Sin, death, and the devil, called "the unholy trinity" by Martin
Luther, are the classic biblical tyrants. This volume, which takes
its cue from John Paul II's description of Western society as a
"culture of death," unveils the faces of sin, death, and the devil
in modern culture. Far from being pessimistic, however, these
engaging chapters by eight recognized theologians take care to
affirm God's victory over the diabolical forces that oppress
humanity--a victory continually realized through the proclamation
of the gospel and the sacraments of the church. Contributors: Gary
A. Anderson, Carl E. Braaten, Vigen Guroian, Stanley Hauerwas,
Robert W. Jenson, Gilbert Meilaender, Richard John Neuhaus, and A.
N. Williams.
The contributors to this volume argue forthrightly that neopaganism
is not merely an objective threat from outside the walls of the
church; in fact, gnostic forms of thought and spirituality permeate
the church's inner life under such guises as "pluralism,"
"multiculturalism," "feminism," and "hospitality." Their essays are
a direct attack on once-Bible-centered doctrine that is now being
mingled with "alternatives" that are inherently hostile to the
Christian faith. Contributors: Robert W. Jenson, Carl E. Braaten,
Joseph-Augustine DiNoia, James R. Crumley, Robert L. Wilken, K.
Paul Wesche, L. Gregory Jones
