"Matthew Bonzo and Michael Stevens here provide us with the
clearest and most cordially inclined, but still clear-eyed,
overview of Berry that I have seen to date. As the
green-theology/neo-agrarian movement grows, this kind of careful
reconsideration and assessment of its saints, forerunners, and
older protagonists becomes increasingly pertinent and, indeed, even
necessary."--Phyllis Tickle, author, "The Great Emergence"
"Over the past fifty years Wendell Berry has given witness to a
vision of our life together that is proving to be indispensable and
prophetic. Bonzo and Stevens have gleaned a rich harvest from this
vision, showing that Berry's voice is one today's church cannot
ignore. "Wendell Berry and the Cultivation of Life" is an excellent
introduction and guide for those seeking a better, healthier, saner
world."--Norman Wirzba, Duke Divinity School
"I have long ranked Wendell Berry among my most trustworthy
guides as I have picked my way through the distorting and
corrupting seductions of American culture. For forty years, in a
succession of novels and poems and essays he has been re-ordering
my Christian imagination to cultivate totalities, to live life as a
spiritually organic whole."--Eugene Peterson, Regent College
"Once one is exposed to the comprehensive wit of Wendell Berry,
there is no going back. The question 'What Would Wendell Berry Do?'
comes to inform all manner of decisions in our buying, selling, and
doing. In a treatment that is both wide-ranging and robustly
evangelical, Bonzo and Stevens bring Berry's witness to bear upon
one dim-witted economy after another with an invigorating account
of Berry's more magnanimous economic vision. In a constant call
tolook harder at the world we're in, creation is imagined not as a
resource for endless plundering but rather the place where God's
kingdom, the great economy, comes, offering the hospitality that
sustains, our only home and our only hope."--David Dark, author,
"The Gospel According to America"
