‘A New Kind of Christianity’ by Brian McLaren
A New Kind of Christianity is nothing like I expected it to be. I assumed that I was picking up another defense of the Emergent Church tradition. What I picked up, instead, was the first truly Emergent volume of systematic theology. I know… I was confused too. Continue reading
Book Review: Wrestling with Questions
Wrestling with Questions: An Introduction to Contemporary Theologies, by Gregory C. Higgins, is an excellent book for those looking for a brief and informative introduction to the most prominent theologians and theological movements in 20th century. Continue reading
Book Review: The Justice Project
I highly recommend The Justice Project to anyone concerned with faith’s intersection with the public sphere. With that said, I do not think that any review I can write will do this book justice (pun intended). Nevertheless, I will try to encapsulate this excellent book and my thoughts on it Continue reading
Book Review: It’s Really All About God
Perhaps I am just overly pessimistic, but based on its title this book wasn’t what I expected. I mean that in a good way. It’s Really All About God is an overflow of love and hope for the future of religion. Whereas many interfaith dialogs seek to blur distinctions, mixing the world’s religions into a monochromatic stew of ethic teachings, Samir Selmanovic takes an alternative route. He asks, “Can God be found in those outside of my religious tradition?”. As a result, It’s Really All About God provides its reader with complimentary ways of understanding and experiencing God, despite their religious background. Continue reading

Book Review: Beyond Foundationalism: Shaping Theology in a Postmodern Context
Is an Evangelical faith still possible in light of the rise of postmodernity? Must one choose between universal standards or radical relativism? Or can postmodernity provide a new form of foundation from which an Evangelical theology can grow? Continue reading
Book Review: Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl by N.D. Wilson
Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl: Wide Eyed Wonder in God’s Spoken World by N.D. Wilson is an untraditional, yet still fabulous read. The premise of the book is, essentially, Wilson’s meandering through topics such as life and death, the existence of God, the existence of evil, and a weird fascination with Friedirch Nietzsche. Continue reading
This couldn’t wait for the review…
I’m presently reading Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl by N.D. Wilson and just stumbled across a paragraph that couldn’t wait for my review… Continue reading
Book Review: A Lover’s Quarrel with the Evangelical Church
A Lover’s Quarrel with the Evangelical Church instantly reminded me of the ominous opening to a popular album: “The car is on fire, and there’s no driver at the wheel…” Continue reading

Book Review: Evangelical Chrisitan Women by Julie Ingersoll
[Evangelical Christian Women by Julie Ingersoll]
This is one of those books that I feel uncomfortable critiquing. As an evangelical man, I feel as though reading this book was equivocal to eavesdropping on someone else’s conversation; as though I should just be glad to have listened in. However, eavesdropping or not, here are my thoughts on ‘Evangelical Christian Women: War Stories in the Gender Battles’. Continue reading
Fight Club on God
Fight Club on God “I’ve met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, “Why?” Why did I cause so much pain? Didn’t I realize that each of us … Continue reading

‘The Unwritten’ This image caught my attention this morning while reading this week’s comic reviews. It is from a comic titled ‘The Unwritten’. I cannot vouch for the comic book, but this preview definitely has me intrigued. Comic Reviews @ … Continue reading
Really?!? (Another rambling about fundamentalism with pro-wrestlers and star wars mixed in)
Really?!?! Check out the newest book by “World-renowned Evangelist” Perry Stone: READ THE BOOK THAT SECULAR STORES WOULD NOT SELL! After examining the content, publishers were too hesitant to offer this in secular bookstores! It may be chapter 11 that got their attention. … Continue reading
