Hollow Gods

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Turner understands that while the religious challenges presented by postmodernity are unique, they are also manifestations of the well-established human propensity towards idolatry. As a result, he does not treat postmodernism as a bogeyman. Instead, he seeks to engage it from a biblical perspective, offering a Christian critique to its particular brand of idolatry and some solid practical suggestions that will encourage the reader towards faithful, Christ-honoring lives in our contemporary context.”

What Your Body Knows About God

Science & Faith

“We have all seen stories and read about recent research that links developments in brain science to religious practice. Rob Moll goes beyond individual studies, merging scientific analysis, biblical teaching, a host of interviews and anecdotal accounts to pen What Your Body Knows About God. In it, Moll draws on the work of neurologists, anthropologists, philosophers, evolutionary and cognitive psychologists, sociologists, and molecular biologists to affirm the orthodox Christian understanding that we are designed to connect with God and others. In the same vein, he effectively demonstrates the power of classic Christian practices to affect change in practitioners, employing scientific discoveries in the field of neuroplasticity, for example, to explain how spiritual disciplines lead to transformation. Moll?s knack for presenting thought-provoking material in an easy-going conversational style makes What Your Body Knows About God a pleasure to read. Further, although replete with scientific information, discussions such as the 'neurological costs' of worship as performance and the transformative benefits of multisensory liturgy leave little doubt that Moll?s concern is practical, not theoretical. As such, it is a must read for pastors, ministers, small group leaders and anyone else concerned with the transformation of people.”
