In this revision of his classic text, Bernhard Anderson takes into account recent developments in the study of the Psalms. Continuing his focus on the poetic forms of the Psalter and the setting of the psalms in worship, he adds three new chapters: on the style of poetry in the psalms, on the penitential psalms, and on reading the book of Psalms as a whole. Ideal for use in the classroom, by church groups, and by individuals, Out of the Depths offers a fresh reading of the Psalms and examines their enduring relevance to today's theological issues.

Out of the Depths: The Psalms Speak for Us Today

Anderson, Bernhard W.

This book offers basic information both for persons under supervision and for those supervising them in pastoral care, drawing upon the expertise and experiences of 15 pastoral supervisors. In describing keys aspects, George Bennett discusses the supervisory contract and preparing for supervision; Kathleen Davis introduces methods of working with clinical materials; Mark Jensen presents ways to work with life histories; and Alexa Smith provides a summary of student responses to clinical supervision. To expand various kinds of supervision, Darryl Tiller addresses the use of "self as instrument"; John Lentz considers the supervision of pastoral counseling relationships; Bruce Skaggs describes group supervision; and Carolyn Lindsey presents specific aspects of live supervision. Three chapters adress specific problems: Clarence Barton and Amanda Ragland deal with transference and countertransference; Nancy Fontenot examines passivity; and Barbara Sheehan reviews gender issues. Finaly, the supervisory model is applied to broader issues: to the supervision of church volunteers by Grayson Tucker, to supervising teachers in Christian Education programs by Louis Weeks, and to a seminary field education program by editor David A. Steere. This book is a valuable asset for professors, working supervisors, and all persons entering supervision in pastoral caare. David A. Steere is Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling and Director of Clinical Training, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, and a diplomate of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors.

Letters to the Galatians and Ephesians by Barclay, William

A Dangerous Theologian: The morals of a martyr are not necessarily the best rules to live by. This simple fact has been emphasized many times during the past few years, as the new theology has given birth to the new morality. The much quoted aphorism of St. Augustine, 'Love God and do as you please', was recognized long ago as a dangerous slogan, which did not always encourage high living, despite its beauty and truth. The same danger has been seen in the teaching of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. What seemed right to a man in prison, about to die for his faith, is hardly a suitable set of rules for a generation of students brought up in the prosperity of a welfare state. And so Bonhoeffer is dangerous. He gives men an excuse for lax standards in their private lives and makes an irregular attender at church feel the comfort and support of a better man than himself! When Bonhoeffer says, 'How little I miss the church services', he is not lying in bed unwilling to get up. An earlier age would have put the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeﬂer on the index during his lifetime and discouraged posthumous publication. The weaker brethren would have been protected from this heady draft of free thinking. There have been times during the past few years when I could have wished for such powers to withhold the 'Letters and Papers from Prison' from publication until the other works had been read. These wonderful letters have been so misused that the inﬂuence of Bonhoeifer has more than once run out into shallow sands. So many people have thrilled to the ideas in those letters of the church being abolished or distinctive Christian standards being abandoned. So few have taken the trouble to read the careful basis for Bonhoeifer's revolutionary ideas in his published works? There is no doubt that the letters form prison are exciting. When they were published, it was hoped that they would encourage readers to turn to his more considered works ...
