Book Description
The Christian myth is entangled with American politics, with the nation's image of its own manifest destiny. 'Christian Mentality' analyses the myths that have shaped America's collective mentality. Concepts that are taken for granted in the formation of American policy - namely power, violence and fear - are examined. The book argues that America must find an image for itself which more truly reflects its reality as a polycultural nation still struggling for social democracy. 'Christian Mentality' will be invaluable to students and scholars interested in the impact of religion on political thought.

Book Description
The past several decades have seen a renaissance in Christian philosophy, led by the work of Alvin Plantinga, Nicholas Wolterstorff, William Alston, Eleonore Stump, and others. In the spirit of Plantinga s famous manifesto, Advice to Christian Philosophers, James K. A. Smith here offers not only advice to Pentecostal philosophers but also some Pentecostal advice to Christian philosophers. In this inaugural Pentecostal Manifestos volume Smith begins from the conviction that implicit in Pentecostal and charismatic spirituality is a tacit worldview or social imaginary. Thinking in Tongues unpacks and articulates the key elements of this Pentecostal worldview and then explores their implications for philosophical reflection on ontology, epistemology, aesthetics, language, science, and philosophy of religion. In each case, Smith demonstrates how the implicit wisdom of Pentecostal spirituality makes unique contributions to current conversations in Christian philosophy.

Book Description
Inspired by C.S. Lewis’s classic Mere Christianity, the renowned Christian author presents a bold new vision of faith in modern times. In 1952, C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity turned the tide of public debate surrounding the validity of Christian faith. In a series of essays, Lewis made compelling arguments for the existence of God and the divinity of Jesus, answering popular criticisms of the era. Now author Michael Phillips takes up the mantle, going beyond “mere” Christianity to present intellectually rigorous faith as an essential component of contemporary life. Once an avowed atheist, Lewis found spiritual inspiration in the spiritual writings of George MacDonald. As the leading authority on MacDonald’s work, Michael Phillips draws from the same wellspring of wisdom to provide an equally stimulating examination of Christian theology.
