Hope
in Troubled Times: A New Vision for
Confronting Global Crises -- A book with a title that
indicates what it really does. "Hope
in Troubled Times pulls off the difficult feat of communicating, in a
gracious and nonjudgmental way, the dire straits in which our society
finds itself today. Others have used the concept of idolatry as a
category of social critique; no one has ever used it with such
biblically-informed power and specificity. The analysis is sobering; no
punches are pulled. But the ultimate context is hope, not despair. It's
a remarkable achievement."-- Nicholas
Wolterstorff, Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology,
Yale Divinity School.
