Common life in our society is in declineOur communities are disintegrating as the loss of meaningful work and the breakdown of the family leave us anxious and aloneindeed half of all Americans report daily feelings of loneliness Our public discourse is polarized and hateful Ethnic minorities face systemic injustices and the everpresent fear of violence and deportation Economic inequalities are wideningIn this book Jake Meador diagnoses our societys decline as the failure of a particular story weve told about ourselves the story of modern liberalism He shows us how that story has led to our collective loss of meaning wonder and good work and then recovers each of these by grounding them in a different storya story rooted in the deep tradition of the Christian faithOur story doesnt have to end in loneliness and despair There are reasons for hopereasons grounded in a different better story In Search of the Common Good reclaims a vision of common life for our fractured times a vision that doesnt depend on the destinies of our economies or our political institutions but on our citizenship in a heavenly city Only through that visionand that citizenshipcan we truly work together for the common good. the “.

This very brief survey of the emergence of feminist theology, particularly in the last thirty years of the twentieth century, has made it evident that feminist theology is global.

Or can the marketplace a venue for service to others?Scott B. Rae and Kenman L. Wong seek to explore this and other critical business issues from a uniquely Christian perspective, offering up a vision for work and service that is theologically grounded and practically oriented. Among the specific questions they address along the way are these:What implications does the Christian story have for the vision, mission or sense of purpose that shapes business engagement? What parts of business can be affirmed and practiced as is and what parts need to be rejected or transformed? What challenges exist as attempts are made to live out Christian ideals in a broken world characterized by tight margins, fierce competition and short-term investor pressures? How do Christian values inform specific functional areas of business such as the management of people, marketing and environmental sustainability? Business can be even more than an environment through which individual Christians grow in Christlikeness. In this book you\'ll discover how it can also be a means toward serving the common good.The Christian Worldview Integration Series, edited by J. P. Moreland and Francis J. Beckwith, seeks to promote a robust personal and conceptual integration of Christian faith and learning, with textbooks focused on disciplines such as education, psychology, literature, politics, science, communications, biology, philosophy, and history.
