Rediscovering Christian Realism

“Hassell’s ‘Back to the Future’ format brings to light an approach to dealing with macrocultural issues from a theological-political perspective. For those in congregational contexts who hear only the extreme left or extreme right voices, ‘rediscovering’ the Christian realists-theologians of the early- and middle-twentieth century can be a refreshing and enlightening experience. Those theologians brought to bear a blend of applied theology perspectives suitable for any generation, any century.”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Paris includes all the elements to make this a paradigm for doing good Christian ethics: relevance of a set of moral dilemmas: authenticity and expertise: a constructive analysis; excellent communication.”
