Beyond Cutting Edge?

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Can powerful theology meet the force of technology? It's a most urgent question for Christians. Paul Heidebrecht has worked out a careful and thoughtful answer, an answer that inspires hope and opens up new ways for constructive work.”

Christianity Incorporated

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is not a pleasant book. It is bitter and bracing like the wormwood tea my grandmother used to make--something I remember with gratitude and affection. And so I will remember this book.”

Encounters in Thought

Philosophy

“We live in a time that’s alluring with its promises and uncertain with its prospects. We find ourselves floating in its currents. Aaron Kerr gently pulls us to firm ground, letting us see where the firm ground is flourishing and that there is a tradition of people who disclose to us the splendor of the simple. At the same time, Kerr’s book is clearly structured and eminently teachable.”

Illusions of Freedom

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Jeffrey Shaw has carefully arranged in a book what never took place in reality, a conversation between Ellul and Merton. Their agreements, which Shaw allows us to see, give us guidance in troubled times.”

Returning to Reality

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is an important and helpful book. Thompson has gathered Thomas Merton's scattered remarks on technology into a coherent account of critique and counsel. . . . To see Merton's often casual, sometimes mordant, and insightful critique of technology switch so easily into the lyrical evocation of sacred simplicity and serenity is an inspiring experience, and we're in Thompson's debt for having given Merton's voice this backdrop and resonance.”

The Humiliation of the Word

“In this prescient book, Ellul saw what today is a challenge for all of us--coping with the detachment of the word from the world. And he told us what we need: a language that is open to the claims of the Word of God.”

The Way Is Made by Walking

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Everything seems up for grabs, and nothing seems fulfilling any longer. But in this unassuming and engaging chronicle Arthur Boers shows that gravity and grace can be recovered step by step. And for those of us who can't go on a pilgrimage, there are wonderful lessons to be learned from one who did.”

Transhumanism and the Image of God

Science & Faith

“Jacob Shatzer deepens our understanding and practice of Christianity by showing us how profound and perilous the influence of technology is on how we think and conduct ourselves today. Shatzer gives us a calm and comprehensive account of how the intellectual community is responding to these transformative forces, both the observers who are enchanted with the lures of technology and the critics who help us see what is at stake. Most important, Shatzer concludes with consolations that are well founded and inspire confidence.”
