Theology
“Humberto Casanova joins the increasing number of scholars who affirm that the Bible has not just been influenced by myth, it is myth. Where Casanova moves the conversation forward is in his argument that this categorical misinterpretation of the Bible is at the root of the current state of religious affairs—more and more people are finding religion irrelevant to the modern world and are therefore leaving religious organizations altogether. . . . In Imagining God, Casanova makes the compelling argument that the ancients constructed their ideas of God using metaphors drawn from their own cultural surroundings, and so should we, thus calling for a new theology that embraces the Bible’s mythical nature, is in dialogue with the natural sciences, and that takes seriously the criticisms of today’s youth.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“What does it mean to ‘take heart’ in turbulent times? Gossai answers this question by drawing on the wisdom of biblical and modern authors, weaving together a timely cultural commentary on the positive power of relationships, responsibility, choice, and risk. Take Heart is a call to ‘re-soul’ ourselves individually and collectively, a call that is rooted in the values of radical empathy and grace that inform every page of this enduring volume.”
