Book Review: Once Delivered to the Saints: An Orthodox Apology for the New Millennium

strongly on examples of particular practices as the starting point for their reflection. Thus, Tammy Williams' contribution on healing was initiated by her experience of the untimely deaths of those who were precious to her. She uses that material to examine the practice of healing in a variety of Christian traditions, thereby exposing the theology of the work of Christ implicit within them. At the same time, she says something important about the way poverty, access to medical care and the outpouring of faith are related. Affluent Christians reading the article may well find their faith practices called into question. The adjacent pieces by Pohi and Bond on the practice of hospitality offer two models for attending to similar materiaL Pohi' s moving account of an Open Door community becomes the means for exploring interdependence (the body of Christ), while Bond, in contrasting two differing practices of hospitality among the poor, reveals the issue of vulnerability within Gospel communities. Bedford's chapter on discernment considers the possibility of the transformation of structural injustice through small changes in practice and offers comment on the means by which priorities may be set. It needs to be read alongside Jones' contribution on a similar theme. The book also contains a number of pieces which display a more traditional theological style. Here the starting point is different, though the results are equally stimulating. Hutter's piece on the interplay between hospitality and truth is significant for its clear exposition of the consequences where these two are not held in tension. The chapters by Coakley and Volfalso merit detailed attention. If there is a downside to this book, it lies in the irritations of some transatlantic uses of English (e.g. the title) and the occasional lapse into jargon. Yet even here, the book makes strenuous efforts to make the work accessible to the 'ordinary' reader. Those who are finding that they need a new stimulus in their adult Christian ministry would do well to work their way through the book. Similarly, theologians who are tempted to neglect the need for critical engagement with Christian living would do well to attend to the methodology and results of these studies.
