<p>"At last, a commentary that dares to imagine Mark was addressed to us! Jennings' social, economical, political, and personal commentary matches the nature of Mark's own efforts to shock readers out of their religious and cultural frames of reference and to embrace the radical realm of justice ushered in by Jesus' proclamation of the reign of God. Ted Jennings uses every Markan story as an opportunity to preach the radical gospel of God's international dominion of justice. His commentary allows Mark to shake us out of our specious efforts to secure ourselves and to confront us with the radical call to live for the poor, oppressed, and the marginalized. Preachers, students, biblical scholars and theologians will want to read this book." - David M. Rhoads, Professor of New Testament Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago</p>

<p>In this pioneering contribution to masculine psychology, Robert L. Moore, a Jungian psychoanalyst, and Douglas Gillette, a mythologist, examine the inner King-one of the four archetypes of the male psyche. Asleep-as far as Ego-awareness is concerned-for untold generations, the King at the center of every man's soul is now returning to consciousness. His return is heralded by many men's growing sense of empowered masculine authenticity and by their enlarged capacity to empower others: other men, their friends and co-workers, the women in their lives, and their children. The inner King integrates power and nurturing, firmness and caring, courage and creativity, self-affirmation and self-sacrifice. From his central position between the world of imagination and the world of action, the King within challenges every man to take up his own scepter, to dream dreams, and to make them come true. This new revised and expanded Text Edition of The King Within recounts, as did the first edition, the many gifts the King can bestow on men. It also offers expanded discussion of techniques for accessing and regulating the King's powerful energies. Most importantly, it presents, for the first time, a 47-page description of the 16 configurations in which the four archetypes appear in men's personalities. This additional section includes newly created graphics that illustrate Robert Moore's ground-breaking "Structural Psychoanalysis," a new and vital integration of psychoanalytic and spiritual theories that will help men achieve a full and authentic maturity-so as to steward a new and better world into being.</p>

In his new book, Closing the Assessment "Loop": Nurturing Healthy, On-going Self-evaluation in Theological Schools, William R. Myers describes a four-step process of institutional assessment that is both appropriate to and feasible for seminaries, and that is intended to help administrators and faculty members to cultivate an ethos of regular and demonstrable self-evaluation and improvement in their schools. The four steps are: 1) the formulation of questions around an issue that has arisen or problem to be solved, 2) the gathering of data both about the problem and possible solutions, 3) the interpretation of the data as to solutions that are feasible and appropriate, and 4) the choice of strategies to implement that will solve the problem or improve the situation. Myers, then, gives examples of how these four steps might look in relation to the assessment of all levels of institutional life: student learning, program structures, administrative departments, presidential leadership, the effectiveness of the governing board, and institutional progress toward fulfillment of its mission. Implementing such daily procedures, a school may well find itself better equipped to refine and accomplish its mission because strategic steps to meet challenges both large and small will emerge from this ethos of regular and on-going self-evaluation at all institutional levels.
