Poems Written in a Time of Plague

Arts & Literature

“Poet, priest, and scholar, Tim Vivian responds to a modern crisis with ancient wisdom. As a biblical scholar and student of monastic spirituality, Vivian writes with the combined voice of a modern American prophet and an ancient Egyptian theologian. The poems lament our sin, ponder the cross, and exult in the resurrection. . . . Vivian writes with grace about tears, tears that arise from our human realities and tears that celebrate our gladness and joy.”

Religion and American Culture

History & Biography

“With measured prose Marsden’s Religion and American Culture deftly illuminates the consistently central role of people of faith in our country’s history. Often dealing with matters that have been overheated by insistent polemics, Marsden broad-mindedly lets the chips fall where they may, allowing churches their role in sowing seeds both evil and good. The book is especially innovative when showing the role of Protestantism, Catholicism, and Judaism in elite political and intellectual circles from the 1870s to the 1970s.”
