From the Back Cover:

"Inclusive and wide-ranging in scope, this important anthology showcases the best scholarship from the Disciples of Christ tradition and significantly advances intercultural, ecumenical, and global theological discourse in the twenty-first century. No one will think about theology in the same old way after reading this forward-looking text."
---- Kwok Pui-lan, author of Postcolonial Imagination and Feminist Theology

"At a moment when eco-egalitarian Christians are seeking ways to engage the predations of globalization with our own planetary heritage, this volume offers a luminous chorus of witnesses. Delightfully readable, not preachy but prophetic, it advances the postcolonial transformation of the church and its world."
----Catherine Keller, Drew School of Theology, author of God & Power

"For the Disciples of Christ to flourish, two things are required: creative reclaiming of its dynamic heritage within the Christian faith, and transformed understandings of faith as the church encounters the motions of God's future. Chalice Introduction to Disciples Theology is a window on the future. Its essayists represent some of the most esteemed and some of the newest voices among Disciples around the world. They both interpret our history of theology and practice, and dare to imagine how we may be receiving our inheritance yet again, in a global spirit of crisis, challenge, an surprise."
----Larry D. Bouchard, University of Virginia
