Mutual Treasure: Seeking Better Ways for Christians and Culture to Converse
Rejecting both Christian withdrawal from and confrontational approaches to culture, this book calls for engaging others by coming alongside them, building relationships of trust through which to seek mutual treasure. In addition to the editors, contributors include (in order of appearance) Stephen V. Monsma, James E. Waller, Paul DeWeese, Susan Emmerich, David Thom, Jack Hafer, Marvin R. Wilson, Tammy Krause.
Comment: “These essays show us concrete ways in which Christians can authentically engage culture without simple condemnation or compromise.” —Jeanne Heffernan Schindler, Assistant Professor, Department of Humanities, Villanova University.
“Representing a variety of theological streams within the larger evangelical family, the authors provide practical suggestions for engaging our culture in dialogue about some of the most challenging issues we face.” —Loren Swartzendruber, President, Eastern Mennonite University
“These contributors speak with authority; they link practice with principle creatively; they are seeking out new paths for linking faith and scholarship. The book deserves careful attention—read it and think!” —Mark Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame
The editors do not just argue that Christians can be more effective agents of redemption by respectful dialogue than by confrontation; they present eight highly diverse and imaginative case studies in which this actually happened.” —Nicholas Wolterstorff, Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology, Yale University
“In an era in which biting partisanship has come to characterize what passes for public discourse, the contributors offer a very different, irenic model.” —Randall Balmer, Professor of American Religious History at Barnard College, Columbia University, and Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Washington, CT
