failure to value women? Dissolved as hosts and hostesses served the friends who entered their door. Paul saw this, admired and praised the house church leaders, and planned on homes to grow the gospel.

INDIAN AND CHRISTIAN: CHANGING IDENTITIES IN MODERN INDIA

Eds.: Cornelis Bennema and Paul Joshua Bhakiaraj
This book is a unique contribution in the larger area of Missions. ‘Who am I?’ is a question that every human needs to ask him- or herself. In this book, this question is looked at from a dual perspective—Indian and Christian. Can one be both ‘Indian’ and ‘Christian’ in the modern world?
Should one have a single identity or can one have multiple identities? The book tries to address these issues with great clarity and conviction.

The SAIACS Annual Consultation strives to hold together theory and practice within an evangelical framework, and be relevant for the Church in South Asia. The first SAIACS Annual Consultation took place during 9–12 November 2010 at SAIACS in Bangalore, and had as its theme ‘Indian and Christian: Changing Identities in Modern India’. This book is the fruit of
that Consultation and contains sixteen articles covering areas of Biblical Studies, Theology & Philosophy, Religion & Culture, and Pastoral Theology & Psychology.

CENTRE STAGE: 13 PLAYS FOR ADAPTATION

Sangeeta Chowdary

One of the few of its kind in the sphere of Indian Christian writings, Centre Stage by Sangeeta Chowdary is a book of short plays set in the heart of everyday life. Whether at youth fellowships, a church gathering or for a training programme, this book offers plays that are contemporary and easy to stage. They can be adapted for an elaborate production or be played out as skits.
Through these plays Sangeeta takes a refreshing look at situations and Bible stories we’ve possibly stopped paying attention to. This is an interesting collection from a young, promising writer. Some deep truths behind the humour.

CONTEMPLATIONS OF A GLAD HEART

Bhaskar Venugopal

Contemplations of a Glad Heart is a collection of 20 poems with thoughts and reflections for daily meditation. It is a response to God’s leading in this paradox called life— filled with joy and with sorrow, with light and with darkness, with mountains and with valleys but most importantly, filled with experiences that provide glimpses of a loving God who is interested in everything that happens to us.

REVISED EDITION:

CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP-
For Building the Church and Building the Nation

Graham Houghton

Many books have been written on leadership, but very few from a uniquely Christian perspective. Dr Houghton has been careful to incorporate in this volume the essential ingredients that set Christian leadership apart from other models of leadership, particularly the biblical emphasis on servanthood. His style of simple eloquence, his eagerness to learn and share from the wisdom of others and the evidences of mature reflection upon years of personal experience in ministry all serve to illustrate those elements of cheerful humility and resourceful dedication that characterize the biblical style of leadership Houghton envisions for this generation of Christians.
