Bulwarks of Unbelief: Atheism and Divine Absence in a Secular Age

Joseph Minich (Lexham Press)

A small cottage industry has emerged orbiting around Charles Taylor’s magnum opus A Secular Age. These books praise A Secular Age for its enormous breadth and perceptive insights, only to follow this up with “But…” Joseph Minich’s book is yet another to add to that genre. Bulwarks of Unbelief: Atheism and Divine Absence in a Secular Age is a dense, at times convoluted book that seeks to offer another viewpoint/perspective into how modern Western culture lost belief in God.

Tradition and Apocalypse: An Essay on the Future of Christian Belief

David Bentley Hart (Baker Academic)

Tradition has been a formidable, venerable concept for many Christians with many believers holding to the “Vincentian canon” of St. Vincent of Lérins of the fourth century that holds to “what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all.” Yet Hart interrogates this very formulation.

What About the Baby?: Some Thoughts on the Art of Fiction

Alice McDermott (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)

McDermott marvels at the ways in which good fiction and individual lines, characters, or scenes can “come back to me - unbidden sometimes,” sometimes long after we have first read them.

The Politics of the Cross: A Christian Alternative to Partisanship

Daniel K. Williams (Eerdmans)

Williams writes both professionally and confessionally as a believer; he continues to offer astute analysis and rigorous nuance as he delves into American history to explain the developments that led to the present, but he also draws readers’ attentions to biblical injunctions about how we should operate in today’s increasingly complex world.

England Before and After Wesley: The Evangelical Revival and Social Reform

J. Wesley Bready, republished with new foreword by Michael Tymchak and Abraham Ninan (Regent College Publishing)

Amid the chaos and confusion of today’s polarized political climate, in which ideological opponents routinely caricature one another and history is often read in a manner devoid of all nuance, this republication of J. Wesley Bready’s classic work comes as a welcome development. Focusing primarily on the towering figure of John Wesley and his impact on evangelical revival and social reform in 18th century England, Bready demonstrates the inextricable link between living Christian faith and the humanizing and ameliorative social transformations of the period.

On the Road with Saint Augustine

James K. A. Smith (Brazos Press)

Not only engaging, but also well-written, and theologically faithful to the best of the Christian tradition, it is also a really important book to appear in our culture at this point in time. Augustine, Smith reminds us, is Christianity’s primary teacher on the quest for self-identity.

"The Lord's Prayer" and "The Ten Commandments"

The Lexham Press Christian Essentials Series are mercifully short (about 100 pages), and very readable. Below are my brief reflections on the two most recently published books in the series, "The Lord’s Prayer: A Guide to Praying to Our Father" by Wesley Hill, and "The Ten Commandments, A Guide to the Perfect Law of Liberty" by Peter Leithart.

The Preacher's Wife

Kate Bowler (Princeton University Press)

From the early days of Christianity to the present, women have been instrumental in the life of the Church. St. Paul writes to his protege Timothy “I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you” (2 Tim. 1:5); Timothy’s faith was dependent upon his female family members instructing him in the ways of Jesus. From Timothy’s time to our present, women have served faithfully as mentors, "prayer warriors," missionaries, evangelists, and inspiring performers, even as they have had to contend with patriarchs who seek to limit and even silence women from speaking and teaching authoritatively.
