Complete London Writings
$54.99An intimate account of spiritual death and resurrection
The Complete London Writings present the spiritual and theological journal of a man revived by God’s word. German philosopher Johann Georg Hamann, destitute and depressed in London in 1758, bought a King James Bible on impulse. Within a month of reading it cover to cover, he was convicted of his sin and converted to Christ. His reading inspired him to write meditations on the entire Bible and reexamine the course of his life.
In these Writings, Hamann reflects on his life, the Scriptures, and faith. A combination of autobiography, philosophy, theology, and biblical exegesis, Hamann’s work has been compared to Augustine’s Confessions. Translated into English for the first time by John W. Kleinig, The Complete London Writings bring Hamann’s thought to a new audience.

Gospel After Christendom
$26.99Even after Christendom, our culture is fertile ground for gospel renewal. We need apologetics for the whole church tailored to this moment.
Since the fall of Christendom, Christians in Western countries can no longer assume their neighbors share basic familiarity with the Bible or even a sense for God. We now face a strange mixture of apathy and antagonism toward the gospel. Some people view Christianity as yesterday’s news. For others, it’s the source of today’s problems. Lately, though, more and more are open to the idea that Christianity may be tomorrow’s hope.
Amid these confusing and conflicting shifts, we need apologetics for the whole church and not just for those who enjoy arguing. Cultural apologetics can help uncover opportunities to proclaim the gospel as the only way to fulfill longings for truth, beauty, and goodness. Churches that embrace this approach can be strengthened and renewed as they demonstrate an appealing and convicting way of life that stands out in the world.
In The Gospel after Christendom, scholars and practitioners from the Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics define cultural apologetics, explain its biblical and historical grounding, and demonstrate its importance for the church today. Their diverse viewpoints, united in the gospel, offer a balanced approach that can guide Christians to share the Good News with their neighbors in this challenging but exciting time.

Story Of The Trinity
$18.99One God. Three Persons. But how?
– Discover the incredible true story of how Christians came to understand the doctrine of the Trinity
– Understand the Nicene Creed as a beautiful and balanced confession of our faith
– From a dynamic writer and respected professor
Christians believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God in three persons. Yet many would be hard-pressed to explain why they believe this, or even where it might be found in Scripture. In engaging, accessible prose, The Story of the Trinity relates the settings, characters, and conflicts that led to the Council of Nicaea and the creation of the Nicene Creed, a simple yet beautiful statement of faith that expresses core Christian beliefs that continue to be affirmed worldwide.
Rather than getting bogged down in dry semantics, Bryan M. Litfin recounts the dynamic story of how the one God revealed himself as triune in both the Old and New Testaments, unfolding this core doctrine of the church so that it not only makes sense, but brings glory to God and expresses the true nature of the gospel.

In Your Light We See Light
$34.99“And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” -John 17:3
In Your Light We See Light: A Reformed Theology of Divine Illumination argues that the doctrine of illumination is Trinitarian and participatory. We cannot know God apart from God. The Triune God transfers us from darkness to light, so we may see him, ourselves, and the world anew. Illumination is not merely cognitive; it turns a heart of stone into a heart of flesh. It involves life with God-hearing and being transformed by God’s word.
Paul C. Uyen begins with Scripture before retrieving the doctrine of illumination from Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Reformed traditions, and revealing their areas of tension. Uyen articulates a Reformed perspective in conversation with other traditions.

Story Of God And Us
Original price was: $19.99.$11.97Current price is: $11.97.Pastor and author Jonathan Murphy provides readers with a framework–a master plot–to the story of all history. This deep exploration of Scripture reveals that God is in complete command of this universe and how He guides everyone’s story: past, present, and future.
Good stories make you laugh, cry, fear, dream, hope. They engage our hearts, entertain our minds, and enlighten our souls. God wrote a story–the best story ever!–full of drama, adventure, love, sacrifice, redemption, and has an ending that seems too good to be true. And the greatest thing about God’s story is that we are all part of it. His story provides the meaning of life that brings fulfillment of our desires and purpose for our existence.?
The Story of God and Us shows not only what God is doing from creation to eternity, but how everything makes sense as you read the Bible from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation. World history is not made up of random people and events but of divine appointment and purpose. In this book, Jonathan Murphy leads readers to understand how:
*the meaning of life is essential to a fulfilling relationship and partnership with God;
*God accomplishes His plans in a pleasing and connecting way;
*a multidimensional view of Scripture can engage and delight even the most disinterested and distracted; and
*seeing the big picture can provide a fresh look at how our story clearly fits into God’s.
As Jonathan retells God’s story through a fresh lens, Christians will better understand how much God loves them, how He desires us to live with Him and for Him, and why we should invite others into this amazing story every chance that we get!

Gospel Way Catechism
$15.99Reclaiming an Ancient Tool of Faith Formation for Our Secular Age
In a world overflowing with competing ideas about meaning and purpose, it’s more important than ever to embrace the gospel story as the ultimate lens through which we understand life.
For centuries, Christians have relied on catechisms–question-and-answer summaries of faith–to teach the faith and disciple new believers. The Gospel Way Catechism reclaims this powerful practice, explaining 50 essential Christian beliefs in a clear, Q&A format.
But it doesn’t stop there. Each answer not only clarifies the core tenets of faith, but also equips you to identify and challenge today’s common, yet powerful, cultural narratives. As you are formed by biblical answers to essential questions about God, life, and faith, you will also be counter-formed so you can identify the shortcomings of secular scripts and subvert them with the gospel.
Suitable for individual, group, and church-wide study, this discipleship tool provides an effective antidote to Western culture’s inherent self-centeredness. Let this guide strengthen your faith and empower you to be salt and light in a culture desperate for meaning.

Coming Millennial Kingdom
$18.99Live in Anticipation of Christ’s Coming Kingdom!

Christ Triumphs Over Sin And Death
$14.99Daniel’s prayer and seventy-week prophecy in Daniel 9 is unique and epic.
With Israel being in exile nearly seven decades, Daniel was eager for the nation’s physical and spiritual restoration. However, the Lord revealed that His plans for Israel would reach into the distant future, encompassing a period of seventy weeks.
In this remarkable revelation, God outlined a precise chronology when Christ would come and die to achieve redemption, and when the Antichrist would rise and reign but ultimately be destroyed.
At the end, Christ will return, conquer the Antichrist, destroy Israel’s enemies, and cause all Israel to turn to Him in repentance. Establishing universal and absolute peace, Christ will usher in His millennial kingdom and reign as King over all the earth.

When Jesus Christ returns, the whole world will bow to him as Lord-Prophet, Priest, and King.

Judaism Is About Love
$21.00A profound, startling new understanding of Jewish life, illuminating the forgotten heart of Jewish theology and practice: love.
A dramatic misinterpretation of the Jewish tradition has shaped the history of the West: Christianity is the religion of love, and Judaism the religion of law. In the face of centuries of this widespread misrepresentation, Rabbi Shai Held–one of the most important Jewish thinkers in America today–recovers the heart of the Jewish tradition, offering the radical and moving argument that love belongs as much to Judaism as it does to Christianity. Blending intellectual rigor, a respect for tradition and the practices of a living Judaism, and a commitment to the full equality of all people, Held seeks to reclaim Judaism as it authentically is. He shows that love is foundational and constitutive of true Jewish faith, animating the singular Jewish perspective on injustice and protest, grace, family life, responsibilities to our neighbors and even our enemies, and chosenness.
Ambitious and revelatory, Judaism Is About Love illuminates the true essence of Judaism–an act of restoration from within.

Foremost Problems Of Contemporary Dogmatics
$49.99Herman Bavinck on the challenges theologians face
*Herman Bavinck’s counsel to theologians
*A unique window into Bavinck’s thought
*An overlooked work from a key Neo-Calvinist thinkerIn The Foremost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics, Herman Bavinck identifies the primary challenges confronting Protestant theologians in the early twentieth century. Since the main difficulties do not concern specific heads of doctrine but arise in theological method, Bavinck’s focus narrows to the act of faith. Bavinck demonstrates the necessity of viewing faith as knowledge rather than mere trust, recounting the development of doctrine from the biblical authors through the dawn of the twentieth century. This book provides a unique window into Bavinck’s thought, as he speaks candidly about the limitations and failures of Reformed theology and the relative merits of modern thinkers.
The Foremost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics was a series of lectures delivered at the Free University shortly after Bavinck moved to Amsterdam in 1902. Edited and translated by Gert de Kok and Bruce R. Pass, these previously unpublished lectures are available for the first time in English.

Raised In Splendor
$17.99When most ponder on the Christian walk, they will likely run up on terms such as justification, sanctification, and glorification. This famous trio points to the faith that justifies the believer, the life in which the believer is sanctified through the gaining of wisdom through the reading of Scripture, the testing of life in a broken world, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, but many simply view glorification as the final part of the journey, as if it does not have an important reality for the believer today.
We live in a world where the idea of being glorified is either viewed through the lens of something that will eventually come, but has little importance now, or has an overfocused importance where believers only focus on their entry into heaven. Both are wrongfooted. Pastor and Theologian Jason Alligood provides a message of hope for the thoughtful Christian today. In Raised in Splendor, Jason Alligood communicates the hope of glory that transcends the fears and frustrations of a secular age that not only points to the hope for the future glorification, but that this hope is one that can be enjoyed and appreciated today.

Makers By Nature
$28.00An Artist’s Look at Theology, Art, and Philosophy
Dear Tom,
Thanks for writing again-and for this unusually philosophical response to my letter! In response: my theology of art is my theology. Period. I think of God as the Artist and all human artists as eternal apprentices. Consequently, all my thinking about God involves the centrality of beauty and the act of making. As I’ve said many times, we were made by a Maker to be makers. . . .
BruceIn a series of fictional letters, respected artist and educator Bruce Herman passes on wisdom to a younger generation. He explores a wide array of practical, philosophical, and theological issues, such as:
*What is art versus craft? What is good art?
*What is the calling of an artist? Of a Christian artist?
*What do you do when you’re stuck in your creative process?
*How should Christians relate to the contemporary art scene?
*What is beauty, and how is it relevant in our world?Full of personal stories and behind-the-scene looks at Herman’s own artistic process, Makers by Nature also features full-color artwork by Herman and several of his former students. Artists and art lovers will find insight, wonder, and encouragement to consider the Maker’s invitation to creativity, however it takes shape.

Prophet In The Darkness
$36.99Many consider Georges Rouault (1871-1958) to be one of the most important religious painters of the last few centuries. Yet both the secular art world and the church have struggled to engage with his work, which is profoundly shaped by his Christian faith and also starkly explores the pain and darkness of human experience.
In this volume, a group of theologians, artists, and historians seek to bring Rouault out of the shadows. They offer a deeper understanding of the theological impulse of modern art and of Rouault’s distinct contributions. Chapters explore how Rouault’s unique work was influenced by his historical context, by personal suffering, and by biblical themes, especially the Passion of Christ. Essays are interspersed with original artistic responses to Rouault in the form of images and poetry, with contributions from Sandra Bowden, William A. Dyrness, Thomas Hibbs, Soo Kang, and others.
Rouault displays our need for mercy within a world of anguish. This book explores how his prophetic creativity continues to inspire artists and thinkers seeking to understand the powerful intersection of lament and hope.
The Studies in Theology and the Arts? series encourages Christians to thoughtfully engage with the relationship between their faith and artistic expression, with contributions from both theologians and artists on a range of artistic media including visual art, music, poetry, literature, film, and more.

Markus Barth : His Life And Legacy
$39.99A Definitive Biography of the Twentieth-Century Thinker
“Certainly, in all my work my dependence upon my father will be visible, and, so I hope, a testimony to his life’s work will be given. But on the whole, I have never attempted simply to represent or promote his work, but rather within the narrow frame of my competence in exegetical matters, to contribute to it.” -Markus Barth, 1985
Though he has long been undervalued and remained in the shadow of his famous father, Markus Barth was a significant, groundbreaking thinker in his own right. He was a pastor, New Testament scholar, and theologian working in both Switzerland (Basel) and the United States (Dubuque, Chicago, and Pittsburgh), whose life intertwined with major developments in theology and modern history.
In this book, theologian Mark Lindsay provides the first biography of Markus Barth (1915-1994), eldest son of Karl Barth. Drawing from a hitherto unparalleled access to the extensive collection of Markus Barth’s private letters and papers, including those in the Special Collections at Princeton Theological Seminary, Lindsay puts Barth’s story and thought into historical context. He explores multiple aspects of Barth’s life, including family and early years, pastoral work, scholarship, and enduring legacy. Lindsay identifies three main areas of Barth’s contributions: his New Testament scholarship; his theology of the sacraments; and his pioneering, though not uncontroversial, work in Jewish-Christian relations.

Triumph Of The Rising
$14.99New book series from bestselling author John MacArthur on the great chapters of the Bible
Taken from the MacArthur New Testament Commentary on 1 Corinthians, this book equips believers with transforming truth by explaining Paul’s treatment of the doctrine of the resurrection. Chapters include:
*The Evidence for Christ’s Resurrection
*The Importance of Bodily Resurrection
*The Resurrection Plan
*Resurrection Incentives
*Our Resurrection Bodies
*Victory Over DeathIn 1 Corinthians 15, Paul delivers the most extensive treatment of the resurrection in all of Scripture. As the heart pumps life-giving blood to every part of the body, so the truth of the resurrection gives life to every area of gospel truth.
The resurrection is the pivot on which all of Christianity turns and without which none of the other truths would much matter. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Christianity would be mere wishful thinking, taking its place alongside all other systems of human philosophy and religious speculation. Paul, however, declares that Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, therefore all who are in Christ Jesus will also be raised to life.

Angels And Demons
$17.99Christians in Bible-believing churches often do not receive explicit teaching on angels because expositional sermons focus on the meaning of the text-and the biblical authors are rarely focused on discussing angels. The consequence is that legends or superstitions often cloud our reflections about supernatural beings. Pastors also rarely receive in-depth exposure to this subject in seminary. This book satisfies a need for teaching about the angels for a popular audience who want to speak and think biblical about the spiritual realm, especially because many books on angels teach speculative views or borrow their ideas from other religions of the ancient near east.

Faith And Science
$21.99In Faith and Science: A Primer for a Hypernatural World, Kenneth Keathley argues that, rather than acting as opposing forces, scientific inquiry and the Christian faith go hand-in-hand.
In his mission to offer a fully integrated theology of science, Keathley begins with the Lordship of Christ and the sufficiency of Scripture. He characterizes the study of science as a providential gift and a worthy vocation with Christian origins. Keathley then examines the twin challenges of scientism and fideism, observing their deficiencies as comprehensive worldviews. After defending Galileo as a scientist-theologian, Keathley offers readers a model for how to integrate their Christian faith with their scientific pursuits.
Faith and Science provides a ready primer for students and everyday Christians to challenge their preconceptions about faith and science and to develop a more robust worldview to guide their examinations of our hypernatural world.
The Christ in Everything series exists to demonstrate how Christ is connected to all of life. The primers in this series serve as introductions to important cultural topics, including science, freedom, politics, beauty, and the nature of truth. Each book offers a biblical and theological framework from which to view and approach the topic at hand, followed by examples for how to walk in the way of Jesus in that cultural domain.

Crisis Of Civil Law
$22.99How should Christians think about law?
In every age, this is one of the most difficult questions faced by followers of Christ. Within the modern church, there is little unity on how Scripture addresses issues like gun control, abortion, and disobedience of an unjust law. In The Crisis of Civil Law, legal scholar Benjamin B. Saunders draws from Scripture and Christian tradition to provide valuable guidance on contemporary legal questions and the role of civil government. We can gain greater clarity by wisely applying the moral law found in Scripture–as well as the universal standards of the natural law–to the changing circumstances of human societies.
The Crisis of Civil Law includes detailed discussion of the biblical material on law as well as practical case studies that contextualize scriptural principles in modern Western society.

Both Muslims and Christians are largely ignorant what the other believes and why there is still relentless tension on the earth.
This book focuses on the fundamental irreconcilable differences between the Christian and Islamic faiths, that are rooted in the texts of the Quran and Bible, and is written from experience in both faiths.

1 God One Way Christ Or Muhammad
$24.99The promise and importance of God’s Messiah is undisputedly acknowledged by the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims.
Who is this Messiah?
The Bible and the Quran both recognizes Christ Jesus as the promised Messiah and directs their followers to accept the Gospel brought to mankind through Him. However, while the Quran commands to recognize the teachings of Jesus, an average Muslim remains unknowledgable to Christ’s proclamation and promises.
The big divide is that Jesus claims to be divine and the Bible declares Him to be God incarnate. However, Islam is only willing to credit Christ as a mortal man, a prophet with a message from God (Allah) but not God himself.
This book unravels the Islamic precepts pertaining to Jesus in the Quran itself, while bluntly showcases the bold statements of divinity and the offering of one singular path to man’s eternal salvation made by Christ Jesus.

How Should We Then Die
$18.99“My times are in thy hand.”
*Explains why physician-assisted death is attractive
*Makes a case for the value of life and wrongness of killing
*Argues from general revelation and Scripture
*Helps Christians undercut the logic of euthanasiaAs more people accept the practice of physician-assisted death, Christians must decide whether to embrace or oppose it. Is it ethical for physicians to assist patients in hastening their own death? Should Christians who are facing death accept the offer of an assisted death?
In How Should We then Die?, physician Ewan Goligher draws from general revelation and Scripture to persuade and equip Christians to oppose physician-assisted death. Euthanasia presumes what it is like to be dead. But for Christians, death is not the end. Christ Jesus has destroyed death and brought life and immortality through the gospel.

Wood Between The Worlds
$24.99The cross is the heart of Scripture
Everything about the gospel message leads to the cross, and proceeds from the cross. In fact, within the narrative of Scripture, the crucifixion of Jesus is literally the crux of the story-the axis upon which the biblical story turns. But it would be a mistake to think we could sum up the significance of the crucifixion in a tidy sentence or two. That kind of thinking only insulates us from the magnificence of what God has done. In our ongoing quest to make meaning of the cross, we need to recognize that this conversation will never conclude-that there is always something more to be said.
Brian Zahnd reminds us that the meaning of the cross is multifaceted and should touch every aspect of our lives. Just as gazing through the eyepiece of a kaleidoscope reveals a new geometric image with every turn, Zahnd helps us see that there are infinite ways to behold the cross of Christ as the beautiful form that saves the world. The Wood Between the Worlds is an invitation to encounter the cross of Christ anew.

Artistic Sphere : The Arts In Neo-Calvinist Perspective
$45.99While some Christians have embraced the relationship between faith and the arts, the Reformed tradition tends to harbor reservations about the arts.
However, among Reformed churches, the Neo-Calvinist tradition-as represented in the work of Abraham Kuyper, Herman Dooyeweerd, Hans Rookmaaker, and others-has consistently demonstrated not just a willingness but a desire to engage with all manner of cultural and artistic expressions.
This volume, edited by art scholar Roger Henderson and Marleen Hengelaar-Rookmaaker, the daughter of art historian and cultural critic Hans Rookmaaker, brings together history, philosophy, and theology to consider the relationship between the arts and the Neo-Calvinist tradition. With affirmations including the Lordship of Christ, the cultural mandate, sphere sovereignty, and common grace, the Neo-Calvinist tradition is well-equipped to offer wisdom on the arts to the whole body of Christ.

Fundamentalists In The Public Square
$29.99A myth-busting work on fundamentalists and culture
The Scopes Trial of 1925 is often regarded as a turning point in the history of American fundamentalism and evangelicalism. It is claimed that Scopes was a public relations defeat that sent fundamentalism into retreat from mainstream culture.
In Fundamentalists in the Public Square: Evolution, Alcohol, and the Culture Wars after the Scopes Trial, Madison Trammel argues that such a characterization is misguided. Using documentary evidence from newspapers in the 1920s and 1930s, Trammel shows that fundamentalists remained fully active in seeking to transform the culture for Christ, and they remained so through the rise of Billy Graham’s ministry.
Grounded in historical evidence, Fundamentalists in the Public Square offers a fresh take on the relationship between fundamentalism, evangelicalism, and the public square.

Finding Assurance With Thomas Goodwin
$18.99Glory in nothing but that you are in Christ
In Finding Assurance with Thomas Goodwin, Andrew S. Ballitch explores how deeply the doctrine of assurance of faith impacted Goodwin’s life and how Christians can learn from him today. Doubt is a common Christian experience, and assurance of faith is a universal Christian desire. The Puritans were acutely aware of this reality–none more than Thomas Goodwin (1600-1680). Goodwin wrestled with doubt for seven years after his conversion. When assurance came, it was with joy and confidence that Christ was for him personally. His confidence fueled a life of holiness, service, and perseverance. Ballitch highlights how Goodwin’s life informed his theology and vice versa, so that readers can experience for themselves the joys of assurance.

Christ The Center
$32.99Scripture is a beautiful mosaic of Christ.
The earliest Christians expressed their faith with creativity through symbols and summaries. In Christ the Center, Tomas Bokedal explores the relationship of the rule of faith, the nomina sacra, and numerical patterns with Scripture. The nomina sacra scribal reverence for divine names within Scripture displays remarkable intentionality and theological reflection. The nomina sacra in turn directed the emerging rule of faith. These scribal practices reveal early devotional and theological preoccupation and guided the text’s shape and interpretation in the early centuries after Christ.
Christ the Center showcases early Christian reverence for Scripture and especially for the One of whom Scripture speaks.

Theos Starter Pack
$24.98Recovering…Timeless Truths
Like an online starter pack meme, Theos Starter Pack: Toward a Recovery of Essential Christianity is designed to provoke a response.
The book includes twenty essays by a motley crew of Bible geeks who are all active in church ministry and teach at TheosU, an online, nondenominational Bible college.
The focus is on recovering the roots of Christianity–recovering the way we teach, recovering the Bible’s grand narrative, recovering Christian liberty, recovering apocalyptic, and much more.
Each writer “takes into consideration the ageless tradition of Christianity that has been handed down through the centuries, resisting the cultural soup and integrating timeless thinking into an approach that works for the present day,” explains Chris Palmer, TheosU dean. This book is a lifeline “to pull yourself out of the soup.”
You may laugh. You may run to your Bible. You may reach out to one of the writers to share a few choice words. But no matter what, these essayists hope you will be inspired and come away with rich theological insights.
Theos Starter Pack recovers beautiful elements of ancient Christianity that have been lost or shoved aside in modern society. It’s food for the souls of those who long for a return to the roots of our faith.

After Dispensationalism : Reading The Bible For The End Of The World
$29.99What God wants his people to know about the end times.
Christians’ fixation on the end times is not new. While eschatological speculation has sometimes resulted in distraction or despair, Scripture does speak about the end. So what does God most want us to know and do with prophecy?
In After Dispensationalism, Brian P. Irwin and Tim Perry sympathetically yet critically sketch the history, beliefs, and concerns of dispensationalism. Though a minority view in the sweep of church history and tradition, dispensationalism is one of the most influential end-times systems today, and there is much to learn from it. And yet, sometimes it gets sidetracked by overlooking the prophets’ main concerns.
Irwin and Perry reexamine the key texts and show that Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation primarily give a word of hope to God’s people.

Biblical Trinity : Encountering The Father, Son, And Holy Spirit In Scriptu
$22.99The Trinity is God as revealed in the Bible.
The Bible doesn’t give us a systematic statement of the doctrine of the Trinity. But that doesn’t mean the Trinity is not biblical.
In The Biblical Trinity: Encountering the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Scripture, Brandon D. Smith proclaims the Trinity from the Bible. The doctrine arises not from a handful of prooftexts but from the fullness of what the Bible says about God. Through short reflections on fifteen key New Testament passages in conversation with the Old Testament, Smith shows how God’s word reveals the Trinity. The book concludes with three rules for how to encounter the truth and beauty of our Triune God in all of Scripture.

Bulwarks Of Unbelief
$32.99How modernity creates atheists–and what the church must do about it.
Millions of people in the West identify as atheists. Christians often respond to this reality with proofs of God’s existence, as though rational arguments for atheism were the root cause of unbelief. In Bulwarks of Unbelief, Joseph Minich argues that a felt absence of God, as experienced by the modern individual, offers a better explanation for the rise in atheism. Recent technological and cultural shifts in the modern West have produced a perceived challenge to God’s existence. As modern technoculture reshapes our awareness of reality and belief in the invisible, it in turn amplifies God’s apparent silence. In this new context, atheism is a natural result. And absent of meaning from without, we have turned within.
Christians cannot escape this aspect of modern life. Minich argues that we must consciously and actively return to reality. If we reattune ourselves to God’s story, reintegrate the whole person, and reinhabit the world, faith can thrive in this age of unbelief.
