Theology
“Few can dispute Greg Wagenfuhr’s description of how humanity has been (wittingly or not) a parasite, plundering, destroying, and sucking the life out of the planet (Eden, creation). His analyses of how our ways of thinking (our myths and imaginaries—especially the uncontested rule of technique/technology and scientific management) are the culprit behind the plunder are spot on. Wagenfuhr’s bold revisionist theology of creation and redemption and his calls for radical, costly change on the part of Christians must be taken with total seriousness. . . . Plundering Eden has a very important and urgent message for our times.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Propaganda 2.1 is a brilliant contribution to our fragile planet and civilization. . . . The picture is bleak, but Fallon shows how the emergence of the World Wide Web and various internet technologies can open up new possibilities—not just QAnon and Alex Jones, but WikiLeaks, Occupy Wall Street, and Black Lives Matter. Individuals and smaller movements can have a voice. Resistance, truth, justice, freedom, and community may not be likely—but they are possible with Propaganda 2.1.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Stivers and van der Laan have delivered a lean but muscular critical masterpiece. . . . Their analysis of today’s impassioned, partisan politics and its colonization of the Christian churches—and their deep understanding of our technological milieu and its uncritical embrace by pastors and churches—should be required reading by all pastors and seminary students. . . . Stivers and van der Laan speak truth to our reality, and the issues they raise must get on the agenda of any leader who cares about the church and the world.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Of the fifty or more books I have read on the Ten Commandments, Jan Milic Lochman's Signposts to Freedom has to be in the top two or three. His biblical scholarship is impeccable. His grasp of the positive, inspiring meaning of the commands is second to none. And his ability to communicate these powerful insights to a broad readership is impressive. Four stars on all counts!”
“Marva Dawn has provided a major gift to thoughtful Christians and social analysts with her translation of and commentary on these previously obscure French essays by Jacques Ellul. The articles themselves are full of the flashing insight and challenge that Ellul provided over an incredibly prolific fifty-year career. Dawn's translations are painstakingly faithful; her introductory comments and footnotes are a superb contribution — helpful especially to those who have read little or nothing of Ellul's work in the past. Few readers of this volume will emerge without wishing for further encounters with Ellul's thought.”
Theology
“Donald Bloesch's Spirituality Old New is an extraordinary gift to Christians everywhere, pastors and laity alike. It's really all about walking with God under the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit. Amid all the fads, half-truths, dead ends and dangers, Bloesch steers us with a steady, experienced, biblical hand to the goal---which is not about our 'feeling it' but about God 'receiving it'--the praise and devotion he deserves. This just has to be put on everyone's all-time top five list of books on the topic.”
Technique, Discourse, and Consciousness
Philosophy
“There is simply no other book that so carefully and brilliantly explores the deeper philosophical roots and significance of Jacques Ellul’s pathfinding volumes on technique / technology.”
“Anyone interested in promoting or communicating the truth in our frantic society will be challenged and assisted by The Humiliation of the Word. The translation and preface by Joyce Hanks are a superb contribution from an expert in Ellul’s thought as well as the French language.”
The Media Creates Us in Its Image and Other Essays on Technology and Culture
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Richard Stivers has created a rich feast for thought in The Media Creates Us in Its Image. . . . Few have written as powerfully as Stivers on the technological threat to true education. . . . While the thinking and research are always deep, the clarity of Stivers’ writing, as well as the universal importance of technology in our lives, invites a wide audience to benefit from this book.”
The Nature and Future of Christianity
Theology
“The Nature and Future of Christianity is a welcome and insightful tour of contemporary Christendom. The historical contexts that gave rise to H. Richard Niebuhr's five 'types' are long gone, and Long's provocative replacements are great candidates to stand in their stead, whether for historians, sociologists, theologians, clergy, or thoughtful laity of all stripes. Reading this book is sitting at table with one of America's wisest, best-qualified analysts and observers.”
The Subversion of Christianity
Theology
Foreword
“"The Subversion of Christianity provides a sober, challenging examination of many misguided appropriations of the world into the Church. It stands as a formidable contribution to our contemporary quest for ways of thought and life that are faithful to Jesus Christ....”
