Evangelism after Pluralism

Theology

“By what waywardness have we gotten to the point that 'evangelism' means a proselytizing wrestling match between competing faiths? Evangelism after Pluralism offers a corrective.”

Passion for Nothing

Philosophy

“I sometimes wonder why people read books about Kierkegaard. Of course, the competitive pressures of capitalist academe make the temptation almost irresistible. And we are a slothful species, hunting at every turn for shortcuts, summaries, and simplifications. Nobody wants to look stupid when colleagues make declarations about 'a great thinker.' Surely a book about Kierkegaard will give us a voice to fill what would otherwise have been an unproductive moment of silence. If you are looking for a handy little compendium, don’t bother to read Peter Kline. If, on the other hand, you have found that something has stirred in you as you have read Kierkegaard and you want to open your heart to the myriad energies at play in his work, energies that don’t so much surge as beckon, then do please read Peter Kline. This is a book for a warm body and its agitated mind. Read it, if you still hope that we temporal children are not done yet.”
