Evangelicals and the Early Church

History & Biography

“Professors Kalantzis and Tooley and the scholars they have convened dare to ask: Is the recent fascination with the early church among some evangelicals merely the latest fad of consumerist religion or is something more profound at work? This rich collection of essays demonstrates the breadth of engagement in Patristic thought and practice among some of the leading voices in evangelical Christianity. They prove the title is not an oxymoron.”

“Brent Laytham carefully analyzes the social and theological problems attached to entertainment as it has become wedded to technology. But this is neither a screed against its dangers nor a doomsday resignation to its hegemonic power. Rather, Laytham asks us to keep entertainment in its proper place in God's economy, practicing resistance to its idolatrous tendencies while embracing it as a 'trivial pursuit' that acknowledges God as 'the giver of laughter, pleasures, and joy.'”
