Evangelical Zen, Second Edition
World Religions
“Through cross-cultural reflection in Japan, and his relationship with Buddhist priest Kyogen Carlson, Paul Louis Metzger pursues multifaith engagement in the way of Christ. For those asking, ‘What would Jesus do?,’ in a pluralistic world where Christians live among adherents of the religions, Evangelical Zen provides a helpful example for Christ’s followers, and others, to emulate.”
Christian Living
“Concerned about our present polarization and how this relates to the Christian mind, Elmer Thiessen has written a helpful introductory book that addresses intellectual virtues and vices. Perhaps most helpful is recognition of the relational aspect of these virtues, which when utilized inappropriately trigger our individual and ingroup defense mechanisms such as confirmation bias, but when exercised in healthy fashion can result in new understandings and trust-building across deep differences. I recommend Healthy Christian Minds as a starter volume for Christians looking to take the initial steps beyond our present cultural divide.”
Apologetics
“Headwinds, by definition, oppose the forward motion of an object, usually a plane or boat. Faced with this phenomenon, we need skill to overcome the challenge. Like skilled sailors, Terryl Givens and Nathaniel Givens tack into the winds—in this case, those that challenge religious commitments in a scientific and largely secular age. Their careful and informed navigation takes the reader on a journey that engages contemporary scholarship and thought, and which enables arrival at a destination of faith. As their discussion demonstrates, while belief may at times be hard, secularism’s tempest can be successfully traversed. This book is an informative lighthouse showing the way.”
