2018 WORLD Magazine Book of the Year - Accessible Theology 2018
ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award Publishers Weekly starred review We
live in a distracted, secular age. These two trends define life in
Western society today. We are increasingly addicted to habits-and
devices-that distract and "buffer" us from substantive reflection
and deep engagement with the world. And we live in what Canadian
philosopher Charles Taylor calls "a secular age"-an age in which
all beliefs are equally viable and real transcendence is less and
less plausible. Drawing on Taylor's work, Alan Noble describes how
these realities shape our thinking and affect our daily lives. Too
often Christians have acquiesced to these trends, and the result
has been a church that struggles to disrupt the ingrained patterns
of people's lives. But the gospel of Jesus is inherently
disruptive: like a plow, it breaks up the hardened surface to
expose the fertile earth below. In this book Noble lays out
individual, ecclesial, and cultural practices that disrupt our
society's deep-rooted assumptions and point beyond them to the
transcendent grace and beauty of Jesus. Disruptive Witness casts a
new vision for the evangelical imagination, calling us away from
abstraction and cliche to a more faithful embodiment of the gospel
for our day.
