From Secular City to the Future of Faith

Posted on December 5, 2009

As I continue to read Harvey Cox’s new book The Future of Faith, I wonder about how it compares with his early book The Secular City. The Secular City embraced secularism as an inveitable part of urban development and recognized the privitization of religion. The Future of Faith, however, seems to be opening up to the idea that Christianity may have a grassroots resurgence (it is in Africa and Asia) that restores some of its public potency.

This blog post was a helpful start in examining Cox’s theological journey between the two books.

Advent Preparation

Posted on December 4, 2009

As we continue to observe and celebrate the coming of Christ, here are some Advent devotionals and songs you can get for family and personal preparation.

I hope that you’ll take the time to reflect on the great grace of God in the baffling love of Jesus become babe.

Break away from the tide of buying, getting, and Christless cheer, for a few minutes a week, and center in on Jesus. After all, what good is a Christless Christmas? Instead, let Christ fill your soul with joy and your heart with love as you consider his great grace in giving you life.
