In this “Summer Books Issue” we include book reviews from a broad range of topics including history, philosophy, theology, ethics and spirituality. It is our hope that this broad range of topics finds an audience that is seeking for a diversity of topics.
Included you will find a philosophical exploration of the relationship between religion and politics, particularly in the context of a “post-political age” by William G. Fredstrom; a perusal of Shubert M. Ogden’s Notebooks, a collection of reflections, insights and thought of this prominent systematic theologian by Paul E. Capetz; a reading of Jose David Rodríguez’ book on the history of the Lutheran Church in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean; the consideration of a constructive ethical proposal on the globalized market economy proposed by Cynthia D. Moe-Lobeda; and an exploration of Pope Francis’ inspiring stories about the wisdom of the elderly around the world by Donna Witzenberger-Rodríguez.
Happy Reading!
