{"product_id":"inhabiting-the-world-ryan-andrew-newson-9780881466492","title":"Inhabiting the World","description":"It is now widely acknowledged that the Western world has been transitioning into a \"postmodern\" context. Many of the commitments that gained ascendancy during the Enlightenment are rapidly changing, including cultural sensibilities, manufacturing practices, philosophical theories, and political forms. The challenge for Christians of all stripes is to strive to faithfully engage the world without acquiescence or retreat. Ryan Newson argues that resources contained in the \"baptist vision\" of Christian life are uniquely helpful in describing how Christians might transformatively and receptively inhabit the world as it now is. He unpacks the contours of a Christian identity centered around listening--to oneself, to others, and to the wild voice of God--and focuses his argument by engaging the work of James Wm. McClendon, Jr., by pushing back on and creatively extending McClendon's work, including into the fields of neuroscience, political theology, church practices, and ecclesial failure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan Andrew Newson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0881466492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881466492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercer University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Ryan Andrew Newson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926753345791,"sku":"9780881466492","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c496d150-5ec0-48bd-83b9-0d8724b97583.jpg?v=1681084821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inhabiting-the-world-ryan-andrew-newson-9780881466492","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
