This is the now classic investigation of the different types of Christian responses to the relationship of Jesus Christ to culture. Although Richard Niebuhr's stated purpose is to understand the various types, his constant focus on Christ provides deep insights into the Christian faith.

This is a thorough and challenging intellectual history of a form of ethical reasoning excoriated since the 17th century, only to emerge in the 20th as a principal method of analyzing contemporary ethical problems. It is an excellent and even necessary foundation for ethicists.

The title story of this anthology of prize-winning essays and short stories from the Tom Howard Contest is a beautifully evocative monologue of a man who loses contact with reality when his watch breaks. Instead of despair, dementia leads the narrator to the farthest reaches of time and space. Other pieces range from Jennifer Antonnaci's reminiscence of 9/11 to Jan Breen's story of a musician who can make the deaf hear her sing. I highly recommend this fine collection.
