“In an age of constricting secularity, a gasp for spiritual well-being can be heard across the land. Should we be surprised? It is to this issue that Dr. Domenic Ruso writes The Bible for a Shifting Secular Age, an important issue to which younger generations are giving serious attention. His outline and content carefully help us understand this issue in clear and relevant ways. I recommend this critical handbook to help us navigate our lives through the moonscape of our secular age.”
“Domenic Ruso has written a deeply important book about the most significant book in history. The Bible contains a vast world that many are intimidated by or misunderstand completely. In a rapidly shifting culture, we need guides who can help us re-examine how the ancient story of Scripture can anchor our world—and our lives. Dom is the kind of guide we all need. He is a scholar who writes compellingly and with an urgency we all should carry. I believe every follower of Jesus would do well to read this book.”
“With wisdom and insight, Domenic Ruso meets us at the intersection of the Bible’s timeless truth and the pressing realities of today’s secular age. Here, he offers a compelling vision of Scripture that is both relevant and transformative in a post-Christian world.”
“The Bible for a Shifting Secular Age examines and grapples with a positive way to engage Christianity with current secular culture and society. The author introduces readers to a new view of the Bible in conjunction with current values of autonomy and self-understanding, the key values of what Charles Taylor has called our authentic age. The book uses existing high-quality field and scholarly research to help inform Bible reading and practice. This book is extremely helpful for Christians and (aspiring) church leaders who are seeking to find their place and understanding in a modern world.”
“In The Bible for a Shifting Secular Age, Domenic Ruso masterfully explores how the Scriptures address our deepest longings in an age of rapid cultural change. Combining theological depth with practical insight, Ruso unveils the Bible as more than an ancient text—but as a living source of hope, spiritual renewal, and relational healing in our fractured world. A timely, inspiring, and transformative read.”
“The Bible is back in vogue and a talking point in culture. However, there are new challenges and complexities to navigate. Domenic outlines a creative approach that can help us embrace the opportunities without dumbing down on truth. This book combines theological depth and practical tools as a vital guide for anyone who wants to see the Bible transforming lives today.”
