A Christian Approach to Interdisciplinary Studies

Philosophy

“Let's face it. As colleges and universities overhaul their general education, core, and honors programs, let alone their majors, many are replacing the separate disciplines with an interdisciplinary approach, whether faculty like it or not. William Dennison's A Christian Approach to Interdisciplinary Studies arrives just in time to give us the 'ontological integrative starting point' and justification for a Christian approach to IDS. A joy to read, this scholarly work defends and articulates the interdisciplinary approach provided by the Triune God of the Scripture, the 'author of integration.'”

Strangers and Scapegoats

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In Strangers and Scapegoats, Vos writes a Christian sociological study of the strangers and scapegoats in American and Western culture, holding up both a mirror to show us ourselves and a clear lens to show us how we view others—how we maintain our status by keeping strangers in a position that minimizes their threat to us. While readers may not completely agree with Vos’s emphasis or interpretation of events, they will follow his cogent arguments with fascination and find themselves unable to stop reading. He holds us with his thorough research, wide scope of history, vivid narratives and descriptions, overpowering biblical allusions, and depth of insight. This book will be a must-read for sociology courses; it will spark discussion and debate.”

The Crisis of Evangelical Christianity

History & Biography

“The Crisis of Evangelical Christianity is a rich mine of history as well as a minefield for most evangelicals. It provides the basis for an undergraduate or graduate course in the history of Evangelical Christianity, as it invites further investigation, debate, discussion, and possible 'reform.'”
