Faith in a Pluralist Age

World Religions

“With a skilled blend of appreciation and criticism, Faith in a Pluralist Age engages Peter Berger’s celebrated declaration that pluralism, not secularity, is modernity’s companion. From the risks posed by cognitive contamination of immigrant value-systems, to the ‘gender bargain’ faced by evangelical women in Brazil, contributors engage Berger and the pluralist conditions he theorizes. Christians grappling with a world in which ‘everyone is disestablished’ will be well served by this timely volume.”

Introduction to Political Science

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A singular contribution to the discipline and to Christian scholarship. Van Geest organizes the work so as to integrate Christian perspective seamlessly into widely recognized ways of engaging the discipline, moving from foundational values to institutions, policy, and international relations. The book may thus be read with benefit by those inside and outside the Christian community. But Van Geest doesn't presume the positive influence of all Christian political initiatives, as one might at first presume, given his own commitments. Instead, he invites the reader into a well-informed consideration of the arguments for and against various kinds of Christian political activism. In the world of political science textbooks, this one stands out because it stands essentially alone, unapologetically Christian. It is a well-researched resource that will benefit many a student of political science.”
