Evangelical Christians are perhaps the most polarizing—and least understood—people living in America today. In his seminal new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, journalist Tim Alberta, himself a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement.

Great book read well
Revisado: 01-16-24
I thought the book both well researched and well read with a great style, ie moving from interview to interview sharing the author’s journey of discovery.

Biblical womanhood - the belief that God designed women to be submissive wives, virtuous mothers, and joyful homemakers - pervades North American Christianity. From choices about careers to roles in local churches to relationship dynamics, this belief shapes the everyday lives of evangelical women. Yet biblical womanhood isn't biblical, says Baylor University historian Beth Allison Barr. It was born in a series of clearly definable historical moments.

Well worth listening to
Revisado: 08-31-22
While the reading is a bit dramatic that distracted from thinking (but not overly so), this work was well worth hearing. One has to remember that it is popular and the author does not claim theological credentials, but her grasp of church history is voluminous and her coverage of relevant biblical texts seemed complete. I was sympathetic before reading the book, but the book awoke in me a desire to dialogue. Too bad books cannot talk back. And the Foucauldian assertion of unstated motives makes one wonder if dialogue is invited. Still it was well worth the listen and the continued reflection. I recommend it as an introduction to a major issue that will or should open eyes.

Celebrity—defined as social power without proximity—has led to abuses of power, the cultivation of persona, and a fixation on profits. In light of the fall of famous Christian leaders in recent years, the time has come for the church to reexamine its relationship to celebrity. Award-winning journalist Katelyn Beaty explores the ways fame has reshaped the American church, explains how and why celebrity is woven into the fabric of the evangelical movement, and identifies many ways fame has gone awry in recent years.

Great warning with wise words
Revisado: 08-28-22
Her ability to appreciate the good in famous people and the danger when it warps into celebrity culture is remarkable and her advice in pointing to solutions is the wisdom of the ages. Well written and well read.

Nearly 40 years ago, Ralph Martin's best-selling A Crisis of Truth exposed the damaging trends in Catholic teaching and preaching that, combined with attacks from secular society, threatened the mission and life of the Catholic Church. While much has been done to counter false teaching over the last four decades, today the church faces even more insidious threats from outside and within. In A Church in Crisis: Pathways Forward, Martin offers a detailed look at the growing hostility to the Catholic Church and its teaching.

Mixed quality
Revisado: 09-06-21
It is unusual to hear an author read his own book, and that was interesting, but the quality of the text was mixed. He sometimes was discussing documented statements and actions, sometimes even with context, but he would mix that with a lot of innuendo from what others implied or did or the like. Eventually I realized that it was not good for my soul, according to St Thomas More. I wish the author knew about Jesuit education and had looked at Pope Francis’ statements and quips in their full context. It would also help if he realized that he repeatedly passes Our Lady of Silence in his apartment. There are problems, and in some areas they could be called crisis. Some of the calls for care were fine. But the mixture with rumors, “someone said that he said,” interpreting silence, and made one want to doubt the things that were actually documented, as well as go to confession for having listened to many sections of the text.
