Important: This book is the 16th book in our Superhero Universe! The Outcasts, a group of extraordinary individuals, rejoiced as their own building in Los Angeles finally opened its doors. The city buzzed with excitement as crowds of joyous civilians gathered outside, eager to catch a glimpse of their beloved heroes. Laughter and cheers filled the air, painting a vivid picture of unity and admiration. But the festivities took a sudden turn when Liveos and his cohorts launched a surprise attack on the celebration. The Outcasts and the crowd were taken aback, their happiness swiftly replaced by confusion and fear. Strangely, Liveos did not seek to cause harm or take lives. Instead, he delivered a cryptic message to the Outcasts, leaving them puzzled and anxious for answers. Driven by a mix of determination and uncertainty, the Outcasts set forth on a daring mission to Amliveon. Their goal: to confront Liveos and put an end to his enigmatic plans once and for all. However, their hopes were dashed upon discovering Liveos's absence in Amliveon. Returning to Los Angeles, a disturbing sight awaited them. The once-familiar cityscape was now engulfed in a crimson-like slime, casting an eerie glow over everything. And from the depths of this grotesque landscape emerged monstrous creatures, thirsting for battle and chaos.

Much is said in the Christian Bible about when the present age will dissolve into a time when only peace and good will prevail throughout the world. This is particularly true of the Book of Revelation at the end of the Bible, one of the most mysterious and hotly-debated books of the Bible, which has been seen variously as another illustration of mankind's perennial insecurity and fear of annihilation or disaster, a pre-scientific catalogue of catastrophes common to much ancient apocalyptic literature, a prophecy of doom, a metaphor for how ultimately evil will fail and good will prevail, or a serious and literal account of how God will destroy all that is wrong in this world to bring in His New World Order. This book seeks to find the deeper reality of what these scriptures are telling us. Is this really God addressing mankind and i f so what is He really telling us, why should He do so and how this is intimately relevant to us?

Since its emergence in the sixties of the last century, liberation theology in Latin America has paid little attention to the areas of aesthetics and art. At the same time, theological aesthetics seldom has been directly and explicitly concerned about the reality of the poor and the struggle for justice. This mutual disinterest between liberation theology and theological aesthetics is regrettable, because discerning a correlation between them would benefit both theological disciplines in their attempt to understand the saving action of God in the world. It is the intention of this book to fill that gap. A Theological Aesthetics of Liberation correlates liberation theology and theological aesthetics, exploring different themes such as the liberating power of art, and how the Spirit of God is involved in the process of liberation in and through art. This study is a critical reflection upon the question of the beauty of Jesus Christ, especially in relationship with the event of the cross, and upon its meaning for Christian life. This book analyzes such topics in conversation with important theologians: Gustavo Gutierrez, Jon Sobrino, Karl Rahner, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Edward Schillebeeckx, and other contemporary Christian theologians who have explored these themes.

Once he was Tom Cade, lawman and gunfighter. Now, he is Amos Hood, preacher. He left the way of the gun to spread the Word of the Lord. When Hood rides into Gold Town, it’s clear the place is badly in need of two things: the law of God and the law of man. With miners and cowboys feuding and killing each other in the streets and the saloons, someone has to bring order. Now a man of peace, Hood sets about building a church and gathering a flock. But the townsfolk, desperate to control the miners and cowboys, hire a shootist with a trail of corpses behind him to wear a badge. With rustlers re-branding cattle stolen from neighboring ranches and miners trying to stake claims to land near water, Gold Town is poised to explode into a range war. And if that happens Amos Hood may not have a prayer of keeping the peace—or of keeping his own violent past a secret.

Is there real help for the hurting people in our world? We think of the children in war, refugees adrift, patients without medicine, and those dying in droughts and floods. Lest we despair, Jesus announces that the Kingdom of God is near. This book defines the Kingdom anew and shows how it brings us hope even in the worst of circumstances. The Kingdom of God is bigger than we thought. When God was King there was liberation and enough to survive and thrive. Promises of the Kingdom’s blessings kept hope alive through defeat and devastation. While forgiving, healing, feeding, raising the dead, and praising the enemy, Jesus announced the Kingdom was at hand even before he wept over the coming destruction of Jerusalem. As a political scientist, Robert Schmidt demonstrates the political importance of the Kingdom through the centuries. He also shows how Christ continues to work through churches, organizations, and governments to bring hope through what he calls “God’s New World Society.” As a pastor he reaches out to those who have left the church. Might God still use them in Jesus’ Kingdom work? With hope in their hearts there is a lot to be done.
