Over at the Touchstone web site, they have put a book review of mine online.  Two years ago I reviewed D.A. Carson's Christ and Culture Revisited (Eerdmans, 2008).  I enjoyed the book, although I offer a criticism or two in the review.  If one is working through these issues, Carson provides a very helpful summary of Niebuhr's classic work, Christ and Culture, criticizes aspects of Niebuhr's analysis, attempts to bring the discussion up to date, and then offers his own positive proposal.  The review can be accessed here.

Touchstone magazine has put one of my book reviews on their web page.  A few years ago I reviewed Donald Schmeltekopf and Barry Hankins, The Baylor Project: Taking Christian Higher Education to the Next Level (South Bend, IN:  St. Augustine's Press, 2007).  It is a fascinating read, particularly for (1) those with an interest  in Christian higher education and/or (2) those with some interest in, or connection to, Baylor University.  The book is on the whole a review of (former Baylor president) Robert Sloan's efforts at Baylor University, and his legacy.  Sloan himself concludes the volume with a thirty-five page chapter.  The review can be accessed here.

I reviewed Barry G. Hankins and Donald D. Schmeltekopf, The Baylor Project: Taking Christian Higher Education to the Next Level (St. Augustine’s Press, 2007) in the November 2008 issue of Touchstone.  As a Baylor graduate (Ph.D. in Theology, 2000), I was eager to read the book, a collection of essays written by persons associated with Baylor (most are or were employees).  Particularly interesting is Robert Sloan's response chapter.  For those wanting to learn more about Baylor's efforts to become a "first-tier" university, and the ambitions of former President Robert Sloan, this is a great read.

I reviewed D.A. Carson's, Christ and Culture Revisited (Eerdmans, 2008) in the June 2009 issue of Touchstone.  The book offers a very helpful of Niebuhr's classic Christ and Culture.  Carson notes some significant weaknesses in Niebuhr, and then explicates the key biblical and theological issues related to the question of "Christ and culture."  I briefly note in the Touchstone review one main criticism I have of the book: while Carson offers a helpful summary of the key issues, I finished the book wishing Carson had engaged in more synthesis.  That is, I finished the book wishing Carson had offered a more full-orbed theology of Christ and culture.
