Farewell, middle-class morality? Capital In The 21st Century by Thomas Piketty

Last updated on: December 22, 2014 at 4:59 pm By The High Calling

By Nathan Roberts The Middle Class is dying. So what? This question opens A.O. Scott’s fascinating response to Thomas Piketty’s bestseller, Capital in the 21st Century. “The book’s thesis,”Scott explains, is “that economic inequality in the developed world is increasing, with potentially dire consequences for social justice and democratic governance.” According to Piketty, the Western dream of an economically egalitarian world is naïve and, ultimately, untenable. His diagnosis hits the Democratic Idealist––for whom “the expansion of the middle class…unfolded according... Read more

Two reviews of Wisdom and Wonder by Abraham Kuyper

Last updated on: April 7, 2015 at 1:20 pm By Patheos Faith and Work Channel

Joseph Sunde InterVarsity’s Emerging Scholars Blog recently posted two reviews of Abraham Kuyper’s Wisdom and Wonder: Common Grace in Science and Art, one from Dan Jesse, the other from David Carlson. Carlson nicely summarizes some of the book’s key implications for the life of the believer: One does not need to do Christian science or Christian art to be a faithful Christian in those domains. One needs to do good science or good art. Yet, science and art are powerful tools that come without a... Read more

This post originally appeared at the Oikonomia Network. One of the things I do most frequently in my work is recommend books. There are tens of thousands of titles on this topic, and quality is very uneven. People need to know what titles they can trust to be a fruitful investment of their time. It has been part of my role to serve as a sort of book recommendation clearinghouse. As the network began to scale up almost three years... Read more

Resources on faith and vocation: a roundup of good stuff

Last updated on: December 4, 2014 at 3:47 pm By Chris Armstrong

This post originally appeared at Grateful to the Dead. Friend Phil Harrold at Trinity School for Ministry in Pittsburgh asks (in the comments area of this post), “What are your top picks for books on Christian faith and vocation?” Here’s my off-the-cuff answer: If you are willing to do some selection, a great sourcebook is Callings, by William Placher. Steve Garber’s new Visions of Vocation is more involved, but also more narrative – likely especially appealing/useful for millennials or at... Read more

Parable for a broken marketplace: the movie “Nightcrawler”

Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 10:04 am By Chris Armstrong

This movie has been out for just over a month (its release was Oct 31, 2104), but we’ll start with the now-customary warning . . . ****SPOILERS: If you are tempted to see this grim, Breaking-Bad-esque moral spiral of a movie (which, in this reviewer’s opinion, is brilliantly done), you will likely want to skip this review until you’ve seen it. As the TV announcers say throughout this film: Viewer Discretion is Advised – Graphic Scenes (and plot points) will... Read more
