Book Response: Hollywood Worldviews, by Brian Godawa

June 2, 2016 by Tom Grosh IV 2 Comments

“I am a screenwriter. . . . If you don’t have a good story, you won’t have a good movie, no matter who is acting in it or lighting it or directing it or producing it. If the story doesn’t work, the movie doesn’t work” (9). Yes, the writer creates and “the story is king” (10).

Book Response: Desiring the Kingdom, by James K. A. Smith

May 17, 2016 by Tom Grosh IV No Comments

Smith’s “core claim . . . is that liturgies—whether ‘sacred’ or ‘secular’—shape and constitute our identities by forming our most fundamental desires and our most basic attunement to the world. . . . [i.e.,] liturgies make us certain kinds of people, and what defines us is what we love” (25)

Book Response: Transforming Worldviews, by Paul Hiebert

January 25, 2016 by Tom Grosh IV No Comments

Although I have read a lot of material on worldview, I do not remember the “garbled” missionary message and responses–behavior, beliefs, and worldview in the context of a community–receiving proper attention.

Jesus Christ has called me to follow Him as the world’s saviour and lord. As part of this, He’s called me to be an ecologist.

Book Review: The Soul of Atlas

November 13, 2015 by Bob Trube No Comments

Summary: Is there any way to reconcile the thought of Ayn Rand and the Christian faith? Through a personal narrative of dialogues with his two fathers, one a Christian, and one an adherent to Ayn Rand’s philosophy (Objectivism) the author explores what possible ground could exist between Objectivists and Christians.
