|  | Genesis by Genevieve James, James Nielson, Michel Serres
This English translation of Serres's 1982 book Genese captures in lucid and graceful prose the startling breath and depth of his thinking, as he probes the relation between order, disorder, knowledge, anxiety, and violence. Written in a blend of scientific discourse and lyrical outburst, classical philosophical idiom and conversational intimacy, Genesis is an attempt to think outside of metaphysical categories of unity or rational order. Serres draws on his vast interdisciplinary knowledge and noted philosophical writings to argue that the most pressing task of thought today is to recognize that pockets of unity and rationality are islands of order in a sea of multiplicity--a sea that cannot really be CONCEIVED, but which perhaps can still be sensed, felt, and HEARD.

 | Speaking the Truth in Love by James V. Brownson
How can the Christian faith be translated into new languages and into new cultural forms? How much of Christian faith is culturally conditioned and how much is universal? What role should the Bible play in encouraging or in limiting diverse expressions of Christian faith? What does it mean to speak of the gospel as truth in a world that declares that religious speech can never be true, but only true-for-me ? These are some of the hermeneutical questions that arise as the church enters into its missional calling. Brownson explores these questions in an effort to understand how the church can engage in cross-cultural hermeneutics in clear and effective ways. He looks at the way in which the New Testament writers functioned hermeneutically -- how. they attempted to interpret the gospel as it crossed cultural boundaries in the diverse contexts of the first century, concluding with a discussion of contemporary use of a missional hermeneutic.
