A Christian Critique of American Culture

Theology

“This book has an amplitude, a richness, a penetration that . . . are seldom to be encountered in Protestant theology or in Christian theology of culture in general.”

Religion in History

Theology

“The monumental work of Ernst Troeltsch stands as the twentieth century's most thorough and systematic attempt to come to terms with the historical character of culture, knowledge, and religion.”

The Christian Faith

Theology

“Ernst Troeltsch spoke candidly of his own difficult writing style as resembling 'sailor's hardtack.' But I suspect that no one will detect it in Garrett Paul's elegant rendition into English of the Glaubenslehre. This is no small achievement, for which every reader of this important historical document will be grateful.”

Wilderness and Paradise in Christian Thought

History & Biography

“This book would delight the mind and heart of a Milton or a Coleridge or a Jonathan Edwards. Here are wide-ranging scholarship, theological perspicacity, poetic imagination, informing a study that follows the course of two of the major seminal ideas--desert and paradise--that through the centuries have fructified the biblical and the later Christian mind.”
