Please, Liberal Christians, Read Eugene Peterson
The Christian Century has been publishing reporting, commentary, poetry, and essays on faith in a pluralistic society since 1900.
I am sitting in a study overlooking Flathead Lake in Montana, surrounded by an extensive library.
- Bookshelves line the west wall, featuring collections of Wendell Berry and Karl Barth, including suspected first editions of Church Dogmatics.
- The lowest shelves hold Eerdmans's Theological Dictionaries of the Old and New Testaments, spanning 27 volumes.
- The east side of the study also has bookshelves, below windows with ceramic tiles depicting the Stations of the Cross, created by the Benedictine monks of St. Andrew's Abbey.
