A Democratic and Republican Faith

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In a moment when it seems that the only Christian alternative to evangelical nationalism is a progressivism not up to the task, A Democratic and Republican Faith calls mainline Christians to reclaim the ‘thick’ theological substance of our tradition to defend democratic life and restore the institutions necessary to form good Christian citizens. I heartily recommend this book for anyone concerned about the integrity of American Christianity or the health of our republic.”

Living Belief

Theology

“Living Belief is a deep but accessible introduction to Christian piety, which Douglas Ottati insists is not so much about subscription to a list of propositional truths as about asking good questions—about who God is, who we are (at our best and our worst), and what it means to find direction and hope in the God disclosed in Jesus Christ. Drawing on ancient creeds and biblical texts, Ottati demonstrates how Christianity seldom offers only one answer to our questions, and in doing so he invites us to discover richness, diversity, and vitality in theological tradition. Living Belief is a wonderful primer on Christian faith from one of this generation’s most important theologians.”

Sustainable Abundance for All

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Nunez offers us an informed, elegant, and prophetic vision for a future of sustainable abundance. Rooted in the tradition of Catholic social principles and aimed at the world-risking technocracy emerging around us today, this book evocatively invites us to the ‘adjacent possible,’ a future we confront not with despair but along axes of grace, joy, realism, and hope. A wonderful read, this book is an essential prod to creatively reimagine our economic and ecological tomorrow.”
