OHIOANA 2015 BOOK AWARDS:
Also, one of the finest reviews to date of Hope Sings was just published in The Merton Annual, written by Raymond Carr, a scholar of religion and ethics at Pepperdine University. I was delighted to meet Raymond just this past weekend at the ITMS in Louisville. The review is noteworthy for its literary-theological sensitivity and remarkable breadth in exploring both the content of Hope Sings and its interdisciplinary method. The review is linked below in PDF format.
Finally, please: if you are aware of any potential readers, reading groups, parish or social outreach groups who might benefit from the book’s engagement with crucial questions around race, gender, and other cross-cultural differences in society and church, please consider passing on this blog post, Raymond Carr’s review, and/or link to the award announcement to as many potential readers as possible. Thank you!
